We learned back in July that Ukami’s manga series Gabriel Dropout is getting an anime adaptation and we’ve had a good bit of information with casting and the staffing for it, the first promo, and some key visual material. With the second promo now here we know that the series will premiere on January 9th, 2017 on AT-X, Tokyo MX, Sun TV, and BS11 as well as rolling out to other services over the next few days. The new promo certainly is a fun one as we get a taste of the opening theme song and some of the cast performing their characters.
The work began back in 2014 as serialized in Comic Dengeki Daioh “g” and has three volumes to date so far. The work is Ukami’s second after the 2012 single volume release of Seishun Ouka Bu.
- Miyu Tomita as Gabriel
- Saori Onishi as Vene
- Naomi Ozora as Satania
- Kana Hanazawa as Raphiel
The anime adaptation has set Masahiko Oota to direct based on the series composition by Takashi Aoshima. Katsuhiro Kumagai is handling the character designs and Doga Kobo is handling the animation.
Plot concept: Chief Angel has come to Earth! However, she became so used to the life on Earth that she skips school and keeps on playing online games, thus into self-destruction. It’s a school comedy that Gabriel turns into a lazy angel!
