Tags actionAction anime usually involve a fairly straightforward story of good guys versus bad guys, where most disputes are resolved by using physical force. It often contains a lot of shooting, explosions and fighting., adventureAdventures are exciting stories, designed to provide an action-filled, energetic experience for the viewer. Rather than the predominant emphasis on violence and fighting, the viewer of adventures can live vicariously through the travels, conquests, explorations, creation of empires, struggles and situations that confront the main characters. Adventure films are often, but not always, set in an historical period., comedyAnime whose central struggle causes hilarious results. These stories are built upon funny characters, situations and events. A comedy anime is laced with humour and sets out to provoke laughter from the audience. Japanese humour can be a bit strange to westerners, so if you`re new to this type of humour, just bear with it; it`ll most likely grow on you if you`re a fan of other kinds of comedy., ecchiEcchi, or etchi (エッチ), is a common Japanese word meaning "indecent", "lewd", "frisky" or "sexy"; its usage can be compared to the English word "naughty". Among western anime fans, the term is used when vague sexual content, such as skimpy clothing or nudity, is prominent. In Japanese, however, it is a catch-all term for all things anyhow sexual in nature, mild or otherwise., fantasyImaginative or fanciful work, especially one dealing with supernatural elements and themes., isekaiAn isekai story is one in which the lead characters are transferred to and become stuck or trapped in another world completely different from the one they lived in up until the transfer, commonly a fictional world. They generally cannot come back permanently without meeting a highly specific goal. In some cases, they will seek and eventually find a way to return; in others, they will gleefully embrace their new life., mechaMecha in Japanese basically means mechanical things; everything from an electric whisk or a car to a spaceship or a robot. Here however we limit it to the more exotic things usually referred to as mecha anime: robots, whether controlled by a human or not, and their ilk., novelA novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, normally written in prose form, and which is typically published as a book. Manga, comics, or visual novels do not fit this description and are not considered novels; including a small number of illustrations, however, is still permissible, which means that light novels are considered novels., parallel worldParallel world, parallel universe, or alternative reality is a self-contained separate reality coexisting with our own. A fictional world can just as well have an alternative reality, it doesn`t need to be our reality. To put it more simply, this category is to show if more than 1 world/universe/reality is present in the anime. Multiple timelines of the same world/universe/reality are NOT considered parallel worlds., seinenSeinen, literally "young man", is one of the main demographic classifications applied to manga, and, by extension, to anime, especially manga-based ones. As the name implies, seinen works are marketed primarily to an audience of young men; the age range commonly understood to be the target of such works goes roughly from 17 to somewhere in the 40s. - [similar]

A teenage girl Maze wakes up in an unfamiliar world — her bedroom having been torn from the rest of her house. She desperately tries to make sense of this strange world when suddenly a little girl named Mill hugs her and starts calling her big sister. As it turns out Mill is a princess in need of protection by Maze. And if that was not bizarre enough, Maze now turns into a man at night, and becomes big sister/brother to Mill.

Maze meets up with all sorts of strange friends, most of whom are attracted to her. And male Maze, in turn, falls for most of the female cast. These friends wind up protecting Maze and Mill, helping the latter to eventually reclaim the throne.

Maze Megaburst Space is a really Good Classic Anime Series, if you enjoyed either the "Tenchi Muyo" OVA Series or the "Slayers" Anime Series you should enjoy Maze as well, the only really disappointing thing regarding the whole "Maze Megaburst Space" Series is the Original Uncensored Master Tapes were lost not long after there Original Releases on Laser Disk, so the only Uncensored Copy of Maze is on Laser Disk and the Masters to the Maze Megaburst Space Giant Movie were lost completely and doesn't look like it ever got a release other than in the cinemas in Japan... But overall a very enjoyable series, from the late 1990's!
for fans

Not a great show, but a nice one. If you like Tenchi Muyou, you'll like Maze.

