As this inane sci-fi jiggle series continues, attention shifts briefly from Meifon Li, the billionaire owner of a space protection service, to her personal assistant Kosei Hida. Despite his effete appearance, Kosei is quite the lady's man, but an ill-starred romance with the pirate Jesia ends before it really gets started in "The Rain upon the Stars." The remaining two episodes deal with how Meifon inherited two things from her grandfather: a staggering fortune and a vendetta against pirates in general and the pirate Goryu in particular. That vendetta may bring her into conflict with her fabulously wealthy suitor, Lem Lau. The storytelling in these adventures is weak at best, with the tone vacillating between silly--a spaceship crew who want to end an adventure early so they'll be on time for their reservation at a posh restaurant--to the ineffectually dramatic: Meifon casually fires a super-weapon that wounds or kills scores of innocent people. However, the real focus of the series is Meifon's redoubtable figure. Every garment she owns features a plunging neckline, and Taffei, an alien cat-bat combination who turns into a sword when needed, resides in her cleavage. Rated 13 Up for nudity, sexual situations, and violence. --Charles SolomonDescription

MAJOR improvement over volume 1.......2001-11-10
Angel Links is getting better.......2001-09-17
Mediocre, but perhaps a bit better than volume 1.......2001-06-24
Episode 4 is by far the best episode. It focuses on Kosei, the second in command, and reveals him as an accidental playboy, besieged by interested women. The next episode reveals the origins of Meifon's work upon the death of her grandfather. The last on this disc ventures into the mysterious past that's slowly being revealed about Meifon. The big improvement here is Kosei, who becomes a likeable character and elevates the show. That said, it's hard to really recommend Angel Links. It isn't notably bad in any way (although the English dub actress for Meifon was poorly cast), but it isn't especially good. I'm buying it because it is getting better and I like the genre.
One last content note: although nothing is really shown, on this one disc Meifon takes two showers on-screen for no apparent purpose. So beware if this offends you.
Nice Story, Nice FanService.......2001-06-03
However, if you want just fun and good looking girls ..., then you have just hit the jackpot.
Personally, I enjoyed the show, it was fun and realaxing.
Give it a try and you might enjoy it, I did.
At least we haven't see anyone choking anyone and saying "I am sick" yet.
