| Ok, I finally watched the subbed first ep. At first, I decided to wait, when all eps will be aired and subbed, but i could'nt resist...: D I liked the OP song, but the OP himself was a lil bit boring. One of the first things I thought, that the drawing style changed a bit. Then, the scene with Ren and a boy: not yaoi'ish to me, but useless. Aaand the scene with Enma and girl: I don't think it's yuri, maybe shoujo-ai. At first I was, like WTF??, but it's kinda cute. O.o And i'm really sorry for the teacher. Damn, he was a good guy.>.> anyways, I thought, that the first ep will be worse than this.XD |
mizrock said: off topic; SNoW plz come backkk!!! Nana just cant do the same 'dark n mysterious' song to fit the anime. curse you Sony for dropping her! *typed Sony Japan on Hell's website* Sony didn't really drop her, her contract ended and she decided to take a paus from the singing and concentrate on school, however she has been back since 10 April this year but she has changed her stage name to Yukie |
   |
| Very good intro, just like the first two seasons. OP and ED are great too, apart from that I don't have much more to say, it's very similar to Jigoku Shoujo and Futakomori, a worthy continuation. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Great first episode. Ai's "transformation" sequence was kinda cool. And Bee Ai <3 |
 |
mizrock said: when they say she was no longer listed from Sony and disappeared, everyone was saying she didnt cut it too well and so was dropped (note to self, do not believe in every rumors you've heard). at least that's what I have heard, but it's possible that the fact that she decided to take a break was a rumor too. b´But if I don't remeber it wrongly that was what has been written in her blogg.. but she could be lying... if shw wrote it that's it. It was such a long time agi >__<" |
|
 Welcome back, Ai. I don't use the word often, but this was just epic. What an awesome episode, the atmosphere was just as I hoped it would be. It's so good seeing Ai again. The OP is really nice, I'm definitely getting the full version once it's out. I liked the little animated Vista cursor on the PC, hehe. But when the teacher caught the girl going through his things, when he started writing stuff down in his book, I knew that the book was gonna be emtpy. The Ippen shinde miru? was so great, it sent a shiver down my spine. It's been a while since I've experienced something like that while watching an anime. I can't wait for more. I'm glad that an experienced group like FTA-Anime picked this up, and they even got some help from Ayu. What else could you wish for. Loved it. |

| Bee-Ai ruined it for me... The first season was great, the second one ok, but this one is screwed up... Too much wanna-be-funny stuff. I usually also don't mind some fanservice, but not in an anime that is supposed to be serious... |
 |
| the episode was ok, except the part when Enma Ai was in a bee costume...also the outcome was a bit predictable |

canis said: Bee-Ai ruined it for me... The first season was great, the second one ok, but this one is screwed up... That's exactly what i thought! Lame episode =/ |
| Just got around to watching this finally since an archive quality release (Shinsen) came out today. Beautiful HD and softsubs, the way it should be. <3 Anyway, I really liked it. Nice new ED (though not as good as Aizome) and the animation was just gorgeous. Kikuri is as weird as ever, Ai is looking good, and her new appearance sequence was tripping balls. Really looking forward to seeing how this unfolds. |
| When I saw the kissing scene, I said, hmmm, a service for girlxgirl fans? Anyway, the animation is better and also the sound. Well, maybe the sound is better since I was using an earphone. Eh, blue butterfly? The transformation was more glorious. Maybe it was with all the flowers and what was it? hehehe. I was sad to see the sensei has to be sent to hell. He was good. The OP and ED were nice. If to compare the 3 seasons, I like S1 OP better. |

