| Season 3, and not quite meeting expectations.
So... more of the same, all repackaged with new OPs and EDs and more episodes. Repackaged with the same quality? Not very.
For the third part of the technics series: the characters. You'll notice that this season's character category is an 8 - falling one per season. This is because as much as the Angel Brigade are lovable to their own rights, more of the same isn't clicking very well. It's exploit after exploit, and you'd wish something would actually happen to them. Their charms can only bring them as far, but with another 52-episode batch, it's pushing to their limits.
(The addition of the three new characters don't really make a difference to the series. VERY FEW episodes focus on them, and they get pushed aside as cameos most of the time. They weren't even amusing in the halftime specials. Nice try.)
Second technics of this review: the "serious" episode that is always put at the end of the series. Refer to paragraph two below; basically, the script gets worse each season. The final episode for this season is not very engaging, at for most times very unbelievable (compared to the rest of the series' setting: bad). I'll give it points for the DEATH STAR parody, but it really failed as the final episode (does not include the two "specials" that are available after-season).
From the previous review, I noted that there is a moving trend towards poppier OPs and EDs. Yes, I'm getting quite annoyed by the "doki doki"'s and "shuwa shuwa"'s so I'm forced to skip them most of the time. It's a shame because the animation sequence behind them are so amusing to watch every time. While the OPs get progressively worse, the EDs are holding it out. They're better in terms of ending the episode with a mood, and they're more fun. The second ED is better than the first ED if only for the sexier drawings of the Angels in dresses in sparkling confetti. The lyrics for all songs are nothing to scoff at, though - cheesy and Engrish-ridden, I'll be damned if they don't torture the ears of native-speakers with a little ESL.
The quality of the stories are also going down. While more of the same is fun, it's not always if they stretch ideas for 26 into 52. This leads to half of the stories being lame and uninspired, with very few standout performances. As noted by the previous review, the tragic stories are always better - the series really needed more tragic stories (in addition to my anticipation of the porting of the game trilogy to America, which I hope will have a nice balance of comedy and story; I have no idea what the canon story is about XD). Still, they are quite enjoyable if you're not plowing through them for the sake of completion.
Season 4? Dammit I hope the game gets translated before I finish it, because it would really suck with my hype and passion even after watching it. I hope Chitose can bring some fresh stuff to the table, too.

| Another week, another anime completed. Anyway, on to the review. As always, paragraphs that begins with ** will contain what I assume are spoilers (chances are they are only small spoilers but you should not read it if you don't want to know anything that can ruin the storyline).
First off, I want to say that I was very unimpressed with the first season as the laughs were definitely lacking. Season two, it got better but still did not impress me to the point where I am satisfied. However, season 3 finally had made me happy. There were definitely more laughs in this one and it is the best of the three that I have seen (I have not seen the fourth season yet so I can't say that this is the best season).

| Animation- Animation is excellent, backgrounds too and the sketches of the characters
Sounds- Songs good I mean excellent
Story- I like it!! Even though I think is unefficient but its ok because most of the episodes are funny!
Characters- Cute, especially Miffy and Mint; let me describe the characters ad tell why a perfect score:
Forte Stollen- A great shooter can make any targets possible and has a strong attitude.
Ranpha Framboise- Strong, energetic and likes boys a lot.
Mint Blancmanche- Rich, cute and smart
Mifeulle Sakuraba- Cute, a great chef, lucky and clumsy.
Malibu- Cute, serious and a science freak.
Cocomo- Sweet tooth, easily mad and adorable.
Vanilla- Quiet and religious.
The characters has a suited atitude for their apperance so that's why it is perfect.
Value- Value? Well, if I can I will watch this anime 3 times per episode
Enjoyment- I enjoy this a lot!!!

| The season 3 of Galaxy Angel is a noticable improvement over the ridiculously absurd season 2, but still does not have the same quality as season 1.
The animation is still the same as seasons 1 and 2, although the music has improved from the kindergarten style in season 2 to a more pop genre. Still not as good as season 1, but it is an improvement over the unbearable songs in season 2.
The feasability of the story has also improved from season 2, especially in the earlier episodes, which are some of the funniest Galaxy Angel episodes I have seen. Believe it or not, the first two episodes of season 3 are actually related story wise.
A few new characters are introduced, which is a plus, but the amount of times they appear are pretty scarce.
Season 3 is a definite improvement from season 2 and is of nearly the same quality as season 1. A definite must watch for Galaxy Angel fans, or just people looking for comedy in the form of anime.

