Aided by his young daughter, Tsugumi, who has a mysterious connection to Ai, he tries to convince users of the Hell Correspondence not to complete the contract, generally making bad situations worse through his meddling. The second season picks up a few years after the conclusion of the first season, and continues the established formula minus Hajime and co.
This season swaps out the Black-and-White Morality found in most of the first season cases for a Black-and-Gray Morality , in which neither antagonist nor victim is really in the right. The third season switches up the formula a third time, introducing a new third angle to the standard format, this time in the form of Yuzuki Mikage, who, through interactions with the victims and Ai's associates, is given the rare opportunity to watch her hometown and her entire life crumble around her courtesy of the Hell Correspondence.
Amazingly enough, it goes further downhill from there. The series as a whole is mainly a social commentary, using the Hell Correspondence as a tool to analyze and deconstruct the less appealing aspects of Japanese culture and society there's even a Nice Boat -inspired episode in Mitsuganae.
While many themes are universal, Values Dissonance means some storylines like Mitsuganae 's Wham Episode are inevitably lost in translation. More reviews Reviews. Feb 22, Overall Rating : 9.
