* AffectionateParody: Of {{Iyashikei}} manga, especially the "cute girls doing cute things" aspect of the genre. ''Gabriel Drop-Out'' has more ComedicSociopathy in it, but it's just as inconsequential as in other more straightforward manga of the genre.

* NoPokerFace: Tapris ends up in a game of Old Maid against Satanichia which will determine Gabriel's fate, but Tapris face reveals all and Satania is easily able to avoid the Joker.

* BookEnds: Remember when Gab tried to teleport to school in episode 1 and only her underwear ended up in class? Well, she tries it again during the credits of episode 12....only this time only her ''skirt'' gets teleported to class.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Vignette objects to Gabriel undressing right in her living room, stating that there's a private place to change nearby. Gabriel replies that the [[LensFlareCensor holy light]] will keep things family-friendly.

** In Episode 11, makai.com is the demonic version of Amazon. (There ''is'' a real-life [[https://www.makai.com/ makai.com]], but it's an ocean engineering company.)

** Episode 11 deals with Satania making every possible effort to save the life of the melon-stealing stray dog, who she attempts to adopt to prevent it being sacrificed in a dog pound. It's the first episode that deals with any sort of drama during the original run;

** It also fixes some of the weirder things from the manga, such as when Vignette cuts Gabriel's laptop's LAN cable in the anime, while in the manga, it's the power cable. Since the laptop immediatly stops working, this would suggest Gabriel doesn't use a battery (a pretty odd thing to do for a gamer).

%%** Vignette serves as the [[OnlySaneMan sane one]] who keeps Gabriel in check.

* CastFullOfCrazy: It is played for laughs, especially when compared with the standard set of heroines for a slice-of-life show. Almost the only character that can be considered fully adequate is Vigne.

* WeWantOurJerkBack: [[spoiler:Subverted in Episode 12. After being disciplined by her older sister, Gab returns to school as a model student once more. The others are unnerved by it and scheme to get her to return to her old self. As it turns out, Gab was only putting up an act in hopes that her sister will eventually be satisfied and leave her alone]].

* UncleanlinessIsNextToUngodliness: One sign that Gabriel is a fallen angel is how her apartment is so dirty that Vignette jokes about sinners from hell turning it into their residence. It also reflects on her halo, which is entirely covered in thick, black fog. Also played straight (except from the other side) with Vignette herself, who regularly cleans her apartment and is a good person, even though she's a demon.

** The second OVA has a stark contrast to the main series, as it deals with the group meeting a blind girl whom they befriend after she (correctly) confuses them with angels. They dote her with gifts and keep her company, learning that she's due to undergo eye-correcting surgery to gain her sight. One day, as they intend to meet with her, [[spoiler:they realize that she's been involved in a traffic accident and that a car ran her over, leaving her hospitalized and clinging for dear life. Satania and Vigne desperately try to make Raphi and Gab intervene, but they are forbidden to do so by Heavenly mandate, making Satania tearfully berate them for their inaction. Gab, against all mandates and rationalizing that she's a "faillen" angel anyway, restores the girl to health and gives her eyesight back, leaving Satania and Vigne crying TearsOfJoy]].
