Jigoku Shoujo is a horror anime about Enma Ai, a girl who lives in eternal twilight with her grandmother. She has her own website, 'Hell Correspondence', where you can type in the name of a person you want revenge on. She would give you a doll, with a red string attatched to it- If you untie the string to truly eliminate your antagonist, they will go immediately to Hell. Although, when the life of the person who untied the string ends, a mark appears on their chest, as a reminder that they will go to Hell when they die.
Enma Ai's clients, along with herself, give out the revenge, and are also the straw dolls she gives out. Usually depending on the person, each punishment is different, usually for having them learning a lesson before going to Hell. Enma Ai has been fulfilling her task for 400 hundred years.
In the very first season of Jigoku Shoujo, it centers around individual stroies, until the second season which settles down at only one story plot.









...Characters...

Ai Enma(閻魔 あい) Seiyuu:Mamiko Noto Voice Actor:Brina Palencia	Age: Unknown(deceased, lving in afterlife) Ai Enma is the main protagonist of the series. In her past, she was buried alive, and her eyes turned red because Sentaro(her childhood soulmate) had given her the first shove of soil in her face. She eventually broke out of her grave, and burned her village to the ground for revenge. Since then, her punishment was to deliver revenge and victims to Hell. Although, it is just atonement, it is never revealed when she is freed of it. In the first season, Ai shows no emotion, probably resulting the fact that she has done her job for nearly 400 hundred years. By season two, she allows to express her emotions, but in odd ways- Such as teleporting and hurling blasts of energy when she's angry. [Spoilers in season 3]
Wanyuudo(輪入道) Seiyuu:Takayuki Sugo Voice Actor:R. Bruce Elliot	Age: Unknown Wanyuudo is the first of Ai's clients. He appears to be a weak, old man that wears traditional Japanese clothing, and a red scarf around his neck. He appears to be the chariot that Ai uses to travel to the human world, and back to her twilight. In the beginning of the series, Wanyuudo(who turns into the black doll) is the only straw doll that Ai hands out to people who went to the Hell Hotline website. Ai reveals that Wanyuudo has the ability to shapeshift.
Ren Ichimoku (一目 連) Seiyuu:Masaya Matsukaze Voice Actor:Todd Haberkorn	Ren is Ai's second companion, and takes the form of a young man. Usually, when delivering punishments before Ai claims their soul, he manifests a large eye, which can be projected anywhere. In the series, he is revealed to be an artifical spirit, and originally a katana. He is abandoned from his rock, and joins Ai. Ai asks him to join her because she thinks he is looking for something. He is actually looking to fill the emtiness he has, because as a katana, he can only be used for killing. In the series, Ren has grown fond of his human form, and shows vanity over the course of the anime. Ren takes the form of a blue straw doll.
Hone Onna (骨女) Seiyuu:Takaka Honda Voice Actor:Jennifer Samen	Age: 200(remember, she's already dead!) Hone Onna is the thrid companion of Ai. She takes the form of a woman in a kimono, and the obi is tied in the front(it is tied in the back in season two). She takes the form of a red straw doll. Out of the three clients for Ai, she usually dresses in casual clothing for investigating cases. She suffers from mild vanity, disliking being called oba-san, or 'old lady'. Before meeting Ai, she was betrayed by a man she fell in love with, and sold to prostitution. When she tried to escape, she was killed by a samurai. Her original name was Tsuyu.

Jigoku Shoujo, Episode List	Jigoku Shoujo Opening & Endings
Jigoku Shoujo has over 40 episodes, so unfortuneatly, it cannot have an episode list. If you have a website with a full episode list, add it onto a thread or something. =)	These are openings and endings 1.

...In My Own Opinion...

It is a seinen anime, after all, but it's art style is way too good for seinen, way too good for shounen, in fact, the effort into making the characters is by far the best I have ever since. The creators obviously work really hard to make sure every single scene looks perfect. Other than that, the anime is obviously fun to watch, and I don't know why. The endings are colorful, and the openings have amazing songs. The scary background music actually helps in setting the scary moods for things. My favorite part of it is the crazy unsuspected pasts the characters have. Including Ai's. Although the very first season slightly bored me with the fact that the same things happened over and over again. I love the fact that each episode is individual and different, but the dialogue Enma Ai says is so annoying to hear after all. Of course, the creators didn't find this out until the second season. This shows how much a long boring plot can be more entertaining. Although, the anime was really good by art and plot, you know, when everything started lining up.
