Summary: |
Somewhere in the vast sea of the Internet, there's a website that can only be accessed at the stroke of midnight. Known as the Jigoku Tsushin, rumor has it that if you post a grudge there, the Jigoku Shoujo will appear and drag whoever torments you into the inferno. Very little is known about the girl - all we know for sure is that she lives with her equally enigmatic grandmother, that three magical straw dolls accompany and serve her, and that whenever a posting on the Jigoku Tsushin moves her, she becomes the Jigoku Shoujo. |

This show is disturbingly, psychologically gripping. Once you see the first episode, you'll want to watch the next episode. Episode 1 was like "Huh?" for the first few minutes. Then it was like "Oh...". Then it was like "........". This show will get to you mentally and view things differently. The reason I say this is because each episode has a different story involving different characters and their daily hardships (some more than others while the rest are completely beyond humane). You want to see mental, emotional, and completely downright insane? This show is for you. The dialogue for each character portrays their troubles VERY intensely, as though you can feel their pain and personality. The young mistress (Ai) voice is just (as an example or vague description) chilling, especially around the end. It just sticks to you. Her appearance also captures you when she says that one line near the end. As for the rest, it is almost has a touch of realism to both background and characters. It truly is something. The entertainment that I feel comes from what I said in the beginning - disturbingly, psychologically gripping. You just want to keep watching and see more as well as to see who else is feeling the pressure of their cruel world. Just as an extra note, this is just after watching two episodes. This is not for the emotionally, mentally weak. It may or may not disturb some but if you look past the situations each characters experience, then this is the show to watch. Phew, longest review I wrote. Ok, time to go watch the next episode. Want to try reading this once? or more?.........
