Jigoku no Hate made Tsureteiku (2025)

So bad I had to keep watching until the end

After the second episode, I thought this was terrible. I just kept on watching to see if it would get any worse.

I was not disappointed...

Lots of things make no sense at all. If you try to analyze the situations and the characters' actions, you might end up asking yourself stuff like: "Why didn't she just ... ", "How come did he ... ?" or simply "WTF?"
Don't let logic get in the way and just enjoy the ride.

Acting is at the same level. I don't know if prefer the "deer caught in the headlights" look of the good FL, or the "scary face / giggle" of the evil one.

I hope there won't be a sequel or I will probably have to watch it too.

Not entirely terrible...but still bad

So...I didn't have any high expectations for this series. It's just that I like Sasaki Nozomi , watched some movies with her( for example Ju-On Beginning of the end), and subscribed to her instagram. And there I saw reels with her new thriller, and based on those reels it seemed pretty interesting. Well..unfortunately it wasn't.

First problem - the story. The beginning was alright. In fact, I actually liked scenes with main heroine's past. But already in episode 2 strange, stupid moments started to appear, and with each episode story was becoming more and more stupid. Then, something strange happened - I actually liked episodes 9 and 10...but the final episode ruined everything. Character's actions were stupid, illogical and the ending itself... well, it's not terrible, even has possibility for season 2, but also it may be considered a bit open-ended and finished. But if we talk about story in general, then it's bad. Mostly because of the "plan", which main heroine had. Because in fact, her plan is garbage, it's terrible...and her actions in the final episode, with main villain...what the hell was that?

Second problem - acting. For the most part, it's bad. Like...really bad. I like Sasaki Nozomi, she's a beautiful woman, but her acting here was terrible. Shibuya Nagisa played the main villain, and her acting...for the most part was cringy and bad. But there were few good scenes with her, that's why I think that her acting is bad because of the screenplay, because there few scenes, where she was creepy..in a good way. Other actors were also not really good, Makoto was mediocre. The only person with good acting here is Yanagi Yurina. Her acting is not mind-blowing, but it's good, probably the best among other actors. Unfortunately her screen time is very small. Oh, and the actress who played main heroine in high school, also was pretty good. But that's it.

I'm giving this series a 5 score, because episodes were really short, around 17-20 minutes each. And it wasn't like a big waste of time for me. If the episodes were longer, like 45-60 minutes, then I would rate is with 4. There are some good moments in this series, but for the most part it's bad.
