| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol dolls! I hate them. :( And wtf, that poor girl, treated like a doll. Even her husband treated her like a doll in the end. -_- |
| I liked Dolls growing up but how cruel.. to have no purpose but to sit silently and look beautiful.. and her looks are going to fade as she grows older. and thinking that her situation would change if she went to hell at the end, but it didn't! Oh well, at least her orphanage can stay safe. |

| I did find it kind of sad how at the end, really, nothing changed for her. The aspect of meaningless sacrifice was tragic. |
 ✾✾✾ if only we could be reborn ✾✾✾ |
| that really sucks 4 her!!! haha women r scary XD even though i am 1 X3 |
 |
| Oh well she deserves it to some extent. Her greed of wanting to be with Yukio prompted her to pull the string in the end. |
| With every episode, I get the feeling that Enma Ai actually doesn't want the people to use the doll. |

| Wow.This is probably the saddest episode yet, maybe only challenged by the dog episode. That old woman was nuts. Bitch be trippin' balls! Or in this case, dolls! |
| ...lol ... creepy family ... like mother ,like son ... |
| I feel sad for Inori nothing changed when she sends kyogetsu in hell :( |
| Lol fail. Her one stone can't knock down two birds ;p. Truly an eternal hell. |
| Poor woman. I don't even know what she saw in that Yukio guy. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Why are all the villians becoming more and more detestable? |

| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| whilst this episode was okay, it felt like i was back in the first 8 episodes again.... I dont expect something to happen EVERY single episode, but the reporter usually gets more involved (despite him constantly failing) meh... all i can do now is carry on till the end |
| i was sure the woman would attempt to take out the girl's eyes and put them into the doll or some other fucked up shit similar to that, lol. guess not. |
| if we die we'll meet again in valhalla... |
| Wow... I feel so sorry for Inori :( Indeed it doesn't seem to guarantee a good end even if the source of grievance is sent to hell... Just like Karasuchan said, "like mother, like son"... v3catsxanime said: To be honest, he's been annoying me for a long time...but hajime is getting a little annoying, in my opinion -__- |

Pyr0 said: v3catsxanime said: To be honest, he's been annoying me for a long time...but hajime is getting a little annoying, in my opinion -__- That's interesting, because I think Hajime is one of the most understandable characters in the series. His quest is a noble one. |
| Quite the fucked up episode! |
 |

 |
| The ending quote "...like a living hell..." really sums up this episode. I like how the series is exploring the alternative endings after they pull the string. |
 |
| a strange episode but good one. I feel sad for the girl she made the deal knowing she would be sent to hell when she dies and thought if the mother is gone things would change but nothing changed now she is living a living hell and after she dies she will not find peace and still living a hell damn got to be the worsted thing to happen. ye I also noticed the eyes in this episode. |

| Well it was kind of obvious that the husband really didn't love her, or at least as a human anyway. At first when he told her that she should make breakfast and then the next day he sat there with his mother eat breakfast pretty much getting his wife in trouble and reveal his true intentions for her. The only thing i don't really get is like why does the mother AND the son have the same mental illness for dolls, is it like genetic or something? It's sad she kind of got screwed over in the end. :( |
| I seriously don't understand all of the Hajime hate. For me, he is doing the "right" thing. |
| I saw... that the husbands way of thinking was similar (or even the same) as his mothers. I knew that girl's problems wouldn't be solved so long as she stayed in that house. But I do feel bad, if she did leave the very people she cares for (the ones at the orphanage) would be out of house and home :( that sucks. Hajime didn't bother me this episode. He was right as always, and this was episode was a perfect example. Sending people to hell will not solve your problem. -_- Tsugumi is right too though. The people making these decisions, albeit they terrible ones, are fully aware of the consequences. |
 |
| Well, Hell before, Hell now, and Hell for eternity. How terrible. |
| A really memorable episode. The ending is so depressing. |
 |
| It's pretty sad that the girl was stupid enough to not figure out that husband didn't love her, but hopeful enough to be willing to suffer just to stop suffering for her short life. She should of just told the Sister and have Hajime actually be useful to help her get out. She was in a lose-lose situation anyways, so might as well not send your soul to Hell to suffer more. |

That is one of the reason why I don't like him. RMCLmaker said: How did she manage to contact hell girl in the middle of the day ? I thought the website only works at midnight... How did they even know about the site in the first place? random high school girls gossiping ftw |

| Enma is the most perfect doll, that's true. But this episode was exasperating. |
| "Me ni wa me wo, ha ni wa ha wo, aku ni wa aku wo." |
| seems like Ai is becoming a bit more persistent knowing that the reporter guy is always showing up wherever she's at! can't wait to see whats next! |
| JUST DIVORCE ALREADY, NIGGA!!!! That whole house doesn't see you as human. Just gtfo already if I was you, my dear Inori :/ |
Forgetfulness said: Pretty fucked up episode, especially because of the old lady. I wonder what the old lady was doing to the girl in the bathtub ._. Maybe I'm just not knowledgeable, but wasn't she trying to make her lose weight? How would she accomplish that Pretty sure she was just dunking her head in the water and not allowing her to breathe, just her way of punishing her for disobeying. The way she was gonna make her lose weight was by putting her on a *special* diet as she mentioned during breakfast. But yeah this episode was pretty sad. I knew the husband would turn out to be just like his mother, it was rather dumb of her to not realize that. Kinda sucks she can't use the site twice :<. |

| Man I felt bad for that poor girl. Just as she thinks that she will be treated as a normal human being, she inadvertently makes her own life worse. What a cruel existence. Great episode! |
Nemesis_Andrmd said: I'd say that either goes to Rei from Evangelion or Yin from Darker Than Black though I will agree Enma is definitely one of my favorite stoic characters.Enma is the most perfect doll, that's true. But this episode was exasperating. |
| That expression on Ai's face at the end was breathtaking and depressing, as though her duties as Jigoku Shoujo pain her beyond words. |
 |
| Poor girl... |
| Pretty enjoyable episode and well structured (I also perceived a kind of metalinguistic). It had been a while since I was "involved" this way: "go to hell, you damned character!" lol |
| Well damn she's still suffering. Can you only use 1x Hell Girl? That's sad. |
 |
| That little plot twist in the end was perfect. The value of this anime is in the little details and fortunately they are easy to notice. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| That old lady was about 105 years old, about 4 feet tall and weighed 85 pounds tops. If the girl was willing to go to Hell to punish her, why didn't she just kick her ass? She would have the rest of her life to atone for this "sin" and earn her way to heaven. Seriously, she could've beat the holy tar-paper out of the old bat and been done with it. |

on 
| Just go and send her son to hell as well. |
