''Galaxy Angel Rune'' discarded the former, tried to emulate the latter, and (arguably) failed miserably. The original series lasted for four seasons, while Rune barely managed to make it through one.

The ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngel'' gameverse was a serious Space Opera Dating Sim series. The ''Anime/GalaxyAngel'' anime was a comedy version that parodied the concept of AdaptationDecay, as well as everything else in existence.

Apricot Sakuraba and her friends from the ''Galaxy Angel II'' games are given counterparts from the anime-verse. As usual, CharacterExaggeration is employed. The high points of the series are largely considered to be the catchy DancingTheme, which underwent MemeticMutation, as well as two episodes where the original Angel Troupe made cameos.

What went wrong? It may simply be the fact that Creator/{{Madhouse}}, the studio behind the original series, were unavailable and instead, Broccoli (the company behind the games) took up the project in-house and it was animated by Creator/{{Satelight}}, which meant that characters who were owned by Madhouse (Normad, Volcott, the Twin Stars, etc.) were unable to put in any appearances (save for a LawyerFriendlyCameo by a Normad-Missile). Perhaps the new writers were the kind of people that [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks far preferred the games to the anime and were bitter about ruining the drama]]. They certainly attempted dramatic plots that would have been more appropriate to the games, while throwing in {{Non Sequitur}}s to try and make it funny.

See the [[Characters/GalaxyAngel character sheet]], and would you mind editing it? It desperately needs fans of the series to give it some love.

* ShoutOut: Aside from the multiple throwbacks to the original series, any combat sequence not taking place inside the girls' ships has them randomly transporting to a barren field and taking down whatever bad guy they happen to be facing a la ''Franchise/SuperSentaiSuperSentai''. In addition, a chubby [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Char Aznable]] clone appears in episode 10 as a training instructor for the girls, and Milfeulle summons the Luxiole and uses it to bat away the Lost Technology in the final episode in what can only be a Anime/GaoGaiGar homage.

* CombiningMecha: Nano-Nano takes this UpToEleven in episode 7. The girls' ships become this in the final episode for no reason at all except RuleOfCool.

* ConspicuousCG: The Emblem Frames used by the girls.

* NonIndicativeFirstEpisode: With levels of {{Fanservice}} not reached again until the penultimate episode. There's a PantyShot of Anise, MaleGaze shots of Nano-Nano's rear, a [[LingerieScene Lingerie]] [[{{Montages}} Montage]] of Rico, and a [[HoYay Les Yay]] scene between Tequila and Rico. All this coupled with episode 1's [[TooKinkyToTorture masochistic]] villain caused some to abandon the show prematurely. [[CrackIsCheaper Bandai Visual USA]] releasing the first DVD with only the first episode didn't help either.

* ContinuityNod: In episode 7's [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue Where Are They Now Montages]] of the Moon Angels, Ranpha and Forte keep their less-revealing uniforms from the later seasons of the original series.
