Angel Links

Meifon Li, age 16, has inherited her grandfather's corporation which offers a free pirate-fighting service. She is the captain of their ship, the Angel Links.

The first bunch of episodes are mediocre. The stories it tells are pretty basic stuff in the beginning. The Angel Links and its crew protect ships from space pirates. There are also some character episodes that develop the main crew of the Angel Links, but I didn't think they were all that great. I think the show started getting interesting at episode seven. Some very interesting things about Meifon's past begin to surface and I thought the way things developed from there on was fantastic.

There is a mixture of spaceship battles and hand-to-hand combat. Watching the Angel Links in action isn't all that exciting. Meifon usually just uses the Links Cannon to destroy the competition. Also, the same animation is used in many of the episodes for its launching and attack sequences. The hand-to-hand combat ranges from decent to awesome. The animation really shines in some of the more important episodes, but during some of the others it just looks average.

One of the better aspects of the show is the main character, Meifon. Not only is she hot, but she has a fun personality that helps to make the show more enjoyable. Unfortunately, I can't really say that's true for some of the other characters aboard the Angel Links, most of which are average.

Angel Links is a mixed bag. The show doesn't have the greatest start, but it redeems itself later on. In the end, I was pleased with Angel Links and would say that it's a worthwhile series.
