The first part of the anime (ep1~7) tell us closed histories, who honestly,are totally disposable and repetitives. Is only in the second part of the anime (ep8~16) who he show us a plot but he continues repetitive. Only in our third and last part the anime become nice, and finally develops our plot, even though this is a little confusing.
In my opinion you can start the anime in the 8º episode and after seeing him jump for the 17º episode.
How I already said the first part of the anime is very disappointing. The anime tells us seven different histories without any plot. The second and the third part (ep8~26) compansate this. In this part the anime show us all the plot, discussing about the valor of the life, selfishness and regrets. Beside it the anime show us news characters who made the history more interesting
In my opinion the 14º and 21º episodes are better than all others episodes of this anime. If all episodes were equal these two, and the plot start from the first episode, of course this anime would be better.
If you watched the anime until the end you saw a giant development of the plot and characters, even if the last part of the story is a little confusing.
Now let's talk about the situations of the characters. This is really absurd and unrealistic. The world of the history is like our world, but a lot of situations never can be see here.
The animation is like the script, don't help the anime be great. The sound don't help too, is little impactant.
The end of the anime don't answers a lot of quests about the history and let a mention for the nexts seasons.
For finish, if you don't like histories who make you angry and are repetitive don't watch this anime. The anime would be better but, the script don't help him. Because that I give 4 for Jigoku Shoujo.
