Right Stuf will release Galaxy Angel AA and Galaxy Angel S under the title Galaxy Angel AA + S. The company describes the release:

The wacky adventures of the Angel Brigade continue as they spread mayhem and mischief across the galaxy. As always, Milfeulle is so scatter-brained that she rarely has a clue to what's going on, but her infinite good luck gets her out of trouble. She's accompanied by her teammates, the gun-crazy Forte, man-hunting Ranpha, cosplay-obsessed Mint, ever-so-pious Vanilla and her AI companion Normad.

Join the Angel Brigade as they perform their normal duties searching for and protecting the Lost Technology, dieting to prepare for an evacuation drill and forging a pilot's license. In their spare time, they still manage to give a tour of the base, take a hot springs vacation and play a deadly game of volleyball to avenge a fallen comrade.

Galaxy Angel A and its sequel Galaxy Angel AA aired in 2002-2003 (the first 26 episodes aired under the title Galaxy Angel A and episodes 27-52 aired under the title Galaxy Angel AA). The 12-minute Galaxy Angel S special originally launched in 2003. Bandai Entertainment released Galaxy Angel A and Galaxy Angel AA between 2005-2008, and released Galaxy Angel S in 2008.

Right Stuf announced its license of Galaxy Angel A, Galaxy Angel AA, and Galaxy Angel S in July 2018. The company released Galaxy Angel A on Blu-ray Disc last August.
