[Reviews] Jigoku Shoujo
Thursday, November 17th, 2005I know I didn’t say I was watching this, but I kinda forgot. Here’s some info and my personal take on it.
Title: Jigoku Shoujo (or Hell Girl)
Year: 2005
Total Episodes: 26
Categories: Horror, Serial (I mean really serial, you’ll see what I mean)
Fansubbed Version Watched: Ayu
Episodes I Watched So Far: 2
Available Episodes ATM: 2
The premise of the story is the existence of Hell’s Correspondence, which seems to be a revenge service that can be contacted through a website that can only be seen at 12 midnight. Anyone who wishes to get revenge only needs to type the ‘revengee’s (lol) name in.
But of course, nothing is free. By doing so, the person who requested the revenge will be sent to hell after death. So, in the mean time, you live your normal life. Kinda useful if there’s someone blackmailing you to death eh.

Personal Comments:
The first two episodes at least had zero connection. It seems that the series (at least in the beginning) is based on the concept of “1 episode, 1 revenge”. But it seems that we get a better look at the Hell Correspondence’s executor, a girl named Emma Ai, after each episode. So there is a plot. But, I would like to see some sort of twist arising from the later parts of the series.
