Stuff to be aware of:
Grossness - In the first episode a ping ping ball knocks a zombie’s eye out. There are alien looking vines that grow around the town and the characters cut them in two and slime pours our of them. A sentient monster humanoid’s leg falls off. There is no blood and he says it will grow back.
A monster squirts liquid that people drink out of tentacles he has. Zombies loose arms and legs, but these scenes are not graphic or gross, they are more like Plants vs Zombies. Some monsters get legs and tentacles cut off and purple blood/slime comes out.
Religion - There
Scary - There are lots of zombies and monsters in the show, but them being animated makes them much less scary than a live action show. The zombies’ eyes glow.
In the second episode of Book 2 there is a pizza place full of aliens, and some might be a bit scary to younger viewers.
Sexual - One of the male characters obviously has a crush on one of the female characters. One character sleeps in his boxer shorts and a tank top.
Violence - There is plenty of cartoon fighting and violence, but nothing graphic or bloody.
A huge monster gets stabbed in the eye and in the head, but there is no blood and later acid is thrown on his eyes and leaves a burn mark. Sometimes when monsters are stabbed or sliced an odd color liquid pours out.
Other - There i
