This wild, high-energy series lampoons nearly every popular theme in anime -- and all in the absolute strangest ways possible. The star of Excel Saga is a girl named Excel, who's willing to do just about anything to please her master, Ilpalazzo, in his ill-planned efforts to take over the world. Excel drags her partner, Hyatt (who dies in nearly every episode), all over the universe in the name of doing a good job, meeting crazy characters, and having even crazier adventures.
