Balancing school and a social life can be rather challenging, especially when the students are not quite human. Gabriel DropOut follows the adventures of a group of angelic and demonic teenagers who are tasked with carrying out their studies on Earth. Doga Kobo"s shounen series subverts stereotypes associated with Heaven and Hell while delivering some hilarious school-based comedy hijinks. With a heavy focus on the relationships between the colorful characters, Gabriel DropOut examines how someone"s upbringing might impact the way they interact with the world, especially when they are forced to go out of their comfort zone. Bringing together a fantastic cast made up of polar opposites, this 2017 anime is sweet and funny.
Our two featured anime in this article are Miira no Kaikata and Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san. Both ongoing series are set in or around a school and follow a group of friends who, on paper, should hate each other. While their premise might not be all that similar to Gabriel DropOut, these anime are perfect for fans of Doga Kobo"s comedy and we plan on backing up that claim. Time to have a good laugh and an occasional cry with three anime that put the fun back in education.

Based on Ukami"s manga of the same name, Gabriel DropOut follows the day-to-day life of Gabriel White Tenma, an angel who graduated at the top of her class. As a final assignment prior to earning her full wings, Tenma is dropped on Earth and joins a normal human school. In a matter of months, Gabriel transforms from a beacon of righteousness to a hikikomori addicted to video games. Despite the efforts of Vignette, Gabriel"s responsible best friend who happens to be a demon, the angel is determined to live a life devoted to Earth"s pleasures. Along the way, Gabriel meets Satanichia McDowell Kurumizawa, a harmless demon who dreams of taking over the Underworld, and the terrifying angel Raphiel Ainsworth Siraha. As these unlikely friends try to make it through high school in one piece, fans are treated to a hilarious fish-out-of-water storyline boasting an unpredictably humorous central cast.
Gabriel DropOut, Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san, and Miira no Kaikata offer a perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. Boasting great animation for the genre and lovable characters, these anime might flirt with the supernatural but they always prioritize their slice-of-life elements above anything else. Bringing together teenagers from different walks of life, Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san and Miira no Kaikata show that friendship comes in all shapes and sizes.

Born and raised on a small island in the Mediterranean, my life goal is to experience as many different ways of life as possible. Since time and money are in short supply, anime and film provide the best opportunity to experience far away cultures and worlds. When I"m not watching the latest episode of Gintama, or wondering what series to watch next, you can find me in the corner of the closest coffee shop; writing away on my aging laptop.
