I am surprised no one made a thread about this episode. It was great seeing Enma Ai show some emotion.

Sigh.. am I the only one to say this episode was made of complete failure?..
It was the most disgusting, mood ruining for the show.. fan-service peice of crap I've ever seen.. This episode has totally turned my view on how Jigoku Shoujo will actually be given the 10 I thought It was going to deserve.. Ai's character was completely turned around.. I liked her being a gloomy character,slowly showing some emotion.. but they Just did It too fast there.. and I don't know where to start with that fucking maid outfit.. as soon as he said " let me change you out of those clothes " I knew It was going to be headed towards there.. God.. and they tried so to make It Into a comedy and slight-ecchi If you didn't notice.. In which they also failed badly.. So help me Ai.. If I see another episode like this, I'm gonna cry..

I didn't really like this episode.. the only thing I liked was where the kid bit off more than he could chew at the beginning and they started wreaking havoc on the tv crew... spoiled right after by whatever those things were Enma Ai's helpers got stuck to. Really, her helpers powerless? come on

Just... Just awesome. After all he did to her, she was completely unscathed, and pwned him in one fell swoop. And the double-summon pose was made of win.
...Though I do call shenanigans on him being able to bind the two helpers, even if he DOES have the similar powers to Ai.
Just my two cents.

I wanna know who that little kid was, maybe he was a friend/helper who was sent to Hell or disappeared? I hope we'll get to know soon ^^
I'm curious if we'll see Gil back since he can come back from Hell? It's kinda creepy but I want an explonation why he can and others not :O And great to see Enma not reacting on her feelings, she's the "real" Hell girl (since Gil sends people to Hell cauz he don't like them)

Are people really saying things like "filler episode" and "being out of place" in an EPISODIC ANIME? If anything this episode moved some of the story along, it showed that Ai actually considers her actions. She could have destroyed that guy the instant he opposed her but she only acted when she was forced to, when the string was pulled.

oooookay, after that im espisode im now like WTF! on one hand yes it was intresting to see it come away from the usual routine of the show, and do something different (always new Ai was a badass) but on the other hand it was just so awkward and out of place, and Ai was even funny..... yes funny (the scene with the flute or whatever it was she was trying to play) so out of character, I like how she was just showing little hints of emotion here and there...

Think I may forget about this one.... *deletes from memory*

AWFUL EPISODE.

- Horrible "fight"
- Horrible character "I killed my parents, I escaped from hell and now I have superpowers" and with that cape he looked more retarded than the Esper.
- Horrible reason to pull the red string (Just because the kid proved that he was a fake esper? sigh...)



I don't care if this episode was supposed to be funny or it's just a filler, it failed hard...

I'm not really sure what to think of this episode, was it good or was it bad?
I'm really glad to see some development on Enma's character but the episode was pretty much all over the place and messed up..

this was an appalling episode, especially considering the quality of the episodes preceding it.

the kid with the cape looked ridiculous and ai getting thrashed around like a puppet looked ridiculous and awkward.

*sigh* i am just genuinely gonna have to forget this mess ever happened.

lolz okay, i'll agree the kid was random and stupid, the fight and ai getting thrown around was weird and meh, but i'm just glad something that seemed like a PLOT happened, even if it didn't make sense
oh yeah, i agree the helpers getting trapped so easily was kinda sad, i wanna see them do stuff too ;-;
i always welcome action in anime even if it's out of place :P

The only thing I didn't like in this episode was that the hammy actor condemned his soul for very little reason. It was obvious he didn't hate the guy that much yet the writers can't have an episode when someone doesn't pull the string. Because that's bad... or something.

It would of been more interesting if the actor didn't pull the string. The kid is just going to come back anyways.

I really hope so, because I like the idea of escaping from hell, this episode proved that it's possible, and imo is interesting.

SOMETHING INTERESTING HAPPENED! Call the JSDF! Unfortunately the execution was pretty bad, so I couldn't enjoy the episode to it's full extent, but still, they managed to thrown in something else than usual. "You mean again?" Hah, good one. 4/5.

From the preview it seems next week we are back to absolutely useless Reporter-kun trying to stop a hapless victim from a lolrandum evil guy. How exciting! I wonder if she will untie the thread like every single character these past 20 episodes! I can't contain my excitement and emotional investment...
