The Galaxy Angel anime series, produced by BROCCOLI, Madhouse and Bandai Visual, premiered across Japan on Animax between 7 April 2001 to 29 September 2001, and was soon followed by numerous sequels, including a second season ("Z"), a third season ("A", "AA", and "S") and a fourth ("X"). Each broadcast is made up of two fifteen minute episodes, whose titles always contain references to food. The first season was broadcasted by Animax, while later seasons has been broadcast by TV Osaka and other TXN stations. Internationally, the series has been broadcast by Animax and its respective networks worldwide, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, South Asia, South Korea and Latin America.
The story is about a group of women and girls who go on government-sponsored humanitarian missions as the Angel Troupe (Angel-tai) to search for Lost Technology, generally a plot device to set up amusing and absurd humor typical of the show, rife with obscure Japanese puns. Many of the devices look like extremely mundane objects like sticks or rice cookers, but have fantastic powers like mutating organisms or as destructive weapons.
The Galaxy Angel anime generally abandoned any sense of strict continuity or plot arcs after the first season, so they can be viewed in any order. The cast is frequently abandoned, killed, or transmogrified only to return completely normal in the next episode. However, the fourth season introduced a new character (see below) and occasional references are made to funny events in previous seasons (For example, references to the Bandit Corned Beef). Many episodes also parody aspects of Japanese culture, movies, and of course, anime, often compressing what would be expected to be multiple-episode long stories into a few minutes. Each season also contains one episode which is played straight - as a serious, non-parody episode.
The animated series can also be cited as a fanservice series in the most basic (but non-sexual) sense: the show is self-promotional, with absurd humor, spontaneous musical numbers, and elaborate costumes.
The first season, second season ("Z"), and first half of the third season ("A") are available on DVD in the United States from Bandai Entertainment. The second half of the third season ("AA") is expected to be released in 2007.
