Summer 2017? Fuck, I need to watch the first 3 seasons quickly.


This isn't an anime for bingeing though.

OT. Wow this came out so long ago that most of the details are now fuzzy.

Holy crap, I can't believe it. I used to watch these shows almost 8 years back. A few weeks ago I was thinking "we'll probably never get a fourth season to this."

Looking forward to it.

I watched the first three seasons so long ago!!
Pretty good news tbh, I'm looking forward to some hopefully luscious art since even way back when, I always loved the art & character designs of Jigoku Shoujo!

It's the sort of anime that could practically go on forever so long as there are people who want some form of vengeance...plus as far as I remember, the ending of Mitsuganae was pretty open so another season would work fine.

I'm just so surprised!
Seems like it's just come out of left field...wonder what other good animu news we'll be getting?

Yeah, don't lose all hopes, Zero no Tsukaima, Bleach and ToAru fans!



Hope this is not shitty, like the majority of the third season, and instead, has the goodness of the first and second.

Well this came out of nowhere. Already saw all 3 seasons pre-2010 so this has me excited. I remember really liking the soundtrack, still have them in my smartphone.

Don't Forget FLCL, LOGTH remake, PeaceMaker, and Full Metal Panic also. And Shaman King was offered a Remake(even though it do to good for both anime and manga)...we might be getting more older stuff now?

But even then the series would be incomplete as Tanigawa doesn't want to write the closure to Haruhi LN. Personally, I'd love to see the anime adapt till the end of sasaki arc and then if Tanigawa releases a new novel, then Kyoani can make a movie out of it.

Damn might have to seriously watch this show now. It's the only somewhat famous Horror anime I haven't seen yet. Being a horror anime advocate I've always felt obliged to watch it anyway but that episode count was daunting.

You do now it'll takes at least 4 seasons of anime (possibly more) to catch up to the Sasaki arc right?
While I do agree your point is the best and what we really wanted Haruhi anime to be, it's like bitting more than we can chew. Almost 7 years of waiting is already hurt as it is, I'll take anything even 3 episode of ova as a new start, as long as there'll be more Haruhi.

There is no English dub industry, just a couple of leatherheads sitting in the back of a van behind Disney's back door exit sniping all the rejected auditioners to read lines into a cheap dictaphone for $20 and a bigmac.

Double confirmed that its airing this summer. Title of this season is ''Jigoku Shoujo Yoi no Togi''
It's going to be 12 episodes (of course) with 6 new episode and 6 "reminiscence" episodes.
The cast and staff will be back for it (yes, even Takahiro Omori who didnt direct the third season is back and Deen is still doing it)

Honestly, this snippet is better news than the fact that we're getting more Ai Enma.

Looking forward to Mamiko Noto reprising her role. Love her singing.

After that 3rd season, I'm not sure how to feel about this..

I still consider the 2nd season as the closure for the story. (Unless this will have "another" good closure, both the 3rd and the upcoming 4th season are non-canon to me)


So much this.
The 3rd season was not needed at all. Not looking forward to this as well, though if someone can theoretically reanimate the whole story and make another good season, it is Takahiro Omori. But this would be quite hard after S3.

Also, what's with this regionally blocked teaser?

I honestly have not been this hyped in a long time *about 3 seasons to be exact*

i agree that 3rd season came out of left field and wasnt as good as season 2 or as suspenseful as season 1 but i believe that season 2 needed a sequal so i hope that this season brings forth what im expecting

Whoa, I remembered watching the first season last year. I guess I should continue season 2 and 3 to prepare for season 4.

Damn, Deen made this? It looked pretty good on its first season for a 2005 anime. To think that this series will have a 4th season after 12 years since debut... what is this? Finding Dory? I can't believe an original anime actually gets a sequel after ~9 years since its last season.
