| Before I started watching I've heard that it's a great series that you'll want to rewatch..but now I cant wait for it to be over! I was very interested in the plot when I read about it,but it's such a slow series and get's very repetitive. Currently,i've watched 20 episodes and I have 6 episodes left and I barely have any interest in it left at all,but I'm one of those people that wants to finish something when they start it. Is it worth watching until the end? Does something major happen in the end? |
| Jigoku Shoujo is pretty repetitive throughout the series. It's only when you reach the last few episodes in each season where the plot begins to kick in. Might as well finish it. But whether you want to continue to the next season or not is up to you since each season basically does the same thing. Season 2 is good though... |

| The first and second season were alright imo Then again I didn't mind the episodic nature because I liked following Ai around at "work" lol |

Maneki-Mew said: Well, it depends: Do you personally like the concept of episodic anime or not? There are many more anime of this kind. ^^ It's quite unfair to judge an anime about what it should be. I mean, it was made to be episodic, but it has some overall plot and backstories here and there, especially in the 2nd season. Yeah thats the thing tho,this is actually the first episodic anime that I watched so I wasnt sure what I was getting myself into,but now that I watched it I'm sure it's not my thing. I prefer plot heavy ones Rogh said: I have already dropped it it was really hard to continue the pacing is slow episodes are repetive and not interesting characters. Exactly! The characters are oh so bland Tarotist said: Jigoku Shoujo is pretty repetitive throughout the series. It's only when you reach the last few episodes in each season where the plot begins to kick in.

Hm,yeah now that you mention that I'll stick around and see what the end is like. So far I dont see myslef whatching the second season lol Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| For an episodic anime, the MC has character development unlike Mushishi. |

Taste in anime does not make you a better person. Totally agree! |
| Yeah I dropped it too a while back... It wasn't that horrorish at all and just super repetitive... It got boring... I would drop~ |
| If a show ain't doing it for you, you drop it. Ditch the stupid watch-it-all policy. lady_freyja said: I haven't watched it yet, so I dunno how "bland" the characters are. But the source material was published in Nakayoshi, which target 8-14 years old girls, ie the youngest audience of the shōjo category. The manga is not the source material of anything. If you look at the dates, the anime aired 2 days after the manga started serialization. And the mangaka is not credited on the anime's pages at all, not here, not on ANN. It's just an accompaniment/advert to the anime series, which was most likely in production long before the manga was even considered. |
| While you're still on the EP01, please do so if you feel like it. |

Season 2 delves more into the backgrounds of Ai and her supporters which make the stories more interesting. And her supporters have a more active role in the second season where they try and convince Hell Girl's summoner to not get revenge which makes you wonder if they'll do it or not. Other than that, it's pretty much the same repetitive formula. |