| Ooh, this episode sure was excellent. I laughed hard at Bee-suit Ai. :D OP and ED are nice as well. Seems like it might even surpass Futakomori if it keeps this up and that's just wonderful. Best "Ippen shinde miru?" yet as well. |
 |
| Finally caught up to Mitsuganae. Great to see a fresh new start and Ai's return. The opening song's also nice. I wonder who's that new boy... new servant? |
 |
| i hate this episode... don't think that it looks real and great... when she transforms and when she posessed her and so... simply i don't like it!! about the new servant i think it may be an explanation for him as there was one for everybody! |
| When I first glanced at the epi, I thought Yamawaro was Kuribayashi Takuma from the 2nd season, (Hell's Child arc) lol. |
| lol stupid girl, and stupid hate. |
 |
| This was so sad, Ahaha, and that 'yuri' bathing scene was nice. Ai seemed also really cool character now and her new kimono was cute ! ~~ |
     |
| Okay, new things have happened, and I liked it, but sending a teacher into hell because he's like that is really idiotic. There are some worst teachers than him. Idiot student girl, she didn't know that his teacher is actually good. Yuri scene with Enma and the girl in the bathroom woot. Her nanjuban has now balls instead of flowers which is kinda cool. :D |
| I'm a bit confused as to what I think about the episode. I was really looking forward to it when I finished watching Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori. To start off, I wassurprised tht in the beginning, Kikuri was the one speaking, not Wanyudo. I thought "oh, is she the big boss now?" I gues I was a bit dissappointed in the episode. On the whole, yay for Ai coming back, but what's the big deal with the other girl? And things felt a bit rushed for me, that with everyone getting together so quickly and immediatley going ot with a request. And it really was a bit stupid with the teacher. I mean, why the hell listen to music in class, then order around a teacher and expect not to get in trouble? The events of this episode would normally strike me, and they did have similar things happen before as well. One person sends another to hell, only to later find out that they weren't bad at all. When the girl found out the teacher wasn't bad, it didn't seem to have that little 'touch' that Jigoku Shoujo normally has. It wasn't bad, but I know they can do better. There were interesting bit in the episode tohugh. I mean, who's this new guy who joined the group? He kinda looks like Takuma from last season. And lol for Kikury - I wouldn't be surprised if the others took advantage of the fact she can'n go on with her crazines forever. lol. I'll keep watching the series, after all, the first episode of Futakomori felt like a dissappointment for me too, but then I really enjoyed the series. I really hope this season gets back on track with it's stye and, most importantly, developes that 'finishing touch' which makes it such a good show. |
  |
| awww poor teacher!!! he wasnt that bad after all =( there's only 1 thing that confused me... is that 1 boy the devil child from season 2??? oh well ill find out eventually i guess... |
 |
| i liked it! it was a good start~ |
| Well that was quite unexpected... I didn't liked the Yuri scene, it wasn't needed... she could've just grap her hand or something like that XD I was like wth when I saw Takuma in the bath and when he dropped his "cover" I was like o.O but it's nice to see that he's now a servant of Enma (so he isn't human anymore since he was sent to Hell but was brought back, right?)... Nice to see Enma but it's annoying Kikuri is still in the season :( I saw the story with the teacher coming, I just knew he didn't wrote anything at all and he wasn't a bad person... but he was too harsh.. but still, poor teacher |
| Yay. Ai is back. But like always, I facepalm myself at the things people sell their soul for. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| This is one of the episodes, which I get to like after I think on them for some time(just as many episodes from Futukamori and some of the first season). We see pretty good example why we must not hurry to (mis)judge people around us New OP, especially the first few seconds that explain about the sending to hell & stuff, are worse than ever. OP song is not as good as it was on previous two seasons. These, the new recruit and the kissing scene probably shocked me at first sight and I couldn't see the episode at its best, but I hope things will go different on next episodes(at least I'll be prepared for the weird stuff). Anyway, at its best, this anime was the best for me because of the atmosphere mainly, but the drama can be enough too. I hope there'll be some of it these two, as the episodes passes. |

lonehunter88 said: hmm honestly, i didnt notice ren blushing until i saw this discussion and watched the first episode again.. the quality on veoh wasnt that good ^^; well, i don't think it's really yaoi, but it does seem awkward.. about enma's kiss, i have to agree it's mainly fanservice.. but hey, it also makes the show special. nobody wants to see a lame boring possession. about the leaders of the underworld in jigoku shoujo, mainly portrayed is the spider, who is probably possessing kikuri out of convenience. i dont think enma ai is considered a leader.. the spider demon is just using her to gather his hell army. wanyuudon probably called her 'enma sama' out of respect, and at that time, kikuri was just a little girl enma picked up, never expecting the spider to possess her. thus, enma ai was her master. this explains the 'sama' denomination. other than this, we have hints of a higher power in the second episode, which seals the souls of enma's loved ones. anyways, let's just let the series explain the story. i dont think we have enma again just because the fans love her. she's the hell girl, and the series just doesnt make sense without her. i was sooooo disappointed that she died in the 2nd season, and thought there wouldnt be another sequel. i was thinking, if there was, kikuri might be the next hell girl, and that would really be hell on earth ^^; but then again, it's the common tradition in animes to have the main character all the way. about the summoning, i'm not sure about this voodoo or demonology stuff, but according to ren, the kid and hone onna's discussion, it might be just for a physical body that's easier to move. my inference is that enma ai wants yuzuki to act as a damper/passive force against her friends' hatred, to help them in their judgements, as did tsugumi n hajime in the 2nd season. fyi, mitsuganae means 3 person seated facing together, meaning there should be another main character other than yuzuki, or it could also mean the relationship and development between enma, the person who requests enma ai's redemption, and yuzuki in every episode. tsugumi is also not dead yet, so there's a chance she will appear this season too. Before I write my own opinion, I think I'll just quote you and say I agree with everything you're saying here, lonehunter88. Very nice post. seekster said: Comments made while watching episode 1: ... Ah well at least now we may find out what pi is completely. A nice start for season 3. Your post made me literally laugh out loud for the first time in a really, REALLY long time. Thanks for the humor to this! Now for my own stuff (all imho since I won't put "imho" after each point): Hmm... To address the named "yuri scene", As pointed out before, I don't think this was yuri but a ritual scene. At the same time, however, it can surely be called "fanservice"... just not yuri (though it was probably made to appear yuri at first). To address the "yaoi scene", I'm pretty sure that Ren-san was blushing because the boy was naked, not because he was attracted to him in any way. Watch some more anime and you will see that this is an oft-recurring element. I like ojo-sama's new kimono -- best one yet! ...And I forgot the rest of what I wanted to post b/c I'm too busy thinking about the named "yuri scene"... something about the plot being good and something about Kikuri and something else about me liking the OP and something about how sad this is and something about my predictions for the series and ...stuff. Anyway, Perfect Episode; 6/5 ★★★★✶   |

