Holy crap... I never thought I'd cry on a GabDrop episode without it being from laughter... the feels man, a splendidly executed episode, it's as if the whole season was just a prologue in order to deliver this short but beautiful story T_T 10/10

I have to say, these two specials left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. It's nice to see that people are mainly enjoying these extras, but boy am I glad they kept fan service and this kind of cheap throwaway character drama out of the main series.

I'm actually finding it hard to believe that these from the original source material. They felt so out of place!

That was wonderful. Kinda awkward that i scored the ova higher than the original series. This really gives it closure, gabriel saying that she is a fallen angel anyway, also the scene from the op was in that episode. Saying that, this really grew my appetite for season 2, but its not likely isnt it? :(

I like that this one was a special, it was really good but would have felt out of place in the main series. The overall tone was different towards the end which was cued in by the last leaf coming off that tree, but none of the behaviour was particularly out of character. Gab has been a screw the rules I'd rather do what I like type of character since arriving in the human world, but not particularly callous or cruel, and of the four Raphi is most likely to adhere to rules so it made sense

Definitely glad I watched the specials now

Emotional episode. Gab may be a fallen angel, but she still has a big heart. Risked punishment to save a blind girl, what more can you ask for?

I'm sure Satania would have cured the girl if she had the power to do so. Unfortunately, she is not yet an archdemon.

Wow, totally didn't expect them to end this show with such an emotional episode. Way more serious than the ones before. But it was really well made as well, when Satania and Vigne cried I couldn't hold back some of my tears as well. Great episode and a great ending for this amazing show.

A bit of a tearjerker, but they are angels and there had to be one of those episode at some point. I just wonder what the demon equivalent to this would be, given the fact that it's the japanese interpretation of western heaven and hell. Probably something with fertility or punishment or something like that...

Meh episode. Didn’t really feel realistic. I mean just the fact that they suddenly tried to throw drama and emotional stuff in a comedy.. kinda disappointed because I didn’t get into it and it felt rushed.

I didn't like the series and the first special at all but this one was better than all that wtf man

Like, I found this one a little tryhard in trying to make you feel sad about a character you just met, and the tone was a little different than the one in the series, but thankfully it didn't derail that much from the series, and ended in a fine way, that also fits with the main series; also seeing the characters acting in a slightly more sensible and kind manner was fine for a change.

I liked this one

Best episode of Gab Drop

Dunno why the girl didn't remember Gab as the end as her friend. She was psuedo blind at the time so I guess she just didn't recognize her face?


One of Gab's punishments was that the blind girl forgot ever meeting her.

What the heck, these two were some of the best anime specials/ovas/extra episodes I've ever seen. I watched the show when it was airing in 2017, so I had forgotten just how good Gab Dropout is and these two mini episodes were strong as heck. The second episode really caught me off guard with how sweet it was, got me in the feels.

This episode felt so much different compared to the rest of the anime which is an approach executed very well and it's welcome. I nearly cried!

Didn't knew there were special episodes. Or I guess I knew, I was just saving them for later. I knew it thanks to a meme saying "when the comedy anime becomes sentimental" or something along those lines.

First episode felt like a standard episode (which isn't bad), but shorter. I'd say "extra" is a more appropriate word than "special." Still, it's a good episode. Putting this here since this section is quite short anyway.

The final episode has some "season finale" feel to it. I think it's quite "standard" for comedic or slice of life anime to sneak in drama once in a while, or at least an episode where they do something different.

Someone pointed out how Gabriel has more development in this 15 minute special than in the first half of the first season. And yeah, I agree, lol. While she's not my favourite character in the show itself, she's one of my favourite "jerk with a heart of gold" characters in anime thanks to her having moments like these. I get that some people find the jerk in comedies to be funny. But you know, I want some nuance. It doesn't have to be a lot.

Kind of feels weird that it's Gabriel that healed the blind girl. I mean, she's the only angel with the guts to break major rules like that, and she's the main character. Dunno how to describe this feeling, maybe I just wish the other girls had development like this that isn't just jokes. Still, good for her. More developments like this, please!

I was low-key expecting these specials to explore the whole "Satania sneaking to Heaven" arc they've hinted back in the first season. I mean, not really. It's just two 15 minute specials, and the moment the first one showed that they'd be going to the hot springs, I knew it wasn't going to happen.

Welp, this show seems like it has a few things to pick up if ever it's 2nd season happens.

This series would have been so much better had the blind girl been a recurring character with the 2nd OVA being expanded and made into the final episode. Instead she's an unnamed animé only character in a throwaway 15 minute OVA special. Unless Ukami-sensei created the character themselves then there was never really a chance of anything more though. Also unless Ukami-sensei created the character, this is a rare (for me) example of an animé studio successfully creating an original character for a series that greatly improved (or would have) the series. This girl deserved better.

What a sweet bunch for comforting the girl for her pre-surgery. That's why I love this show and its characters. But moreover, Gabriel taking punishment to heal the girl was more commendable than anything else.

Good character development for Gab here, giving her something to care about changed her behavior.

There was also a nice little bit of clarity for Satania with "If only I was an arch-demon", showing ... she knows.

Feels were unexpected but welcome, a nice tear jerker type anime episode.