Aaah, why did they mess this so bad? The opening song kicks ass, the story had potencial, the characters were interesting and the makers just gave up and went for retarded goofball comedy. But then again this is a J.C. Staff show, so there is no way they could do better.

STORY SECTION: 2/10 [Nice blend, bad flavor.]
The scriptwriters had no idea of what they were doing. They just threw good ideas in the pot and then realized they had no idea of how to cook them.
- Let’s have a girl transported to a magical land. Magical lands full of huge monsters and knights are really attractive.
- Let’s have the heroine being the target of a sinister conspiracy. That will add mystery to the story.
- Let’s have the heroine turn into a guy, during nighttime. Gender blending always works.
- Let’s have her male side to be a really super-powerful and horny guy. Horny heavy-dudes are in fashion.
- Let’s have the gentle heroine/ anti-hero pilot a huge mecha. Mecha are cool!
- Let’s have the mecha being summoned out of the blue by a silly girl. Silly girls and monster robots make a nice antithesis.
- Let’s have the girl being really innocent, in love with the heroine and sexual target of her male side. This will attract all the pervs.
- Let’s add lots of nude and sexual innuendo that never goes too far. That will keep the virgin dorks to be indefinitely unsatisfied and to keep watching in hopes of getting something good.
- Let’s have all these elements taking place in silly, predictable adventures. And let’s end the series without planning a proper conclusion. Who cares about the plot if all these stuff appear on the screen?

Well, I care. If they had given attention into wrapping the story in fewer episodes, it would be a masterwork. But they didn’t. Shame on them for turning a nice blend of ideas into a pile of pointless rubbish.

ART & SOUND SECTION: 6/10 [It’s a trap!]
The intro song kicks ass but beyond that, nothing of importance. Voice Acting and special effects were lukewarm. The world is a generic phantasy land, everyone is dressed in typical cloths, character figures are rather low on details, lots of nude boobies on display, lots of dry rays and explotions. In other words, nothing of real interest. Some weird concepts here and there don’t help improving the general feeling of commoness.

CHARACTER SECTION: 2/10 [You again?!]
Undeveloped story, undeveloped characters; it goes with the territory. Shallow and uninteresting archetypes you can find in most series. Ok, to be honest, the leading heroine was very interesting for a few episodes, when had transpoted to the weird world and was still unaware of her surrounds. But she got boring quite quickly, when the stale plot kicked in. After that she became just a generic girl with a horny man living inside her and doing boring stuff.

VALUE & ENJOYMENT SECTION: 1/10 [I liked the premise more than the actual series.]
- The story goes nowhere.
- The battles are lame.
- The characters are generic.
- Too many sexual promises but no real sex.
Scroll through it but don’t have high hopes for something good.

VERDICT: 3/10
I had really good hopes for this series. It was a mix of a dozen elements I’m quite fond of. But it failed miserably to blend them or make good use of them.

SUGGESTION LIST
Outlaw Star. It has a naked girl becoming the energy core of a spaceship.
Ranma ½. It features a man turning into a girl. And it is quite funny too.
The Vision of Escaflowne. It also features a girl transporting to a magical land and piloting a mecha. Only this one is actually with a great story and wonderful characters.

First off, make sure you don't see this one dubbed, I mean dubbed it gets a 3... or maybe a 2.

The animation is so-so, sure it's not new but there's nothing exciting here.

Sound is there, you don't really notice it and the intro song you listen to once then you fast forward past it. The English voice actors are horrid, extremely out of place. The Japanese voice actors are better but the screaming gets boring after a while.

The story is unengaging from the start, there are some highlights that lift the series as a whole but in general it's just plodding along with completely wasted fight scenes where the female / male hero first is at a great disadvantage then annihilates the opposition. Or the constant boring hints at possible ecchiness that will never happen. ;)

The characters themselves are pretty varying with most combinations of sexual orientations (duh) but beyond that they're either crybabies with serious maturity issues or generally boring. The main character evolves throughout the story, the others simply don't and the villains are villains, nothing more or less.

