Jigoku Shoujo is the first season, and is licensed.

Jigoku Shoujo Futakmori is the second season and is not licensed.

So you may have watched Futakomori without watching the first season.

Upon hearing that S3 would be coming out, I just had to get myself caught up with S1 and S2...

So here I am, after just watching the final ep of S2...

Spoiler for probably not needed...:

mmmm there are things I do not understand...... How in the hell did the girl who wanted to kill takuma survived in the end (and how did she try to commit scuicide)? And even if she didn't die, isn't she doomed to hell?

ahh I m still shocked after seeing this serie. How can all those people take the idea oh hell so lightly? How is suffering in the worst possible way for eternity after death a good trade of for a puny vengeance against someone you just dislike or for light reason such as the person treating you of idiot? I can understand that some people are stupid, desperate or whatever but that so many people in that town did so?

I do believe in the fact that mobs make weak willed people stupid but at the end it wasnt really a mob, it was just 5 horrible people..... and still they did stupid things.

arg I need to go watch something stupid BUT funny..... this serie is good but too much of it brings me the blues.

This is compairitive almost to the reason why people watch reality television. It doesn't seem as intimidating when it's somewhere else. Vicarious killing via spiritual intervention as well is the delayed effect of their own price allows them to settle in their denial. While stabbing them in the face would have the same effect, few have the courage to do it as well as such a fate wouldn't seem to fit the slight many of the characters seemed to have against them. It's really deeper then just the mob complex, the promise that Jigoku Shoujo offers appeals directly to the weakest part of the human, it's heart. It uses rash decision under emotional stress to carry out it's intent. It was probably designed by that particular yozi (or "Big Boss" if you prefer) for that purpose.

There are alot of subtle plot queues I absolutely adore about this series, if there is a S3 it'll be interesting to see how they continue the plot.

I just finished the last episode. It made me cry ;_; but at the same time, I thought it was a really good ending

FYI:

Sentai Filmworks (formerly ADV Films) has announced they've licensed Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori (second season), which they are releasing as Hell Girl: Two Mirrors.

The first half of the series is available as a DVD set in on May 25, 2010 for $49.95 MSRP (usually available online for less). The second half will presumably follow in July or August.

I see this as good news for those who wanted to collect all of Hell Girl on DVD, as Funimation (which licensed the first season) didn't seem interested in getting the second (and third) season. Given Sentai's track record with You're Under Arrest there is even a good chance they have the license to Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae (third season) as well - we'll have to see whether this is true this autumn.

And it took almost, almost three years for the second Hell Girl series to see a licensing in North America.

Better to start saving soon to buy DVD box sets.

Just finished watching Season 1 of Hell Girl and out of everything I have watched so far, it's one of the best, not as good as Clannad, but in the top 5 for sure.

As proven by an almighty 3 seasons of it, this is an Anime that has no end, you could watch them forever and never become bored.

But I do have a question, Hell Girl the first season has a full English dub, but does season 2 or season 3 have English dubs?

I'll got used to the voices so it be nice to keep with them, but if's only subs, then so be it.

So here I am, after just watching the final ep of S2... Spoiler for probably not needed...: Oh god how could it end like this for Ai...it's just too cruel I tell ya ;___; Seriously, I was lose to sobbing seeing how she was battered by those bastards, yet refused to give way...I guess she was all ready to die after 400 years of pain and suffering. For her to be ready to die like that - she must have no regrets left over...well maybe the regret of being separated from her family, but in the end she was ready to be released from this world of suffering. Oh god do I feel for the others...they loved Ai dearly and to be stuck helplessly as she was killed right in front of their eyes. The master of hell is brutal! but even kikuri shed tears on his part (or it could have been himself during that time). I wonder why he would kill Ai if he did feel that she has done a good job. This also ties in with my question of how Ai got back after bettraying him in S1 Overall I loved S2 of this amazing series (shame I didn't pick it up earlier ^^). While S1 was rather episodic (normally a bad thing for me) and the fact that it was literally a cat and mouse chase, though the plot near the end was jaw dropping, S2 completely made me fall in love with the series. Ai opening up after 400 years and becomes more active is never a bad thing to see - still I am head banging over the fact that she dies...why ohhh why ;___; S3 is going to be a surprise who is going to be the new hell girl (no...noone can replace Ai!). Big chance it is going to be kikuri but I don't like her childish ways really :/ as well, I wonder whether the other three will turn up or not... Ahh...feeling deprived of Ai now T_T __________________ Siggy: hohohohoho~ \| AnimeHistory welcome to our blog ~ \| Summer2009 early review Under the radar series Summer2009: Kanamemo, GA Geijutsuka Art, NEEDLESS
