Anime recommendation: Jigoku Shoujo

in #anime7 years ago

Hello friends this time I will recommend an anime that I saw years ago that I loved.
His name is Jigoku Shoujo, which translated would be The Girl from Hell
The series is basically a collection of independent stories, each of which tells the story of the suffering of a different person at the hands of one or several subjects, the contract with Enma Ai and the punishment to which the aggressor is subjected by it.

During each story, the dramas are told in detail from the beginning of their harassment, and progressively increasing the anguish suffered by the protagonist until he feels unable to bear his torment more, to the point of requiring the help of the girl of the hell.

When a person feels a grudge, Jigoku Shōjo appears and sends to Hell the person causing that hatred. However, the user must seal a contract with her before executing the revenge, and the price to pay is always that the person who accepts the contract must also go to Hell when he dies.

Secondary:

Wanyūdō: Formerly part of the chariot in which a princess fled from her persecutors, this wheel became a fire tsukumogami that later became a lie called a yōkai Wanyūdō that roamed the world scaring people (with the intention of put out the frustration that caused him to get off the road and not be able to save the people who were traveling with him) until he found Ai, who far from being scared proposed to become his mount and he accepted becoming the first assistant of his demonic team of soul punishers as their transport.

Ichimoku Ren: He is one of Ai's helpers, he has the appearance of a young man with hair covering his left eye. Originally his original form was that of a katana that killed many people and that after a battle, his last owner left her nailed to a stone. He became tsukumogami, becoming a yōkai because Ai rescued him.

Since then he is the seducer of the group, taking care to be with the heart of the women to investigate the cases of the clients of the mail of the Hell. It also has the ability to make a giant eye appear where he wants to spy on whoever is needed. He considers himself handsome and wears an earring.

Hone-Onna: Another one of Enma Ai's assistants. This ancient geisha of indescribable beauty and irresistible charm for men who sold paper balloons. Her boyfriend sold her to a brothel to pay off her debts until she planned to flee from him. It was then that her best friend, Kion, with whom she planned to escape, betrayed her and caused her lover to end her life. They threw his corpse into a lake, his soul merged with all the Hitodamas that were there and that, by telling them that she did not deserve a dignified death, they took pity on her and turned her into the yōkai Hone-Onna capable of projecting a kind of illusion around him he reproduces the aspect he had in life and used to scare with special cruelty in revenge. Despite all his success with men is considerable, even in his role as a devil he keeps a certain human coquettishness and can not bear to be reminded of his age (200 years) or criticized, calling her mistress and other things. Her name literally means 'Woman Bone' and her real name is Tsuyu.Hone-Onna: Another one of Enma Ai's assistants.

Sort:  

Quite good anime, great art but it is quite strange having so many independant episodes with little or no tie over in story.

the attractive and original of this anime are that each chapter is a different story and that was what I fell in love with that anime plus its beautiful character design and atmosphere and to give it more emotion there are also chapters where the story of ai enma and others are told. secondary characters.
