| The gun skit was absolutely hilarious. As a 3-gatsu no Lion watcher, the shogi skit was also good xD Vigne is a top tier artist D: Satania cucked by dog AGAIN! |
| 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. |
| The best and worst of Satania in the episode. I knew straight away that Gab would get that gun one way or another. Satania's changing facial expressions when the teacher was coming were so funny. Loved the costume they had Gab wear. |

At least you're not as bad as Mr. Cross Ange fan. Anyways, this week's ep was better on the laughter scale than last week's. Sorry Tap, maybe next time. Can't wait till they get to the Heaven and Hell arc! |

So it's really saying something when even I am having a hard time enjoying this. the "joke" is way too formulaic and even the formula isn't funny to begin with (raphael annoying, satania idiot, gabirel bore fest, vigne is just not a comedy character) the best character are bald teacher and class president. just showing how bad the main casts are. |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
Ahegyao said: I dunno how you can say that when you enjoy Umaru and this is funnier. At least you're not as bad as Mr. Cross Ange fan. Umaru had some actual levels of progression as well as a steady flow of new characters, who then themselves became fleshed out and progressed. Just that point alone already puts that above this. It's not like I said I was ruling this out, I just said if it continues on the path it's been going so far it'll be disappointing. We're halfway through the season and so far the lazy character is still lazy, the sadistic character hasn't come up with anything actually original to toy around with, and the gullible character still hasn't gained any sense from being duped so many times. Vignette is probably the flattest of them all, purely there to be the occasional voice of reason so the other 3 don't get out of hand. I'm not saying these characters have to change like night and day. But if you're trying to rip on Umaru here, let's compare. As I said, so far the characters on display in Gabriel DropOut have not shown even the slightest sign of anything remotely close to development happening. Also, what you or I consider "funny" or not has next to nothing to do with this. When speaking of a comedy comparison between the two, I don't remember Umaru being nearly as repetitive and redundant as Gabriel has been so far. We've seen the gag of Gabriel being lazy and blunt, we've seen the gag of Satania being gullible and shameless with Raphiel getting off on it. I'm sure we can see better character dynamics than we have thus far. Let's see Vignette actually make some progress on Gabriel, even if it ends up backfiring. Maybe we can see some scenes between Vignette and Satania talking more about what they did in Hell, since we still no nothing about it. We still have another half-season to go, so I'm crossing my fingers that things get better. But so far it feels like we've seen 3 episodes worth of the same jokes in 6. |

Comedy doesn't have to have "development" for itself to be funny. Osomatsu-san and Mitsudomoe had very little of that yet still keeps its comedic stride. Shows like this strive for gags first, characters second. If the main group shifts into different personalities over time, then the series changes and they won't be recognizable for what made them funny in the first place. I've read the manga and there isn't anything of what you want that you got out of Umaru. If you're still looking for that then better cut your losses and drop this. |

Never said it had to, but it's certainly a bonus. Besides, that was only one of my two major points, the other point being that they're re-using the same jokes and same formula over and over again so far. The characters don't necessarily need to develop if the authors mix and blend their archetypes to create new and creative gags. Put the characters into unique situations or hurdles to overcome where their set personalities can shine a little more. Anyhow, I've said everything I've needed to say about it right now. I won't drop it, because a show has to be a 5 or below for me to consider dropping it. I'll just cross my fingers that we aren't delivered 6 more episodes of the same jokes we saw within the first 3. |
| Oh satania you always try but never succeed... still rooting for you girl. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| LOL, that drawing! I lost it XD! Also, Gabriel with the werecat costume was quite cute ;>. This episode had a lot of Satania, which made it even better XD. |
  |
| Anybody catch the Code Geass reference Satania made when they were playing Shogi? |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Starting to bother me how outright unlikable Gabriel is. I know that's part of the joke, but we're six episodes in and we've yet to see more than one point where she's actually appreciative of her friends (the other being right after the beach trip, and even that was limited). Some more, hopefully positive development would be nice. Poor Satania though... |
 |
| March Comes in Like a Dropout. Gab shooting Satanichi was classic. Not unexpected, but still great. The teacher is based, yet still Raphi's dog steals the special edition melon bread. |
| Bang. Laughter (from the gun's bullets) ensues. And she gets in trouble for it. Priceless. Shogi being mentioned while 3-gatsu is still airing is neat I guess. And art shenanigans. Still though, in that moment (and a few others) it felt like Satania's behavior causes her to be bullied. Chuunis are very exploitable. Cute halloween costumes too. |
| I swear, half the shit that happens to Satania is because of how fucking gullible she is. 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? |
 |
| Gabriel personality before: "My dream is to bring happiness to all people." Gabriel personality after: "Like, humanity can just go to hell and die, for all I care" HAHAHA XD. I really miss the old Gabriel . |
 |
| lol at Gabriel's merciless shot. Satania's uncontrollable laughing was extremely cute. xD The rules were so messed up that the shogi match suddenly became a Yu-Gi-Oh match. Melopan dog strikes again! Trick or dog. :P |
| Raphiel is always near Satanya because of the lols xD She knows that she will screw up ahaha That gun, Satanya almost had her revenge. Btw anyone noticed that Gintama reference? Hard-Boiled? xD I thought that teacher would simply go back and close the door xD Trick or dog xD |

