Middle school I'm guessing. Although I don't know...that's a bit young to be thinking having your first time on Hawaii O.o

I think they're going at the same pace as the last season tbh.

That Tae-pon is weird. I couldn't stand having someone as obsessive as that liking me.

Well I think she moved somewhere else and there lived a boy who looked like kei (although it wasn't him, of course, because real kei was dead. :D), and so she was happy... and it looks like she found new "object".

I think this episode was mostly sad. And weird, of course. But sad. I was feeling really sorry for tae until the other kei came... They shouldn't end it like this. But it's some kind of inner message often found in jigoku shoujo endings, something telling you that "people never learn" or something like that. But it's just my opinion and how I see it... :D

hey does anyone know if what Ai says before she drags someone down to hell is the same as the first season?

cause i can't figure out if its the different translator or if the anime staff wanted to mix things up a bit for the second season?

Really creepy episode...o.o
Tae-pon didn't have all her marbles or maybe she was that in love with Kei
>.> I don't know.
But, it was a really weird episode. Loved it all the same.

LoL /agreed. The girl was a bit off her rocker I think. Although it's understanfable that a relationship can change things between you and your friend, I think letting love pass you by as you try to fight against it can be an even worse idea. Take a chance in my opinion = )

and wtf, Kei-chan died from a window accident. Sucks eh?

i quite liked tae-pon! she was obsessive, but rather unselfish about it ... maybe she didn't love /him/ so much as his /company/, but i still found it weirdly romantic. i was inwardly screaming at her to open the window.

i think if she could have put aside her fears, they would have been great together. poor kei-chan... so sad!

This episode is ridiculous.
Aside from the fact that Tae is weird and downright creepy, I also disagree with her views on 'love'. I couldn't wait for the episode to be over.

Besides the fact that she was stalker-like, i sort of liked her character. Without really restricting his freedom she preserved even though he was in a relationship. Of course when she started freaking out about getting to close... =/

Was wondering about the end scene as well, which is why i came onto the old forum, but i guess a new Kei look-alike makes sense.

@ Doomsday_Yomi, it was real, she moved and her neighbour just looks like "her" Kei-chan.

I don't get it why she calls him -chan and why he calls her -pon? But that's prob just me :P I liked Kei-san a lot, his char was great and it's too bad he died :( and in such a awful way :( At least he realized his love for her... sad episode but good

I hated Tae and the fact she got a "new" Kei. Mostly it was a normal Jigoku Shoujo ep.

From the beginning of this season, I really enjoyed seeing more about the three "dolls".

Wait, what?
She moved into a house that looks just like her old one? With the same little side window close to her own? With a boy that looks almost exactly like Kei living next store? Well that's a bit too convenient...

Regardless of what everyone's saying I quite liked Tei! She was cute and very loyal, and straight forwardly honest to her affections. She just wanted to love him as a mother would, which is so rare these days!

I would call this episode romantic, too. Poor, poor kei-chan. When he died, I thought for a moment that tae-chan was going to curse herself. 5/5 I could date someone like tae-chan... I think such obsession is cute.

contrary to what most are saying about Tae, i feel that she was much more mature, for her age, about the way she handled her feelings and the determination to preserve the friendship which she holds dear. most would see it as being weird because normally one would act on their emotions instead of holing them up; instead Tae kept Kei at a freind zone distance which would seem incomprehensible for those who truly 'love' someone and to keep themselves from expressing that love. i respect that, but yes, it is quite sad to see it happen.

the only issue i have is how she responded to his feelings when he confessed... to completely shut him off didn't make sense since it would contradict what she was preventing in the first place.

That was retarded. It was practically her fault he died, so she sends the other girl to hell? Wtf.

And what are the odds she would move in next to someone who looks almost exactly like Kei-chan?

I think that they took the names of the characters straight out of Gantz. There is a girl and a boy named Tae and Kei too. Kei gets called Kei-chan there too xD

What weird episode we have, the victim is like a stalker. She very obsesses to maintain good relation with her childhood friend, enough to allow him to use her room to have sex with his girlfriend...

Personally I did not like Tae, but not to the extend of calling hell girl on her. The girlfriend was mean, but that didn't flag off "hell girl killing" for me, but we later found out, that she's a cheat. The boyfriend/childhood friend dies, because his hormones were acting up and wanted to release some on Tae, but fell between the buildings.

Tae moved to another area, but found a new toy to be obsesses about. Some poor sap, who looks bit like the old childhood friend...

The female doll was in contact with the mysteries loli.. O_O who is she

the ending was really sad, just because she was saying basically 'i don't want to ruin what we have and our friendship' and the way he leaned over and was just like ' pfft no like that would ever happen, please talk to me' and then she realised and opened the window, so so tragic, but yeah Tae was a little too weird for me and there is the obvious issue of their age but.....

all in all it is just a typical Jigoku episode really, I think I can tell already this episode is going to go the same as the first, but I don't really mind, i think i've grown more patient and non-caring since I watched the first season and I'm just going to sit back and enjoy some Enma :)

i kinda like her character. I guess her love for kei chan is platonic and she's very dedicated. Too bad she's too afraid to change their relationship. and poor Kei chan, that was an awful way to die.

strange episode and again a stupid reason to sent someone to hell. I wonder how Kei came a live again although the person above me has a pretty good explanation but it never is said she went crazy so i am not to sure about that.

at first tae creeped me out with all that stuff she said. but honestly by the end i think i find her to be incredibly sane more than anything. she views things differently, that doesnt make her wrong. in fact, id say shes more right. i like how her love for him goes further than being satisfied with dating that person. usually people just want others for themselves, but she really did operate in kei's best interest and in the interest of their relationship.

What a fucking loony. The point of contacting Hell Girl is to, at the very least, make your life on Earth better before an eternity in Hell. But she somehow made her life on Earth worse, too. Whoops.

oh what the heeeeccckk.... this episode was so sad.... like i know Tae seems creepy and all, but it sounds like she had genuine feelings for Kei and in the end was just to scared to ruin what they had which is understandable. But right when it seems she was coming around and opened the window... omgsh it was just too sad... the ending I think it's suggesting that she might've gone crazy? & like might start hallucinating or something.. but wow this was just a really good episode.

I also really like how they're showing Ai's helpers getting personally involved in these cases. I hope we'll be learning about their background stories soon.

Good episode. Tae really made me think of Gasai Yuno due to how overly protective she was of Kei. That crazy bitch had some really twisted logic. Nice to see Hone get some more screentime this episode. She's really beginning to grow on me. That punishment scene was brief but was really good!

Sorry for the super late reply.. Just watched Jigoku Shoujo because I was told that it was good (and true enough it didn't disappoint)!

Anyway, of course Kei-chan died and the one in the end was another "Kei" for Tae-pon because he looks like him.. (Of course, it's needless to say that this new "Kei" could've had another name and he's definitely another different person).. Yes she's that attached to Kei that it was a joy for her to be able to find a new "Kei" in her life..

Yeah it's weird but imo, it's kinda sweet because even after Kei died, Tae-pon still longed for him..

Firstly, why Enma didn't come to her, right when she made the call at the website? Did she have somithing better to do? And secondly, this wasn't as good as the previous ones.
