Synopsis

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.

Type the name of your most despised adversary into a search box of a website that only appears at midnight--sharp--and condemn that person straight to Hell. No passing go, no $200 USD collection, no get-out-of-purgatory-free cards. This sounds marvelous, like a dream come true and a business model that would easily overtake Amazon, SpaceX, and Facebook combined, if not for one tiny caveat in the fine-print of this arrangement: by consigning your grievance's soul to Hell for eternity, you are also committing your own to Hell after you experience a natural death. Curses come home to roost after all, or so I've heard.

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 ...

'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.
