Should NGE's age rating be teen or mature? There is sex in it, and according to the encyclopedia, that is mature-rated content. There is nudity as well, but that's categorized under teen and violence, but there is also graphic language (f***, s***) and that's mature; so which age group is it rated for? Half of its dub has been rated TVMA, so should we categorize it as mature or teen in the encyclopedia?

Next time, if you have any questions on age ratings, post them on the Memorandum: Age Rating thread.

Well there's a mature rating on the encyclopedia on Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End Of Evangelion. dose that make you happy?

Encyclopedia on The End Of Evangelion wrote:
Age rating: Mature (May contain sex, drugs, and extreme graphic violence)


As for there is also graphic language (f***, s***), Some TA animes have words like that. Like in the 1st episode of Bleach, Ichigo says "What bull**** are you talking about". So I don't think that the Neon Genesis Evangelion anime should be rated MA.

Just because some fansubber decided to translate it as "bullshit" doesn't mean anything. Fansubbers, and often ADV, like to use more "colorful" language than actually necessary in their translations.
