From seraphic angels to gods of destruction, these anime feature all manner of celestial beings at the forefront.
With roots in fiction and fantasy, most anime series tend to feature otherworldly elements and spiritual creatures, and celestial beings such as angels, demons, and deities are naturally referenced the most. Celestial beings are often seen as arbitrators between the heavens and the earth, though not all celestial entities bear a positive regard for humanity, as some can take on the form of devils and demons.
Anime series feature this very concept but with a fantastical twist of their own. With a mix of different theologies and mythologies influencing the concept of celestial beings, anime series present their own interpretations of these heavenly entities. From gods of destruction to guardian angels, these anime showcase all manner of celestial beings that lead to oddly intriguing narratives. 1 Gabriel Dropout
Unlike its action-focused shonen counterparts, Gabriel Dropout is a lightweight fantasy anime that makes use of celestial beings in a thoroughly amusing way. To become a legitimate celestial entity, angels and demons have to spend time in the real world and gain experience. Unfortunately, the top-of-the-class angel Gabriel succumbs to Earthly pleasure, turning into a game-obsessed NEET.
With two angels and two demons as the primary cast, Gabriel Dropout largely focuses on the everyday adventures of these cutesy girls trying to navigate their way on Earth. While the show is largely a slice-of-life anime, fantasy elements such as the heavens, angels, and demons are present in the series. 2 High School DxD
High School DxD might be known for its harem antics and frisky fanservice, yet the anime actually offers a decent lineup of angels and devils. Since the anime is set in a covert training center for demons and angels alike, the series is laced with all manner of supernatural phenomena and celestial events.
Issei Hyoudou gets entangled with these otherworldly beings after he is killed by his fallen angel date, though he later gets resurrected by a demon.
