Lol shogi board games..

So this is what angels and deaths do at home when they are bored. A lot of Satania moments as well this episode. Seeing her wield a gun almost makes her look scary. She's still such a troll in this show. Felt bad for the school class president. The Halloween thing was cute with the outfits especially Gab imo.

Satanya is definitely the school clown with her behaviour in class.
And the class representative has it rough with Satanya around must be a head ache for her.
The teacher seems surprisingly friendly tho despite his appearance.

Decent episode.
Hopefully there will be more focus on Vi and Tap in future episodes.
Also the gags are starting to run a little thin for me, but I'll still continue watching it to see if gets better.

Well that was an absolute myriad of reaction faces on Satania's behalf :>

Also I might be the only one who caught this but I'm legit curious if this part was a subtle Rewrite reference or if it was just a coincidence and exactly the same as in the manga, but that is the exact same phrase Kagari uses when she pops up in the secret easter egg ending of Rewrite, and they're both HanaKana characters

(If you compare ~07:43 in this episode with ~06:47 here: https://youtu.be/bS4DbCut7vY?t=6m47s)

I'm not sure who was laughing more, Satania after being shot, or me, she laughing hard while the teacher was coming closer killed me.

Now really, is Satania a JoJo reference? The poses are so great, not even the Kaichou can resist them!

That shogi game! I didn't see such an intense match since Tonari no Seki-kun!
And to end the episode, a Halloween part! Who do you mates think that was the best dressed girl?

I loved this episode so much, this anime is awesome.

That scene when Satania was shot with a gun and started laughing and when the teacher came next to her, hahahah I was laughing so hard at that xD
That shogi game and how she was being tricked was quite funny as well.
Satania's atrwork deserved 1st place imo xD Gab looking really cute in that werecat costume ^^

Satania doing her evil deeds was funny. Her getting shot and constantly laughing was amusing. The shogi match was intense. The class president posing for Santania was rough for her. In the end, the outcome was glorious. Gabriel looks adorable in the werecat costume. Santania's treat got stolen by a dog xD

Of course wherever there is melon bread that dog is sure to be there to snatch it!

Satania giving the gun over to Gab only to get shot herself such a Bugs Bunny moment, I just love it! Poor class president wanting to inspire her pears but of course she gets saddled with Satania.

Poor Satania. No matter what melon bread she buys or gets given to her, that pesky little dog will be there to snatch it away from her. >__<

As much as I love Satania to win more often, seeing her getting humiliated constantly in this episode was really funny. Gabriel using the laughing gun to shoot her without hesitation and the 'Hitman' teacher walking intimidatingly to the laughing Satania was proper hilarious. =3

Speaking of which, the teacher was really nice to give the girls a goody bag and that ultimate melon that got snatched by the dog.

All of the halloween costumes for the girls were really cute, especially Gabriel's outfit that Vigne forced her to wear. =3

Another solid episode overall and Satania's artwork of the class president should be placed in an art museum. =P

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.

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.

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!

im with u fam, still hoping to suddenly egt funny like how it need dozens of episode for gintama to start getting funny
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.

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.

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...

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 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.