You won't watch this anime a second time, only reason I actually kept watching it was because I wanted to know how it ended. I don't feel it is an anime I can recommend to others, I didn't actually feel this anime draw me in a single time, it was like watching a stupid boring TV show with a storyline I wanted to see to the end so I could go to bed without thinking about it.

· nudityNudity is the state of wearing no clothing and exposing the bare skin or intimate parts. NO FRONTAL NUDITY (visible genitals) = 1.5 STARS OR LESS. Especially gratuitous fanservice shows tend to show their characters frequently without any clothes, though often hiding genitals through the means of additions like steam. *
· plot continuityConsistency of the characteristics of persons, plot, objects, places and events seen by the viewer. A single linear focused plot is highly continuous. A truly random plot is highly discontinuous. **
· actionAction anime usually involve a fairly straightforward story of good guys versus bad guys, where most disputes are resolved by using physical force. It often contains a lot of shooting, explosions and fighting. **
· · fightingFor some reason or other one faction has to take it out on some opponent via fight or battle. Typical examples of this are all the anime with "endless pointless fighting" tag. weightless
· · swordplayThe act or art of using a sword or similar weapon skillfully. *
· adventureAdventures are exciting stories, designed to provide an action-filled, energetic experience for the viewer. Rather than the predominant emphasis on violence and fighting, the viewer of adventures can live vicariously through the travels, conquests, explorations, creation of empires, struggles and situations that confront the main characters. Adventure films are often, but not always, set in an historical period. **
· comedyAnime whose central struggle causes hilarious results. These stories are built upon funny characters, situations and events. A comedy anime is laced with humour and sets out to provoke laughter from the audience. Japanese humour can be a bit strange to westerners, so if you`re new to this type of humour, just bear with it; it`ll most likely grow on you if you`re a fan of other kinds of comedy. **
· · parodyAnime that imitate other stories (can be from TV, film, books, historical events, ...) for comic effect by exaggerating the style and changing the content of the original. Also known as spoofs. It can also refer to when whole elements of one work are lifted out of their context and reused. *
· · slapstickSlapstick humour is generally recognized by lots of physical abuse, horseplay and practical jokes. Also often seen are impossible situations, using sounds to illustrate impossible stunts that aren`t shown on-screen and to create tension for audience anticipation. **+
· ecchiEcchi, or etchi (エッチ), is a common Japanese word meaning "indecent", "lewd", "frisky" or "sexy"; its usage can be compared to the English word "naughty". Among western anime fans, the term is used when vague sexual content, such as skimpy clothing or nudity, is prominent. In Japanese, however, it is a catch-all term for all things anyhow sexual in nature, mild or otherwise. **
· · breast fondlingBreast fondling is the act of touching, groping, or fondling the breasts of a person, typically female. weightless
· · pantsu"Panties" in Japanese. Upskirt views in various positions are typical, however all forms of partial or fully exposed panties are accepted. Exposure is usually accidental, but may also be deliberate. Pantsu views may be exclusive to the viewer without impacting any characters. Bikinis are not pantsu. +
· · skimpy clothingWhen a job needs to get done you need the appropriate clothing on the appropriate persons. That calls for preferably scantily clad young ladies. weightless
· gender benderTerm used to refer to a person who takes on the role of their opposite gender. This often only reaches to the extent of cross-dressing (involving physical appearance and clothing only), but in rarer cases, involves a total gender swap (which seems to be more common in anime) - where the willing or unwilling victim receives a body opposite of their original gender (either permanently or temporarily), with all natural parts per their new body fully (or just all-out amply) included. weightless
· haremThree or more characters, generally female, are under the influence of one character, normally male. Their interactions are romantically or sexually loaded. The female characters often draw heavily from stock archetypes. Sexual tones are applied to the lead`s behavior and to the members` depiction. The lead will often be physically abused for his behavior. The harem may be only a support to an existing or predictable relationship, or the lead may end up in relationships with most or all members. +
