Spoiler for my thoughts on how it might continue:


I do hope they don't go back to an episodic format again. I wasn't too fond of that format in either season. It didn't help that the stories weren't particularly complex. In most cases, the people who got sent to Hell deserved it. Real life is not so easy to define in black & white, I'm afraid. Futakomori began exploring the greyer aspects of Ai's job. If there's going to be a third season, it had better be along the same direction.

I do wonder why we're even getting a third season. I never got the impression that this series was that big of a hit in Japan. In fact, I tried searching high and low for Jigoku Shoujo souvenirs in Japan last year -- I couldn't find a single one, not even in Akihabara. If the show were really that popular, I'd expect to see posters of Enma Ai around, at least?
