This anime tells a story about angel and demon. They're actually living here on earth, blending with us all learning about human behaviour. Your first thought may be angel vs demon battle stuff, but no. Note how I write it as angel and demon but not vs, because this is a fell good cute girls doing cute thing anime. Everyone might have a little grunts here and there, but overall its just funny moments on top of funny moments. They really nail the comedy genre because I always catch myself laughing on every episode.
The story itself is almost non existent. You just need to watch the first episode, which is the premise, and then you can decide if this is good or not. From that point onward, every episode isn't connected at all. As far as I remember, there is only two episode connected with e…

First, let me say that this anime is not good. That’s right, it’s not good. Yes, it features one of the best characters in all anime, Satanichia Kurumizawa McDowell, a genius archdemon who controls the show every time she’s on screen with her absolutely demonic deeds and nefarious exploits. But then you have the other characters. While Satanichia Kurumizawa McDowell excels in every scene she’s in, you also have Raphiel, one of the absolute worst characters I have ever seen. What is her trait? That she’s a sadist? That’s it? Yes, that’s it. She likes to see others suffering, including Satanichia Kurumizawa McDowell. She never does anything amusing, heartwarming, or cute. She just disrespects Satanichia Kurumizawa McDowell, forces her way into her home, or tries to trick her as if she were a…

Im not a huge fan of this anime. All of the episodes are just repeat recycle.
This anime just only about Angels are threats and Devils are peaceful.
The only character i considered being the best is Vignette. Gabriel is basically Umaru without chibi transformation, Satania is honestly trying to be the intimidating one, but becomes boring if you look at her in a different perspective point of view, Raphiel is the same as Gabriel when it comes to making fun of Satania, but does better in academics than a lazy angel like Gabriel. I lonly like the anime’s art style, on-par with other animes. It gets boring when you watch it further on. Again, the episodes are just the same with different visuals. Same kind of behaviour, and bullying. As much as I try to adore the sounds, the OP and ED is ok,…

Gabriel Dropout at first caught my attention due to me delving deeper into comedy and CGDCT (Cute girls doing cute things) animes. Having seen New Game! which is another offspring of the studio Doga Kobo, gave me the feeling that this anime might also be promising, so I gave it a try. I am sorry to say I felt utterly let down even while not having many expectations.
Art & Sound:
The peculiar and noticable art of Doga Kobo is something I personally like due to the cutesy characters, its vividity and it doing a good job at conveying the emotions it wishes, so artwise I can't really complain.
Concerning the sound, the OP and ED were fitting, but I can't physically strain my brain enough to remember a moment where BGM would have been all that impactful, then again, this is a comedy so its no…

Gabriel Dropout is a moe comedy that executes its jokes quite well. I'd say it's certainly earned its position as one of the best in this genre.
The general premise is that demons and angels are sent to earth to go to school. This anime creates plenty of comedy by role reversing the characters. Gabriel starts out as one of the best angels but discovers MMOs and becomes a shut-in. Vigne is a devil but she is so well behaved and preppy that everyone's always commenting on how she's not a very good demon. And so-on.
The characters are quite memorable. I liked Satania's gimmick of being a tryhard demon that is always making mistakes and being the butt of jokes. This is a character-driven comedy and what it lacks in plot progression it makes up for in fleshing out the characters. It's more or…

Gabriel DropOut is a series you will hear praises sung for due to its take on comedy and unabashedly moe characters as the angels and demons enter the human world and interact with each other with their role reversed personalities.
It starts out fun but once it settles into a rhythm it refuses to let up to show even the slightest development in either story nor character.
Story: 5/10
Gabriel is an angel that graduated at the top of her class in heaven and she and her classmates enter the human world to learn more about humans, while there she discovers MMO games and quickly becomes a lazy shut in that refuses to do her duties as an angel. She's accompanied by the role reversed cast of angels and demons and the series follows them around in their exploits.
Art: 8/10

