Jigoku Shoujo, known in English as Hell Girl, is a Japanese anime series that first aired in 2005 and follows Ai Enma, a mysterious girl who ferries the targets of revenge to Hell after they are summoned through the Hell Correspondence. Its dark, ritual-like atmosphere made its sounds instantly recognisable to anime fans, and clips of its bells have since circulated in fan edits, AMVs, and short-form videos. Editors still use them because the chime alone suggests fate, punishment, and a point of no return.
