What are the differences between the manga and anime versions of Excel Saga?


How does the anime for Excel Saga differ from the manga? More specifically,
does the plot in the Excel Saga anime depart significantly from that in the
manga?

I've read that some characters only appear in the anime. What are notable
differences between the characters who appear in the manga and those who
appear in the anime? Are there any other differences? Is the structure of the
anime (i.e. one episode spoofs of different genres) different from that of the
manga or are there similarities?




I've only read a bit of the manga, but as far as I can tell, the manga was
more of a focused satire on the state of Japan's economy and politics in the
'90s and early 2000s (a bit more like the later, similar series _Nerima Daikon
Brothers_ ). It didn't have as much genre parody as the anime did. It also had
the character of Elgala, a third ACROSS agent who works alongside Excel and
Hyatt.
