How did the eyes of the litttle girl turn like that? It became like the eyes of Enma. Maybe they're siblings?! Lol, I don't know.

I guess you can't access the site when you don't feel hatred inside you.

Really intriguing episode with the little girl and her father. I really hope the show runs with it, it's to bad he didn't get there a little earlier.

I think it actually would have been better for that girl if Hajime had not shown up in time to stop him and save her life. The manager would have gone to Hell anyway when he died (I think? Does double murder and theft qualify you for that?) and she would have had a chance to go to Heaven.

But consider that, at the end of the episode, part of her felt guilty that she hadn't been in Yuko's position. It's almost like going to Hell after avenging Yuko was her form of repentance.

Agreed. I am happy there another group out there. Its like cops and robbers in a cat catch.

The little girl. what her relationship with miss hell girl? Other than the fact, both girls are loli! LOL

Siblings, mother/daughter or maybe the girl is either her sensai or she gifted with abilities.

9/10 for the episode

at first when the girl fell down I thought that was Ai Enma in her previous life or something. also I wonder what the connection is between the girl and Ai Enma. also wonder if her father or what ever he is saw something happening to the guy who was sent to hell cause I thought it was him running to that window when that man got sucked in.

anyway good episode and what a punishment again and that blinking of Ai Enma was more scary then not blinking cause I did not expect her to blink haha but seriously sometimes I get shivers over my body while watching this.

Is this the signs of a plot? I'm actually liking how they started mixing up the formula for the curses. Now I'm interested in what future episodes will bring.

Woahhhh.... this arc's story had a smaller role this time.
Great to see more character developments and progress.
That little girl.. what is she ? is it her eyes ? or something about her past life ? so many possibilities.
Things are going to get really interesting.... XD *she's damn cute by the way*

Oh interesting! I so do hope we see more of Hajime and/or the daughter in the future. Cause something like that you just don't forget about!

As for the Hell arc in this episode: feel bad for Yuko and Chie. Guy was scum. They both got rotten taste I guess, haha! I was kind of wishing she wouldn't have pulled the string though just because I didn't want her to go to Hell. :(

As for Hell Girl developments: okay first thing, now we know you cannot access Hell Link unless you feel some sort of strong feelings. However, in a couple episodes back those two gals were accessing Hell Link trying to get in touch with Hell Girl and putting in "help me". So, was there REALLY a strong form of hatred in them at that point? Is there really certain criteria besides time in order to access Hell Link?

Next, this girl got Ai's eyes! Or something like that. How are they connected? Intriguing~

And this also wrapped a bit of my questions on if other people can see the voodoo doll thing and if there would be any consequences in telling the person you will send them to Hell or something like that. Although my questions aren't totally confirmed here so they still linger.

Good episode, I give it a 4/5 :)

Who the hell goes to a dark isolated area with a person who almost killed someone you know, tell them that you were a witness to the crime, and threaten them by a flight of stairs??? Not to mention the fact that she tells him how she plans to get rid of him like some cliche villain would. What an idiot >_>

Episode was good. I like the father-daughter relationship that those two have. And the father looks like a good guy. Interesting how they went to find the victim after his daughter saw a vision. The case itself wasnt that interesting tho.

Best btw: Drink that milk or your boobs wont get bigger. -Thats sexual harassment. -That's parental love.

Aww that girl called her Enma Ai instead of Hell Girl. It's like she saw her as a person and not this being that can send people to Hell. This episode seemed like it could be a mini arc but I doubt it.

It took 8 episodes for the show to get some slight variation in it's formula, and the next one seems to be going back to the usual boring crap. Dropped.

Rather interesting. So now we gettin abit more hint that we may dive into Hell Girl's origin. Also, a girl who has Hell Girl related visions. Huh. Also, for a second, I thought that girl who fell was Hell Girl before she died or something. I was proven wrong, but still interesting episode
