My Grade: A

Well, I was looking for a good horror series to watch because I wanted a little variety of anime I watched. I ran across this one because I heard it was a really good horror anime to watch. I watched it and loved it! ^-^

Now, most horror genre things usually have cruel killing and some very scary images too. This one doesn't do it that much. Actually, some things are a bit laughable in the series. Anyways, the series takes you into a numerous amount of everyday life situations, which helps you kinda get a feeling into the story. It's really realistic. This series digs deep into the lives of the people and boggles your mind on who's good or not. Every episode sends at least one character to Hell, whether they be bad or good. This series has a lot of surprising twists and brings the term of evil to a new level.

Basic Story:

Do you desire Vengeance upon your enemies? Access the Hell Correspondence Website at Midnight. Type in the Name of your Enemy and click Enter. Hell Girl will come to you with a Straw Doll with a Red String tied around its Neck. Pull the String to send your Protagonist directly to Hell.
BUT!!! "When one person is cursed, two graves are dug."
If you send them directly to Hell, you will also end up in Hell as well... that is only after you die.

What is your choice? Does your anger burn that greatly? Is your love for someone that strong? Is it really worth it? Make your Choice. Pull the String or Not?

While searching around the internet for a new anime series to watch, I stumbled upon this series. After watching a trailer for the 1st episode for this anime, I got interested in it and started to watch it. It is now my 2nd most favorite anime series. This series is unique because its episodes are in the forms of movies. Make sure to have some popcorn or snacks while watching these because they range from the times 40 minutes - 2 hours.

Now, I'd like to say it really keeps its title of being a mystery series because the episodes actually skip from one time period to another, but all are crucial to the story. At the beginning and the end of the episodes they always state the title of the episode and the date it takes place. If you are watching this series, make sure you know the episodes chronologically so you don't lose your place. This series is full of suspense and spectacular battle scenes. It is a recommended series for those who love a good mystery and action.
(Warning: This series has blood and gore, nudity, and cruel violence.)
(Recommended for audiences 16+)

Basic Story:
This story revolves around Ryougi Shiki. After an accident two years ago, she has been able to see the very fabrication of life, the Lines of Death, in all of creation. Armed with a knife able to sever these lines, Shiki hunts down monsters and lives at the border of the natural world and the supernatural world.
