Throughout the Galaxy Angel series, there are three recurring villains that show up from time to time in the episode plots, Patrick, Jonathan, and Gasteau. They generally look the same and have the same voice actor between their appearances, but they're often treated as separate characters when they show up again. They'll have different roles for example, and neither the Angel Brigade or the trio seem to act like they've met each other before despite showing up again and again.
So, it was kind of amusing when I was watching Koihime Musou lately, and there's pretty much the same exact thing there, with a group of three baddies that Kan'u and company tend to come across in some of the episodic plots there.
I'm wondering, since I've spotted two instances of the exact same, is there something like this in any other series? It had me curious at least. I was thinking it might be something that helps the animators, as they don't have to design new episode villains each time the situation calls and can bring in the same VA's again. It's also somewhat amusing to me, though. :)