| WHAT A FUCKING STUPID LITTLE BITCH!!! T__________T SHE WAS OVERREACTING WAY TOO MUCH!! COMPLAINING ABOUT MIDDLE SCHOOL, WAIT TILL SHE GOT TO HS OR COLLEGE! -________- HE WAS SUCH A NICE TEACHER!!! T___________T HE DIDNT DESERVE IT AT ALL!!! T____________T I WISH I HAD A TEACHER LIKE THAT! T_______________T |
| Nice beginning of the third season. suspense, mystery and impulsive decisions. I really want to know what happens next |
| Suppose I am in the minority here, but I wondered in season one how they would keep the concept fresh when they were just rehashing the same thing over and over (until the final episodes), then season 2 came and I came to the conclusion that rehashing was their goal. Well episode 1 from season 3 is an odd change of pace, it did not suit my personal tastes but at the very least it was different, but I do wonder how quickly this show will fall back into it's established "routine". |

| Quite interesting start of the new season with this first episode! Good that Ai is back and doing her usual business! A couple new characters have been added like the yellow doll/Yamawaro and Kikuri is also in it but now she's a doll in this season so it will be quite creepy! The bath scene was quite interesting, so now Ai lives inside that girl to have a body or just use that girl her power, quite confusing currently but I'm sure it will clear over time! Though it's quite interesting the girl Ai came in contact with can see what the dolls owner does, so that can be quite a big deal for the whole story! The transformation scene was also quite interesting, so she's a butterfly that will erupt every time a string is pulled so Ai can get her power out, or something like that. It was rather disturbing but interesting and than with the teacher was quite funny! Ai's new kimino is quite lovely too, though I still prefer the first one above all! To review this episode a bit, the teacher was quite having the hard love, he was acting like a dick but well still didn't think it was needed for him to be sent to hell as he actually didn't do anything wrong other than trying to scare the students! Both OP and ED where quite nice, Seems like this season will have a higher value given to a whole Story rather than individual story's! Great start of the new season I must say! I hope it will be as good as the second though with a bit more story telling I assume! |

| It's so funny, reading through this whole thread, on regards of a possible gay/yuri scene. I and like others, believe it was only a ritual, but to us viewer's, its a extra fan service. This season starts off differently from its predecessors, Ai looks more human, the way she tries to be cute and funny. Now to the episode itself. I can't say, I'm trill about a 4th doll to the cast, maybe because I'm bias against boys, than another girl. The student who cursed the teacher, I can understand her frustration, but she overdid with sending people to hell. A person life is precious and I hope this series emphasis it. The teacher on the other hand, he really needs a better approach at teaching. Kids at these ages, are sensitive to trivial matters and make it a big deal. NO more transformation scenes please! Takes up time. |
 |
| wtf did I just watch? magical girl jigoku shoujo? with a hint of yaoi and yuri + same old predictable plot? does not compute... |
 |
| LOL People have their Yaoi and Yuri goggles set way too high! As a big yuri fan, I was disappointed for that yuri kiss as I know it was a troll yuri. Haha! Well, it's still too early to tell, I guess. But I have a feeling that it's gonna be a. Aside from that kiss, after 400 years, I think Ai deserves a friend. I know Hone Onna and the gang were with her all along, but I think she needs a friend. But I think that will contradict to the "Thou shall not open your heart" thing. As for the Yaoi, it was hardly Yaoi. If you guys noticed, the naked boy was staring at Ren like he knew who Ren was. They definitely did a different take on the OP this season. |
 |
| I was very excited to say how awesome the season opener was but the first page ruined the mood. People stfu seriously. Especially the one who started the thread t-.-t |
  |
| This new season, I think, will be the best one so far. I love Ai's new yukata even in the back its tied to look like a piece of candy. This is going to be a great show time to sit back and enjoy. |