· henshinJapanese for "transformation" (metamorphosis or disguise). A "henshin anime" is any anime, where the characters or their costumes transform, such as Sailor Moon. The henshin switches on the character`s special powers, and is frequently accompanied by a costume change. Often the change of clothing is the only outward indicator that the character has changed and yet nobody seems to notice the hero`s true self. Most henshin heroes have a special item which they use to change into their heroic form. These items are usually activated by a command phrase (which is often in Engrish, for some reason), triggering a transformation sequence. *+
· incestIncest is human sexual activity between family members or close relatives by consanguinity (blood relations) and sometimes by affinity (marriage or stepfamily), adoption, clan, or lineage. The incest taboo is among the most widespread cultural taboos in present and past societies. Most modern societies have laws regarding incest or social restrictions on closely consanguineous marriages, with first cousins being the closest kin that is often (but not always) considered legally acceptable.
· · brother-sister incestImmoral or illegal sexual relations between two siblings of opposite sex. weightless
· monster of the weekOn a pretty much regular basis — weekly or episodic — the protagonists engage in some kind of conflict. This can be an actual showdown between mecha, or the all-out fight against an enemy, or a (car) race that needs to be won. This can make the anime quite repetitive. weightless
· romanceRomance describes a story that deals with love between two or more characters typically also having an optimistic ending. Romance is also a difficulty encountered when creating a harem. *
· · shoujo aiShoujo Ai means girls love, and as such it explores what happens when two girls (or women) fall in love. This is not to be mistaken for Yuri which is (or, at least, how this term is often used by the western audience) a hentai genre. This is not; that means there is no graphic sex. The male version is Shounen Ai. Cute girls doing cute things (CGDCT) is often mistaken as low level Yuri or Shoujo Ai. If there is no Yuri or Shoujo Ai subtext, i.e. if there is no romantic subtext, only tag CGDCT. *
· · shounen aiShounen Ai means boys love, and thus explores what happens when two boys (or men) fall in love. This is not to be mistaken for Yaoi which is (or, at least, how this term is often used by the western audience) a hentai genre. This is not; that means there is no graphical sex. The female version is Shoujo Ai. +
· · unrequited loveAt least one character has a romantic interest in another one, but the feelings are not returned. This is the cornerstone of all love triangles or love polygons. +
· · · unrequited shounen aiAt least one male character has a romantic or sexual interest in another male character, but the feelings are not returned. This can be because the recipient is oblivious, straight, or simply not interested. weightless
· speculative fictionSpeculative fiction is an umbrella genre encompassing fiction with certain elements that do not exist in the real world, often in the context of supernatural, futuristic or other imaginative themes. This includes, but is not limited to, science fiction, fantasy, superhero fiction, horror, utopian and dystopian fiction, fairytale fantasy, supernatural fiction, as well as combinations thereof.
· · fantasyImaginative or fanciful work, especially one dealing with supernatural elements and themes. **
· · · fairyA fairy is a type of mythical being or legendary creature in European folklore, a form of spirit, often described as metaphysical, supernatural, or preternatural. *
· · · magicMagic is the art of purportedly manipulating aspects of reality either by supernatural means or through knowledge of unknown occult laws. *
· · · · spellcastingThe magic version of “call your attacks”. The protagonist will explicitly call out the magical incantation for the spells. weightless
· · science fictionScience fiction stories usually focus on how situations could be different in the future when we are more technologically advanced; due to either our own achievements or having met with other civilizations whom we have learned from. *
· · · mechaMecha in Japanese basically means mechanical things; everything from an electric whisk or a car to a spaceship or a robot. Here however we limit it to the more exotic things usually referred to as mecha anime: robots, whether controlled by a human or not, and their ilk. **
· · · · robotA robot is an automatically guided machine, able to do tasks on its own. Another common characteristic is that by its appearance or movements, a robot often conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own. Not to be confused with android (human-like robot).
· · · · · piloted robotPiloted Robots are, as the name suggests, robots that cannot control themselves; they need to be steered from somewhere, this can be from a human sitting inside or a remote controlled option. *
· · time travelIn time travel anime characters are transported through time either figuratively or literally to find themselves either in the past or the future *
