    Okay, so i was surfing he inernet for some cool looking anime shows to watch because i was bored (and my manga provider was broken) and i found this show called Jigoku Shoujo. And the name was familiar to me (someone told me the name before) and so i google'd it, and so i read he plot and it sounded really good.

    Then, after reading the information about it, i typed it into youtube and started o wach the first episode and I LOVE IT!!!!! It reminds me of another show that i used to watch but it was a long time ago so i can't remember it's name. But anyways, this show rocks! I haven't seen many episodes yet but it is in close competition of the show Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles.

    I would like to know if anyone else has watched or even heard of this show....

    *points to sig and profile* xD

    Yeah, I love it too. I bought the first four volumes of the manga and watched the first two seasons (still need to see the third).

    The only really downside to it is that there really is no steady plot to it, new characters are introduced in every episode. Though I suppose it kinda gets a plot about halfway through the first season. Even so, the idea behind it and the characters still make it an awesome anime... I'd recommend it to anyone who likes revenge stories. =]

    I read the first volume of the manga, but I didn't really like it. It seemed sort of like the same thing over and over -- people wanting revenge for really childish reasons like
    a skating competition
    and then being doomed to go to hell because they overheard someone talking about Hell Girl & decided to use her to fix their problem. That and it switches characters so fast that it doesn't allow for much plot or character development, so I have absolutely no sympathy for 90% of the people who call upon Hell Girl.
    I might have cared about the girl who wanted to be in the skating competition if I had been witness to some of the effort she had supposedly put in trying to get there.
    Does it get any better? The anime art looks gorgeous and I'd like to give the manga a shot again (or try the anime), so if you guys say it gets better I'll look back into it... One volume isn't much to judge a series by, after all.

    Okay, so after two days....i have only been able to watch up to eopisode 8......and i am sad
    Beacuse in the episode with the mom catching her husbands boss's wife having an affair....and then the lady almost kills her because she just happened to see it, that was crap, but it was a good thing that she went to hell....

    And another thing...
    What is up with the spider that always talks to Ai....is that her Grandmother or what?

    I'm 99% sure the spider represents Satan watching her and making sure she performs her duty.

    The grandmother only talks to Ai for the most part. No she isn't Satan, the spider just stays at Ai's place to keep an eye on her. The grandmother is the one always sewing lol.

    Try http://Kumby.com for good steady steaming of anime. I watched Lucky Star and a bit of Soul Eater there.

    I've not got around to it yet, I keep meaning to, and every time I talk to RvR I remember I need to put it on my to do list.

    Hopefully one day I'll get around to it.
