Galaxy Angel X · review
Galaxy Angel X (4th Season) Honestly, I'm not even sure what I could say about Galaxy Angel that hasn't been said in the past three write-ups I have done already. Galaxy Angel X is absolutely the wildest and craziest season of Galaxy Angel. The episodic nature of the anime makes it easy to follow, but in X, it gets so much harder. Just about everything shown in X has no true lasting effect. All the stories and zany elements shown to the viewer only last for "that" specific episodic part. With each episode having two "parts" that never continue from one another, Galaxy Angel Xis really the wildest season.
We're introduced to a new character this season, Karasuma Chitose. She appears to be really friendly and just wants to make friends, but her means of doing so are so unordinary that she eventually becomes hell-bent on wanting to destroy the Angel Brigade; this also causes a lot of episodes with her to be really funny and absolutely crazy as she tries to juggle two different personalities.
Mint, Milfuelle, Vanilla, Forte and Ranpha (Normad too) are still an absolute blast to watch and with Galaxy Angel X, the scenarios are crazier than ever before, the solutions are just as ridiculous and it makes Galaxy Angel X seem like it's on steroids compared to everything else we've seen.
Music and sound are hugely upgraded this season. Everything sounds better, there are less recycled audio and best of all, a ton of great music choices for when the case arises. Absolutely loved the direction X took in terms of sound/audio because it is probably the best season in this regard.
Story: Literally isn't any. Lost Technology and the crazy sidetracking that occurs is just that, crazy and wild. Aside from Chitose, don't expect anything to happen with a canon/long term effect. The 13 episodes or 26 scenarios are all wildly different from one another and it's best to have no expectation at all when going into the last season.
The biggest difference Galaxy Angel X has, compared to the other seasons is that it's the only season where I felt that it would be best if you watched the previous seasons. There are no introductions made, no information filled for viewers, it's all things that should be known by now. As such, X starts off with a bang and finishes with one too, so only recommend X for fans of the previous season. There are also many references to past episodes in older seasons too, a nice treat for those who've seen Galaxy Angel from start to finish.
Galaxy Angel, as a whole, is a super slice of life anime that uses a sci-fi background to place the Angel Brigade in zany and out of this world situations. The characters are all great, the locations can be really fun and the comedy is really really good. If you're bored and want something fun and funny to watch, give Galaxy Angel a try.
10/10 for Galaxy Angel X.
