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 preditacble and stereotpyical) personalities and tastes. Their inter-group relationship may seem friendly and so at first glance, but if you have some intuition and actually pay attention, you can notice a lot of interesting, underlying rivarly and other goodies. The show has a very silly and exaggerated comedy-aspect and many of the jokes have been used before and probably better, still, there are parts of the show that *will* make you laugh.
What can you say about the sound, music and art then? You can't complain, there are shows out there who have far worse and the style fits perfectly with the show's theme of silly, easy-going comedy. Some might like the songs and soundtrack enough to actually buy the OST, gods know that the opening theme is so darn catchy, I still catch myself humming it occasionally. Which also brings to another good point, the OP is absolutely hilarious, it's so incoherent and stupid that if you don't crack a smile there's something seriously wrong with you (or you got a twig stuck up your butt).
Story? There's no story, there's a plot element: They are searching for Lost Technology but more oft than not they end up doing and getting into situations that have absolutely nothing to do with it at all. The characters consist of a gun-tooting tomboy with an overly large bust, a beautiful and flirtatious martial-artist, a kind-hearted and lucky dim-wit, a mature yet slightly mean loli-figure and of course, the token silent-girl who seems to be some sort of creepy pseudo-monk who worships a really strange, rotating device in her room (It's awesome!).
All in all, a lot of people unfairly rate Galaxy Angel for it's plotless and senseless story, but I really don't think that's the major problem. The show is a silly, exaggerated comedy and you can't really expect any high-rate scripts and well-written stories for those, now can you? Give it a try if you're looking for a good laugh and some minutes of enjoyment. Each episode is only 15 minutes anyway so you could easily finish all, or half, the series in just one go if you'd like. I certainly recommend this show and it was actually so enjoyable that I'll go on to watch all the other seasons as well, just for the laughs.
