I thought the plot for this episode was excellent.
The characters were also quite good. I still enjoy the emotion that Ai has in her voice now.
(Yes Ren is hot.)
Although I think overall the four of them are being wayyy more emotional then in the first season. Just a bit too much.

The sign on her chest is Hell Girl's marking. A reminder that she is marked down to be sent to hell once she dies.

If you read the storyline, this season is based on the dolls more than Ai.

imo, Ren's way of exacting revenge was better than the women's (forgot her name at the moment.)

I have a feeling they're just gonna take turns, so hopefully the old guy's gonna do his part again! =)

I wish Ai would wear season 1's kimono thouhg...this one's still too flashy...

Good episode.... but they didn't have like 2 episodes of the character thinking it over or w/e.... Fairly short arc =/

On to the next episode =D

Indeed he is...

and I love the fact that they focus on the other's background, since Ai got her screen time in the last season :3

(That makes me wonder what they'll do in season 3)

Nice, this season has more emotions than the first season. Good to see some changes in delivering the punishment.

But yeah, I also prefer Ai's season 1 dress.

What was with Ren following the girl around. He seemed sad. Idk if anyone caught this but I saw a quick seen of a girl holding a sword...? Something seemed up with Ren.

You have to admit, they are pretty creative in exacting the revenge.
Anyway it's kinda sad that Sumire asked that of her sister. In a way, she's punishing Yayoi.

@ Atrophaneurae & -kassy-
I've been wondering about that too, maybe it was somebody she knew? I liked the episode, they're focussing on the helpers and I'm kinda curious what their story is, if I remember correct Ren (or the woman) said something that if it weren't for Hell Girl they would've been in Hell... Makes me wonder why they're not :O

I liked Ren right from the start, from the episode with the stalker who turned out to be the police guy or something :P Great to see some char development ^^

what i really liked about this show is the depiction emulating the cruel reality that we don't see, shedding light on the fact that sick, sadistic fcks like this guy walk the earth and do shit like this and then some... it's disturbing on so many levels.

it's an eye-opener and it reminds to me to be wary everyday.

First episode that included rape and murder. There two things, that bugged me. First was the lame torture of the offender and second, the dead girl ask specifically for her sister to request for hell girl. Its sad, but it kind of depends on the interpreter. The sister believe her dead sister, wanted her to pay as well.

The dolls are rotating roles and have more depth than season 1. It seem to focus on them and their possible back story.

agree with everyone in that the characters are all showing more emotion, not sure about that....

but do like how there focusing on the dolls and not just Enma seen as though it was all her last season, so this could be interesting if they go with it

I did notice that as well. They'll probably show it in his back story.

I feel like their punishments are getting a bit less violent, but I do like how Ai is getting more involved it them. She also has a bigger wardrobe that way like first episode Ai as "sensei." Wich is really good because the sailor uniform was getting old.

you know what would actually make this episode 5/5... is if one of enmas companions actually told her where her sister is (at the bottom of the lake) that would of been a more heart warming ending, instead of watching them suffer even more.

Ren made me so fucking moist this episode.

did u forget the scene where she went in to the water? in the water she created stronger link with her sister & she showed her vision of that guy, u know there is belief about mirrors being doors to spirit world there is a similar belief about water to, but its not about water being a door, its about water being a good conductor for spiritual energy so if ur in water spirit can contact u from longer distance & if u already have connection & u both are in water the connection becomes stronger, well that the belief at least & this beliefs are added in that type of anime's

when it comes to why didn't she tells her parents that she is dead, well one she didn't want to crush their hope, second they would not believe, would u parents belive u when u say u heard ur sisters voice & it asked me to avenge her? no they wouldn't, they would send u to insane-asylum & if ur parents are religious then to a exorcist

I'm gonna miss Sakasama no Chou but I love the new OP. I'm glad there were a lot of unique aspects of this episode like the scene leading up to the guy getting sent to hell. I feel this episode gave us more of a dive into the characters surrounding Ai and I feel the previous one did too, it's nice they're getting some more development and I'm hoping we get a chance to see why Ai chose them in particular to be her partners in the future. They all really do care about the people they're helping and come off as genuinely caring people, it's a shame their role (assumingly?) forces them to take action against those they don't want to hurt, like the nurse in episode 24 of the previous season.

This episode was probably the cheesiest one I've ever seen. From the alerting, to the fact that she got revenge without even knowing the guy's name. It was straight up superficial.
The whole punishment thing was hilarious though. They unironically pulled a theater.
