It's on late at night... who ever keeps their kids up that late or tapes the show for them obviously is not concerned with the amount of violence in it. I <3 Inuyasha and the shows are tamer in violence then the movies. I know that the show in Japan is also played later at night, so obviously, it's not intended for 5 year olds. Use your own discretion. The monk is just a joke. He gropes everything in sight but it never gets anywhere. There is no nudity in the TV episodes... manga does ;p and some mild well choreographed hidden nudity in the movies. Make your own decision on the rating, view it first and decide if that's what you want your kids to watch. Rating is just a general guideline and they recomend PG 13. Personally I think that anime is not for kids period. It deals with more 'adult' themes a 10 year old couldn't really understand ;p I'm 24 and I watch it. I <3 it.
