Boogiepop Phantom and Jigoku Shoujo deal with people in extreme situations and mysterious entities with a dubious role within the narrative. BP's plot is extremely confusing, with episodes retelling the same event and doses of introspective speculation; while JS is considerably easier to follow, with a mostly episodic structure. They share a very dark mood and are pessimistic for the most part: these series are a window into insanity and its devastating effects; the supernatural elements are fully incorporated in acute human dilemmas.
Both have a very "paranormal" mysterious atmosphere to them, focused on death.
In a dark and gloomy world victims fall at the hands of a mysterious force. The atmosphere and the slowly unraveling story make Boogiepop and Hell Girl a fine recommendation for each other.
