Started watching this because other users loved it so much and it just completely exceeded my expectations. I've always kind of struggled to get into comedy anime, but I was seriously laughing out loud at just about every episode of Galaxy Angel. The episodes are the perfect length to introduce a concept and the character pairs, cue rapid fire jokes and unique visual gags, and then stick the landing and it just really worked for me. Because the characters all have such extreme personalities it's just so inherently funny to see how they bounce off one another, it's great. I loved how ridiculous every concept was and how incompetent they were as a group, fave gag from the series is Vanilla being a Christian lol
It's so amazingly good that you just take one character like that and you have t…

Discovered GA on Nozomi's youtube channel which is curiously still active post Crunchyroll merger. I've binged the first season more times than I care to admit. The dub is fantastic and doesn't get nearly enough love. I put it up there with Lucky Star and Azumanga Daioh. Props to the dub cast. It's too bad they didn't really do much else in the anime sphere.
Having never played the games, I had no frame of reference going in and thus couldn't be disappointed. The 15m episode run-time works in its favor. To quote the stage adage, "Leave them wanting more." I did and bought all the blu-rays. There's really not much continuity or plot as each episode is more or less self contained. Pure goofiness is understandably not for everyone, but it's something I appreciate - especially when you just w…

For an anime made in early 2000's Galaxy Angel is far superior than many and I mean many modern anime in 2020's and that just shows how modern anime doesn't try.
Not much plot but plot doesn't matter to me as much.
Development, hit or miss with character development as I focus more on a character personality than anything else but Galaxy Angel has some decent development in certain episodes for its characters.
Characters are Hella great, each character is written as funny jokes but likable and unlike modern anime they use good characteristics and pacing to make the characters seem like actual characters and not just forgettable try hards.
Overall enjoyment: 7.7/10

I was looking for a cute, easy, older anime to watch and this was definitely it. The humor was super fun, the characters were cute and unique enough and the pacing was good for ten minute episodes. Simple but sweet antics in a lil ~10 minute package. A lot of people seem to be complaining about lack of plot, so if youre looking for that definitely watch something else but that was kinda the main thing that drew me in. Just wanting to have a fun time! My biggest problem is that some of the episodes left me feeling slightly unsatisfied, they would end on a kind of "gotcha" note but thats to be expected with the kind of humor and it was always worth the ride despite the ending!

I'm talking about the series as a whole and not just the first seasons. It might seem long but by the end you'll wish there was more.
Some of the dumbest stuff you'll ever see and some of the most advanced comedy you'll ever see. Everything in between. This is a skit show, episodes don't necessarily rely on the content or canon of preceding episodes. There's sitcom style stuff, plenty of parody, occasionally completely serious episodes that remind me of Ghost in the Shell, and episodes that defy any form of categorization. Some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen in my life came out of this series. Jokes so sophisticated I can't comprehend how they were written. And of course gags on-tier with the good ol' banana peel, never fails.
All of the characters are good. Even the ones with hide…

This is ... this is mostly a harmless silly fun kind of anime that doesn't really stand out in any of its aspect. You have girls that are some sort of agents in some sort of organization, except that rather than doing their agent job they usually end up in some sort of trouble. There are jokes, but they are neither bad nor spectacular. The same could be same about most of the other aspects of the series. It gets 5/10 in all categories - average.
Details:
Story: 5/10:
Neither bad nor incredibly good. There are several gag plots revolving around some of the quirks of characters, and on occasion around some sort of silly idea. A small number of episodes are more serious, but in general it is more or less light hearted fun. or attempt of fun. The episodes are fairly short - 13 minutes per ep…

Galaxy Angel
Ah! What a crazy off the walls slice of life this anime is. An anime about several girls who are apart of the Angel Brigade on the search for "Lost Technology", the anime seems like it'll be a little serious in plot or something, but nope, not at all!!
Following the girls, we have the observational and smart Mint (Totally adorable!), the quiet and reserved Vanilla, the naïve and all out fun Milfeulle and the two bad asses; gun toting Forte and money gone crazy Ranpha.
The anime is 100% episodic with no true story occurring at all, though at times it seems like the lost technology arc is shoehorned in to make you think something is happening.
The girls themselves are super fun to follow around. Forte and Ranpha have great chemistry together, typically working together, but…

Galaxy Angel has an unusual history. From the research I did, it seems that the anime was created to advertise a virtually simultaneous game release. Both from Broccoli entertainment. There was just one issue, the game got delayed, the anime didn't and the anime staff didn't have any information about the game except for the character designs and a few basic character traits. So they decided to just forget about the dating sim continuity and just do whatever they wanted with it. The end result was that the anime and game became set in alternate universes. How did that work out? Let's take a look at the original anime and find out.
Galaxy Angel quickly abandons even the pretense of a story. After the first three episodes you can watch the rest in any order and not have any problems. The s…

So first, I feel I must warn you: I am not as seasoned an anime fan as many other users on the forum, and my tastes can generally be described as girly(love Gossip Girl, The Hills etc) but sardonic. When it comes to humour, I absolutely love parody. This is why some of my favourite shows are Robot Chicken and South Park, yet I still watch The Backyardigans on occasion...And this is where Galaxy Angel comes in.
I feel that a lot of people in the anime community dismiss Galaxy Angel for a lack of plot, bad character designs etc etc, and while I agree it may not be the most original show ever, it is definitely enjoyable. It is a show that I can watch over and over and still enjoy (and I can't say that about a lot of shows). The humour is very light-hearted, but still takes maturity to unders…

Talk about a whacked, light-hearted and joke-able anime. Galaxy Angel surely sets its own genre in terms of wackiness and unique way of presenting funny ideas. You have a team of 5 girls working in a team, a half-broken Lost Technology that was a weapon of mass destruction which its brain got slapped onto a motionless ugly doll. They're definitely not making any sense in most cases, but if you try to enjoy it in a different perspective - to accept the "weirdness" that it makes... it's not bad at all. Some of the stories are kinda cliche in that you would know what happened in between events, but definitely enjoyable. You just had to watch it carefully sometimes to get the jist of it.
Story: 8/10. All of those funny jokes that they play on each character were good enough to let me spend th…

This is a silly comedy, as such it should be reviewed like that and this review will do just that.
A lot of people (here on MAL at least) seem to give Galxy Angel a low score due to it's "lack of a story and plot". This is true, as far as the show goes, there is no actual plot or red-thread that the story follows. The main element and driving force behind the show is the characters, who's mision is to search for items and things called Lost Technology, ancient things of power from the past (obviously). Here follows the difference in my own review from most others:
While Galaxy Angel does indeed not have a plot or any real storyline, but that's alright, it's actually fine. The show is a silly, cutesy-tootsie anime with five girls as the main characters, each with their own (perhaps a bit…

I actually watched some episodes of Galaxy Angel before but with Japanese dub, and this time I decided to watch it with English dub. Wrong decision. I’ll expound on that later.
I don’t know if it’s the case with the dub, but I think I liked it better before. It may have been the lack of other anime back at the time I first watched it, or my taste in anime now and then. This time I don’t seem to like it because compared to all the other series I have watched so far, it’s not that good. It’s just another anime that has no specific plot – Well actually it does. They were looking for this lost technology thing, but they seem to have forgotten that and pursued odd jobs instead, giving me some few laughs now and then, but I still found the storylines t…