Gabriel Dropout is a hilarious anime that didn't disappoint my expectations at all. [Minor Spoilers]
STORY: 8/10
The story follows Gabriel as she settles on Earth and each transforms in her own unique way. She becomes sentient to her own angelic kind and fully indulges in the guilty pleasures of human life (and laziness). Her friends aren't much better despite differing from each other. Their escapades are hilarious to watch and their interactions even more so. Their friendships click without the viewer even noticing and before they know it the characters are already heavily invested in each other.
The comedy is golden with its fair share of running gags and hilarious moments. Much of why these moments are hilarious I'll explain in the next section, but I can easily say that the show doe…

I honestly have no clue why the rating for this anime is so low. Guess ratings really don't matter, I've seen an anime rated around 8.7 and I enjoyed Gabriel Dropout way more than said anime. I spent a lot of time deciding whether or not I would even watch this anime, and I'm glad I eventually decided to. One factor as to why I eventually watched was because I wanted to understand memes with Satania in it- later on that in the Character section of my review...
Story: 8/10
This I would give an 8, simply because in a lot of these 12-episode series there isn't really a plot. Its more so just a jumble of events which don't really lead to one another in any way. I'm not against that, I just think to deserve anything higher than an 8 there has to exist some kind of flowing plot line which Gabr…

I wish I watched Gabriel Dropout sooner, because it was basically a comedy show. Each episode was full of laughs and although it got a bit more serious in the last few episodes, there were still scenes that were worthy of laughing at.
In terms of story there wasn't much in the way of story development the anime is more for the shits and giggles than the story IMO. In summary, the story revolves around Gabriel, Raphiel, Vignette and Satania and their interactions+struggles with the people around them and each other.
Animation wise is nothing too special. It's decent especially the animation of heaven and the character design of the angels and demons.
Music is also quite decent I like the ending sounds pretty groovy.
The core of the anime is about the characters and how they grow or in…

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Then he created the sky and the land and all these other things we have now. And God saw that we became creatures of sheer laziness who get bored easily so he said, Let there be Gabriel DropOut: and there was Gabriel DropOut. And all's right in the world.
Oh, but during the process, clumsy God accidentally reversed the biblical archetype when the angels turned demonic and the demons turned angelic. Yes, you heard that right. He somehow stuffed up! The angels are now in need of some heavenly rehabilitation while the demons are, well... they need to learn how to be hellish again I guess. But if you're wondering, I think this change is pretty nice. In fact, it actually succeeds in…

Pros
- The story is simple, relatable, and fun
- A lot of funny facial expression that will make you laugh
- Each character is unique in their own way, but they can befriend each other, which is fun
- Character's voice match their personality very well. U know, like how silly character got silly voice
- Good to watch after long day of school or work to refresh your mind
- Creative way of handling censorship
- Funny Religion jokes that I really appreciate because it's hard to make a joke about Religion. This one is funny and inoffensive (In my opinion)
Cons
- Need more character explanation since I think it's good to know more about their past so that we can understand each of them better

While I was looking for anime to binge watch for my summer break, I stumbled upon this show. When I first read the synopsis, I didn't expect much at all. It only looked like a comedy anime that revolved around cute girls doing cute things. However, I ended up watching Gabriel Dropout anyway since I had nothing else to do. That was a decision I don't regret making.

Well, the thing is, there is no actual story.
In the first episode, we are to introduced to the main character, Gabriel, who is graduating to become a full-fledged angel, and is apparently the top angel in their class. As a final test for all the future angels, they are to attend high school in the human world to closely observe humans. Many people placed their hopes and trust in Gabriel, telling her that they knew th…

Gabriel DropOut has an interesting premise and does an ok job to compete on the moe comedy genre. However the noteworth good observations stops there.
Story 4/10
The peak of the comedic value is around ep.4, while the first 3 will either infuriate you or just be boring, and the rest of the series continues in a spiral of increasing levels of boring.
Characters 3/10
Opening plot introduces Gabriel, a once righteous angel who turns into a lazy slob after discovering video games on Earth where she is attending high school. Then we are slowly introduced to the rest of the cast. Oh the rest of the cast... probably the most stereotypical characters (except for 1, which has a few more interesting qualities)
To sum up, we have an angel bully who picks on a thickhead demon loner, a demon who is…

