Jigoku Shoujo Review

Overall rating 8.0/10

I recommend to everyone who holds grunges. It is one-of-a-kind show.

"We will take revenge on your behalf."

Sometimes in life someone wronged it and you want to take revenge against them for that. However if they are too powerful for you to take on them or out of reach, then there is nothing you can do. Feeling of hatred and resentment will linger unfulfilled.

If you are like that. If you want to indulge this feeling than this show is for you. 

Enma Ai will take revenge on your and other people's behalf.

This is mostly episodic show. Each episode features one person who is bullied, abused, harassed, oppressed or blackmailed by someone. In the end the only salvation they could find is contacting Jigoku Shoujou and ask her for help.

Each victim and their circumstances are different, but in 1st and mostly 2nd season they all are rather sympathetic. You do not feel that wrong people are being sent to hell like in 3rd season.

Because 1 season is often more brutal than 2nd, many would say 2nd is best. However 1st season is the most true to the core principle of the show and does not have annoying Kikuri

Some of the episodes are especially touching, like the one where Enma Ai portrait wept.

In the last 3 episodes (24 - 26) we also get a back story of Enma Ai herself and how she became a Jigoku Shoujou. This helps you better understand her and people like her.

Overall you you want to take revenge but powerless to do it, then contact Jigoku Shoujou at midnight online on your PC and she will take revenge on your behalf. I mean watch this show.
