As a massive Galaxy Angel fan, I gotta say, Galaxy Angel Rune didn't work for me and I am kinda dissapointed. The humor I loved is very different from the original Galaxy Angel series, stories were forgettable, characters as well. There just wasn't anything special about it. The whole anime just didn't really work for me.

Stories are basically a slice of life, like in the original series - nothing surprising here. But like I said, they were forgettable and bland. However, I appreciate that there were episodes featuring characters from original Galaxy Angel. And not just that! One episode even featured Dejiko from Di Gi Charat, which really made me happy, because my love for Di Gi Charat is forever deep in my heart.

However, most of the characters from Rune are pretty bland. After watching the whole Galaxy Angel Rune, I still only remember only one character by name - and that's Nano-Nano Pudding. She was very fun character, often oblivious to what is happening around her (which is great), all around fun character, which I enjoyed watching. She is ending every sentence with "nano da", which made her memorable too. Another character I liked was Apricot (however, didn't like her enough to remember her name, I had to look it up at the moment of writing this review). And I mostly liked her because she was very cute and similar to Milfeulle from the original series, who was clumsy and often messed things up - but that was the reason why I liked her. The rest of the characters from Galaxy Angel Rune crew are completely forgettable and I don't remember their names at the time of writing this. Or anything about them, really. Who is Anise? Who is Kahlua? Who is Tequila? It's like they were background characters for me. I had the feel that they wanted to emulate original characters. Anyway, it's definitely a step down from original Galaxy Angel series which had really sharp and distinguishable characters and every single one of them had something I liked, which made for very diverse range of personalities, which actually were very well balanced - their diversity felt natural and not forced.

What I liked was music. Openings and endings were great and very catchy, as is usual with anything produced by Broccoli. Studio did a great job with this. I always loved watching openings and endings. Artstyle was also nice to look at, as is usual with Broccoli. Animations were nice. With the exception of the last episode - I felt that artists didn't really care about the last episode, so there are plenty of scenes where characters look really bad - their eyes are veeery far away. If you know that funny picture with "Place for rent" written on the forehead of anime characters, then, unfortunately, one of the three characters in that picture is taken from this show.

In conclusion, I gotta say - if you're not extreme Galaxy Angel fan who has to see everything Galaxy Angel, you can safely skip this one. You're not gonna miss much. However, as a Galaxy Angel fan, I can't rate this 5/10 as I would do, I am forced to rate this 4/10, because it's bad. It's mediocre anime, but it's a bad Galaxy Angel.
