Jigoku Shoujo

It is said that if someone seeks revenge, they should dig two graves—and this is especially true of those who use the Hell Correspondence website. At the stroke of midnight, this ominous web domain becomes accessible, and whoever inputs the name of their grudge will get a visit from Ai Enma, the Hell Girl. Ai explains that she will send the target's soul to hell, but the requester will also end up in hell when they die.

For some, that price is far too steep; for others, where they will spend their afterlife has no bearing on their current, day-to-day hell. But one thing is certain: the Hell Girl will always be available to those in need of revenge, while she stoically performs her duty of ferrying souls into the darkness.

Jigoku Shoujo is a rare find when it comes to story telling and managing to keep you hooked. Each episode has a great story of different "sins" and the outcomes of those involved. Some episodes will leave you feeling happy for the main character while others will make you feel like crap due to the injustice coming from the wish hellgirl grants. She isnt on anyone side and is simply here to observe and later guide those to hell. While she's just a entity living among us (hehe) she has a dark past that lead her to becoming what she is now. You learn about ... her story as the episodes progress but you never get the real story till the end. Her assistants or her helpers are also great and add alot to the story. The reason I gave this anime a 10 was because all the elements just seem so unique. Its a great watch alone or with friends.

Mixed Feelings

Hell girl is somewhat of a classic, an occult revenged themed show that borders between repetitive and captivating.

The episodic nature of Hell girl does lend itself to feeling a bit slower than it should, yet there's always an emotional charge that kept me watching.

The characters have an interesting complexity to them, The hatred that fuels revenge is demonstrated multiple times in the show and it sometimes becomes clear the anime wants to show how foggy revenge can be. Of course some characters are easy to get, they are saints or bat shit crazy or evil incarnate so revenge seems an obvious path for some of ... the spawns of Satan the anime presents you with.

Visuals are dated, it shows its age, music and themes are akin to anime like Higurashi and Shiki. It has a sad and damned mood to it.

Overall Hell girl is a nice watch if you have the patience for it's pace and age.

Not Recommended

'Hell Girl',this anime started pretty well but soon fell off with the same cliche content in each episode.At first the concept of vengeance and it's price felt really well written but my breaking point was Episode 10,the entire episode was really bad,they could've really showed us the meaning of reconciliation and trust in each other and sometimes that revenge is not the answer and the episode was heading in that very direction but at the end it didn't happen.
In my opinion they could've really showed this in a more noble and idealistic way rather than the same thing over and over.
... As for recommendation, I would recommend this anime if you want to experience the same plot with nothing new in each episode.If you're looking for a show with more fulfilling aspects and well written outcome at the end,then this is not for you.
