| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- In the words of M. Night Shyamalan (kind of): What a twist! Glad to finally see an episode without the same old plot as the first 6. |
 Higurashi: Retroactively asserting why scary and cute sound so similar in Japanese. |
| Nice twist. But I really wanted to see what they would have done if that Ayaka girl did pull the string first. |
 |
| Wow, it was refreshing to finally see something different. I couldn't help but feel sorry for Ayaka though; she was actually a believable character. Probably the most realistic I've seen on the show so far. Not everyone is a sinless victim. I was a little sad to see her ferried to hell. |
| From what I've seen so far they decline the request if they don't believe the request is worthy of being sent to hell. This ep was pretty cool though. I thought something was gonna happen to Ayaka, but wasn't sure how it was gonna play out. |
  |
| I really loved this episode. Liked the little plot twist too. |
 |
| Lol motherfucker, that Ayaka got owned by that tv actress girl! Didn't see that coming. I thought Ayaka would pull the string, but she was too late because that actress got to it first lolololo. |
| The twist threw me, thought it was a great episode, I enjoyed it a lot. |
 ✾✾✾ if only we could be reborn ✾✾✾ |

I felt sorry for Ayaka even though she shouldn't have done that to that other girl... But what happens If someone actually regrets what they've done...?Oo |
deadoptimist said: Though I think shit-flinging should also have standards - no personal, no behind the scenes. |
| That was surprising. To think that the string was pulled by someone esle. |
| wow it must suck to have the table turned on her i REALLY wasnt expecting that... |
 |
| finally other script, great < 3 |
| I was wondering if Ayaka would be able to confess her sins during her questioning, I know I would have. She knew the consequences better than the ones before her due to the circumstances so she should have tried to really repent. Kauroko is the real victim in all of this and it's a shame she had to pay the ultimate price. Kurenai seemed pretty straight up as well so I guess it figures that she would be defended in a way by Ai's group. |
 |
| Ayaka got upped by the other girl eh? What a twist! |
| Great episode. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| So in the end even if you can take revenge , that doesn't mean others can't !XD |
| Wish Ayaka cudve gone to hell without that girl paying the price. The madam was never rly horrible to begin with, just straight with her business. |
 |
 What did they make the actress girl drink?...i can't think of anything that would make you lose your voice but not kill/hospitalise you. |
 |
| didnt expext a twist |
| Nice twist. :) |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| It seems some people feel sorry for Ayaka.... I don't, I dislike selfish people like her, she did not even seem to hold any real regret for what she did in the end, nearly everything she did was just an act to satisfy herself even if it meant hurting others in the process. I was expecting a twist since I assumed the producers would want to avoid a constant monotony, I am glad the twist was rather unpredictable, it motivates me to see more episodes. |
| 5/5 best episode so far |
| Signature: |
| Wow this episode was finally something different! More like this! :D I'm also curious to know what they'd have done if the girl had pulled the string earlier And what's the deal with admitting your crimes? Would they really have not taken her to hell? Or is it case-specific whether admitting the crimes equals forgiving or not? Looking forward to more episodes with twists like these :) |