· super powerBe it an ancient Greek Heracles, a cybernetic muscle-man, or a fourteen year-old girl in a mini-skirted sailor suit. As long as they have super powers, they`re in the show. *
· tropesA trope is a commonly recurring literary and rhetorical devices, motifs or clichés in creative works.
· · lost technologyAny advanced technology or science-related knowledge that was lost for some reason fits the description. This could be technology from a time before a post-apocalyptic cataclysm, knowledge gained a long time ago but forgotten, or the relics of an old alien civilization only recently discovered. weightless
· tentacleA tentacle or bothrium (plural: bothria) is one of usually two or more elongated flexible organs present in animals, especially invertebrates. Usually, Tentacles are used for feeding, feeling and grasping. *+
· TO BE MOVED TO CHARACTERTags under this parent tag are going to be moved to character tags and removed from the anime they`re currently assigned to. They will be blocked from the anime system once that move is complete. Please help with that job if you know what characters they should be assigned to.
· · catchphraseA catchphrase is a sound, word or phrase commonly used by a person. That may be simply out of habit, or in an attempt to deliver some form of image, like that of cuteness. In fiction, characters often use catchphrases as a way to deliver specific personality traits. weightless
· · energeticAn energetic character, often also called a genki character, shows great, often excessive levels of activity or vitality, and seems to always be doing everything extra fast. Genki characters are often slightly, or sometimes very, eccentric, and are filled with confidence and determination, regardless of whether they are competent or not; in fact, they often have little to no actual competence at whatever they generally do. weightless
· · protection complexA character has a protection complex if the character is overly protective of other characters, beyond what would be considered a "normal" or "expected" duty of care. The magnitude of overprotection can vary. It can be as low as constantly nagging someone to "stay safe". It can be as extreme as the protector making it their mission in life to protect the other character. weightless
· · teleportationTeleportation is the transfer of matter from one point to another, possibly a distant one, without application of force, and generally instantly. This contradicts scientific law as we know it, and is therefore nowadays impossible. Sometimes it appears as a paranormal or supernatural ability, and sometimes it is shown in science fiction through technological devices backed up by scientific laws yet to be discovered. weightless
· · tomboyA girl who acts and dresses like a boy and enjoys rough, noisy activities traditionally associated with boys. weightless
· TO BE MOVED TO EPISODETags under this parent tag are going to be moved to episode tags and removed from the anime they`re currently assigned to. They will be blocked from the anime system once that move is complete. Please help with that job if you know what episodes they should be assigned to.
· · boobs in your faceThe character`s face is pressed into a female`s cleavage. This may be accidental or actually intended by the female character, or even a result of a device by the other character. This action is generally seen as sexually charged by the viewers and often also by the cast, so it will usually happen in an ecchi context; as such, something such as a mother hugging her child won`t generally count. weightless
· Japanese productionno description set weightless
· novelA novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, normally written in prose form, and which is typically published as a book. Manga, comics, or visual novels do not fit this description and are not considered novels; including a small number of illustrations, however, is still permissible, which means that light novels are considered novels. weightless
· placeThe places the anime can take place in. Includes more specific places such as a country on Earth, as well as more general places such as a dystopia or a mirror world.
· · fictional locationA fictional location is run by different rules than your common and ordinary world: fictional worlds, computer-generated worlds, fantasy worlds, magical worlds, parallel worlds accessible through portals, etc. A fantasy world typically involves magic or magical abilities, and/or a medieval theme. A world that generally shares the characteristics of, and/or is generally indistinguishable from the real world (bar research on a "more than cursory" level), would NOT be considered a fictional world. **
· · · parallel worldParallel world, parallel universe, or alternative reality is a self-contained separate reality coexisting with our own. A fictional world can just as well have an alternative reality, it doesn`t need to be our reality. To put it more simply, this category is to show if more than 1 world/universe/reality is present in the anime. Multiple timelines of the same world/universe/reality are NOT considered parallel worlds. **
