Hell Girl is all about a girl named Ai Enma, who has a mission to "release" hatred whoever summoned her. When the client summons her, she appears and explains how the revenge will work, and will give the client a straw doll that has a red string tied, and if the client unties it, the person he/she cursed will be sent to hell rightaway. However, he/she will be sent to hell as well, although it is after their death. When the cursed person is sent to hell, the client will have a tattoo in their chest, a mark that will prove they had a contract ... with Ai, and will be sent to hell after their death.

Each episode consist of different plot, revolving around the person who summoned her. Each episode is shown why Ai got summoned by that certain person, some of the stories are really tragic and heartbreaking, it can make you cry. I consider this more of a tragic drama rather than a horror really, cuz it somewhat lacks horrifying scene (well some parts are shown how they will suffer in Hell, but the preview is really not that horrifying).

The only drawback of this show is that there's a lot of mysteries that are left unanswered, and for 3 seasons, almost all of the episodes ended the same way-they always unties the red string of the straw doll. Well I guess that's really it is meant to be.

I watched this anime cuz I got intrigued by it's story, but there's really some parts I didn't understand or remained as a mystery, like, does the witches really was originally a human and only became a witch because of the certain organization? Like what happened to Kuroha during her childhood, she was supposed to be dead, is she got saved because Chisato turned her into a witch? Why did they created witches in the first place? Maybe this question will get answered when I read the manga, but because this anime caused me much confusion (or maybe I'm just really slow? lol) I don't ... know instead of convincing me to read the manga, it doesn't motivate me to do so unlike the others that I feel like I must read the manga to give me more content and to satisfy me more. I don't think I'll read its manga anytime soon.

ps. pls respect my review, it's only my opinion, and yours might differ.
