Jigoku Shoujo, Part 2

So, the third season of Jigoku Shoujo has just started. Even though I've seen a few more episodes since the last time I blogged about it, I haven't finished the first season or found a definite answer to my question yet. If there are, say, 26 episodes per season, at the end of the third season we'll have 78 episodes. I wasn't willing to go through all of them without knowing whether my question will be answered: who would be stupid enough to gain temporary relief and pay it with eternal suffering?

So, I had to ask a person who has seen the first two seasons. My question isn't directly answered so far. However, there are so many examples, and they have one thing in common: they are so easily influenced by seemingly unsolvable problems and the impact of society's negative opinion on them. So, they consider hell to be "not too bad" as an option. It is the only reasonable answer, since not knowing how much they'll suffer or not being completely conscious of what they're doing is out of the question: the Enma gives them a preview of Hell and they are instantly shocked, and then she lets them think about it.

However, the series gives more interesting information, such as the Enma's past and future. I was suggested to watch the first 2-3 and the last 2-3 episodes of each season and read the rest of the plot summary on Wikipedia. And I guess I'll do this, since it looks like there's more interesting information to come, but I'm not enjoying its typical episodes: they are too dark and sick-minded for my taste.