| Galaxy Angel season 3 (a.k.a. Galaxy Angel A) introduces team Twin Star, and better develops the characters. The Galaxy Angels have disbanded, but Lt. Col. Volcott Huey reunites them for more misadventures.

| The best season of Galaxy Angel to date. GA3 has all the great comedy from season 1, the improved visuals and slightly deeper stories from season 2, improves upon them yet again; and gives us a full 26 (52 half-episodes) episode series. The comedy in these episodes is far and above some of the best I've seen, especialy since none of them need to use fanservice to drive the comedy. There was that one baseball ep from S1 or S2 that sort of used fanserivce, but there's no harem-style fanservice to be seen here. Vanilla gets a chance to show her stuff here as well, as she has a lot more episodes devoted to her, and in S3 she actual talks! Really pleased with the GA stuff so far, can't wait for season 4 =)

| Galaxy Angel 3 is similar to the impact that Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu is to FMP. The mood in GA 3 is a lot more comedy, more zaniness and finally the characters seem to come out of their shells, so to speak. I found GA 3 the best of the sequels to GA thus far. I have not seen Season 4 yet.

| THE FUNNIEST SEASON OF GALAXY ANGEL!!
Pretty much the same animation and sound quality as before.
I found that the stories/jokes were even more hilariouse than in the previous seasons.
Great characters are really what brings out the comedy in this series. Vanilla actually talks more !! and you just gotta love Milfeulle :) Dont worry about the 2 kids in the beginning they appear in less than 15% of the series.
Still no fanservice which makes it even more of a masterpiece.

| Just when you fought the GA crazy comedy couldn't get any crazier, they went over board on this one. At times it really did went over board with all the comedy. It still lacks a story, but you are watching this anime mainly because you want to have some lol fun.
If you like brain dead, cute, werid, cheezey, crazy, and out of control stupid comedy, you'll like this one.
Btw... the way this anime goes, even the OP theme song written stupid comedy ALL over it. ^-^

| Series 1 and Series 3 are probably the best of this show!
I liked the OP theme but it doesn't compare to the original S1 OP, but it does try to follow it in melody and spirit!
Anyways, it's a good and humurous show with absolutely no story but don't let it stop you. Pretend it's a seires with different stories but same characters!

| The most hilarious of the three Galaxy Angel seasons. The level of insanity seems to be somewhat higher than in earlier seasons. Also, couple new characters are introduced..
As before, the storylines are very episodical and kind of irrelevant. I quite don't know why, but I liked each of them (probably if you make a crappy show insane enough, it somehow exceeds the quality/enjoyment-meter and loops back up to the high grades. Just a theory here). I also enjoyed the characters very much. There's no change in any of them, but I just love their different personalities. Some episodes are interestingly left totally without conclusion. Some people are irritated by this, some think it's something original.
There's no change in outlook either. Girls are still cute and backgrounds are colorful. I don't know about the background music, but at least the theme songs are absolutely brilliant. They're really energetic and motivating. If you can stand the cheesiness of those songs, get the OSTs somewhere.
I really liked the series. If you're not yet totally bored with the characters I'd recommend you to watch this series. Who could get bored with Vanilla, anyways. GIVE ME A GOD DAMN CUSHION!!

| excellent. the new characters provide something for the inept angel-tai to play against, and do add something to the third series.
you don't have to watch the first two series before this one (GA never was one for plots), but you really should, cause they're bloody great.

| This anime is very funny and entertaining. The characters are great. If you like the other Galaxy Angel series, this is more of the same with a few changes: new characters (all of them are good), new stories (again, excellent)...
If you like comedy, this is a must have.

| When you have a good concept-then imrove it. That is what they did. Take a winning formula added few characters-two kids, & another female commander
Anyone can jump into any episode as they are unrelated to one another and as always an insane story line for evey 15 minutes.

| Series was funny, but certainly not the best comedy I've seen. I'll just say that when it was funny it was, but there were too many instances where it tried to hard, and fell flat on its face. Was enjoyable while I watched it, but I don't think i'll ever buy this series, or watch it over again.

| what can I say ?
purely brilliant 3rd season !
now that you know the personalities of all the characters the jokes are even funnier and you notice how much effort is put into each detail.
this season introduces 3 new characters
and features of course all the previous as well ;-)
