The angel Gabriel who graduated at the top of her class descends upon Earth to learn about humans and complete her angel training. Various things happen, and life on Earth quickly turns this honors student into a slob who skips school to play online games.



Gabriel White Tenma (CV: Tomita Miyu) is addicted to games. In danger of being sent back to heaven if she misses too much school. Once a ray of hope for heaven's armies, now a fallen angel.
Vignette April Tsukinose (CV: Ōnishi Saori) a devil from Hell who takes care of Gabriel as her friend. A doting, serious girl who can't ignore troubled souls.
Satanichia McDowell Kurumizawa (CV: Ōzora Naomi) is a devil with aspirations of ruling Hell. A chuuni who wants to terrify others with evil act but ends up being the butt of the joke, usually due to Gabriel's misdeeds or Raphiel's bullying.
Raphiel Ainsworth Shiraha (CV: Hanazawa Kana) is a virtuous-seeming angel with sadistic tendencies. Love to tease stupid devils. Is voiced by HanaKana.



It's Gabriel Dropout! Please discuss.

The devil's are a lot cooler than the angels.

Gabe's good. The fate of the entire world teeters every time her raid wipes.

Well, so far Gabriel has done the following to Satan: punched her in the gut, flattened her with a door, smashed her head with a baseball bat.

The angels are not particularly sympathetic here.

I want to bully a Satan too, so actually...

The "throw a homer" one was what got me, especially because they say it like three times.

yeah that line was a miss for me because who says that? overall though, if I know what's being said in the japanese of a given line, then I think the TL of that line is, by nature, not meant for me.. I think the english script does a fine job of, as a tweet I saw put it, eliciting the same response without trying to translate the japanese literally. it's real cheesy which is sometimes a groaner and sometimes makes me giggle, like this one where the japanese is just "sasuga vigne" but the english script picks up on the visual gag and runs with it

I think there can be an argument for the overall localized tone of the show being supported by ongoing dialogue gags like that. It reminds me of Disgaea's localization, especially if you're reading it alongside JP audio

Consider that Gabriel was the top student in Heaven before she met and was spoiled by Vigne.

Nobuyuki Mitani is quitting the studio and anime altogether for the foreseeable future . . . Mitani had been one of Dogakobo’s strongest animators for many years, not only through his skillful cartoony approach but also due to his inventiveness – he would come up with sequences like this that weren’t originally in the storyboard.

Gabe is a good girl and an angel. That's the whole point of the closer for like every episode!! And the last line of the OP.

I think all of the girls have quirks as well as ways of keeping each other in check which is why it ends up a balanced cast.

That little montage showing how Gab hasn't grown or changed at all didn't do the final episode any favors, but it was still a fun ep. Fun show, not great.

maybe angels are eternal bcause they dont grow. makes u think

crunchyroll just kind of randomly picks up OVAs when possible. it's not something you can gauge easily so just hit up your friends at nyaa. or buy the BDs!
