Natsuki Subaru, an ordinary high school student, is on his way home from the convenience store when he finds himself transported to another world. As he's lost and confused in a new world where he doesn't even know left from right, the only person to reach out to him was a beautiful girl with silver hair. Determined to repay her somehow for saving him from his own despair, Subaru agrees to help the girl find something she's looking for.
This tv show contains 61 potentially triggering events.
Not on-screen, but according to a loredump in arc 5, the princess of the kingdom went missing as a baby, and there's speculation that a different character abducted and abandoned her.
reality is fairly stable, but because there are timeloops there can be confusion as things repeat themselves and/or shift in different paths. the trials also exist in a bit of a dreamlike state, so those are a bit of a gray area.
There's no D.I.D. in the story, but in the 6th arc Subaru goes through something that resembles a sort of fantasy D.I.D., due to a bunch of different things that would be hard to explain without spoilers. Obviously this isn't a true depiction of D.I.D. either way, but it's still worth noting.
There are action scenes that involve women, but they generally aren't treated differently from other action scenes and aren't indicative of abuse in that sense.
in a way, the witch of envy is always watching subaru. also in subaru's first trial, at the end he learns echidna was observing the entire thing. there's also a notable scene in a restaurant where subaru doesn't realize that every patron is part of the personal army of the person he was talking to, listening in on their conversation.
There are oni who can be called demons based on the translation. They're a fantasy race with horns, not demons in a biblical sense. There's no connection to hell
SPOILERS ——-
Towards the beginning of the episode, Subaru is frozen and then crushed by Puck, shattering him to pieces. Although he was certainly going to die regardless of the crushing, it still happens
Garfiel believes he was abandoned by his mother, but in reality she had actually died. But he and Frederica actually were abandoned by their respective fathers. There's also Emilia's foster mother/aunt saying goodbye to her while she goes to fight. And Beatrice was sort of abandoned by her mother in a library for 400 years. Also if kids being separated from their parents is a big trigger in general, Subaru gets forced away from his and it's pretty emotional (Though not abandonment).
No, but there is a scene where a character drinks some tea which contains something he didn't know about (Tears, apparently). Not drugs but it does have a magic effect, albeit not a bad one.
MC gets spiky chains circled around his neck and thrown down a balcony. his neck is damaged and he struggles to breath, also he bleeds a lot. It gets reversed fue to the show's premise
The main character is constantly being tortured mentally and/or physically. There's an on-screen scene where the limbs and the neck of the blue-coded twin get twisted and broken as she is left for dead. Many characters suffer a lot mentally.
[S1] An animal's eye gets taken out of its socket iirc.
[S2] A character gets stabbed in the eye, it isn't shown directly but we see the lunge and then afterwards the eye being covered.
Pretty much any kind of gore you can think of will be in this show, it comes our of no where and its graphic.
It definitely adds to plot and atmosphere but something to keep in mind
In the second arc there is a lot of child endangerment and at the start of the third arc all of the village children are explicitly and graphically shown dead.
there are two characters with "loli" designs in scantily clad clothes in the 5th arc (3rd season). you can debate if they count as "minors" in this context, but the fact of the matter is that sexualized imagery resembling children is still a triggering subject.
Edit: the anime adaptation has toned down the sexualization of the outfits in question
[S2] Three separate instances of a young child witnessing the death of their parental figure(s). Unlike many deaths in the series, these are not undone.
“Tr*p” trope, particularly egregious since Ferris was a trans woman in the source material but is falsely portrayed as male in this adaptation. She isn’t predatory outright but this is still transphobic.
For a moment it's directly broken in the first arc, with subaru turning to the camera and saying "don't try this at home". beyond that subaru also makes genre-aware comments throughout.
Felix Argyle is officially a trans woman in the light novel. However in the anime, the character is referred to as a very feminine cis man and gets confused as a girl by the protagonist.
not requited at least, but ram does have feelings for roswaal who is far older than her (shes 18, hes 100+). also in arc 5 of the lite novel theres a background romance between two adults but one of them is a "legal loli" type character (shes 22 but looks 12 is still dressed scantily) so it can still be upsetting regardless.
not necessarily sexually, but emilia is objectified by subaru and that's the point. this extends to other characters too- at the beginning of his arc he saw them as tropes rather than people. though again this isnt all sexual.
however, from a more meta perspective, a lot of the designs can very much be seen as sexually objectifying, but that's a conclusion to draw as a viewer.
Some jokes but nothing explicit actually happens. Some characters wear revealing outfits, and a couple times men are shown naked in non-sexual situations (no genitals are shown)
