"闇に纏いし哀れな影よ。 人を傷つけ貶めて罪に溺れし業の魂 ・・・イッペン 死ンデミル?"
"O miserable shadow clad in darkness! Hurting and disdaining people, a karmic soul drowning in sin... Would you try dying for once?"
— enma ai.

plot synopsis
rumor has it that somewhere on the internet there is a website accessible only at midnight -- the hotline to hell -- where people can ask the hell girl to take revenge on people who have wronged them. however, when one person is cursed, two graves are dug, for if the hell girl fulfils your request, when you die you too will be consigned to the pit of hell when you die. would you untie the red ribbon and sell your soul to the hell girl for vengeance?

hauntingly hooked
i guess those who are on the anime block will be familiar with the haunting phrases from 地獄少女 , Jigoku Shōjo. i waited for weeks for it to be aired in animax and actually missed 8 episodes of it due to the long holidays (balik kampung tanam jagung... no astro). although, sweet trap, 甘い罠 was the first episode i watched in the series and i was hooked on it.

i love the colors. vivid and ghastly in a spooky way. when the red string if untied, ai will ascent into the living world in flowy kimonos adorned with flowers or butterflies which are extremely captivating. she speaks softly but commands the attention of the audience with her unnerving aura and unblinking red eyes. however one can almost feel the sadness lurking behind those fearful eyes. the story lines were simple and the reasons leading to the need to summon the hell girl somehow believable. personally, i think good soundtracks lifts any show a notch higher. jigoku shōjo scored top marks here. the dark, melancholy background melodies enhanced the mood for the scenes.
align="justify">really did enjoyed it and ai's haunting promise "when one person is cursed, two graves are dug" is still echoing in my brain.
