Short Outline

The Angel Troupe, an elite division of the Transvaal Empire military, are assigned to search for the Lost Technology. Nobody is sure what Lost Technology is exactly, so the groups spends most of their time doing any odd jobs that come their way. Utilizing their specially designed Emblem Frames, spacecrafts possessing the most technologically advanced equipment known, they search for Lost Technology and fight for justice... Sometimes.

Main Description

Galaxy Angel is loosely based on the video game series of the same name. Rather than following any sense of story continuity, Galaxy Angel plays out more like an episodic comedy, with the plot of each episode being resolved (more or less) by the end of the 12 minutes. Lost Technology is usually used as a plot device to set up comical situations, and usually takes the form of an everyday appliance or device with extraordinary capabilities. Because of the episodic nature of the show, things that happen in one episode are not referenced in later episodes. Most of the humor in Galaxy Angel comes from parodies, puns, and character interaction.

Personal Opinions

Mercury Crusader

At first, I thought it was an alright series. The more I watched, however, the more I began to appreciate the humor in it. Being episodic, you can literally start watching at any point of the series and not worry about a storyline, since everything in an episode is resolved by the end. I tend to watch comedy more than anything else, and I use Galaxy Angel as the standard by which all episodic comedies are rated. I highly recommend this series.
