Episode "Souichi's Beloved Pet": a cat has a rope tied around its neck like a noose and he gets pulled by it. The cat then gets cursed and starts behaving violently and looking demonic. If it helps, the cat is clearly voiced by a human pretending to make cat sounds, so it's not realistic. The only really upsetting part is seeing the cat pulled around by a noose but it is brief.

Suicide is a constant theme throughout the series. Though the suicides are usually implied, they are sometimes shown and I would not recommend this series if you are very sensitive to the topic of suicide.
