About Hell Girl
Ai Enma runs the Hell Correspondence, a midnight website where tormented people can send their enemies to Hell at the price of their own afterlife. Studio Deen told her story across four anime seasons from 2005 to 2017, and the seasons are episodic enough that release order is the only order you need.
Good to know
The fourth season, The Fourth Twilight, pairs six new episodes about Ai's successor Michiru with six rebroadcasts from earlier seasons, so skip the second half if you watched straight through. The 12-episode live-action drama from 2006 and the 2019 film are separate retellings and both optional.
