IFC Premiere Talkback - Hell Girl (Spoilers)

Cool I'm checking out a 13 yr old...I'm checking out a 13 yr old??? Oh well she does have nice cheeks. Anyways I thought when Sentoro and Ai was singing it was so cute. And Ai hid for 6 yrs? Why didn't Ai parents leave with her after faking her death? Were they gonna keep her hidden forever?

Oh, the itsy bitsy spider...
 
It gives me great pleasure to announce that it wasn't just you.

I very nearly commented on that, but I couldn't think of anything.

EDIT: Different ending this week. Question of was-this-the-right-thing-to-do and all.

STEPHANIE SHEH played the witch's daughter? I thought she only did good girls!
 
Tivo recording screwed up last Tuesday night, so I'm catching it now.

This is it, the beginning of the end. Can't wait for 25 minutes from now...

Ooh, sand dollar.

Feelings of an almost human nature. This will not do...

The ladybug's her master?! (Actually it looks like a spider now.)

Hajime = cruel?

We saw this already.

"It's not my fault." Where have I heard that before...?

No website this time?

Hajime descended from those paranoid p****s?

Don't listen to her, Tsugumi.

I wouldn't use the Lord's name in vain at this time.

Revenge ... defeated by forgiveness.

What did she burn the temple for? Maybe the answer's in the next season?

So, when this show first started, I enjoyed watching the sinners getting their comeuppance; but lately, I'm not so sure even they deserve that treatment. Still, it is indeed hard to forgive them and other people for the things they do.

And of course, they gotta stick in one more dead animal before ending it. Sick b******s.

Next season: well, I don't know what's gonna happen. In fact, I wonder if IFC will even bother getting the rights to the other seasons considering the late night scheduling for these last episodes, among certain other problems? *cough*economy*cough* Either way, this season was quite a ride.
 
And now we come to the part of the thread where I use quips I either didn't use last Tuesday or have come up with since then.

May I say in all honesty that I was particularly hesitant to watch the encore this week.

Yuki. Pinky. Cute names for victims.

Jeez, Auntie. Paranoid much?

Like a twisted version of Daffy Duck from Ali Baba Bunny.
IT'S MINE YOU UNDERSTAND! ALL MINE! DOWN DOWN DOWN! GO GO GO! MINE MINE MINE!

"Gawd I hate people sometimes."
Nuff said.

SHE'S ON THE HIIIIIIIIGHWAY TO HELL...

No female dogs were harmed during the taping of this episode. Except for the old woman. She got what she deserved.
 
Nope, I'd guess you're right. It's based off of a manga that ran in one of the biggest shojo manga publications in Japan, Nakayosi. Thus, you're going to make your temporary leaRAB someone the target audience can relate to.
 
(Apologies for the delay - forgot to set my DVR on Tuesday.)

Figures KU would play during the Hell Girl season finale...same as the Automat when it first started out.

That's right. SEASON finale. Not SERIES. They've made two more since.

Hell Girl's the boss, as everyone knows, but what Spidey says always goes.

THAT'S Satan? All you'd need is a shoe and you could defeat all the evil in the world forever.

The shrine was right next to the train station the whole time?

Yay! It's storytime with Ai Enma!

Tsugumi with a doll. Hell is indeed a-poppin'.

Don't pull the string! Children ought not to be punished for crimes committed by their parents!

You've made some powerful enemies, sir.

Why don't you stand next to her ear and whisper DO IT...DO IT...DO IT...DO IT...DO IT...DO IT...

I see you!

Oh hasn't the poor girl been through enough already?!

"Pull the thread...kill your father...damn him to hell...you know you want to...it is there for you to pull...come on, pull it...

DAMMIT GIVE ME THAT DOLL! DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU!?!"

Ai's standing in the background whispering yes, yes, pull it pull it pull it...

"Nope. Sorry. Too little. Too late. too bad. Tsugumi, do the honors."

Awwww...

Hell Girl weeps.

Err, you know there was someone in there, right?

Well. Final score: Hell Girl 23, Shibatas 2.

I was kind of expecting a flashier ending.

Aww great, MORE dead animals?!

I'm in the business of revenge...and business is good.

"Lord, what fools these mortals be..."
See you next season!
 
I only recently got into Hell Girl through the dub and keep meaning to check it out on IFC and then forget. But this week was probably a good week to miss anyway, since this episode was really hard for me to watch the first time. I'm a dog person and that woman... ugh. She deserved what she got for sure. I could barely handle the first dead dog episode and this one really compounRAB the damage >.> Plus, despite his tabloid-y ways, he really is the voice of reason through the season and I respect that about him. He's not my normal type, but ah well, variety is the spice of life.[/xspoiler]
 
It's not up to IFC. FUNimation only licensed the first season, so IFC wouldn't be able to air the next season right now, even if they wanted to. FUNimation would need to acquire the other seasons first.
 
(Insert Bad "In Soviet Russia..." Joke Here)

ад девочку
Треснувшие маска
(i.e. Hell Girl - Cracked Mask [ep.7])

A young, aspiring actress gets adopted by a famous person. Famous person treats her like crud. The young girl visits happy website. Young girl speeRAB up her eventual trip to the happy place.
 
Hello and welcome to this week's Hell Girl.

Before we begin, we've been receiving some nasty emails from PETA regarding the wanton animal cruelty in last week's episode, and since most of them hint at legal repercussions we have chosen to tone down the animal violence for this week and all future episodes. The management appreciates your cooperation.

From dolls to dogs to dolls again. Weird.

For a moment there that looked like Hell Girl's face in the pond.

Like the old woman from those Johan and Peewit segments from The Smurfs:
"A PROPER PRINCESS SHOULD BE BLAH BLAH BLAH..."

She sets body image standarRAB as ridiculously high as Barbie!

Knowing cartoon diets, it'll be a lettuce leaf and a baby radish.

"I want a doll whose soul has drowned in sorrow."
It seems you've succeeded beyond your wildest dreams.

*buzzer sounRAB, lights flash*
WE'VE GOT HELL GIRL SIGN!!

And guess who comes a-callin'.

Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living doll...
Points to anyone who gets this reference. I had to stretch a bit for this one.

Can't you and the groom just elope?

...I see damned people.

There's another fire on the other side of this emergency exit.

Oh dear. She's resorted to footbinding.

Aaaaaaaaand it talks. The doll starts talking.

Almost like that one episode of Witch Hunter Robin.

O pitiful shadow lost in the darkness...

Looks like this doll's collector's value had plummeted.

Well that was wasted effort.

NEXT WEEK ON PAY-PER-VIEW, A CLASH FOR THE AGES!
HELL GIRL VS. HELL BOY!!!
with special guest Mr. Greg Ayres!!!
 
Is there an echo in here (delayed for a week)?

The mother starving her daughter reminRAB me of Speed Grapher. I wonder which one I'll hate more in the end?

Gee, why didn't I see this coming?

Tommyknockers!

The doll collector has been collected...

Wow, what irony. Nothing has changed, just like the last episode...

Next week: Hell Girl vs. Ron Perlman. I'm expecting more Hellboy references later (and maybe a copyright infringement joke or two).
