About Hell Girl: Three Vessels

If you are hunting for a new horror series, Hell Girl: Three Vessels (地獄少女 三鼎) deserves a look (2008). The setup goes like this. The premise: After the events of the 2nd season, Ai's three helpers, Ichimoku Ren, Wanyuudou and Hone-Onna live out their lives in relative peace. This is suddenly shattered when Kikuri returns to recruit them.

More of the story: Meanwhile, Ai mysteriously reappears from the dead and uses the body of a young schoolgirl, Yuzuki Mikage, to continue the Jigoku Tsūshin operation. Yuzuki is aware of Ai's presence however, when she can see what Ai sees.

In a horror series like this, atmosphere, sound and restraint do the heavy lifting. Ai Enma (Mamiko Noto) and Ren Ichimoku (Masaya Matsukaze) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers comfortable with dark, unsettling material, put it on your list. With 26 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
