ReportSynopsis
Sotobamura is a small village with around 1300 residents; so small the village isn't even connected to a single highway. An isolated village in which old customs, such as the burial of the dead, are still practiced. One day, the bodies of three people are found dead. Although Ozaki Toshio, the village's lone doctor, feels uncertain, he treats the deaths as a normal occurrence. However, in the days following, the villagers start to die one after the other.

A dog dies off screen, but the emotional impact on the owner is central to the storyline, and the killing of a pet foreshadows the dangers coming to the human residents.

They don't do it for the sake of a jeering crowd, but the brutal death of a woman on-screen is a sort of spectacle in how extreme it is.

Possibly. A character named Nao has a brief flashback where she thinks about how she was in a negligent household as a child, but there aren’t specifics.

One of the characters, Megumi Shimizu, spies on Natsuno Yuuki from the very first episode by hiding outside his window. There is also a very strong theme of the villagers being watched/stalked by monsters throughout the show.

Some of the characters smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol but addiction isn't a major theme in the show. The vampires having intense hunger and needing blood to survive could be viewed as addiction.

Towards the end of the series a girl (Megumi Shimizu) has her head squashed by a tractor wheel. It is quite graphic but also quite obvious when it is about to happen because she is pinned to the ground in a field. It isn't actually shown that her teeth are damaged, but it can be assumed.

In episode 14, the doctor uses a scalpel to draw a few drops of blood from his finger. In the same episode, he also uses a scalpel on a vampire he is experimenting on. The cuts heal quickly but there is a lot of blood and graphic muscle and veins. Many characters are also stabbed and/or impaled with stakes.

Not necessarily "alive", but there is a scene where a boy comes back as a vampire but is trapped in his coffin. He's let out, though.

A boy wakes up in a buried coffin as an ‘undead’, which is quite claustrophobic. He realises that he is undead and therefore not breathing anymore, which causes him to panic for a moment. In episode 18, a woman loses consciousness and dies after hyperventilating. Some characters also experience paranoia so may struggle to breathe.

The vampires blister and burn in sunlight, and some of them die this way in the later episodes of the show. In the season 2 opening there is also some imagery of people burning. In episode 22 an injured man falls into fire but it is unclear if he was already dead or if he died from the fire.

There are several scenes that are claustrophobic. Once a guy is shown waking up in a coffin, once a child is kidnapped and trapped in a small room with a bad guy, there are narrow tunnels, a girl in a suitcase (though she gets in willingly), etc.

Someone’s head is nearly accidentally hit by a tyre on an electric scooter, but it stops just before it touches them. In episode 18, someone moves out of the way just before a car hits them. It's also mentioned in the same episode that the driver has been running over multiple people with the car. In episode 21, a man is deliberately hit head-on by a car and it is quite graphic. He has a head injury from this but escapes. In episode 22, a girl is deliberately hit and run over by tractors.
