Jashin-chan Dropkick is a show for anyone who likes characters with bad, irredeemable, one note personalities and no story development whatsoever.


The show is basically a gory buddy comedy about a chuuni gothic lolita girl named Yurine and a devil snake girl named Jashin that she apparently summoned. Jashin wants to return to her home (hell) but has to kill Yurine to do that. But she sucks at her attempts to do so and gets brutally punished for it by Yurine who is also a massive sadist.

For me this show has not a single good vibe, it's toxic all around, which completely muffles every attempt at ... comedy. Yurine is cringily cool, skilled and collected at all times and enjoys to hurt Jashin. Jashin loud, overconfident, clumsy and mean, but she is basically Yurines kidnapping victim and gets held in the human world for Yurine's entertainment.
Of course the show never acknowledges this Dilemma and expects me to just go along with it.

The rest of the show is incoherent and weird. It's constantly trying to parody itself, completely overdoing it in parts. The rest of the cast are other demon and angel girls with even less interesting one note personalities. There is no story, just days going by with different antics but always a big portion of violence and toxicity.
Again, the show kind of relies on the viewer accepting everything with a shrug, including the implication that Jashin deserves the violence she suffers under. But keep in mind, she's not there by choice, she got summoned by Yurine and now Yurine refuses to take any responsibility.

Idk, I can't even really muster up any more actual criticism. Good character dynamics are the basis of a good show for me, and Jashin-Chan Dropkick fails in this regard.

If you like bullying, abuse and gore though, this might be the show for you.

Gabriel Dropout is a Slice of life manga for anyone who hates change and loves Boredom! Here's why:

Gabriel Dropout is a CGDCT comedy manga.
It's about the angel Gabriel, once top of her class on heaven, now lazy slob in the human world and video game addicted Hiki NEET. She's accompanied by her fellow angel Raphiel and the two demons Vignette and Satanichia.

Story: There is no story, in fact even for slice of life Standards both the world and the characters change shockingly little. You could legitimately skip from chapter 5 to chapter 70 without feeling like you missed something. This is disappointing when considering that ... the characters at the beginning of the manga are all very flat.

Characters: All characters, the main cast and the side characters, are basically two liners. Either they act like you'd expect them to, or on some instances they act slightly different but fall back to their original act immediately. With a relatively small cast Gabriel Dropout runs out of unique moments fairly quickly as the dynamics never change. Sure, some new characters are introduced, but they feel as one dimensional as the rest.

Some of the dynamics are even toxic and unlikeable, for example the dynamic between Satania and Raphiel. Their whole shtick is that Satania is overconfident and loud and Raphiel has a fake smile and bullies Satania a lot. Both very flawed personalities who don't come over as cute. So it's not really even Cute Girls doing Cute things, it's more like Girls backstabbing each other and annoying each other but still getting along because their script gets restarted every morning.

World: Except for some scenarios in hell and heaven the world never gets expanded or built upon. You could fit all scenes of this manga on a stage without needing change of scenery. So no world building.

Art: It's ok, not great not terrible.

Summary: I wasn't entertained by Gabriel Dropout. Waiting for the pace to pick up was a useless endeavor, so if you think the manga is boring in the first few chapters then you can drop it without worry. Gabriel is the same old lazy, selfish bumfuck. I see some people adore her which i can only explain by assuming they see themselves in her.
Satania, the only character with any ambitions, gets shut down in every chapter in a very salty and unflattering way. I did not find the comedy in recycling this concept for 93 chapters, but i thought it was a good representation for the manga's pace overall: Don't let anything interesting happen, because that's uncool or something.

5/10 There is worse.

Gleipnir is just the most uncomfortable Anime I have ever watched, out of so many reasons, the blatant edginess and gore, the psychopathic female main character, the disconnect from any viewer who isn't already mentally compromised.

This is not a show you're supposed to watch for enjoyment, this is exclusively for people who get turned on by the feeling of dread or disgust. I will not go indepth any further, because every second I think about this anime, the aching pain in my head I got from starting this series is getting stronger.

I will now watch a WW2 documentary to make me feel better.
