In anime, the typical label for majority is 13+ and most of these are not exactly the same. Some have gore and no ecchi, others have no gore but plenty of ecchi and others(like many) have both in equal amounts, while some(my personal favourite) keep a mature story-line despite not showing any explicit content, that way, you can watch and enjoy it with almost anyone even though its not really for kids.

Naruto, Bleach and One Piece all have the 13+ rating even though there are plenty of stuff that go beyond.

You know the surefire steps to tell the age rating of a series?

1. See if there are hot girls

2. See if the girls are portrayed with correct anatomy(yes I mean whether they have nipples -_-)

3. See if they talk about mature subject matter

And voila! There you go.

That's a very easy, basic way to know. Some series may carry the 13+ label, but the moment they step on these factors, things become unsuitable for kids.

The problem is that, they show so much blatant fanservice but refuse to show the gore and the mature subjects, which in my way of life, doesn't make any sense. If you are gonna make kids into perverts(or misfits) anyway, why not spill the beans on the other realities of the human world? When I was growing up, I was taught about many of the cruelties in life(and experienced them first-hand) but I never delved into the more naughty things till I hit 6th grade. So what does that mean?
