After a number of teasers thanks to the listings over in Japan, Kodansha's Nakayoshi magazine has finally confirmed that a new television anime for the Hell Girl (a.k.a. Jigoku Shoujo) franchise will arrive.
The project has already been green-lit for production, and it even has a working title released. The new season will be called Jigoku Shoujo Yoi no Togi. One point of concern from someone who has already seen the previous anime seasons.
For this one, there will be a total of 12-episode altogether. However, six of these will be ones while the others will be known as "reminiscence" episodes.
