Gabriel DropOut is an anime revolving mainly around Gabriel and her friends. Gabriel is a prodigy angel who has been sent from heaven to study human life on Earth. Accompanying her is another excelling angel named Raphiel. Upon arriving to their new school, the angels meet two demons named Vignette and Satanichia, who are both sent from hell to accomplish a similar goal as the angels.
Gabriel seems to be the perfect angel, however one day she hears a cry for help from her laptop. Unable to resist someone in need she joins a MMO and immediately gets hooked on it,
...
but what once was her assisting those in need became her playing for her own enjoyment. Now Gabriel shows her true colors to the viewers and she seems, well, not so perfect and is considered by many to be a "faillen angel".
Now for the individual scoring:
Story -
As for story, Gabriel DropOut doesn't really have one. There is no real point for this anime to get across nor is there any true conflict. But for an anime that is considered to be comedy, plot isn't really a necessary thing to have, so it isn't a bad thing that it lacks plot. Mainly what you will see in each episode are events that occur in the lives of Gabriel, Raphiel, Vignette, and Satanichia. Just know that by watching this anime that there isn't much more to it than just their experiences here on Earth.
Art -
The art style in Gabriel DropOut gives off very "cute" vibes. This anime tends to have brighter, more saturated colors which would match the theme of the anime since it can be considered to be relatively upbeat. Background art was well done and was complemenary with the style in character art. Character art, while done very well and pleasant to look at, tended to be a little too consistent with all characters and made a large amount of characters faces heavily resemble one another, but this isn't too much of an issue because character designs were quite different from one another and stood out.
Sound -
Gabriel DropOut's opening and ending fit very well into the anime and I didn't feel the need to skip over the intro or outro whenever I watched an episode. Soundtracks throughout the anime were also done well and in moderation, not very memorable but the usage of sound was done effectively.
Characters -
Each character in Gabriel DropOut had interesting personalities and showed signs of some decent development throughout the season. Also, just as a side note, you probably already know but Gabriel DropOut does not have any lead or important male roles as most of the characters are female. Moving on, both Gabriel and Raphiel are portrayed as angelic in the beginning only for the audience to realize that they're putting up facades, and the same applies to Vignette and Satanichia when the audience expects them to be evil because they are demons, however we come to see that both of them do have good hearts despite being demons. Also, each character was unique design wise and stood out from one another.
Enjoyment -
Gabriel DropOut was a fun anime to watch to kill time with. It's humor wasn't too outstanding, but it did provide amusement and each episode managed to stay relatively refreshing despite there being no real plot or motive present.
Overall, if you are looking for an anime that isn't a huge commitment and wound give you a brief laugh, then Gabriel DropOut may be a nice choice to go with.
Thank you for reading! If you choose to watch Gabriel DropOut, then have fun and enjoy!

Masamune-kun no Revenge, also known as Masamune-kun's Revenge, is an anime that focuses around our protagonist named Makabe Masamune and his attempts to win Adagaki Aki's heart with the intent on rejecting her once she's fallen for him, hence the title being "Masamune-kun's Revenge".
Now yes, our protagonist does have the intent of crushing a girl's heart but he has reasoning behind his actions. In the past Makabe Masamune has been hurt by Adagaki Aki when they were children and he works towards winning her over now that they are older by being muscular, handsome, studious, and everything you'd want in a guy.
...
He and Adagaki Aki's maid, Koiwai Yoshino, believe that Adagaki Aki thinks too highly of herself and needs a taste of her own medicine.
Now that the summary is over lets break down this review into sections for you:
Story - The plot of Masamune-kun no Revenge is quite original in my opinion, however I do believe it could have been executed better in many areas. This anime does have the occasional clichés you'd expect to see in a romance comedy and some areas of the story have been seen and done before, but that being said it doesn't mean this anime was bad. I found the plot to be interesting as well somewhat unique and I did enjoy watching the characters interact with each other and develop the story further, the only downside was that this anime ended a bit abruptly and leaves the viewer wanting more because the story didn't feel finished.
Art - The art style for this anime was very pleasant and easy to look at, characters were well drawn and animation wasn't choppy, and the backgrounds were well executed. All in all, there was nothing in particular wrong with this anime visually.
Sound - The audio present in Masamune-kun no Revenge revealed no issues. Voice acting was well done and both the opening and ending song were catchy and pleasant to listen to. Background music blended in well with scenes and conveyed the feel and mood of what was going on as well.
Characters - Characters for the most part were very diverse design wise and thought out well too. Even though the characters were planned on being unique, they did have many cliché personalities stuck onto them. This wasn't too much of an issue though because although they can be labeled for what the base of their personality is, the creator did also give characters quirks about them that still made them appealing to the viewer. For the most part most characters were likeable.
Enjoyment - After finishing this anime and looking back on it, I can say that I have enjoyed it and had no hesitation to keep watching nor did I feel bored with it, in fact I looked forward to finishing it. The only major issue I have with this anime is how it ended. The ending deserved more or at least a season two because the story feels incomplete. Around halfway through the anime it seemed as though the story was making lots of progress at a good pace, but it never did reach it's potential.
Overall, Masamune-kun no Revenge was interesting to watch due to its unique plot for its genre and the fact that it stayed being somewhat original throughout the season. If you enjoy romance anime I would suggest watching this, however do keep in mind that this anime does end leaving many with the feeling that more should have happened, but don't let that deter you because in the end Masamune-kun no Revenge was an interesting anime and I do hope for a season two so I can continue to watch this story go on and I'm sure after watching this you will probably be left with similar feelings.
Enjoy the anime if you plan on watching it, and thank you for reading!

