----------------------------------------
Well, raw is out on veoh. This episode is... different. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. From my very limited knowledge of Japanese, it seems like there's this girl obsessed with voodoo and can curse people. This other girl told her she has a stalker and wants to get rid of him... so she tells the girl to curse him. She couldn't, so she used Jigoku Shoujo to get rid of the stalker. I lol'd at how she pulled the string without even listening to what Enma Ai had to say. At the end... it turns out that man wasn't a stalker in the first place...

Ouch, sucks to be her. Anyways, I'm really hoping for Yuzuki to play a bigger role, but it seems like I won't get my wish for awhile, considering every main character in the previous seasons did not get a big role until the end of the series.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

I really wonder why enma took that request..
the girl(kokkuri chan) didn't really hate the guy.. so it shouldn't fit in the agreement.. or is enma that desperate to collect souls this time around??
and the girl is really stupid.. i thought she would've sent the girl who requested for her help to hell rather than the guy(it didnt seem like she knew the guy's name anyways).. that way, nobody would ask her to kill anyone else anymore, and the story about that would be sealed shut..
i sympathize with kokkuri a bit.. she just wants to be noticed, but i guess she shouldn't have tried that hard, and go as far as cursing ppl..
and now she's going to be a real witch, and might have to dirty her own hands to materialize her 'curses'.. ^^;;
yuzuki's school will really be hell on earth then >.< yuzuki ganbare!!!

Ok! O_O WTF?
That's my impression of Kokuri Inoa! Yeah the whole episode was about Kokuri and her black magic ways.

Well guess what the curses worked but that could be just Enma Ai or somethings of hers causing mischief but Enma Ai did not like her! No one noticed how she was behind her staring at one point and how Enma was staring at that gate thing made of wood Kokuri used for her rituals?

Basically she tricked Kokuri because her arrogance.

If it was me: a) Would get rid of snotty bi*** that was bugging her or just tell her use Jigoku Shoujo yourself! B) Just kill them both! Get rid of the person bugging afterwards if anyone finds out the truth. Either way THAT WAS STUPID! Plain and simple.

1. My name is "I want to please my friends and be known as the best when really they take advantage of me!" Seriously I feel pity for her and would have sent not to hell let's just say. Maybe the darkness but not hell. The pain for her ain't right but eternal dakrness. Muhahahhah! That might be it!


BTW
I Think I am going to cry big time next episode! T_T Youngest person to appear to use the service in this third season! Noooooooo Enma so cruel!

This was an interesting episode. I liked it a lot more than previous ones. It was different and notice how the fortune teller didn't even wait for Jigoku Shoujo to explain haha. Her cursing everyone was cool, but yeah, she was stupid. Maybe she'll go psycho and kill the bully girl too, eventually.

yeah, too bad most the episodes are kind of blah =/

hopefully it will pick up and get real good later and they are just holding the stories back for later, since its the 3rd season they would expect people to sit through bad episodes to get to better ones

Comments made while watching:

-As someone who has seen Ghost Hunt (good anime btw)...please please dont summon Korkiri-san (or however you spell it).

-I seriously dont think Honne Onna is worried about being cursed, especially not by "Gon-san"

-"Can you curse people?" Who do you think she is, Hell Girl?

-Hmm so Gon-San can get revenge without having the people go to hell..look like Ai has competition (yeah right).

-"Jigoku Shojo is seems like such a bother, the fortune teller is much faster." Oh its on.

-Ok seriously Akie, your not cursed, now stop being crazy (crazy like a fox :D)

-Look if you want killing go to Hell Correspondence, Gon-san just handles the small stuff.

-Ai is getting jealous.

-Princess Kikuri doing Ai's line ("Wont you try dying this once.") = priceless, not to mention the fact that she immediately rode away laughing on a tricycle after she said it. "Yay I got the lines right." ^_^

-That girl is stealing their business.

-Ok lets recap here, you are getting mad at a girl because she cant/wont kill a dude who is stalking you...yeah thats a perfect valid reason to get mad at someone.

-Look you have to learn to kill your own stalkers, I mean just look at Ami-chan from Toradora if you need an example.

-Yup thats right, Hell Correspondence is now available on your Verizon mobile phone...can you hear me now?

-Ai: Now look girl you and I need to have a little talk about competition in a free market economy...and Hone Onna please do not insult the customer.