Angels and Demons living together...MASS HYSTERIA!...hysteria indeed.
For a concept of angels being utter hellion demons to demons being the most angelic (or chunni) beings, put both of them together and see how they interact is a great premise and sure this comedy anime has it's share of problems but what makes this comedy anime stand out is it's characters...especially one that makes this anime all worth while.
With Gabriel DropOut characters, we have...Gabriel Tenma White the titular character voiced by Miyu Tomita who was the best angel in heaven until MMORPG's corrupted her and she became a lazy NEET angel. Next is Vignette Tsukinose April voiced by Saori Oonishi, a strict yet orderly demon and is the tsukommi to Gabriel's boke, but mostly tries to keep everyone in line. Raphiel Shi…

There are two ways I look at Gabriel DropOut. One is as a CGDCT anime and the other is as a comedy. While the two usually go very well together I separate the two of them for a reason. As a CGDCT anime Gabriel DropOut is alright. Vinge and Satania are cute, and at least Gabriel has a cute design, even if her personality is annoying. However, as a comedy anime it is painful.
The biggest issue I have with Gabriel DropOut is that it's not funny. Many of the jokes all boil down to the same thing: "The angels act like demons and the demons act like angels." That's actually an interesting idea but the problem is it's not very funny. And it's certainly not funny enough to fill up 12 episodes. However, still the show likes to repeat this joke over and over and over and over again. That and Satani…

Gabriel Dropout was genuninly a nice surprise for me. Coming into this show with hardly any expectations whatsoever, I left feeling satisfied with a fun show with good comedy and a cast of characters that I actually liked by the end. This show doesn't do anything remarkable in terms of its narrative or characters but it remains a fun ride throughout, and the characters are both enjoyable enough, and their chemistry between each other feels natural enough to carry the weight of the show.
Gabriel Dropout is about a fallen angel named Gabriel, who visits Earth originally as a means of learning more about Earth culture (but only visits Japan to achieve this, ignoring all of the other hundreds of cultures but, hey whatever), but, as she becomes addicted to the world of online gaming, she falls…

What happens when you mix Himouto! Umaru-chan with angels and demons? Tenshi! Gabriel-chan. Witness main character Gabriel Tenma White’s fall from grace towards the clutches of one of humanity’s greatest evils: massively multiplayer online games! Gabriel DropOut is a fun, charming Slice of Life that follows the lives of two angels and two demons as they engage themselves in the bizarre world of mortal delights.

Doga Kobo might not be the absolute biggest name in the anime industry but if there is one thing they have truly made a name for themselves for, then it is their aptitude at making moe comedies. With an repertoire including the likes of Himouto Umaru-chan, New Game and of course the legendary Yuru Yuri among others, this is truly the studio's specialty. Adding to this lineup, this season we now have Gabriel DropOut, which once again showcases just how to make this genre shine at its very brightest.
Gabriel DropOut can briefly be described as role-reversed angels and demons turned moe. The story mainly follows two angels and two demons, who all end up moving from Heaven and Hell respectively to the human world upon starting high school. The catch is that the angels in question are a lot le…

If I learned something from watching Gabriel DropOut, is that going to hell is definitely the superior option. Get ready for this hilarious comedy that reverses the roles of angels and demons!
The story is simple but interesting due to the comedic setting it creates: our protagonist, Gabriel, was a kind, top tier angel who always helped others. However, after coming to Earth she developed an addiction to online videogames and became incredibly lazy. From there we meet other angels and demon with personalities that don't fit the standards we give to them, creating lots of great comedic situations playing around that. Going back to Gabriel, I love how much of an asshole she can be to the others, it's a fun twist to the happy and kind main protagonist we usually have in these type of stories…

Every now and then, I often go through a bucket list of things when deciding to pick up a new anime. Make no mistake, Gabriel Dropout’s list consists of some of the most generic tropes you’ll discover in anime. Does that automatically make the show unwatchable? Absolutely not. I mean, the show is like a soup with all sort of generic ingredients in it to bring out the flavor. However, it’s a show that can also be a delight for fans who wants to see some colorful entertainment.
On the surface, the series doesn’t really stand out much. It’s essentially about angels and demons who have descended to Earth to learn about humans and their life style. Main female protagonist Gabriel “Gab” graduated at the top of her class but upon landing on Earth, she becomes a lazy hikikomori who is more intere…
