I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Great news! Ippen shinde miru? |
 |
| I hope it'll be better than 3rd season. |
 |
| Oh wow, reallyyyy unexpected. Holy hell, and it's also gonna be airing this year? I'm already excited for lotsa things this year so this is another great addition |
    |
| I can't believe it. At the same time I commented why I don't like the English dub industry, the core reason for my opinion gets a sequel. |
  |
| Finally some good news! |

| OMG! I can't belive it! >.< What a news! :D I'm so happy! |
    |
| Whaaat I totally thought this wouldn't get another sequel. Just let it be great as the first and second season. |
| Very surprised by this after all these years. I look forward to it for sure of course. Hope it will be 24 episodes. |

| Whoa! I thought the series was done with the third season! Jigoku Shoujo is one of my favorites, so I'm VERY much looking forward to a new season! |
| "All life is inherently broken from the start. There is no perfection in life. Otherwise, what would be the purpose of death? It's to try to find ways to better yourself before the end that gives us purpose." |
| Wow that was unexpected Maybe I should try finishing the third season after all |
| Baby, daijobanai... |
| WOW!!! More Noto Mamiko as Enma!!! |
| That's unexpected. But I can't say I'm happy, since I remember how depressing this anime was. |
 |
| Summer 2017? Fuck, I need to watch the first 3 seasons quickly. Gattmartna said: It is a complete surprise...seriously nobody saw this coming. hope it is good as the rest. we needed a good horror story in anime for a while now. Seriously tho. This came outta nowhere. I thought people had already forgotten about this. |
 |
| Quite unexpected. The other seasons were decent so will watch for sure. |
| Lolwat ? Dammit, i always been interested in this one but i just keep pushing it thinking one day i should watch it... now this. Wouldnt be surprised at all that Deen is back for this one but maybe Takahiro Omori decided to do like Natsume and Durarara and bring back the anime with his studio Shuka. (he did the first 2 season anyway, its a possibility i guess) |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Mhhh... Took long time to decided for it, like 3 years... Anyway, this will be quite great, I'm expecting that this is will the same as the other adaptation... |
| Haven't heard this anime before.... Sooooo This is the 4th one... Man Never thought of new sequel will be released.... again :) 2017 is the best year :) |

| AW SHETTTTTTTTTT! i was rewatching the series, AW SHETTTTTTTTTTTTT! hype! |
| Hopefully better than the third season, still haven't finished it. |
 |
| Just proves that even almost 10 years later, series can still get sequels. |
 |
| OMG OMG OMG!!! My favourite anime of all time finally getting another season?! This is like christmas and my birthday together! Wow, wow, wow, I've never seen that coming! I hope they'll focus more on the main plot again like in the first two season. Awww... this is soooo amazing!!! |
| Really confused by the timing of this... anybody got an explanation? The last season came out almost a decade ago, and the manga had apparently ended a few years back too. What lead to this decision? Not trying to bash it or anything, just genuinely confused. |
| Wow this is surprising news, I should finish the other seasons soon. |
 |

| It's been forever since i watched s1 and s2! I have yet to watch s3. But this is great news :D |
| Well, that's definitely come out of nowhere. Still, I enjoyed the first three seasons so I might as well watch this fourth as well when it comes out. |
| After that 3rd season, I'm not sure how to feel about this.. I still consider the 2nd season as the closure for the story. (Unless this will have "another" good closure, both the 3rd and the upcoming 4th season are non-canon to me) |
| i am surprise to see that Jigouku shougo will get another season , Im okay with it though I will wait and see how the new story will came out |

| Fu** someone should me poke and say: that this just a dream is...xD This is dammit a epic news, there coming now some nostalgy feelings...^_^! Then we could expect that also finally Spice & Wolf season 3 coming will...  |
 |
| I'm about to cry, this is the best news related to anime!!! TT |
kamisu said: well, Code Geass pretty much did a while ago.this is the first time i've heard of a new season airing 8 years after its predecessor... |
| STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Can't believe it's happening. After all these years. Ippen shinde miru? |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Omg I'm so hyped... |
| Oh. Wow. Really did not expect this. |
 |
| Why did they suddenly decide to do this? Yuki_Ookami said: What? 2008 wasn't that long ag-- The last season came out almost a decade ago Oh.. I feel old now. |

| Ok that's nice but hope they'll keep my lovely Mamiko-chan as Enma coz no one suit better than her imo. |

| I don't think I''ll ever say "we'll never get a sequel" again. |
 |
| I'm surprised, never thought this would get another season. I'm looking forward to it, guess I need to watch the other two seasons before it airs then. |

| Nice. Didn't see that one coming. |
 |
| It's time to to watch the first season.. Which I doubt I will, sadly. :-( |
 |
| Well, this is a blast from the past. I never watched the original series, but I did read the manga, and I liked it. It's too bad the two follow-up manga were never licensed. |
