Maturity ratings help guide viewers in making informed choices about what’s suitable to watch. They take into account age, maturity, and sensitivity to themes like violence or language. On Crunchyroll, you’ll see these ratings displayed on show detail pages and before playback begins.
What are the maturity ratings in Australia?
Australia’s maturity rating system has five main categories:
| Rating | Description |
|
G |
This content is appropriate for all ages. |
|
PG |
Parental guidance recommended. May have content that a child may find confusing or upsetting. |
|
M |
Not recommended for children under 15. May contain violence and mature themes. |
|
MA 15+ |
For ages 15 and over. May contain strong sex scenes and drug use. |
|
R 18+ |
For adults 18 years and over. Content may be offensive to sections of the adult community. |

Where can I find the Maturity Rating?
You’ll see maturity ratings in three places:
- In the details page: Located alongside the show or movie description.
- Content breakdowns: Extra details may explain why a rating was given (e.g., violence, nudity, strong language).
- At the start of playback: Ratings and descriptors briefly appear in the upper left-hand corner when you begin an episode or movie.
What are Maturity Restrictions?
Maturity restrictions let Crunchyroll account holders limit what content is available to profiles on their account.
- Restrictions are password-protected.
- They tie directly to maturity ratings.
- Content above the chosen rating level will be automatically blocked from playback.
This feature ensures every household member has an anime experience tailored to their preferences.
