Default December 17 (5M^_^: Five-Minute Hell Girl)

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain -- Five-Minute Anime continues! Today we have not just a new fiver, but a whole new kind of fiver. I've recently become a huge fan of Jigoku Shoujo, a.k.a. Hell Girl. It's a supernatural show with a fascinating premise that reminds me of The Ring. The art and music are gorgeous. A box set of the first season with English dub recently came out, so I highly recommend taking a look.

That said, the show can be a little... formulaic. It's always worth watching, but the anthology format lends itself to repetition. How much repetition? This much repetition:

Five-Minute Hell Girl: any episode

(Yes, I know none of you have ever watched it. Indulge me. It's my birthday.)
