[82] Anime[edit] Critical reception[edit] Ali
Griffiths of Digital Spy described in his review of the series' premiere that Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku is one of the three series that makes up a group affectionately known as "dark trio of shōnen" by anime fans along with Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man due to their similar tone and themes, especially compared with their peppier peers. He praised its character-building, action, animation, visuals, humor, and the handling of Gabimaru's different versions of his story which tells about "how he's feeling and what he wishes he'd done differently". Ali felt that some fans might found that the opening episode of the series was a little slow, but stating that "the way it centers the backstory of its protagonist and immediately emphasises the relationship between Gabimaru and Sagiri is emblematic of the kind of character-first action show they're hoping it will be. "[83] MrAJCosplay of Anime News Network reviewed the first three episodes of the series. While praising the anime for its colors, sound design and animation, he considered Sagiri's character as "strong" and liked how she can see right through Gabimaru's façade. He felt that "her decision regarding walking down the path of an executioner and characterization as a stickler for the rules wasn't the direction he expected the show to go with her character. " Her introduction in episodes two and three was considered to be a "little inconsistent", although he stating that he needs more time to be won over by her compared to Gabimaru. He also said that Gabimaru is his favorite character, while he called the character's backstory as "sweet" due to the subversion of his mentality.
