About Hell Girl

Looking for background on Hell Girl (地獄少女)? This drama, horror and mystery series by Studio DEEN (2005) starts out like this. In short: Somewhere in the vast sea of the Internet, there's a website that can only be accessed at the stroke of midnight. Known as the Jigoku Tsushin, rumor has it that if you post a grudge there, the Jigoku Shoujo will appear and drag whoever torments you into the inferno.

Beyond that: Very little is known about the girl - all we know for sure is that she lives with her equally enigmatic grandmother, that three magical straw dolls accompany and serve her.

With drama at the core, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Ai Enma (Mamiko Noto) and Ren Ichimoku (Masaya Matsukaze) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. The run is 26 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
