nihongo|"Galaxy Angel"|ギャラクシーエンジェル|Gyarakushī Enjeru is a bishōjo sci-fi/comedy anime, manga and dating sim series by BROCCOLI. It was created in July 2000, when Broccoli launched the multi-platformed project called "Project G.A." The anime and Galaxy Angel Party manga comprise a comedy story in an alternate universe, while the games and the regular manga have a serious and involved romance/action plot.

A sequel to the game trilogy was released in June 2006, entitled "", and stars an entirely new cast, the "Rune Angel Troupe", and a new feature that combines the new Brave Heart frame with any of the Angels. Each of the Rune Angels has a connection to one of the Galaxy Angels, such as Apricot Sakuraba, the younger sister of Milfeulle Sakuraba. Just like the original Galaxy Angel, the Galaxy Angel II series will have multiple games and already has a manga adaptation and comedic anime spinoff, both of which are currently running. The second "Galaxy Angel II" game was released in October 2007 entitled "Galaxy Angel II Mugen Kairou no Kagi".

The success of the video game and anime series influenced the creation of a manga series based on the video game universe.

In Japan, the series became so popular that a musical based on the series was made. Entitled "GALAXY ANGEL ~The Musical~", it debuted in March and December 2005, and featured cast members who also worked on "Galaxy Angel II".

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 fifteen 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.

The story is about a group of women and girls who go on government-sponsored humanitarian missions as the "Angel Troupe" (Angel-tai) to search for "Lost Technology", generally a plot device to set up amusing and absurd humor typical of the show, rife with obscure Japanese puns. Many of the devices look like extremely mundane objects like sticks or rice cookers, but have fantastic powers like mutating organisms or as destructive weapons.

Emblem FramesDesigned with Lost Technology, all Emblem Frames possesses more advanced technology than even the latest military starship, with equipment such as Gravity Generators, Shielding, as well as a Chrono Drive System, which allows them to travel at high speeds across the galaxy. It is said that just a single Emblem Frames is equivalent to that of an entire fleet (which is not exactly true, depending on their emotions). However, it is discovered in the first game that the simulation of a single frame defeating the entire fleet happens to be just Milfeulle's luck. The computer system eventually controlled the fleet to fire at each other and losing to Lucky Star without almost any resistance. Each Emblem Frame is controlled by both the pilot's thoughts and emotions (via the H.A.L.O. System), and if their emotions become unstable, the less efficient the Emblem Frame becomes, to the point where it ceases to function altogether.

Elsior (エルシオール, pronounced E-Lu-Shior)

A spaceship built using the same Lost Technology as the Emblem Frames, the Elle Ciel serves as the home and mothership of the Moon Angel Troupe. Originally a ceremonial ship of peace, it has found a greater calling as a rallying beacon during times of great turmoil, notable events are during the Battles against Eonia's Rebel Forces (Galaxy Angel), the Invasion of the Val-Fasq (Galaxy Angel: Moonlit Lovers), and the Battle to Liberate EDEN (Galaxy Angel: Eternal Lovers).
