Story (6): To be completely honest the anime is the same thing over and over again, it lacks a plot change until around the 18th episode in. But if you do stay for the first 18 episodes you'll mostly likely enjoy the rest because you start to learn more about Hell Girl herself. Some of the episodes shined more than others but all in all they were decent.
Art (9): It was really nice art nice and sharp the character designs were all different you didn't really see anyone that looked like the same person in the last episode. And everyone looks beautiful, even the old people look good. And Hell Girl looks like the most beautiful thing in the world I always looked forward to her appearance in the episode. To me her eyes are just hypnotic.
Sound (8): I borrowed the DVD of Hell Girl because my friend absolutely loves the series and owns the complete box set and on the title menu before you hit play the music is just epic and addicting, my friend and I would just leave it playing. But the OP and ED fit the series well and they sound good together just slow somber songs that shows the somber feel of the anime.
Character (6): The characters are very basic when you look at the person you can tell what character they are going to be. You can always tell who is going to be who in every anime you watch but in Hell Girl you can really tell who is who, the way the character looks you can basically judge their character.
Enjoyment (7): When I first started watching it I liked it a lot, I liked hearing about peoples problems and why they wanted revenge. But then the stories slowly got slower and slower. To me it went from these juicy episodes (1-10) to like "We ran out of ideas and tried our best." episodes (11-18). But all in all it was decent for the most part.
Overall (7): I'm only giving it a 7 because my friend made it sound like the greatest thing since sliced bread and over the years I've heard nothing but good talk about Hell Girl. But to me it reminds me of the quote "All that glitters is not gold," That's how I felt. I mean towards the end it did get better but too be honest I'm only going to start season 2 and 3 for my friend. If it were up to me I'd probably have stopped watching it a long time ago. But all in all if you're truly into this kind of thing it's the show for you.