-*Yuzuki wakes up seeing the girl with the doll* Yup she knows whats coming.

-"Look everyone I killed him." And that is called taking credit for someone else s work.

-Yup your going to hell because you sent some random guy to hell for a bitch.

Post episode comments:

Ah how the stupid suffer. Overall an ok episode and I really loved Kikuri's imitation of Ai's lines.

Verdict:

Do you even have to ask? We never even learn anything much about the poor guy that gets sent to hell, heck the girl didnt even know who he was (Im guessing that she was able to access the Hell Correspondence because she internalized the grudge which she believed the other girl had towards him). Of course Hell Correspondence is a one time deal so not only does the girl go to hell when she die, but she also proved nothing since she cant kill anyone else for her bitchy "friends" poetic justice in a way.

NOT GUILTY (victory to Phoenix Wright!)

I THOUGHT THE SAME THING! she just gave her a picture... so how did she suddenly know his name?!!?

silly episode, the fortune teller girl is obviously stupid for pulling that string. this is one of the few times that i don't feel sympathy for the puller.. cause she has it coming.

No I think she hated him because he was alive and if he was alive the girl will tell everyone not to be around her anymore, she didn't want that to happen but even thought she did everything he was still alive so she hated him or that is what I think. Not too hard to understand eps anymore....!! yay!!

Ai shouldn't have even taken the case. And she shouldn't have carried out the revenge, because the string was pulled before she even got to explain the terms of the contract.

Really, this is the best Mitsuganae episode so far. It could have been part of Futukamori or even Season 1(if the sending wasn't rushed that much). The fortune teller girl really did something stupid - I expected for the bitch to send her or the vice-versia but people does not seem to be very smart in Mitsuganae. The way this episode ended(the sending went waste because it didn't make any sense when she looked at it and this sending didn't even solved her problems at all) is totally in the spirit of Jigoku Shoujo. I was hoping for this anime to get better as episodes passes and it's becoming true episode by episode, let's hope it wont end up too bad.
By the way, I forgot to say it on last episode, so I'll say it now. I feel like the only reason I'm watching Mitsuganae is Yuzuki. She really seems like reliable favorite character to me, let's see what she'll go through.

One mess up episode! The victim was sent to hell, for being disgusting. Inao at first, did not dislike the victim, but she was trying so hard to kill him, that she muster up hatred for him. ROFL, what an irony. She lost her soul and now, she cannot ask for Emma service for that Nishino girl.

This has got to be the first truly enjoyable episode of season three for me.

It actually felt like I was watching Jigoku Shoujo, unlike the previous eight episodes.

I'm happy that Kikuri was actually creepy this episode. I was rather disappointed whenever she went from "super creepy psycho girl" in the second season to "pointless wind-up doll" in the third season.

I hope the rest of the season continues to improve from here.
Some parts of this post may be exaggerated.

Okay, since I forgot her name (Yuzuki), I searched for it and accidentally read the middle part of her description here on MAL. Darn, I got spoiled!

there is no name needed to use hell link if you saw season 1 and 2 it happened before for example with the stalker from season 1.

Good point, the first 2 seasons were filled with some pretty intense situations where the series had to spotlight their stories. Season 3 seemed to focus more on the main characters and providing that long-awaited backstory, than the characters who were sent to hell which in my mind took 2nd stage.

This episode was more enjoyable than the others just because it was entertaining watching how stupid the kokkuri girl was for getting so obsessed with trying to kill that "stalker" who turned out to be nothing more than a minor nuissance. Way to go bitch, you're going to hell too because you were too stupid to realize what you were doing.

Fuck yeah Onna for lampshading how stupid the contractors are in this show!

3.5/5

these kids are in middle school so of course these kids are going to have stupid reasons to send someone to hell. They are not thinking it through. Okay. Again Yuzuki needs to have a bigger role. At least she tried a little bit with telling her to stop cursing people, but she needs to try a little harder.

That Nishino makes me sick, what was the first episode she appeared in? Felt pretty sad for the other girl whose loneliness has driven her to the danger zone..

And is it just me, or were the protagonists responsible for bringing her "curses" to fruition? why were they involving themselves in a case that isn't related to Hell Girl? I often wondered why Enma Ai hands over her straw doll before clarifying things first. Looks like "it's a trap"

One of this show's main weaknesses is that the protagonists randomly involve themselves to stop or instigate a problem for the hell of it. I don't get the morality behind that.
