I will be honest and blunt here season 4 of Jigoku Shoujo is a waste of time and it’s not like the previous 3 seasons that had an actual story and character development.The lack of originality is missing, the poor writing is all over the place and the enjoyment is zero.Also if you are wondering if this has any connection with the previous season you are wrong, it has nothing to do with the whole series at all it’s just a 12 episode cour waste of money and time.
The first 6 episodes are just cheap drama that turns into edgy stuff and it

Highly uninspirational, Jigoku Shoujo: Yoi no Togi still suffers from it's predecessor's mistakes, with a lot of terrible writing, horrible character designs, and uninteresting situations.
I have seen people saying it has a lot of "dark and twisted" themes going on, but I can only see how bad the writers want their characters to be bad. We still get the "bullied schoolgirl "episode we see every season, the "all friendship carries hatery" staple and of course "bad people do bad things" special. I don't think this counts as an spoiler because you know this is going to happen in every episode, but I particullary hate the ... Aug 11, 2017
There is nothing I hate more than an anime failing to accomplish its main goal.
In Jigoku shoujo's case, it's showing the dark side of humans, filled with greed, resentment, jealousy, violence, etc. But it fails Horribly. Let me repeat, HORRIBLY. No single character is realistic. To the average eye, it may look like the characters are dark and filled with personalities to explore. But in reality, the writers are just lazy. They try to make the characters as bad and pathetic as possible, but they completely forget the main thing that makes a character interesting, motivation. The characters in the anime have no motivation for their ... Aug 25, 2017
Hell Girl is one of my favourite series. I have watched it for 3 seasons despite others' criticism towards its tendency to repeat its own plot. However, season 4 is a disgrace and has brought shame to this show which has so much potential.
SPOILER (but not really since they just copy paste) The season began with the concept which is copy pasted from season 3, where another girl with hatred lost her memory from her previous life and was now forced to be the next Hell Girl to atone for her sin. Fine, whatevs, I thought I should give it a chance - it may take ... Aug 28, 2017
As someone who absolutely LOVES the Hell Girl/Jigoku Shoujo series, it honestly pains me to write this. I am choosing to write this, however, because I want to be honest with people before they waste their time.
If you've watched the other 3 seasons you know the formula of this series. It can be tedious and redundant, but it has its charm in the end. I even enjoyed most of mitsuganae (season 3) despite the criticism it received. The final arc of each season was always what made the series worth watching in my opinion. Upon finding out a 4th season was coming out, I was absolutely ... Aug 23, 2017
This review is written after watching the first 6 episodes (the second 6 are all recap).
Wow, what a disappointment! I have always loved the various Hell Girl anime series. They're almost all episodic, to the point that you can pick up anywhere. The characters are usually personable, making you want to learn more about what makes them so horrible. The Hell Girl crew is enjoyable to watch as they seem so worn about what they've seen in the world. The animation is usually big eyed creep fest, plus beautiful florals. Add in thematic and atmospheric music. Sounds great, right? Well, throw all that out ... Oct 3, 2017
First things first, I write this review out of mere spite and am thoroughly disappointed with this season, so I'm going to be brief. Six episodes of the fourth season of Hell Girl are completely new and in every way a "Hell Girl" worthy episode. The last six on the other hand, are RECAPS from seasons 1, 2, and 3. Except for short 2-3 minute skits in the beginning of each episode, the episodes that follow that are copy and pasted from early seasons and are not worth watching. I have a very good memory and I can say with confidence that these episodes are
