One of the show's main themes is women's place in its society. As such, violence against women is present. I did not find it tasteless nor "at random" like the trigger description implies but that is a theme one should be aware of.

Animals are definitely abused. Exotic animals are kept for amusement. Birds are caged in too-small cages with no toys or stimulation.

E4: Just clarifying that the spider in E4 is fine. It is released at the end of the scene and crawls away unharmed.
However, a bird definitely dies in the same episode (E4)… it’s brief but very sad. It was an accident and she is placed in her nest with her eggs.
E6: A rat is killed with a sword near the beginning of this episode. Monkeys are killed with a sword near the middle of this episode.
E7: A bird is killed with an arrow after being set free. Later, the person who set it free is forced to eat it.

There are a few instances of minor characters (unnamed soldiers/guards) dying trying to protect important characters. One major character endures torture to protect another character but they do not die during this.
In the final episode, a very minor character performs a seppuku ritual (“hari-kiri”) when defeated.

I am saying no but there is a very subtle implication that a character who is killed was pregnant. However, it’s not confirmed or overt, and very much up for interpretation. That’s what I got from it though and I’m sure I won’t be alone in picking the subtle hints up.

Mentioned and used as an insult fairly frequently. There’s a puppet show about an onryo (wrathful spirit) that has some imagery that is reminiscent of demons and Hell. In E6, a character is drugged with a powerful hallucigenic and hallucinates people as demon-like. Also, some of the oni masks look like Shinto “demons.”

It’s a series that’s not yet over. But the ending of season 1 was neither completely happy nor completely sad.

Not technically a car, however a carriage carried by several people is held hostage and does sort of “crash” in the snow.

Gun violence is a major theme in the show, culminating in the last episode where an army with guns storms the palace.
