The series pushes forward the idea that once angels graduate school in heaven, they land down on Earth in order to better understand the workings of the planet. While “angel anime” might be a trigger for some, this series strips that concept down to its barest halo and wings and really just plays with the morality issues involved with heaven and hell. Gabriel DropOut is the very best sort of silliness and you’ll be better off for accepting its absurd point of view into your life. How Long Is It? 12 episodes and two specials What’s It Like? American Gods meets Degrassi If you were a fan of Rurouni Kenshin, then you’ll be a fan of Onihei. It might not be the flashiest anime of the season, but this one might genuinely surprise you. All you need to do to get on board with this show is take in one of the show’s frenetic samurai sword fights with its sprawling jazz scores. Trying to describe this series inevitably doesn’t do its precise voice justice.
BEST ANIME OF 2017 MAL CODE
The show does an effective job at building this world that’s held together by code and honor, as well as the consequences when those things begin to crumble. There’s also a stunning jazz soundtrack that pairs up with all of the swordplay remarkably well. There’s a maturity and elegance present in Onihei that helps elevate its material, almost making it feel like an anime from out of the ‘80s or ‘90s. Hasegawa’s job is to dole out justice to the thieves, arsonists, and criminals that run amok in the area. Onihei follows Heizou Hasegawa, the so-called “Demon” of the blade arts. Onihei might technically be a historical anime set in 1783 during the Edo period of Japan, but the concept of justice that the series deals with is evergreen. Plus, if Tazuna and Koyori are ever not holding hands for too long, they begin to experience physical pain. If that weren’t enough, the special powers that are awoken in each Hand Shaker are called their Nimrod. What do Hand Shakers do? Their purpose is to battle the other Hand Shakers with the ultimate prize being the right to confront God and get a wish granted. Tazuna and Koyori are suddenly transported to a world known as the Ziggurat and learn that they are of a special group of people known as Hand Shakers. In a sort of Sleeping Beauty-but with hands-scenario, Tazuna’s hand is drawn to hers and then things start kicking into gear. A boy named Tazuna encounters a girl named Koyori who is fast asleep. If the phrase “extreme hand shaking” riles up your adrenaline and launches your excitement level straight to the moon, then boy do I have a show for you! Okay, there’s a lot to unpack with this one.
