Galaxy Angel Z

I was surprised no one had ever written a review on this series and that it is not more popular than it is. Galaxy Angel Z is the sequel to the original and contains the same likable cast detailing their insane adventures. This show is pure comedy, totally random, and quite silly. Yep I loved it.

Story? We don’t need no stinking story! There is none, I mean no plot at all besides the basic premise which is their role in the Angel Brigade in search of Lost Technology. This is such an important part of the story that most episodes rarely even mention it. It doesn’t matter a bit. The episodes are just insane and random, so much so that they feel fresh and original. The episodes are pretty much totally independent of each other too and you could basically watch them in an order you wished. So if you’re looking for story this isn’t your show. Its comedy and it does that very well.

The Angels are great characters. There isn’t any character development but the show does a great job of defining their personalities and using it for the comedic elements. Another thing in this shows favor is the limited number of characters. Basically the entire cast is the Angels, Volcott, and Normad. This is a good thing because the episodes are short (12 min) and it lets us get to know the characters through the humor. The angels are not particularly unique but they are just so well done that you got to love them. Milfeulle is the ditsy klutz, Forte the butch gun toter, Ranpha the sporty beauty, Mint the loli cosplayer, and Vanilla, well the perfect vanilla bland emotionless robotic type. The cast fits together perfectly and there is just a good chemistry. Forte and Ranpha are probably my favorites and they are really the most over the top characters in the show.

For an older show I find that the art really is strong. The colors are very bright, cheery and vibrant and I think reflect the tone of the show nicely. The music really stands out too as both the OP and EN songs are so silly and cute that they match perfectly. Voice acting is strong as well and I felt all the voices fit their characters perfectly.

Overall this is a very good show. I don’t have too many negative things to say about it but I don’t give it a top score either. It’s so insane that sometimes you get lost and don’t know what’s going on. Perhaps some of it is a culture difference. Though anyone who likes wacky comedy should watch this show. It probably won’t appeal to everyone, but this is a nice sweet innocent show that relies on genuine humor without using echii to make it funny.
