The gags are starting to get old, this anime is slowly letting me more and more down since it began. Started out strong, but like I said, it's getting pretty redundant with its humour. There hasn't been any development whatsoever (which can absolutely exist in shows completely focused on comedy), and there's been nothing new introduced to spice things up. (The class prez was a small edition there, so hopefully she becomes more prominent. Will only disappoint me more if she's hardly/never seen again.)

That and Raphiel is a character archetype that I've simply never been able to appreciate. Her gags are the most repetitive of the bunch, and she seems to contribute the least in terms of any progression (in what little there is).

I'd share this on the reddit discussion but I'll just get downvoted by people who can't properly use the downvote feature, so here we are. At the rate the anime is going here it's only going to get a 6 or 7 from me at best. The only good thing I can really say about it so far is the ED is nice. (Which offsets how awful the OP is.)

And I'm not someone who starts watching these kinds of shows to always be let down by them. If you see my watch history and scoring history, you'll see that his type of anime is right up my alley. So it's really saying something when even I am having a hard time enjoying this.


I agree. I'm actually really starting to feel "over" this show. After an episode where my favorite character is in the title too! I dunno, I just don't see things changing and I'd like this show so much more if best-girl Satania wasn't constantly forced to play the butt monkey. :( Gabriel herself feels like Tomoko from Watamote without any of her sympathetic or likeable scenes. This doesn't even come close to comparing to Umaru. I'm honestly tempted to lower my score for this a bit.

The latest events themed Halloween, I saw no one was so funny like this, in the anime series. Even the first part is always modestly irreverent and fun. Raphi's character, begins to better integrate into the group.
I do not think I have a scene to be mentioned, because the whole episode was hilarious.

Best episode so far, The shogi, art class part and Satania's top class drawing was the best.

You know, I would understand if you were someone who didn't like to drop stuff, but you're not. So why the fuck are you still watching this if you hate it so much?

I agree with everyone who has said that the jokes and gags are getting repetitive and that there is no character development, but for some reason I still like this series... Cute characters can only get you so far, though.

Aaaahhhh poor Satania, shes a wonderful person but she is also pretty dang stupid unfortunately for her, but hey, she got a lot of attention this episode, more so than the character the show is named after. And the class rep has finally made a return if only for a short little segment.

I agree as well. Actually though, I didn't even like it that much at the beginning, but this episode in particular was so insanely predictable and repetitive. Satania may be cute, but she's very one-note. And even then she's the most interesting character that this series has to offer. Gabriel also gives me Tomoko vibes, except she completely lacks the irony and relatability of Tomoko's half-desire to make friends!

Though to be fair the shogi scene was creative enough, when they just made up rules as they went.

After watching this episode, now i'm sure Gabriel is the true evil, beware from netoge game minna :3

Till now i don't care about developement because this anime has comedy-centered. And the comedy value is highly above average. That's why i'm just laughing every moment
But the progression like gabriel has called back to heaven is always welcome

The shogi fight is intense and that 'cool' teacher is absolutely care about their student

Okay, I legit do not understand how someone could still be watching this if they don't enjoy the comedy. Like I could understand watching something like Erased or Re:Zero that has a running plot to critique but an episodic comedy like this isn't going to suddenly get better unless the writer changes.

Just to answer this, in my case I watch it when I want something light-hearted and I've already seen the other new episodes. I don't find it particularly funny, but it's better than not watching anything xD I've also had it play on the side while working. I don't hate it or anything, just thought I woulda liked to see it go a different direction than plenty of other series have done before, which makes it too predictable for my taste.

OMG! another hilarious episode!
This show is lifeless without Satania!
Satania is so gullible! and look what happened, on her own class she still keeps laughing eventhough she's gonna get whacked by the bald-sensei!
the middle part of this episode is: 3-gatsu no DropOut!
Iinchou is also cute!
LOL at Gab, still as usual no response from the trick or treat of the three!
Looks like Satanichia is a bit close to bald sensei!
LOL at the dog again snatched the limited edition melon pan that was supposedly for Satania!
5/5.

Aaand Satania stole the show again.

Poor Satania's revolver backfired (badum tss), but she was VERY cute. Bringing a revolver to school isn't a really good idea with all those school shootings out there, though.

I loved how Satania placed some pawns outside the board while playing shogi. So "evil" and silly! Gab and Raphi trolled her hard, though. I liked that shogi-football-basket-boxing(?)-RPG mix they made up.

Art class was very funny! Iinchou was very supportive when she did the chuuni poses so Satania could draw. The final outcome was hilariously bad. xD (Vigne's portrait of Gabriel was amazing. No wonder it got an award.)

I really liked the Halloween segment. Vigne wanting to dress Gab up was EXTREMELY cute! I loved the face she made! >//////<

I liked how the girls' teacher had Halloween sweets for them. He looks strict and scary, but he's a good guy. I wonder how he was aware of Satania's melon-pan love. (The dog ruined it again, though. I wonder if Satania will ever get to eat a melon-pan.)