Annisa said: Nice twist. But I really wanted to see what they would have done if that Ayaka girl did pull the string first. I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure we'll see someone else "unworthy" try to pull the string in a later episode. |
| Nice episode but what a bitchy main character! I though something like that would happen or at least that the hell girl didn't allowed her to proceed with her request! |
 |
| Best episode so far, what a twist. |
 |
| Ayaka was a very real intelligent character, the first of this show. I hope future episodes will deliver such a twist. Regarding her sentence to hell, I felt bias, maybe because she is still a child, but I wonder if she was truly truthful about repenting her sins, would the four allow her to live? My assumption is yes. Recently the four has investigate their request's before making the final decision. Felt bad for the mother too, but she should of talk to Ayaka on why the harsh treatment, instead of doing it without words. |
 |
| Finally a different episode. The previous 6 were all the same thing. |
"Nobody knows what the future holds. That's why its potential is infinite"- Rintarou Okabe |
| when she let this guys force down the drink trough her throat I just knew this actress would make a deal to kill her and second time some one was kinda laughing while she did go to hell cool episode. like some others also I wonder what will happen when some one actually admit there sins at first I thought it would not save them but sometimes they refuse requests as well cause they think not worthy so I can't stop wonder what would happen and if they saved is the one who made the deal saved as well or would that person still go to hell when they die that would suck. for sure this will be in a later episode. |
| "When a flat-chested loli hugs you, she holds you closer to her heart" "--I am a single bullet. It has no heart. Therefore, it does not think. It just flies straight towards its target."  |
| Finally a plot twist! 5/5 |
| Finally, a break in the usual formula! Too bad that execution lacked...is it really worth going to hell just because you have lost your voice and dream? One of the previous victims for example was in a life or death situation (kinda forced her into making the deal, that still irks me to this day). The focus of this whole franchise is the psychology that allows someone to bear eternal punishment for granting "revenge", but the episode focused on this other plot. Anyway, I'm hoping we'll see more variation, for example someone realizing that eternal damnation isn't worth it and refuses the deal, or a cursed person admitting their sins, this episode especially seemed to imply that it would maybe save them from hell or something. 3/5. |
| That was actually a really interesting episode. I'm impressed. |
| Watching the past episodes must have fixed my mindset on the story.. normally I'd see this twist coming. I never knew Ayaka's true self was that evil.. otherwise I'd sympathize with her the harsh moments. The feeling of all the hard work going to waste is quite common among most of us. It's sad for the mum.. she shouldn't be that strict. I'm looking forward to someone using hell link for murder.. lol. ;) |
| Eh, kind of stupid, they need the "Jigoku Shoujo" for every little thing now. |

| Nice twist :) |
| Honestly I saw that twist coming right when the main chick hired those guys to mess with the mother, it was just really obvious she would be the one getting sent to hell after that. I still wish she would have sent the mother to hell though, she was a real bitch. |

| HOLY FUCK THAT PLOT TWIST! Wow was not expecting the MC of the week to get sent to hell. Man this episode fucking 1-Up'd the last one. |

| Right as I consider dropping the show, this happens. Man when that chick grabbed the doll and it was a regular straw one I was like "oh.....ohhhhh.....oh shiiiiit!" I feel so bad for that other actress though, absolutely nothing improved for her. |
 |
| Best episode yet! Ayaka was awful! |
| Loved the change up this episode although this episode did pose me with more questions. :) Firstly, I love Ayaka's seiyuu! Mion/Shion.♥ But anyways, I did not feel bad for Ayaka at all to get the one way ticket to Hell. She did not seem to regret the things she did and she seemed extremely selfish and deceitful. I mean she pretty much said she will do anything to have her way. At first I was upset how Kurenai was treating her-- but the harsh instruction isn't something to send someone to Hell for. -.- I felt bad that the actress had to give her soul to send Ayaka. She is the victim in all this and I am sad for her. Now this shows that Hell Girl & gang DO put some thought or investigation in who summons them. I really want to know if the actress hadn't pulled the string on Ayaka if she would have still been able to pull the string or because of her actions, Hell Girl would not allow that to happen? Oh boy! And the old man said something along the lines of "if you don't regret, you'll go to Hell." Something like that. So is that implying if she did truly feel sorry would she NOT go to Hell? And I wonder if those people who give up their souls are still destined to go if said person does confess and feel bad. Questions, questions... I hope we get the answers someday! |
| lol Mion/Shion/Kagome's voice. That was a nice twist for a change. I wonder what would happen if a person in a wrong pulled the string like Ayaka was about to do. |
| That's interesting. Didn't expect the twist. I was pretty sure the mother will be sent to hell, glad I was wrong. Ai in her winter outfit is cute! |
 |
| I found it weird the mother wasn't traumatized at all to the break-in and was instantly inquisitive to the daughter. I get the daughter is supposed to be bad at acting, but I also found it ironic that she must've been good at acting to fool 4 devils for a while til they changed their mind about her. I also find it strange that it seems these devils are working towards some sort-of justice in their actions, while they're still heavily screwing over both parties. If the devils didn't constantly work with moody teens, they'd likely have their deal rejected by many sensible people. I also found it strange that the mother got really emotional in the last moment out of no-where. She was willing to walk away entirely just moments before tearing up. It'd have been more interesting if she was toying with the daughter with actual "good" acting to get her to tell the truth more openly, but nope. Overall, meh episode. Episode 6 is the most interesting so far, but all are way too melodramatic for my tastes. But I continue in hopes an actual story will arise. |
