Episode 7. Lots of that, and though not encouraged, still messed up to watch since blood and scratches are shown along with dog death.

Season two has massive amounts of spiders visible and mentioned. Avoid it if you have an extreme phobia, or be prepared to look away a lot.

The main character was abducted by a cult that repeatedly and ritually assaulted him while in their custody before the events of the series. In Book Of Circus there is a pedophile obsessed with the main character. A child character in season 2 is “adopted” by a pedophile.

In Season 1, Ciel (child, human) is investigating Allistor Chambers (adult, human) for the Jack the Ripper case. During a ball, where Ciel dresses as a woman to disguise himself, he is lead to a room where he is drugged by a miasma- which leads him to pass out.
In Season 2, there is an episode where Ciel is continuously dunked into medicated water- leading him to be disoriented and confused enough to affect his memories.

In the second part of Book of Murder a character is buried alive, but it was part of a plan to make it seems like they were revived (the character was aware they would be buried alive and agreed)

SPOILERS
At the end of season 1 a characters arm is cut off, unsure if this counts as its not proper amputation but still is in a way.

Manga only. The aftermath of a birth is very briefly shown, and only shows the mother and her children in the hospital bed. Nothing graphic.

Alois, a confirmed gay character, dies in the second season. Grell Sutcliff, another LGBTQ character, is already dead (but she is a reaper and is never shown to die). I think an intersex angel named Angela dies at the end of the first season too.

One of the characters is a female, but in the anime gets treated like a man because of her being trans. If you want to avoid that it gets much less obvious in the manga, but still present.

Throughout the show, Grell (adult, grim reaper) is very well known for openly sexually harrassing Sebastian (adult, demon).
In Season 2, there is a heavy implication of Claude's (adult, demon) interest in Ciel (child, human/demon).
Season 2 also features sexual abuse and pedophilia, as Alois (child, human), and many other children his age, were taken in by the Earl Trancy (adult, human) and were treated as "dolls".
