AoD Advance Review: Galaxy Angel Z Vol. #2

[Chris Beveridge]

Review (http://www.animeondvd.com/reviews2/disc_reviews/3578.php)

[ QUOTE ]
In Summary:
With six half-length episodes, this release goes by really quickly if you skip the openings and endings but I think this does still work to its advantage since there seems to be only so much of it at a time that I can sit down with. My favorite part of this volume has to be the greater knowledge gained about Volcott and the entire robbing from the rich gig that the girls had going and how nobody realized it was them the entire time, even with such full descriptions. Galaxy Angel has really found what works and is sticking hard to it. I find that I like it but it has to be in doses otherwise it gets to be just too much.

YES!!!

Bandai-Ent, any R1-box for GAz, yet? /images/graemlins/catgirl0.gif

For some reason, I thought Z was only two volumes?
6 half length episodes is kind of lame, basically it's just 3 episodes. I guess I'm asking too much. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

The second season is 18 episodes total, so the next volume finishes it up.

Its true. Mint is possibly one of the most nefarious and eVil anime characters of all time.

Woohoo I finally get a vol around the same time Chris reviews it /images/graemlins/happy.gif I've only seen the first 2 episodes (I mean are they really 6 episodes? I think not but it's labeled that way in the disk) and I'm liking it. It's just more of the same wacky hijinks from the crew which really isn't a bad thing. I liked the volcott flashback episode best <span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'>it was so wierd out seeing all the GA girls except for milli being old, until I realized they weren't really the current GA team but the origional /images/graemlins/sweat000.gif I really hope the girls don't look like that when they get old </span>

Nooooooo!!

Is Geneon the only company that doesn't defile their covers any more? /images/graemlins/relief1.gif

Why start on the freaking 2nd volume of the second damn season? Doesn't make any sense /images/graemlins/tongue.gif


edit: Rightstuf also doesn't defile their covers /images/graemlins/happy.gif

It looks like tag lines are just something we'll have to get used to. Still I guess it gives us an idea of what Bandai thinks of CCS in terms of quality. On a side note it would be nice if Bandai does get the rest of Galaxy Angel. Of course I'm sure they will. Oh yes by the way this reply is from the poster who posted in the Avatar: The Last Airbender Topic, My HiME Topic, Invader Zim Box Feedback topic and the 50th Cover Art Hunt Thread. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

And I thought it was just because it caught something from being mailed together with Cyberteam from Akihabara (a cover where every scrap of white-space has a tag-line on it) /images/graemlins/relief1.gif

I wonder, does anyone know if the later seasons of GA has that new raven haired girl that I see in megami with Milfi all the time /images/graemlins/noseblef.gif

Yes. I can't remember her name, but I think she starts showing up in season 3.

If I recall, the gimmick with her is <span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'>that her personality changes every episode. So she goes from sickeningly sweet to pure evil over thr course of an end credit sequence. </span>:P But don't quote me on that. /images/graemlins/sweat000.gif

[Suwako Moriya]

Chitose is the name of the new girl and she appears in the fourth and final (so far) season. I say final unless they announce a new one. Many have complained her personality is quite different from her "Game" version. Make of that what you will.

Incorrect, Chitose Karasuma, the sixth Galaxy Angel, doesn't appear on the anime until the beginning of season 04.

Well, not exactly.

Spoilers on season 4:

<span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'>Chitose, in the anime, is a prima donna character who wants to be praised above all else. She tried this on the Angel-tai but being the selfish bunch they are, Chitose plots her revenge against them. With Chitose (in the anime) being more evil than Mint, she acts in the opposite of what she was originally envisioned.</span>

In the manga/video games:

<span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'>Chitose is an amnesiac who is brought back to health by the Angel-tai, and later being a teammate. Her persona is that of a "yamato-nadesico", a traditional well-mannered Japanese woman. Thus, she is very leveled in mannerisms while being along for the ride with the others. Chitose makes her appearance in the English edition manga volume 5 and (the video game) Galaxy Angel: Moonlit Lovers.</span>

Those who want to know a little more on Chitose Karasuma as she was orinally envisioned in the manga/video games universe, check out the English version of the GA manga volume 5. In addition of Chitose debuting there, her profile and info on her Emblem Frame "Sharp Shooter" can be found there.

[macross011a]

Sorry about that. I only reply to make a correction of Chitose's debut. She appears on season 4, not season 3.

Also, I had to write my input since I saw the first 8 episodes of season 4 and just got GA manga volume 5 a few days ago.

Gomen. /images/graemlins/sweat200.gif

Bandai sent e-mails to fansub group working on GA seasons 3 and 4 to cease their releases months ago, followed by removal of the video files.

There's no doubt that Bandai will release all of the Galaxy Angel anime. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

<span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'>I'll definately buy the DVDs featuring the additions of Galaxy Twin Star and Chitose Karasuma to the current (anime) cast.</span>

He didn't. I was the one who asked him about it and he only confirmed seasons 1 and 2. It seems there's a fairly good chance they'll announce it this year though.

Hopefully over the summer.
