Synopsis

Technically assigned to recover ancient 'Lost Technology' artifacts scattered across the galaxy, five women spend most of their time getting into ridiculous situations that have very little to do with that mission. That's Galaxy Angel Z in a nutshell, a 9-episode TV series from Madhouse where the sci-fi premise is mostly just scaffolding for absurdist comedy. The Angel Brigade is led by the perpetually overwhelmed Colonel Volcott, and the team includes a girl whose luck borders on supernatural, a weapons-obsessed bruiser, a cosplay-obsessed heiress, and a member so quiet you forget she's there until she says something deadpan that lands perfectly. Each episode is standalone, food-themed in title, and pretty much asks nothing of you in terms of continuity or investment. You can drop in anywhere. The humor is slapstick-heavy with a loose sci-fi wrapper, which puts it in the same neighborhood as Azumanga Daioh if that show had spaceships and slightly more chaos. It's not building toward anything grand. it's just a series of weird little adventures with a cast that bounces off each other well. If you've seen the first Galaxy Angel and want more of the same low-stakes goofiness, this delivers exactly that. Don't expect plot. Do expect a weapons enthusiast treating a lost artifact like a new toy, and everyone else quietly suffering the consequences.

Galaxy Angel doesn't sound interesting in paper and it should be... Likewise, if you have heard of this show before, I am telling you that you are probably older than me right now. Anyways, Galaxy angel was a show that had 4 seasons and somehow, you didn't know about it... why? Probably when you see the cover art and you see all girls, you would have already backed off already and dismissed it as "cute girls doing cute things." While I think that idea is correct since some of the episodes are basically like that but surprisingly, this show pays homage to stuff you probably haven't heard before. If you are wondering why I am reviewing the sequel Galaxy Angel Z rather than the first one... that's because I felt that I can review this one better than the first one which I only watched it during my work at home(likewise, good people shouldn't watch anime while working unless you don't have anything to work with.) Continuing from the shenanigans of the first season, the gang are as always wasting time while looking for "lost technology" or sometimes having to deal with the effects of including lost technology into their food (that happened twice), or having to use a combining robot to defeat the galactic threat (which pays homage to a lot of 80s mecha shows that I can still recall,) There are times when all of the episode is just a chase scene that keeps escalating until the end where the abductor just gave up to how stupid the chase has been. There's also that time where the fate of the galaxy hangs to someone's emotional status that they have to use a particle cannon just to make sure that one of the brigade's mood doesn't go for the worst or galaxy would end. There wasn't a dull moment for this show as but likewise, it is not a perfect show. To those who haven't watched a lot of anime or anything related to the culture; they probably won't be able to guess some of the reference the anime has shown and likely won't be able unlike to how Gintama does. The show is wack, amazing and sometimes surprisingly deep. There's the one episode where they have to deal with the shadow of the past as it shows up once more. The setup was great, the pacing is nice and the end result didn't disappoint at all, it was surprising and likewise, the more you they are indeed human beings too. Likewise, go give this show a chance, you can watch it dubbed or subbed. it's your choice as it has been licensed too. Maybe you will understand why I am saying that this show is good. Or maybe convince yourself that you should find better shows to watch instead. I gave this show a 7.5/10, it's quite enjoyable and despite it's flaws, it's something that this show lives up to it. It's flawed but it has done what it needs to do.
