I have a few friends who are pretty curious about this show, as it's one of my
favorites. However, my friends might not be able to handle some explicit
stuff, and I haven't seen it in a while. Anything that you know of that would
bypass the US pg-13 standard? I am aware of the cursing, but any sexual
content that I may have missed?

MM!'s Age Rating?


If your friends are at all likely to be offended by sexual content beyond a US
MPAA PG-13 rating, you should not show them MM. Memor-X points out in the
comments that [Right-Stuf lists the show as
17+](http://www.rightstufanime.com/MM-Blu-ray-Complete-Collection-Hyb) and
[Sentai Filmworks rates it TV-MA](http://www.sentaifilmworks.com/shows/mm),
and it's not hard to see why. This is a show about a masochist who derives
pleasure from being tormented by beautiful women. Many of the other characters
also have fetishes and tics that go beyond what you would see in an MPAA
PG-13: there's a sadist, a voyeur, a lolicon, an aggressive quasi-rapey
lesbian, a transvestite, and the main character's mother and sister, who both
fantasize about being romantically involved with him despite being related by
blood. And if that's too subtle, there's plenty of nudity, aroused moaning,
and other sexually suggestive imagery, pretty much all of it involving
underage characters. (Not _drastically_ underage; the main characters are all
in high school, so they're around 16. It's not exactly child porn. But it is
yet another reason why I wouldn't show this series to just anyone. And Mio and
Noa both _look_ young.)

Ask yourself if you want to sit there with your friends while they watch a
girl hold another girl helpless and grope and strip her as she blushes and
moans, saying things like "Tell me you like it. You like it, don't you?" Ask
yourself if you want to have to explain to them why the main character's
sister just stripped down to her panties and jumped on top of him. Think about
how much you would relish the looks on their faces when they find out what a
lolicon is.

It's easy for we fans to get used to these things and forget that it's
shocking for a lot of people. It might just seem like wacky fun to us, but to
a normal American, this is some screwed up abnormal stuff. Unless your friends
are already hardcore otaku who eat this stuff for breakfast (not people who've
been into Naruto for years and recently watched Attack on Titan), I would just
stop even mentioning this show. Don't show it to them. If you think they might
be open to this kind of sexual free-for-all but you're not sure, show them
something like Love Hina or maybe To-Love-Ru first just to gauge their
reaction.
