Happy with this purchase
The item arrived on time and the disc was in great condition. The only thing I have to say, is that I was unaware it was in Japanese, as the first season was in English; regardless I am happy with the product.
Characterization revealed, motives seen, and mean things made pretty
After seeing the result of the first Hell girl, I was wondering what the second season might lead into. what I found was an exploration of some of the people surrounding our Hell girl, some explanations here and there that tie certain events together, and a threat that says that "your loved ones will wander and never know peace" if the covenent was not continued. So, along with a young girl that is explained as things progress, more people with more problems sign on to send people off to Hell - and sometimes without hardcore reasons. Strange, how much vengence can build up in a person.
First, I think I want to address the dubbing notion. i like the subtitled version myself, and I think it hlps out a lot. There are scenes where two people may be talking and you get a second set of subs on the screen, but aside from weird things like that you have a lot of clarity. Moreover, the subtitles are done really well and actually seem to translate better than some of the dubbing from...
Definitely worth your time!
I was a big fan of the first season of Hell Girl so when I heard they werent ever going to dub season 2 I wondered if I would still enjoy the subtitled release. The answer is a big yes!! It really wasnt a problem with the subtitles and several characters such as Hone Onma seem more enjoyable in their original Japanese voices. Even though I dont understand Japanese hearing her reactions and tone for voice was great-the English voice actress in season 1 defintiely wasnt as expressive.
The addition of the mysterious Kikuri really kept the show fresh and interesting. In these 13 episodes you really get to know Ai Enma's servants a lot better and that makes the story more enjoyable.
If you enjoyed the first season this is definitely worth your time!!
