It's story line is promising; One mouse-click at midnight and the Hell Girl will be front and centre to exact your revenge... Once you've weighed up the cost.
Viewers be warned though... The first half of the series is veeeeeery repetitive, and that's because the series is primarily singular episodes where only the villainous motives change. The rest of the format stays exactly the same.
At about the halfway mark though, you're introduced to a couple more characters that are slated to become regulars, and their 'relationship' to Hell Girl is worth sticking around for.
The other aspect that kept me watching were the villains and their dastardly deeds. These people are twisted, conniving, sick and downright evil so no wonder the Hell Girl is popular. Oh and the men have got nothing on the women when it comes to evil, I mean damn!
The characters, art and sound are winners here, but unfortunately it falls short because of its predictable format and lack of 'flow'.
I will still watch the 2nd and 3rd series, because I'm hoping that all of the mundane stuff should now be out of the way, so bring on the good stuff! Fingers crossed...
