but maybe the other woman was just too shy to talk to her... she said the cat was her only friend, maybe she wasn't used to talk to people... that's why she started banging on the wall... Okay, I admit, she was probably mental, but she didn't deserve being sent to hell anyway.
And now about the plot... At first I thought "oh my, this is really stupid episode" but in the end, when there were pictures of "Mii"/"Muru" everywhere in the other woman's apartment, I must admit I cried... ^.^ But I am cat-obsessed, that may be the reason. xD

When i saw the numerous pictures of the cat all around that woman's wall it actually creeped me out. What a weird obsessed person who obviously needed some mental help. Although I did like how the twist unfolded in the end. I see why people praise this as a step above the previous series.

Couldn't they have shared the cat!?
Though I did weep for like three minutes, when I saw the bag because I thought that was the cat.
The pictures of the cat all in her room were kinda creepy...O.o; She needed a good hug.
I am very much cat-obssessed, too! >.>; So this was difficult for me to watch fully.

Wtf, so the cat was alive afterall? I thought that girl was just seeing hallucinations, that's all. Didn't think the cat being exactly alive.

So, another episode where a person got sent to hell because of stupid things. :(

AHHH i did too! i don't know why... i feel so bad for that lady. i wished amagi would have taken the hint and went to talk to her. so much could have been solved if they just talked to one another.

I wish they would make better episodes. I really liked the one from the first season about the circus twins. It also seems like the characters are getting involved more with the actual client.

Same for me!
I don't understand why so many people are complaining about the fact that most of the times the persons sent to hell didn't deserve it: Ai said it herself, she does not bring justice! :)

And that's what I like about this anime.
Moreover, I like the fact that they could have solved the problem by talking, but just didn't. :)

...And the way they showed Kyoko-san how her "victim" felt xas great...though I have to admit I was a bit confused about why we only saw Ai's team, until the end...

It's not right to say "somebody deserved to be send to Hell" (about the episodes in the first season) and to say this womand didn't "deserved it" cauz I totally can understand Shizuko's feelings... It would be freakin scary if you get those silent calls (especially when u live alone), you don't know what you've done wrong, to hear somebody beating on the walls and to know the culprit is your neighbor.. I would've gone crazy if I were her...

For the other woman was the cat her "everything" just like for somebdoy else her lover/husband/parents/best friend. It sounds a bit.. "weak".. to say she got send to Hell cauz of a cat but if u think about it it's nothing less then about a husband who cheated on the wife or something like that... The anime is about people who are in trouble or lost somebody who was dear to them (most of the time it is) and yeah, well, in this case it was about a cat...

The stories in the second season are different from the first season but they're both good, these show that not everything is what they look like while the first season focussed more on hate and revenge... It's a great anime if u ask me, it shows that not everybody who is "bad" is as bad as you thought they were...

Did somebody understood the role Ren was playing this time? Her friend? Her boyfriend? Doesn't matter that much, I'm happy enough with the fact he got a lot more screentime ^^

WELL THAT WAS JUST STUPID. Damn you, poor communication!!

Argh, I totally expected the cat to be beaten and bloody during the episode (wincing because I'm a cat lover too), but I liked the twist on it. Damn it, it annoys the hell out of me when people just can't express their feelings and instead hassle each other like that, argh!! And getting sent to hell all because of poor communication and a cat!

This crossed my mind too, but I'm guessing he just played a friend to her to observe her and get close to the situation. He visited frequently but it's not like they were close, just casual chatting, or maybe posing as one of the more friendly tenants. But I agree, more Ren is awesome. :)

I believe that what we see in this episode are Kyouko reliving the events of the Amagi girl AFTER Amagi pulled the string. This explains Ren being involved in the scenario from the beginning and the delivery girl being Ai.

Man, I feel like these poor people are being scammed into making a contract to go to hell. I mean, they all knew that lady didn't kill the cat. Yet, they just let Amagi pull the string. These episodes are getting more and more disturbing. It's like dropping an atom bomb with out negotiating to reconcile any differences.

Thank you for clearing it up. Almost forgot the episode started with her pulling the string.

Something about this episode just rubbed me the wrong way. The whole 'reliving' part was confusing and unnecessary.

I'm not sure why anyone thinks Amagi was in the wrong, though. "They could have just talked it out," could apply to Kyouko as well. A simple, "Hey, I have no friends, can I have my cat back?" would have sufficed.

Lol, I bet she regretted sending that woman to hell after realizing the cat was okay, and that the only thing she wanted was the cat back since it meant so much to her. [Too much, but still]

This is one of those scenarios where she really should have contacted the police or sued or something. Maybe then they could have talked about sharing the cat.

Even though the woman didn't actually kill the cat, the fact that she made the girl think she did was enough of a horrible thing.

I can see the fact that if there was an animal I loved that got taken away I would be upset, but I would also be willing to send someone to hell if they left a bag full of it at my door.

Well hmm that was rather interesting oO The ending was kinda freaky when she looked in to the mirror and than with all the cat pictures o_O

Well these things happen if you don't got any friends or family!

Great story though, though I didn't find it correct how the old woman reacted though still not good enough to be sent to hell for!

Actually feel bad for the woman... I know what it's like to feel lonely and have poor communication skills, I've been there. Worst time of my life, very depressing. I'm also a huge cat lover and my cat served as a good comforter =(

So sad that instead of trying to sort things out nicely, at least by sending a note and asking if she could return the cat, the lady started a freak show that lead to her death.

And I found all the photos to be cute. Yes it is a bit creepy but cat clearly didn't mind to have those photos taken. For a lonely person like her that was a real treasure.

This episode was mind-blowing, I could not understand the last scene, where the glasses girl switched place with the ugly lady, until I read this thread. It seem the woman experience's the glasses girl feelings and hate. A misunderstanding, that could of been solve by talking. What made this saddest for me, is that they could of been friends...

again, she didn't deserve to go to hell, if it was that bad, call the cops or get the fuck out of there simple, not send her to tell, granted that I would be deeply disturbed if I thought she had killed my cat who I loved dearly, I would want her in an institution or a cell..... the reasons behind them getting sent to hell are weak in this series, I'm enjoying it but not for the same reasons I enjoyed the first season.

It was... weird? I can't find any other word (maybe exept idiot). I still don't grasp the idea of neighbour who thinks, taht she is other woman when she, as herself, had had a reason to do all this things. So many questions...

For example, how idiot you have to be to "not think" about talking to other person before doing all this things?

What has Enma Ai thought? It was really worth revenge?

And... I feel sorry for this old woman. She cared about this cat, she loved it, it was her only friend... And because of it she was send to hell.

And (the last one, I promise) have you too noticed that they (I mean Ren, Wanyoudu- I've probably made a mistake here, but you know who I mean) are more IN this happenings? In first season they were only watchnig, now they're interacting.

But I agree- more Ren!!

Totally forgot that Amagi pulls the string on the woman at the beginning. I was confused during the punishment scene if that was Amagi or the woman.

I wonder how she felt after pulling the string on a woman who just wanted her cat back.

Didn't like this episode. It required you to think too hard to understand the neighbor's motives.
