Premiering on Animax East Asia this 24 October: Girl from Hell AKA Jigoku Shoujo, a hellish horror suspense anime series that sounds absolutely delish—or at least, that's the vibe—shiver more like—that ahm' gettin' from the synopsis Animax emailed me.Here's the culprit promo copy:Urban legend has it that if you post your grudge on a mysterious website at the stroke of midnight, Enma Ai - also known as the "Girl From Hell" - will offer you a straw doll with a red string around its neck. Simply untie the string and she will punish your tormentor by dragging him/her into Hell. But only if you first agree to her terms: that you too shall spend eternity suffering in Hell after you die...(from the Animax Rave September 2006 newsletter, but the tongue-in-cheek link was added by yours truly ^^)Jigoku Shoujo, based on the manga by Etoo Miyuki-sensei, airs first in Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia (2234 hours JKT/BKK, 2334 hours SIN); the Philippine premiere coincides with Halloween (31 October, 2334 hours). Oooh, the latter's whacha call opportune timing ^^ The 26-ep series finished airing in Japan early April this year.To recap:Girl from Hell (Jigoku Shoujo) on Animax24 October 2006: 2334 hours (SIN) | 2234 hours (JKT/BKK)31 October 2006: 2334 hours (PHIL)~nik who's getting the willies, despite herselfPS.