Watashi ga Motete Dousunda (Kiss Him, Not Me) is about a girl named Kae Serinuma who is an otaku and an avid lover of all things yaoi. She begins the story being overweight, but once she watches her favorite anime character get killed off she grieves for him and in doing so she refuses to leave her room, eat any food, and shuts herself off from everything for awhile so she can continue mourning her precious Shion.
Since she refused to eat, she has miraculously lost a significant amount of weight and now is thin and now considered to be a beauty.
Her peers are shocked
...
and some of them even fall for her. In particular, four boys and even a girl. These five pursue her throughout the anime and try to win her over by competing with the other four.
Now for individual scoring:
Story - Nothing too original, its a reverse harem with many clichés and typical things you'd see and expect in a harem with a touch of comedy. One thing in particular that I liked about this anime is that all candidates in this harem got a fair chance at winning Kae Serinuma over, including the other female. Other than that nothing too notable. The story was interesting to continue to watch and I got through it fairly easily and quickly without growing tired of watching it. Although the ending was predictable (and to be honest, slightly disappointing) the story was fairly well done.
Art - Artwork is pretty well done, but somewhat generic of its type. That being said, its fine and is by no means "ugly" to look at. However, I must point out that it took me quite awhile to get used to the coloring of many characters eyes. They seem to have tried to make the characters eyes pop more with a gradient of color, but in many cases for me began to be a bit of an eyesore at first.
Sound - Music was well fitting and fine, nothing bad to say about it.
Characters - Character designs were good and unique. Each character had an interesting personality and I found myself liking all of them quite well.
Overall, Watashi ga Motete Dousunda (Kiss Him, Not Me) was a fairly well done anime. Even though I personally do not enjoy harems, I found this one to be good and I was able to watch it with ease. In my opinion, this anime was quite enjoyable, I got a few laughs out of it, and felt it was something I felt I wanted to finish and see through to the end.
Enjoy the anime if you plan on watching it, and thank you for reading!

Ai Mai Mi is supposedly about three girls writing a manga, well that's what the synopsis says anyway. Throughout this brief anime they seem to be doing almost anything but writing a manga aside from a few scenes where they are depicted actually trying to make it, in fact I forgot at a few episodes in that it was supposed to be about writing a manga.
However, I must forgive it because its not meant to be an outstanding anime nor one with a sound story line/plot or deep characters of any sort. Instead this is more of a parody anime if anything, with
...
episodes being short and the content being random and nonsensical.
If you are looking for something short to watch to kill time or give you a quick laugh then I think you'll enjoy this one, however if you want an anime that you can get invested in then this is not the one for you.
Overall, despite all said, I would not say it was awful to watch, nor was it very memorable. Its a good way to spend your time if you're bored and have nothing to do, and due to this anime's randomness and shortness there is no real feeling of having to commit yourself to watching it all.
Now for the ratings individually:
Story - There really isn't any story, besides what has been written in the synopsis. As stated there, this anime is about three girls writing a manga. However, after finishing this anime there are very few instances shown of them even working on it, I'd say it'd be more fair to say that the story is about three girls getting caught up in "everyday" shenanigans.
Art - Art is very poor most of the time, but for comedic purposes, so I'd say its a fitting choice for this anime.
Sound - Fair, the music fits the scenes well and I had no issues with it.
Characters - There are four reoccurring characters in this anime; being Ai, Mai, Mi, and their senpai named Ponoka. Characters have no development throughout the anime, so there's no feeling of emotional attachment to any of them. Character designs vary and aren't over done nor are they too simple, so they wind up being somewhat refreshing in an odd way. Each of them also have quite quirky personalities and are interestingly unpredictable.
Enjoy if you plan to watch and thank you for reading!
