Anime The
Galaxy Angel anime series, produced by Broccoli,
Madhouse and
Bandai Visual, premiered across Japan on
Animax between 7 April 2001 to 29 September 2001, and was soon followed by numerous sequels, including a second series ("Z"), a third series ("A", "AA", and "S") and a fourth ("X"). Each broadcast is made up of two 15-minute
episodes, whose titles always contain references to
food. The first series was broadcast by
Animax, while later series have been broadcast by
TV Osaka and other
TXN stations. Internationally, the series has been broadcast by Animax and its respective networks worldwide, including its
English language networks in
Southeast Asia and
South Asia, and its other networks in
Hong Kong,
Taiwan,
South Korea and
Latin America. In the US, this series was distributed on DVD by Bandai Entertainment, and later on Blu-ray by Nozomi Entertainment.
Manga Unlike the anime, the
manga version of
Galaxy Angel deals with the battles against The Legitimate Transbaal Empire (Eonia's Rebel Forces), and the relationship between Takuto Mayers and the six Galaxy Angel members. All
Galaxy Angel books were published in North America by
Broccoli Books.
Games The video games are part
strategy game, part dating sim, and are all available for the
PC and
PlayStation 2, with the first one also being available on the
original Xbox. The three games in the series are titled
Galaxy Angel,
Moonlit Lovers and
Eternal Lovers. All versions of the story are centered around Takuto Meyers, commander of the 2nd Frontier Fleet.
Moonlit Lovers received a PC expansion that added a new character and story plot to tie her into the main game, based on the expanded PS2 port.
Eternal Lovers also received a fan disc called
Galaxy Angel EX. A
pachinko simulation game for PlayStation 2,
CR Galaxy Angel, was released in 2008. A sequel series to the original trilogy,
Galaxy Angel II, came out exclusively on the PS2 and followed a different cast of characters. The three games in the sequel series are called
Galaxy Angel II: Zettai Ryouiki no Tobira,
Galaxy Angel II: Mugen Kairou no Kagi, and
Galaxy Angel II: Eigou Kaiki no Toki, released in that order.
Galaxy Angel In the video game
universe, the Galaxy Angels are from the "Special Guardian Division" and they work closely with the "Imperial Special Guards" and the "Satellite Defense Teams". They are the guardians of the White Moon, the sacred planet of the Transbaal Empire, and the personal protectors of the White Moon Goddess Shatoyan. The story begins with Prince Eonia attempting a take over of the Transbaal Empire with the aid of the mysterious Black Moon, counterpart to the White Moon. To counter Prince Eonia, the Angel-tai along with their flagship the Elsior are placed in the hands of the kind and ever-capable Commander Takuto Meyers. In addition to the storyline differences, the personalities of the characters were also altered significantly for the anime, and the video games offer a much more in-depth look into the Galaxy Angel universe. The following endings assume that Transvaal remains an empire, if the player tells Prince Shiva the truth at the beginning of the game, buys him a chess set and spends time with him, it is possible to unlock the Prince Shiva subplot, and at the end of the game Prince Shiva gives up the throne and Commodore Luft is elected President of the Republic instead. • Milfeulle Sakuraba: Makes a wish to the Emblem Frame that she will give up her life as the Goddess of Luck in order to restore power to the Elsior, which destroys the Black Moon with the Chrono Break Canon. Meyers retires from the navy to lead a peaceful life with Milfeulle, who has lost the ability to pilot Emblem Frames as well as her legendary luck (both good and bad), while Lester leads the Frontier Research Team to find remnants of Eonia's fleet and any Lost Technology like the Black Moon • Ranpha: As the Elsior starts going down in flames, Ranpha finds her resolve and destroys all the enemies, clearing a path for the Elsior which destroys the Black Moon with the Chrono Break Canon. Meyers stays in the military as head of the Frontier Research Team, and leaves with Ranpha on the Elsior, who starts redecorating the ship as their home. • Mint: The communication system goes down on the Elisor but Mint and Meyers understood each other due to their feelings. The Elisor is heavily damaged but Meyers decides to trust Mint and charge through and destroy the Black Moon with the Chrono Break Cannon while Mint destroys all the surrounding enemies with her Emblem Frame's "Flier Dance" ability. Mint decides to quit the Angel Troupe to accompany Meyers on his mission to scout the Frontier. • Forte: Destroys all the enemies in front of the Elsior, allowing it to destroy the Black Moon with the Chrono Break Canon. Meyers becomes commander of the frontier research team, and Forte becomes his new adjutant, replacing Lester. • Vanilla: Uses her Emblem Frame's nanomachines to restore full functionality to the Elsior, allowing it to destroy the Black Moon with the Chrono Break Canon. Meyers become commander of the Frontier Research Team, and Vanilla accompanies him on the Elsior, by now largely having gotten over her past and become more cheerful.
Galaxy Angel: Moonlit Lovers The second game in the trilogy,
Moonlit Lovers, revolves around the battles with remnants of Eonia's forces led by General Rezum and later a mysterious woman named Nephilia who claimed to be a member of a race called the Val-Fasq. A new member of the Angel-tai, Karasuma Chitose, is also introduced. The relationship between Takuto and whichever Angel whose heart he won is explored as well.
Galaxy Angel: Eternal Lovers In the final game,
Eternal Lovers, the war with the Val-Fasq begins in earnest while a couple of refugees from the legendary EDEN (the place origin of both the White Moon and Black Moon) arrive to beg the Transbaal Empire (and the legendary hero Takuto Meyers) for help. Takuto and his Angel's relationship is also put into serious jeopardy as his duties preparing for the war with the Val-Fasq keep them apart with increasing frequency. Players can go through the story in the adventure mode and play real time tactics battle missions in the name of
Takuto Mayers. While having good relationship with the Angel Troupe can increase their battle ability and the Angel Troupe with the best relation with Takuto will be with Takuto in the end like the previous two Galaxy Angel games. In this game, the cleared character would relate to the shooting mode of the game and her own Angel Frame would be unlocked in the shooting mode. Players can replay the game's battles piloting the Angel Frame instead of being the commander in chief of the battle. (while players are still given the option to command other fighters at the same time without the free camera mode.)
