Every story is a lot more exciting. It is made more complicating and so every each story is anticipating. There are even more twists and details in every story which makes it a lot more exciting that the previous season. Serving the revenge by the main characters is a little bit different and more exciting. It is more theatrical and more dramatic. There are more important revelations. The truth is gradually unveiling. We get to see how our lovely yet terrifying “OJOU” recruited her companions in Jigoku Tsuushin. The disgusting side of human beings is shown and so the profanity is even nastier. And even if there’s too much profanity, it is not overly done to the point of being so disgusting. I just love how the plot at the end of the series is made. Though it is sad and irritating, it is exciting how it unfolds. We see how twisted people can be and how unfortunate chains of events leads to the suffering of a single child.
The bad guys are nastier and a lot more irritating which makes the revenge a lot more exciting as well. The main characters are explored more. If in the previous season, Enma Ai’s past was revealed, this season her colleagues’ pasts are tackled as well. We get to see how and why they became Enma Ai’s companions. Enma Ai and her companions are seen a lot more together and you can see very well how close they are together. Much more, how they respect and treasure Enma Ai. They are even more investigative when it comes to their “clients”. They are the ones who gather information on why the clients are requesting their help. You could say, they are even more involve to the characters rather than just appears during the revenge itself. Let’s not forget the new addition to their group who I think is way creepier than any of them. I even think her character is more appropriate to be a hell girl with her very creepy face and nasty personality. And for some reason, she’s afraid of Enma Ai. Revelations shows that the main characters are not bad at all. Enma Ai is still as calm and poker face as ever. But strangely there are even times when she can really become funny while investigating clients and while doing their very theatrical revenge. It’s weird yet funny that while investigating, the whole main characters looks like a family. There’s also a new character whose situation is much like what Enma Ai’s had before with her village. Somehow you can really blame Jigoku Tsuushin because his character is being blame for their work. Well, I guess at the end of all, it is still people’s fault.
The animation is a little bit better and that includes Enma Ai’s new KIMONO which becomes a lot more beautiful. Ren and Hone Onna are not only very beautiful looking characters but they are very fashionable as well. As always, the sounds are so great. In fact, I think it is even better. It is really appropriate with the style and theme of the series. The ending them is really beautiful as well.
I do believe that it definitely live up to the greatness of the previous season. I think it even surpasses it. It is no longer about the revenge like the main focus of season one. There are more twists in the series which make it even more amazing and so exciting. I am so looking forward to the next season!
