what a good start to this season. looks cleaner, done better overall. I like how this series has slowly transitioned into having endings that are more messed up rather than the whole bad-guy-goes-to-hell deal that we got a lot of in the first season.

Also, after two seasons, I don't know why I'm noticing this now but I think there is some sort of connection between the fact that the string people pull is red and the legend/tale of the red string of fate. the latter concerns love, saying that two people are bound together by an invisible red string that is attached to each person's pinky finger. In jigoku shoujo, people remove/pull a red string out of hatred, the opposite of love. ironically, this binds the puller and the pullee together because they are both bound for hell. both the legend and the concept of pulling the string in the anime share common ground in binding people together, but for different reasons. Also, in the ed, this idea is present when we get the image of the schoolgirl and Ai attached to each other with a red string by hand (presumingly the pinky finger). I'm not totally sure what this means overall but I'm certain there is a purpose for the obvious link.

At least the ridicoulousness of the characters' minds towards the end of last season was justified and purely wanted and functional to the build-up, but this..
This was pretty crappy.

That girl was an idiot, Jigoku Tsushiin really is something that has to be eradicated.

But why would Enma need a body to return to do the Jigoku stuff? She seems to be fine without it, from what I've seen.
This seems too much similar to the first series, when Tsugumi was seeing Enma.
This girl cannot surpass Tsugumi. I miss her.

And why Kikuri and the gang returned to do that stuff like nothing happened? Kikuri was the one who punished Enma sending her to Hell, now she's siding with her?

And who's the new guy? Explanations please.

I've a bad feeling about this show, the director even changed.
I don't like the new OP, it's not the show's style, the ED's ok.

They sure changed a lot from the first two seasons.

Wish the new character would have got a better introduction I don't even remember the kid's damn name!

That yuri bathtub scene gave me a nice erection.

The punishment scenes have sure gotten more mindfucky. The music, thankfully is just as badass as the first two seasons.

Those visuals were pretty fucking freaky. That was some End of Evangelion shit.

That sexy Ren. Still manages to make me moist even moreso in 720p. Mmm mmm mmm.

Onna was also fucking hot. I'd totally bang her.

The fanservice has definitely been toned up from the previous seasons.

Overall good episode. Though I'm confused why Ai was able to have a body of her own after taking control of that girl.

The OP is good though I wish they would have got SNoW to do the OP again like the first two seasons. I've gotten so used to hearing SNoW during the Jigoku Shoujo openings.

The ED was just average. Probably won't be watching it again.

Nice first ep though, visuals seems to have improved a bit which is always nice.

Okay, Ai's first appearance... a lewd scene, second... a yuri scene... this is defo going to be an interesting season.

Soo... 1?... 2?... new characters? I know the new member of the hell gang is one but is the girl Ai came inside one? Well if she is, she's got a soothing voice so I can work on that... just... just dont turn into a Hajime.

Glad Kikuri is still in this season, looking forward to her interactions with the gang especially Ai... and her, well, general evilness/adorableness.

The ferrying scene sounds abit off, i wonder if they changed the music.

Oh and beautiful op but sadly not one of the unskippable ones.

As I expected, the season starts with a school case. Each one of the three seasons starts with a school case. I felt sorry for the teacher. I had the feeling that he was a good one unlike that cunning teacher from the second season.

Ai has a new kimono yay

I prefer her kimono on season 1 and 2.

*Mod edit*



bible is mane made up fairy tale book, for one god is spiritual being according to bible & so he can't make a human pregnant & that makes Jesus story a total BS, maybe if magic exists then it would be possible, but magic is also a fairy tale a fantasy so its 100% impossible

second adam & eve story if that is true that would make us products of incest & that mean god sees incest as normal thing that + that it also requiters magic & that makes adam & eve story & religion a total nonsense

its funny cause if i would take a fantasy story book about magic wizards unicorns & dragons & say it all exists its real cause my book says so i would be drown in insane-asylum, but religious ppl get free pass when they say they believe in fantasy cause their fantasy book says all that stuff in it exists & its real

i am telling u that cause sins u mentioned religious stuff, i can rarely resist when i see religious nonsense in forums & videos

& here a guy explains, gives good reasons why not to respect dumb beliefs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_5yUXjXizQ&t=6s
this guys show how dumb religion can make ppl, how they try to prove god exist & that their god is one true god & their arguments are so idiotic

i only linked their profiles u can pick videos to watch urself they have a lot videos debunking dumb religious ppl :), there are some pretty dumb among the smarter ones, also the religious ppl they debunk a lot of them are phasing none believers they are so bad & evil with no morals & bla bla bla, it makes me sick so i am glad yutubers like them exist who debunk religious ppl

Oh boy, the memories of this show is coming back to me slowly, it's been so long since I've first heard that opening song. Glad to see more of Ai, she's as beautiful as ever, and also a bit scary. Judging from how season 2 ended, I would wonder why she returned to being hell girl.. but things just took of, so more to come.

I already miss SNoW's openings for this series. This one just does not hit as the other two, not even close. ED was meh too. The episode itself was meh but I'm used to this level, just overly petty stuff resulting to being sent to the depths of hell and it was even a mistake for Itsuko too to make that move on her teacher like that.

What's with this anime always having to shit itself when it reaches the peak? Shitty episode. I'm surprised it has a rating above 1
And of course the brain dead creator forgets his plot again, with the shithead cast torturing an innocent victim, dropping a steamy pile of shit on season 1.
