unlike Umaru who is annoyingly funny and cute, Gabriel is just straight up annoying asshole and piece of shit, boring and not even funny, especially with her terrible LOW ENERGY!!! monotone voice. she is only funny in ep.1

same can be said with Raphiel, their joke-intended actions are just so cringeworthy to watch

Vigne is good character in cute girls doing cute things anime, but this is comedy-focused anime....



Don't worry, you're not alone in thinking this.
I think Gabriel drags this show down due to her zero redeeming qualities. At least Umaru had the decency to try hard at school to fulfill her social obligations and is genuinely nice to most people.

I think you're hitting too close to home here though with the criticism. A lot of anime watchers are otaku with hikikomori tendencies like Gab. Swap her gender, and you practically have the average otaku. I say that because I can relate to Gab's compulsions, being an antisocial gamer myself.

What I can't relate to though, is the fact that she doesn't have to worry for her own future (being an angel an' all), thereby shirking the responsibilities of ever having to look for work, and adapting to a society that condemns the antisocial personality types. This is a struggle that most introverted people have to overcome at some point in teenage to adult life.

That said, its a comedy show at the end of the day, and everyone elses personalities are actually just as one dimensional, so I can't fault peeps for liking Gab's dry humor.

one dimensional character + cliche ,repetitive and formulaic joke = failure comedy, this is even worse than Kill Me Baby!

Now in MAL seems,insulting latest anime season is become a tradition
by some anime fanbase, when they sitting on toplist
The fanbase always make bait threads
Im even not surprise because this always happen
Seem to be other biggest fanbase,is planning to keep they anime is always on top score,they are invasive
Just look when some latest anime become popular
They will doing like this,again and again
And they even no have respect to someone work
When the anime studio is work hard for they latest anime
But what we found here is a discrimination

Community opinion does'nt affected to me ,,,i just believe what i see with my own eyes!

Gabriel has nothing on Jibril. Sexy lewd devoted Jibril tops lazy NEET social phobe Gab for me..but she serves her purpose in the anime. I don't like Gab but she allows me to see how damned cute *see what I did there huhuh* Vignette is.

The way Gabriel acts reminds me of myself and my friends.perhaps not every part of her but bits of her. im lazy as hell and theres always that one guy begging to see your homework so i find it relatable

Disagreed. Every character has its moments. Vigne is the least funny on her own, because she can only play the tsukkomi role well.

I don't watch as much anime as before...

Please, that's not even a question. Jibril is 100000 times better, and she has a better design too.

Both Umaru and Gab are pieces of shit tho, Gab only takes it to the extreme while Umaru's on the cute side with her chibi shit going on.
I find Gab funnier nonetheless, Umaru's just... not my cup of comedy.
good analysis on these 2 animes

But there is no romance between Umaru and Taihei


Yet. But Umaru clearly have feeling towards his brother. Just like Kirino's had.

Seriously, without inaugural incest and relationship with his brother this is an anime about nothing and towards nowhere...

LoL, Why?? Where is the freedom of creation? Why nobody started a petition against the censorenship? I can imagine what would happen if they do this with gays...


Lol because being gay ain't illegal?? There are moral AND genetic reasons why Incest is illegal and not recommended. But sure, cry about censorship...


Re: Gabriel, I would have to disagree. I like her piece of shit nature. It's Raphiel that is getting on my tits...
there are 77 countries where homosexuality is illegal

Agreed on Gabriel. Literally no redeemable qualities whatsoever. The rest of the cast is OK though.

Even though this forum was posted in 2017, It's still atrocious.
