Tanukis get hit by cars, killed by police, and there's a lot of implied death.

Addition to Ambre's comment: The head is reminiscent of a head or mask out of Japanese theatre/mythology, with exaggerated and distorted features; it doesn't look like a normal human face that could exist. It's not exactly squashed, but split in half by a truck.

Depends on definition. A tanuki is trapped in a small cage, and no one knows how long it will have to stay there.

It's mentioned that tanukis (like every other living being) die, including those who have children. The sentence goes something like "They had cubs, ate, drank [...] and eventually died, much too quickly." I'm almost completely sure that no specific character whom we know to be a parent dies in the movie.

The tanukis take the shape of spirits and demons; that's all.

A metaphoric, very non-explicit group suicide happens. Tanukis are shown partying on a boat, sailing away.

Not in the clinical sense, I'd say. A tanuki has a breakdown, but that's more like uncontrollable sorrow for good reason.

I don't think so. Perhaps some overweight characters are meant to look funny, but it's not something I noticed.

Male tanukis can transform into female humans, and female tanukis can transform into male humans, for fun, as transformation practice and because it could be useful. So people who met the tanukis in that form would take them to be of another sex than they actually are. But I wouldn't call that "misgendering" in the problematic sense.

Because of japanese mythology of tanukis shape shifting and transforming their testicles, animal testicles are shown very often. This is never done in a sexual manner.

the ending is kind of bittersweet- but it's not the worst it could be.

Some tanukis are. We see it happen once or twice, and we see at least one dead tanuki lying dead on the road after being hit.

A little blood. I remember one dead tanuki with a small pool of blood by its head, and there may be blood in other scenes. But nothing even comes close to gore.

Not really violence, as far as I remember. A gun is fired wildly into the air out of fear; I'm 95% sure no one is hit (it's hard to tell). Someone forces a group of characters into submission by pointing with a gun.
