ギャラクシーエンジェル (Galaxy Angel)
The Angel Brigade, part of the Transbaal Empire military force, is tasked to find the "Lost Technology". Consists of 5 unique members: the extremely lucky (but clumsy) Milfeulle Sakuraba, the hottie (but no luck with men) Ranpha Franboise, the cute (but calculated) Mint Blancmanche, the big sister (and arms collector) Forte Stollen, and the quiet (and god-worshipping) Vanilla H. Together, they will go out and find all the Lost Technology they can, and take up odd jobs in between. Everyday will be a new adveneture for them... if only they can stay out of trouble!
Galaxy Angel was announced by Broccoli in 2000, when Project G.A. was launched. As a PC dating-sim game combined with space-fighting actions, the game is a instant hit for Broccoli. So good that 2 sequels, Galaxy Angel Moonlit Lovers and Galaxy Angel Eternal Lovers, were released later. All 3 games were also released for PS2.
In 2005, Project G.A. announced the new sequel, Galaxy Angel II that was released in 2006, featuring a brand new group of characters. A sequel to Galaxy Angel II is already announced and is slated for released in 2007.
For the anime version, the first series, Galaxy Angel was released in 2001 as a 12-minutes 26 episodes series. Its sequels, Galaxy Angel Z, was released in 2002 as a 12-minutes 19 episodes series. Followed by Galaxy Angel A and Galaxy Angel AA, each contains 26 episodes, were released from 2002 to 2003 right after the end of Galaxy Angel Z. The final sequel, Galaxy Angel X, was released in 2004, featuring the new member Karasuma Chitose from the game. It contains 26 episodes, and for the first time, runs for 30 minutes each.
A new anime series based on Galaxy Angel II, ギャラクシーエンジェる～ん began broadcast in late 2006.

The story is about the girls of the Angel Brigade, and that's it. Every episode is filled with a different silly story to keep the fanboys happy, and when it gets slightly serious, it will just turn the silliness up 2 notches! Extremely fun to watch if you are bored!
