Jigoku Shoujo – 05


Okay, this is what I’ve been waiting for. Emna and the three others are finally playing an active role, other then just carrying out the revenge, and furthermore the story in this episode is awesome. We have this president of a huge succesful company, with a high school girl employed who’s supposed to be her distant family. Everyone believes that girl is aweful with computers, while the president is wonderful with them, but it’s just the opposite. The president is nowhere with computers, while the girl is a computer nerd. So far so good? Well, it also appears that the president is using the girl to hack into other companies and administration to her own advantage. The girl can’t do anything because of blackmail. We also see that the president is someone who’ll do literally everything for a succesful life, including summoning Jigoku Shoujo for her own selfish gains, and killing multiple persons.

This really turned into a great episode. They finally showed a bad guy (or girl) with multiple perspective, instead of the blocky ones they normally show. Emna finally gets to do something other then just riding in a boat or lying in the water. But I could still see the normal pacing I’m used of Jigoku Shoujo.

I’m having some speculations here. If I am right, then this anime will have a first season of slightly normal cases, and once the second season starts, then the cases will turn more extravagant by the minute. I’ll be very interested when that happens.
