Galaxy Angel Z

This review most likely going to be short.

It is more of the same that was present in the first season of Galaxy Angel. However... the show has improved, and contains some very well written non-comedic episodes. Music has also improved and is less annoying. Characters are mostly the same.

Overall (if you haven't watched the first season for some reason). This is mostly a "silly fun" kind of anime that talks about some sort of all-girl special force that is supposed to be doing... something? Finding lost technology? Fighitng crime? Protecting justice? I'm not entirely sure. But instead they usually end up in some sort ... of messy or silly situation instead.

Detailed breakdown below:

Story: 6/10
The story has improved compared to the first season. While first season mostly had a story that didn't really standa out in any aspect, this season features several episodes with a serious or mysterious atmosphere, which are surprisingly well written. There aren't a lot of those episodes - 3 or 4 of them total, but they're memorable. The rest follows the same pattern, like the first episode - girls dealing with some situation they've gotten into. There are more references to toher anime as well.

The story is episodic, and doesn't really have an overarching storyline. I think the episodes could've been watched in any order without any negative consequences.

Art: 5/10:
Same art as the first season. It looks relatively low budget, and does not really have a lot of details going on. It is not as bad as, say... Narutaru was, but they're definitely trying to reduce animation budget when they can, even though they don't really ever go overboard with cost cutting tricks.

Sound: 5/10:
Doesn't really stand out, but the annoying electronic tune from the first season is, thankfully, gone. Music is okay. The music that accompanies "serious" episodes is actually good, but it is rarely utilized.

Characters: 5/10:
They're okay. Basically, everybody has a role/stereotype or archetype they adhere to and they try to stick with it. On an occasion the anime shows other side of the character, but there isn't much character development going on. In the end, it is a gag anime, so this is understandable.

Enjoyment: 6/10:
I liked it more than the first season. The serious episodes were surprisingly good, especially the one called "Silent Enemy".

Overall: 6/10:

This is no masterpiece, but I'd recommend to check it out when you have the time. The show is fairly clean too, meaning no gore and fanservice in it. So, mostly silly fun kind of thing, with occasional sprinkle of seriousness.
