The animation, art and music is extremely unsettling. The art style is adapted wholesale from a horror manga and looks different to what's normally accepted as anime.
The freaks torment, rape and abuse Midori through the whole movie. They're among the most heartless anime characters imaginable.
The scene with the puppies being killed and eaten will upset animal lovers.
Numerous surreal sequences and creepy nightmares from Midori's perspective.
The scene where the dwarf kills his audience may be disgusting and disturbing
If this film were rated by the MPAA, it would absolutely be rated R for strong grotesque violent images and disturbing content throughout including animal abuse and child exploitation and for sexual violence.
