----------------------------------------
MAL was down yesterday, so I forgot to post it. Anyways, episode 22 wasn't very impressive. We seemed to have some minor plot advancement in the beginning between Tsugumi and Yuzuki. The rest of the episode was just blah. Something about twins hating each other (didn't we already have one of this in season one?). Good twin gets abused by bad twin; ultimately, good twin turns bad. One of the twins was sent to hell. End of episode.

What's depressing is that from the preview, the next episode is still another random episode... the series is almost ending! When will we get to the climax? :<

Oh well, as long as Tsugumi keeps appearing and stays alive, I'll be happy.

I was confused who was sent to Hell at first. @_@

By that dress, it was the fake that was sent... but I'm worried how nobody would even care that her mark was so visible...

I guess a shadow should stay a shadow, but really how can you send your sister and your twin to boot to hell like that? That's so stupid!

Hum, I think that the point of the episode was precisely to prove that sending people to Hell is absurd either way since everyone has a grudge against someone and it's an absolutely ridiculous way to deal with problems. If no one does anything against Jigoku Tsushin, it may as well be the end of humanity (that's why rules exist in most societies and people can't just kill someone even if one has good reasons to do so). That's why the twin sisters were almost identical on everything, the death of either of them means the death of the other at the same time (symbolically speaking, as in a suicide I mean). And I don't think the mystery has been resolved in the ending scene since the candle doesn't indicate which of the sisters was sent to Hell and the woman at the ceremony had her arm at the precise place where the mark was supposed to be visible so we have no mean to know which of the two it actually is.

The plot in this ep. make me think of one short-story I read 2-3 years ago. But in that story the shadowy one actually succeeded in impersonating another one. Twin Motif (Just don't mention green-haired in Higurashi) is too overused so that JSM tried to make the ep. end with the mystery unveiled...to make it fresh new...but DO NOT WORK!

Anyone think that mark looked like a Satanic Star? The twins, well all started because one of them decided to get what the other had. Ended up that Tamano or whatever caused to have sex with the other. Other was probably virgin so he chose her as responsible. Other got jealous so me think is Sumika who went to hell.

Another good proof that money + fame = jealousy in family sometimes.

I liked this episode. Lately the episodes are better. It was interesting seeing those twins and making even us confused on who is who and showing the last of people for success and recognition.
I also liked the fact that they show slowly the strangle of Yuzuki.

Am still confused on who is the one that was sent to hell. But i think it has to be the more wild sister.

Ooo...that makes sense! o.O smartness! lol. Well I hope it was the 'real' one since the 'fake' one was nicer =P

I think the ending of this episode is left for interpretation, for you to decide how it ended. That's why we weren't reveiled the identity of the sender and the victim.

"more wild sister"? lol which

i want yuika to be send to hell rather than sumika.Bitch should be sent to hell

I can't tell which one is who. I don't even know who got sent to hell.

But, in the ending, I didn't see the mark so probably the real actress was the one who pulled the string and the fake one was the one who got sent to hell.
