After my Death Note addiction comes my Jigoku Shoujo fixation.
Jigoku Shoujo (roughly translated as Hell Girl) is an anime series which is equally dark and psychologically stirring as Death Note. I have always liked books, comics, movies and shows with this theme, so it's no wonder that it really got me smitten.
Its story revolves around the Jigoku Shoujo, Enma Ai, a girl with red eyes who, by request will drag any body's tormentor to hell. Requests are done through an internet website, called Jigoku Tsūshin (roughly translated as Hell Correspondence) which can only be accessed by anyone who harbors a grudge and only at midnight. Helping her investigate and pass judgment are her assistants
, Ichimoku Ren, Hone Onna and Wanyuudou.
The series also has its live action adaptation, which is equally as addicting as the anime series. I haven't finished the anime series yet, because I'm busy with school work, but I really hope I can finish it soon. Also, I hope to find a live action series source with English subtitles. All I see in YouTube are Spanish subbed.