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. |

| Raphiel is not even trollin' Satania anymore she's just being mean |
 |

|
| nice episode ... more satania is life ... their halloween costume is cute specially gabriel .. satania playing shogi is funny also |
 |
| 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. In some ways, this drawing reminds me so much anime series, Nichijou. XD |
 |
| Hell has answered my prayers for a Satania-centric episode |
 |
| Best episode so far, The shogi, art class part and Satania's top class drawing was the best. yhunata said: I swear, half the shit that happens to Satania is because of how fucking gullible she is. 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? Because he's a shitposter and therefore shouldn't take his posts seriously. |
 |
| Sign..............This is starting to get boring and I'm starting to get annoyed with Satanica. Halloween in Japan and done in the daytime, seriously, do them Japs even do that kind of thing? |
| Satanya truly is something else... Another example why idiots and guns don't mingle well. I rather liked the Halloween segment as well, Gabriel as a werecat was surprisingly cute. |
| One of the best episodes so far. I lost it at that game of Shogi. |
| 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. |
 What's the difference? |
Sorry, then from where it is? Since the firs time i've heard that was in Gintama. |

It's not from anywhere; merriam-webster said: Definition of hard–boiled 1 a : devoid of sentimentality : tough <a hard–boiled drill sergeant> b : of, relating to, or being a detective story featuring a tough unsentimental protagonist and a matter-of-fact attitude towards violence[/b] |
|
| 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. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Lol at the gun lol Omg that shogi game lol XD Trick or Dog lol |
| That's the closest to devilish of anything Vigne's done yet. Dressing up Gabriel against her permission. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Satania finally became the protagonist. It was about time. Also, these Halloween costumes were super adorable. |
| Best episode so far, everything we've been waiting for. That costume is kind of cute on gabriel. Watching the "intense" shogi match and i don't know who's laughing more, me or satania after being shot by that gun |
 |
| Really fun episode! Satania with the gun was the best part! All the girls looked so cute in those costumes. |
| Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's. Noragami is the best anime ever.  |
That was an intense Yu-Gi-Oh match, Gabriel even managed to summon a God by tributing four pawns! |
 |
haha, at least this drawing is better than Chinatsu's drawings. (Yuru Yuri reference ) |
| there was some good parts but my god the whole Ainsworth and then the dog things are getting pretty annoying imo the ep before this was pretty nice because of the new character though i still like this series i feel it just needs more, more characters would be really nice as things are really starting to get meh |
| "one step at a time" |
| 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 |

| "There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Cute a fuck. Wearcat? LOL As usual. I, god, have given thee a gift again. I kept it full res so it's a big pic. Might want to open in new tab for better view. It's like 1000X3000 If anyone has any scenes they want me to stich up, I'm game. I've seen some positive replies so feel free to toss me a show, timestamp and I'll see what magic I can do. Unless there is already a thread for that...... |
  |
| 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. |
| Lol, "OFFSIDE" "DRIBBLE" |
