History Anime / GalaxyAngel

''Galaxy Angel'' followed an evolution much like many of Creator/CartoonNetwork's [[Creator/AdultSwim Williams Street]] productions, [[strike:gradually]] almost instantly abandoning continuity and going into more surreal episodic tangents. Although "LostTechnology" is commonly used as a comedic plot device, it is very difficult to predict any given episode, which can range from whole parodies to violent alternate realities. Ironically, this setup makes the show surprisingly accessible to the causal viewer.

The ''Galaxy Angel'' anime became a strange little GagSeries, featuring a gang of cute but unusual women with jobs as a peacekeeping force in the galaxy. In place of honest AdaptationDecay, they outright parodied the concept, taking out all the characters but the Angels and fitting in new ones, exaggerating the Angels' personalities for comedic effect, and using the premise as an excuse to send them on strange 12-minute excursions.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Bandai Entertainment only dubbed 8 episodes of X, the final season, due to poor sales of AA and S, although most fans of the dub take it as a "fuck you" due to paying full price for an incomplete dub. This happened after the trainwreck company Bandai Visual USA released Rune with no dub and Region 2 format, and volume 1 had a grand total of ''one episode''. It's not even worth it.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The Region 1 collection of ''A'' is long out of print and impossible to find at non-CrackIsCheaper prices. (The original series and ''Z'''s R1 collections suffered the same fate, but those seasons also had individual volume releases that aren't too hard to find yet.)

* HeyItsThatVoice: The English dub went to TheOceanGroup. Fans of Gundam will notice that many of the Angels sound familiar.

* BakersDozen: One DVD-exclusive episode per season.
