There are 4 supernatural female characters attending the same school: 2 angels and 2 demons. The protagonist's name is Gabriel (go figure). After she was sent to the human world she became a dispassionate slob. Her friend, might I add her ONLY friend, is a good natured demon named Vignette. The somewhat inversion of roles provides some humour right from the start of the show. The aspiring queen of hell, Satanichia, is putting up an evil front while in truth she struggles with all things diabolical. The same could not be said about the second angel in the show, Raphiel, who is manipulative and set her sights on torturing Satanichia to alleviate her boredom.
You might say the pieces are starting to form a cheerful show, right? Wrong. The dominant source of comedy is malice. The protagonist is nonchalant about everything and everyone to the point of casually voicing her desire that every human should die. Even the apocalypse is carefree brought into conversation. While these types of jokes may be funny, overuse hammers the comedy out of dark-comedy. Not to mention the way Raphiel toys with Satanichia made my blood boil. While Satanichia states on multiple occasions that she is Gabriel's rival, in fact she is nothing more than a nuisance. Every action the protagonist takes against said "rival" is blown out of proportion reaching the level of viciousness. When Vignette joined in the bullying I simply had to stop watching...
It seems the creators thought that repeatedly showing a self proclaimed evil person up is acceptable. After the few episodes I saw it became visible that this anime's shtick is violent harassment loosely supported by few and far between sharp witted scenes.
