Another FUNimation series is heading it’s way towards IFC. The Independent Film Channel announced today that it will premiering the first episode of Hell Girl this Thursday, July 3rd on IFC VOD (Video on Demand). Its Network Television Premiere is set later this year on October 3rd.
The synopsis for this haunting thriller is quite simple. There is a rumored site called http://hellcorrespondence.com that is inaccessible for most of the day. But if a person who seeks vengeance goes into the site at midnight, they will be asked to enter two names, their name and the name of who they want to damn to Hell. Soon after a girl named Ai Enma (Hell Girl) will visit the latter and will haunt them before taking their soul. The price however is a steep one. When the person seeking vengeance dies, their soul will be damned as well. This is not the first grim tale that IFC has picked up in their collaboration with FUNimation. In fact, titles such as Basilisk, Gunslinger Girl, and Witch Blade have been a part of their schedule for some time.
I’m posting a trailer of the series down below. You can also checkout the official Hell Girl website at http://www.funimation.com/hellgirl or call your local cable/satellite dish/network provider to see if you have IFC.
