What happens

Angel Links (星方天使エンジェルリンクス, Seihō Tenshi Enjeru Rinkusu; lit. "Angels of the Stars: Angel Links") is a Japanese anime television series produced by Sunrise. It was originally aired across the Japanese Wowow television network from April 7 to June 30, 1999. It is a spin-off of the manga Outlaw Star by Takehiko Itō. A series of light novels titled Hoshi Hou Yuugeki Tai Angel Links (星方遊撃隊エンジェルリンクス), written and illustrated by Ibuki Hideaki, began publication prior to the anime series. A short one-volume manga adaptation loosely retells the story. The anime was released in the U.S. by Bandai. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
