Jigoku Shoujo is one of the best anime I have ever seen. The animation was wonderful. The characters, including the extras, were drawn beautifully, it made me admire both males and females (^_^). Hone Onna is one of the most beautiful characters I've ever seen. Enma Ai is soooo cute and I love her voice (Mamiko Noto) especially the "How would you like to see what death is like" part. And Ren is just gorgeous ^_^.
The stories show the realities/harshness of life and how people think. Sometimes it just shows how stupid people are. There were times when I emphatized with the characters, I understand why they did what they did and I feel their guilt when they realize they did it for nothing. There were lots of times when my chest constricted and my eyes watered.
All in all, Jigoku Shoujo is one of my all-time favorites.
