Who's the real demon here? Who's the angel here? Let me give you an answer: only one exists.
In short, this is an anime about demons; cute, unassuming ones in the form of high school girls. I regret to inform you there are no angels here. Heck, if you want a real review, go read the other two drastically different Anilist reviews above this one. The Gabriel Dropout cultist and the so-so slice of lifer both hold valid points that this anime is is for a certain 'type' of people. I am here to say, that if you've made it this far into Anilist, you should probably check the box.
Anyway, here's Raphiel, the most important character of the show-
Over the course of the show, she is the glue that ties the gang together. Being the comedy anime this is, Raphiel is the one whose gotta do the manipulating. Whether it be her use of her trained dog to harass Satania again and again, or her improper use of angelic power, she never disappoints when it comes to brewing up trouble.
Going into this anime, the viewer might expect a clear delineation of what constitutes an angel and what constitutes a demon. This expectation is betrayed once Raphiel joins in to define the show. What we get is not one fallen angel, Gabriel, but another who makes the viewer ask whether she was an angel in the first place. In her own right, Raphiel's schemes much outdo the actual demons of the series to the extent she gets similar or even more screen time than Gabriel.
I feel like this has greater connotation into what society expects of morally good or bad people at a grander scale. Those who may appear good at first glance, may have other intentions and vise versa. While at a comedic scale, the moral ambiguity of the assigned roles in this show demonstrate how a person could stray from the expectations society has placed upon them. In this case, they perform the complete opposite of what they're expected within their roles as angels and demons.
tl;dr if you wanted a review of this anime i'll give you numbers.
Art/Animation 7/10 - Pretty nice for 2017 slice of life.
Music/BGM 6/10 - The ED was ok, OP was not. BGM was a bit weak.
Characters 8.5/10 - Raphiel and Master carried, Gabriel was good too.
Plot N/A/10 - Don't expect a plot form a slice of life anime.
Gabriel discord emotes 10/10
Don't mind this review, just go watch for yourself.
