Angel Links...
A while back, I picked up Angel Links...
There is some stock footage of the Angel Links vessel launching from the planet's surface. But, the undeniable star of the show, at least in my humble opinion, has to be Duuz. Sadly, Duuz only gets one episode to really shine. There is some bloodshed, but, not much in the way of gore. There is, of course, the ubiquitous shower scene in which Meifon bares a couple of breasts, but, there are no actual naughty bits. Overall, Angel Links was a lot of fun to watch, but, the ending was a bit unexpected. Angel Links a 4 out of 5.
Angel Links follows the adventures of Meifon Li, the head of an space-based organization that provides anti-pirate services to worthy causes. Angel Links and its sister series, Outlaw Star are set in the same universe, but, are told from different sides of the conflict between pirates and pirate-hunters.Volume 1: Avenging Angel
Meifon Li is... ...the head of a major corporation, ...the captain of a state-of-the-art space ship, ...a formidable martial artist, a skilled negotiator, ... only 16 years old! Meifon is an extraordinary girl, with an extraordinary tale to tell. Join Meifon as she and the crew of the Angel Links run a free pirate-fighting service. She's rounded up a crack staff of experts, including the master strategist Valeria and the unstoppable Dragonite Duuz. They're going to clean up the galaxy, and they're not afraid to get their uniforms dirty!
Volume 2: Fallen Angel

And Meifon gets a mysterious invitation to hear "the Song of Mermaids." She's confident that she knows who her secret admirer is, but this date turns out differently than anyone could imagine!
Volume 3: Broken Angel
Sometimes it's a struggle to survive. Change is in the air at the Links Group, and everyone's life seems to be at a turning point.

This time, however, it's strictly a ground caper and she and Kosei set off alone, and face a Tao Master! And later, Valeria, who was once a protegee strategist for the awesome Einhorn Empire comes face-to-face with an old comrade who offers her a deal.
