Jigoku Shoujo

**TakKi** · 06-28-2008, 12:52 AM

I recently finished this show and loved it. First off: I don't think everybody will love it as much as I did. It's pretty damn weird, and it's in the psychological genre. It's still worth it to check it out, though.

Genres: Psychological, definitely. It's also a supernatural/horror show, with a twist of mystery.

Synopsis: Somewhere on the internet, there's a mysterious site that can only be accessed on the stroke of midnight. Known as the Jigoku Tsushin, rumor has it that if you post a name there, the Jigoku Shoujo will appear and take revenge on your behalf. The girl's name is Enma Ai, and very little is known about her (besides the fact that she totally kicks all ass).

As for a rating, I gave it a 10 (yeah, I've basically only reviewed 10's I've seen; I don't really have all that many, as I've said..)
However, I expect most people that do watch it will give it ~8, unless they really like weird psychological stuff (like me lol).
There's also a second season: Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori, and a third season will come out this year: Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae.

My last piece of praise is to it's opening song (which is amazing lol): some of the best english I've heard in a japanese song. xD

nice it sounds interesting,
good review bro ur catching him! you know who Him is XD
and how does she take revenge? kill?

**TakKi** · 06-28-2008, 01:00 AM

Yes. By enacting vengeance, she sends them to hell. Of course, there is a price to pay... but you'll have to watch it to find out what. (You'll find out early in the first ep, don't worry..

)
Also, NOTE: There is more to the story than just the vengeance of a few people. The first few episodes may seem repetitive (they didn't bug me), but give it 4-6 eps. xD
