Galaxy angel: a comedy show that sometimes made me really laught out loud, with a bit of serious parts (but only a bit once in a while, and it almost suddenly mixed with crazy comedy again) and some parodies from other animes.

It was really good show, it was of great amusement, even if it became a bit too senseless from time to time.
Basically this show is about the adventures of five girls, everyone of them of a different (and stereotipized) kind, working all together to complete their missions.
The story takes place in a distant future, and the common denominator of all the missions is the reserch for the "lost technology", unknown devices that where left by early humans.
The girls are really one the opposite of another, so they are really a bunch of characters that don't mix very well, and alltogether this makes the comedy even more funny and brainless. Pratically there aren't serious missions, and this adds even more craziness to the whole.

Animation is good,
every character is designed almost perfectly, and only in one episode there is some reuse of frames, but that choice was obviously took intentionally and not to save work. Colors are very bright, and all goes very smooth. The design of the background isn't something to be amazed, on the contrary usually it is very simple, but I think this suits well a comedy show as this one. Pratycally you don't have the chance to take a look at the spaceships, and futuristic elements are well drawn, even if them are again a bit simply.

Sound is very good.
Opening theme is really funny, to watch and to hear, and the closing one is soft and enjoynable. Background music isn't something that will be remembered, but it never becomes nasty and doesn't took away the attention from what is happening. Voice actors are really good! In this show there aren't important names, I think that for a couple of them this was the very first anime they acted in, but all of them do well their work, well characterizing their given characters. I think they will have the chance to prove theirselves worthy again in some new anime, because their work was really superb in this one.

There isn't a story,
every episode is by itself, and you pratically never hear something usefull about this famous lost technology. The whole is only brainless, funny comedy, without even tring to make a background story to recombine all the episodes together. Even the plot of the single episodes is nothing to be mentioned, and a lot of times you'll get only a brief introduction in order to have the characters throwed into action as soon as possible. I think that they could have bringed something better in this, because brainless comedy is good, but in the long run it becomes a little weak. Don't get me wrong, you'll always get your good bunch of laughts, and jokes are never twice the same ones, only I would have preferred something A BIT more deep.

Characters are all very well personified,
but pratically they get no development at all.
In a couple of episodes you get to know something about their background, but they never change, and they interact almost always in the same way. All of them have a bit of cinism in their personalities, and I liked and disliked each of them in turns. Ranpha is really hot I must say -_^

Good rewatching value,
perhaps in company, or if an episode really made you laught so much that you couldn't resist watching it a second time (and I think that it is something is going to happen to you). But I don't think you'll retake it as a whole, and don't forget there are two more seasons as well.

Enjoyed it a lot!
The crazy comedy is really something that you have to watch from time to time, it is so brainless, so focused only on laughting as much as you can, that you'll feel better after watching an episode of Galaxy Angel -_^


PS
Watch "the story in the story" that is in the preview of the next episode, nothing special, but it is something more, so why don't?
