Characters in this anime are victims who can't stand any more pain and than they become desperate and seek help in jigoku shoujo, a girl from hell. But when they accept covenant wirh her, they become sinners. Some person who commits a mortal sin is one who knows that their sin is wrong. In this anime, direct and intentional killing is gravely sinful And because a life on earth seems unbearable to them, they are ready to suffer eternally in hell. I liked that main story and I liked the side stories (it's not a repetative to me). I also liked
the connection between characters, and psichology of the vicims and bullies. Shibata Hajime is a great positive person with a good, bright character traits and Enma Ai is a great in a negative and a sad, dark way. Hell girl is not be for people who love fast story line with action, but if you like tragedy and violence this is for you. (show less)

The first time I watched season 1 i got very bored because in every episode ,the main characther Ai Enma A.K.A Hell Girl ,does the same thing Saying O pitiful shadow lost in the darkness ans so on. But don't give up on it just because as you get farther and farther into the show the main stroy starts to become more and more clear.I don't want to spoil any thing for you because this is just a review.But I tell you some that you should expect to happen.At exactly midnight a website called Hell Correspondence ( Jigoku tsuushin ) can be access and by typing the name of the person you bare a strong hatred for, you can send them to hell but first a deal will have to be made.You will be givin a doll with a red string on it and by pulling the string you can send the person you hate to hell and at that moment two holes will appear and you too will be sent to hell but thats when you die ofcourse. Well thats just the basic of the show.To learn more about Ai's mysterious past that made her become hell girl just this Amazing and heart touching show because the will be moment where you will feel like crying! Once I finished watching season 1 I just had to watch the other two seasons. I on season three right now I'm just so sad that seson 3 is the last season =( . I posted this review on hell girl season 1-3. (show less)
