| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So far so good, not really a 26 episode series plot, and 2 more seasons, I don't se it. Glad to see the girl get it though. And solid dub. |
| My anime list |
| I wasn't sure what to expect, but this wasn't it. I say that in a totally awesome way. The trippy atmosphere before that girl was sent to hell in the school was awesome. |
 Higurashi: Retroactively asserting why scary and cute sound so similar in Japanese. |
| the character Enma Ai is better than the entire show |
strangeone94 said: I like Ai, she's so cute and disturbing! Second that ;) |
| Wow, some animes I can watch one or two episodes to know if I like it or not. It's completely dark in my house except for my monitor and its lightning and stormy outside. I am hooked already >= ) |
| "One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it." Oogway |
| Very nice. I like Enma Ai from the start. Loved those delusional magic tricks made by her and her "friends from hell". Poor Harushinamama (forgot her name) because she's going to hell when she die. :( |
| like it so far. Hope it'll stay understandible |
| I felt sad for Mayumi. |
     |
| A very good start. I hope the next episodes will be as good as this one. |
 |
| Well technically she was stupid to leave money unattended. Oh well. She's going to hell anyways so whatever. I like the concept. |
| Nice episode although I don't really like it when it starts off on characters we won't ever see in again just to introduce the main characters. But it was overall nice, and I love the trippyness that happened before she was sent to hell. |
| Poor Hashimoto. I feel bad for her. |
| I really liked the concept. Execution could have been a bit better. I wanted that other girl to suffer a bit more. |
XxMalcolm said: controlmajortom said: I really liked the concept. Execution could have been a bit better. I wanted that other girl to suffer a bit more. Yah cause I mean going to hell for eternity just is not enough suffering. wtf? I meant I wanted them to show more of it. -.- How do I say this, I wasn't satisfied with the amount of torture they showed? |
| Honestly, I wasn't really that impressed. I guess I'll keep going, though. |

| Emma ai is terrible . But this show rocks . . . |
| Glad to see the bitch getting what she deserved. |
| That bulling girl got soooo much on my nerves! Damn, I agree with someone that said she wasn't tortured enough. And I don't think she will ever understand all the wrongs she did! That should be the point anyway, not just taking them to Hell, cause the most strict judge in the end is none other but ourselves. The show is great so far, love the haunting and more mature atmosphere. Better than I had expected! 5/5 |

| Suppose it was okay so far. Art looks pretty yucky (Hell Girl excluded) and the premise wasn't that original but it looks like the story doesn't revolve around Mayumi at all so, guess I'll keep watching for now. |
 |
| this show is interesting |
| Ai Enma is beautiful, but damn is she scary!! That Aya bitch deserved worse that a trip to hell. She was just evil for no damn reason!! It's a shame Mayumi had to make such a deal just to have some peace in her life. |
 |
| Watched this ages ago. I loved this show. :) |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Freaky. I love it. |
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked. |
| Beautiful animation with Ai. She looked amazing in the kimono with those beautiful flowers. As far as the story goes, I'm not too eccentric about the fact that the story is featured as individual episodes. Leaving the story element behind. However, it's better to press on then to take everything as it is to heart, Looking forward to the next! |
| It was alright. Not a big fan of the art, but Hell Girl looks pretty good though. Episode was meh and I wasn't creeped out at all, but the trippy school scene was cool. May continue this, but the preview makes it seem like it's episodic. Not a big fan of episodic anime. |
| pretty interesting show... |
| This looks pretty interesting. Just a theory; are the candles at the end the length of the person's lifespan? The drip of wax fell down, so it was slowly dwindling. Perhaps when the candle goes out and is very small, the person that first initiated the contracted dies. asdhaskdhnafs Episode 2 now. |
| |ω・) |
| I've heard lots of good words of this show and thought to give it a try. After the first episode I'm already pretty certain I'll at least like it, if not love it :) |
 |
| I love collections of individual short stories that are bound by a single concept or premise, with each story telling of how characters of different backgrounds, manners, and circumstances respond to it. 78 episodes is a long way to go, but I'm sure at least 78 people need the object of their grudges sent to Hell. I don't even think Deen animation can ruin this show. |
| I definitely like it , and I'm so glad that the bitch got what she deserved . |
 |
| I hope you guys can answer a few questions of mine, regarding the series so far. 1. The part where the bully girl was ask, if she admits her wrong doing. What if she did? Would the sentences to hell cease? (change her way etc...) 2. Did poor Mayumi had sex? The rumor that she was wandering the street before the picture, really confuse me. Regarding the episode, its bit twisted. I feel bad for Mayumi, I hope she live her life to the fullest while alive. |
 |
| Wow, Enma Ai and Sadako/Sawako (Kimi ni Todoke) have the same voice actress, great, how am I supposed to feel creeped out by Ai now? |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Dragon's Dogma 2 again when you read this |
| 2minutes in and I was already rage, but I liked how it ended, a happy ending (If you consider that one) :D Day2Dream said: Well technically she was stupid to leave money unattended. I like the concept. I was thinking "Are you freaking stupid for keeping a huge sum of money like that?". I like the concept too. |

| so after a 2 year anime hiatus...i decided to make my comeback with Jigoku Shoujo...so far I loved the 1st episode,but hopefully it won't be repetitive :p |

| That Mayumi.. she's not really assertive enough or smart enough to get herself out of her situation by herself.. but she's pretty gutsy and strong for not going into an emotional breakdown/rampant at the bullys...also sticking up to her limits was pretty good- showed she ain't in complete control of that b!*^! Honestly I respect her for that - I think most people would have flipped and got themselves in more trouble than she was in.. I wonder if she's really going into hell or will something unexpected happen.. it'd be nice to see her progress to a better turn.. |
| sexual incest in nisomonogatari - no one bats an eye romance incest in SAO - everyone loses their minds |
| I hate that Mayumi just as much as those bullying girls. She is just too stupid. None of those suffering would have happen if she just admits she lost the money. Still liked it though. |
 |
| I don't know if I should say it is exactly as I thought it would be but it certainly is good this feeling you get while watching is amazing at least for me that goes but ye this is only episode 1 lets see if they can keep it up. |
| "When a flat-chested loli hugs you, she holds you closer to her heart" "--I am a single bullet. It has no heart. Therefore, it does not think. It just flies straight towards its target."  |
| That bitch has the looks but die you heartless insect. My my.. she pushed Mayumi to the point of suicide. She's still in middle school can't blame her timid nature.. kids are like this in the past It's not in the 21st century where elementary kids have iphones and androids. Enma Ai.. you cute little thing.. I'm going to enjoy marathoning this 3 seasons. |
| Eh... that was kinda boring. I feel like they could have made Kurano Aya more malicious. I think that would've made a better impact on the audience, especially for a first episode. |
 |
| Good first episode! This looks pretty interesting. |
