Jigoku Shoujo - Episode 1

The Other Side of Twilight





Wow, this was the best first episode I've seen for ages!!! While some other bloggers had problems with the animation I'm totally satisfied and the soundtrack is unbelievable. It gives the show the right horror-kick, I love it!

Harassment at school is a big problem in Japan and besides the little fantasy/horror part of the story ^^° this was a realistic portrayal how it can happen a high school girl decides to commit suicide.

I'm anxious about what's to happen with her, but from the preview I can guess this show will consist of many episode-stories. I have doubts this concept will work for 26 episodes, but for now I'm overwhelmed by the brilliant horror atmosphere.

the concept of the storytelling itself is actually quite common in shoujo manga, totally episodic. Some better had hints in the middle and finally several resolving episodes in the end.

A first episode tells nothing in most cases, but I hope Jigoku Shoujo will keep the brilliant atmosphere...then I don't care if it's going to be episodic or not ^^
