Jigoku Shoujo – 17



Haunted House stories á lá Jigoku Shoujo. Can it get any better? I don’t think so.

This episode was definately different than all other episodes combined. This time, it focuses on the first supernatural being in the show, other than Ai and her company. The story was brilliantly excecuted. The spirit I talked about houses in an old hospital, and managed to catch Hajime and Tsugumi in her web.

This was also the first time that revenge was being asked against an already dead person. It’s nice to see that sometimes, even spirits make use of each other’s powers like that. Or at least, try to make use of each other’s powers like that, as Ai wasn’t really intending to grant the girl’s wishes.

Then we finally get to see a couple of things the show’s been hinting at for a while comfirmed. Even though her dolls see H&T as bothersome, Ai herself doesn’t, for some reason, and she even protects them. We also see that she can do more than just carry out revenges, as she demonstrated quite nicely at the end of the episode. The epilogue of the episode also was just great. I like this girl’s story, and this also is the first episode in which nobody got carried to hell.
