Is my mind playing tricks on me, or is it that chibi Ai's hair grow large after coming back as the Jigoku Shoujo?

Check out the pics at futaba.

Spoiler for Preview pic for the last episode. Highly Spoiler:

Brief summary for 25 on Momento.

It seems Ai is going to hell?

Sakuya · 2006-03-28, 19:51

Wow, these last 2 episodes seem very pleasing. I'm actually looking forward to the next and final episode.

Her hair grew out (and her body matured a bit) as she spent time as the Nanatsu Priestess alone in the mountains.

Her last feature were her trademark ruby eyes. Originally, Ai's eyes were copper brown.

I just saw the episode, it's so sad!

Spoiler:

This really makes a very good ghost story. That spot where they were buried and that Hajime/Tsugumi was standing on at the end... *shivers*

Appeal no more. It's up.

Now I suspect Ai actually is a member of Uchiha clan with Sharingen.......
look at how she plays with fire!

I'm so happy that I can stop seeing people whine and whinge about this. People have been complaining ever since jelly started to sub at episode 14 and there were a lot more interval episodes back then. You weren't the first whinger, but I am ecstatic that you will be the last.

Now I am going to go watch episodes 13-22.

Guido · 2006-03-30, 00:50

Seen episode thirteen, and I will like to comment that a new music score was introduced near at the end of the episode.

The song I heard I could likely associate it to play when the person that has made the contract with Ai dies, and his/her soul is carried to hell.

Spoiler:

Likely that song would be included in the second OST.

The old man Fukumoto, who contracted Ai, said that the first reports of the Jigoku Shoujo dated back to the Momoyama-Azuchi era, that would be mid-16th century Japan just before the Tokugawa era.
Episode 25 fully discloses Ai's past from about four hundread years ago.

That evidence cements plausibility and it's tempting then to say that Ai has been the first Jigoku Shoujo all along, however, IMO it cannot yet be determined.

Shinsen-Subs has now released episode fourteen.

Spoiler for regarding who the future Jigoku Shoujo will be:

By the way, the official website shows that they're going to continue the series, but haven't announced any other details.

Jigoku Shoujo official website has posted on its announcement section that production for a second feature of Hell Girl has been decided as of today, though we cannot be sure as of yet if its going to be a second TV season or set of OVAs.

Sakuya · 2006-04-04, 21:22

I think it'd be very interesting and thrilling if they made a live action movie.

Although what can they possibly include in the second season besides all the send-people-to-hell bits they used for the majority of this season?

I was thinking the same. A live-action, J movie will bring forth the potential and horor-storytelling that this show possess.

What they can possibly include in the second season could be 1) how was the Jigoku Tsusshin system (carrying-revenge, sending-people-to-hell) created and 2) why Ai was chosen to become the Jigoku Shoujo.

The second season could also advent the arrival of a new Jigoku Shoujo relieving Ai from her duties, or maybe Ai searching for way to redemption to earn her freedom.

Sakuya Senior Member Artist Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: United States Age: 35	I just saw the episode, it's so sad! Spoiler: Was Ai supposed to starve there as an offering? It showed us Ai's past but it didn't show us the origin of Jigoku Shoujo. Where/how did she suddenly get powers and became the Jigoku Shoujo? And Sentarou was laughing when he saw that. Was he happy because Ai was alive (or maybe she's just a zombie)? I think she's some what of a zombie because they all died, hence the sprouting of cherry blossoms. According to the legend (?), the reason cherry blossoms are pink is because dead bodies are buried beneath the roots. And then we see Ai coming out of the ground. This really makes a very good ghost story. That spot where they were buried and that Hajime/Tsugumi was standing on at the end... shivers

Guido Snobby Gentleman Join Date: May 2004 Location: Monterrey, México Age: 43	Karinui The last episode has aired. The ending: a happy one of sorts for a change! Spoiler: http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2006...-shoujo-26-end - No one goes to hell in the last episode, meaning that both Hajime and Tsugumi survived. - The cherry tree revives and blossoms once again. Ai found out that taking revenge for herself was not the way, witnessing Tsugumi forgiving Hajime for her mother's death. - Tsugumi returns the doll to Ai. Ai's revenge is finally appeased, and on one last act to erase the burden of her traumatic past she burns the remains of the Shibata temple. - Ai takes off on the carriage along with her familiars to the morning sky, as both Hajime and Tsugumi are standing watching the remains of the temple burning. Happy ending, or is it....... ? Last client shown at the series finale, but certainly not the end of the Jigoku Tsusshin. The ordeal settled, Enma Ai resumes her duty once again as the Jigoku Shoujo. -Vengeance is the only justice in this world. Last edited by Guido; 2006-04-04 at 18:00.