· timeThis placeholder lists different epochs in human history and more vague but important timelines such as the future, the present and the past.
· · pastAnime that takes place in the past or clearly seems to take place in the past in case of an alternative universe. This category should almost always go together with one of its sub-categories, because the past can either be a depiction of a historical event(s) or not, in which case it would be alternative past.
· · · alternative pastAn anime that takes place in an alternative past is an anime that clearly does not belong to the future or the present, and isn`t tied particularly closely to our history, or has ties to our history but only as a premise. *
· · presentSomewhere between past and future. *
· seinenSeinen, literally "young man", is one of the main demographic classifications applied to manga, and, by extension, to anime, especially manga-based ones. As the name implies, seinen works are marketed primarily to an audience of young men; the age range commonly understood to be the target of such works goes roughly from 17 to somewhere in the 40s. weightless
· TV censoringThe TV version is censored and later DVD/BD releases are uncensored, so the money-grubbing capitalists can make a couple more bucks at our expense. weightless
· amnesiaThe character suffers from some kind of amnesia (memory disturbance or loss). This may mean inability to memorize new information, or inability to recollect old memories. Since there are many types of memory, the person may e.g. forget who they are but still retain learned skills. Amnesia is fairly common in fiction as a plot device. In fact, because it allows for major plot changes while requiring little creativity from the author, it may be subject to heavy overuse. weightless
· coming of ageIn the strict sense the Coming of age describes a young person`s transition from adolescence to adulthood. In anime the term is used in a more general sense where the protagonists have to face a challenge, make an important decision in their life, take on responsibility, or learn a lesson, and by overcoming these obstacles they reach a higher level of maturity. *
· disasterA disaster is a large-scale situation that causes great loss of or damage or threat to life, health, property, society, or the environment, irrespective of its source or cause. Disasters have substantial, long-lasting negative repercussions, and great effort must be spent in order to undo or mitigate their effects.
· · post-apocalypticAfter a major cataclysm has occurred. World War III, an alien invasion, plague, global warming or some other general disaster are common themes to build a post-apocalyptic world upon, where the effects were severe enough that mankind barely survived. *
· · warAn armed conflict is the main theme or plays a large role in this anime. **
· isekaiAn isekai story is one in which the lead characters are transferred to and become stuck or trapped in another world completely different from the one they lived in up until the transfer, commonly a fictional world. They generally cannot come back permanently without meeting a highly specific goal. In some cases, they will seek and eventually find a way to return; in others, they will gleefully embrace their new life. weightless
· school lifeSince a large part of the anime audience still takes part in school life or is visiting college, it is only natural to choose a setting the audience can identify with, be it elementary, middle, or high school. For the older viewers a college setting with more mature real-life problems is appropriate. And since clubs take up so much time in the lives of students, these are obviously also important. *
· · universitySince college/university students are typically at least eighteen years old, with stories covering mature everyday life topics, you will find the college setting quite often in seinen and josei anime. *
beach visitEvery anime has to have them, episodes in which the characters for whatever reason end up going to the sea, ocean, random island or the local pond. 1 eps applies to episode(s): 21
flashbackA flashback is a moment where events from the past are recounted. Flashbacks are used primarily to give insight into a character`s mind or to reveal information previously kept from the audience. They normally consist of mostly new content; they are different from and should not be confused with recaps, where old content is shown again for no particular purpose. Generally, to qualify as a flashback, the scene must advance the narrative. The opposite is a flashforward. See also in medias res. 1 eps applies to episode(s): 10
hot springs visitAn onsen is a term for hot springs in the Japanese language, though the term is often used to describe the bathing facilities and inns around the hot springs. Often the cast of a show somehow ends up going to an onsen because of various reasons, such as winning a lottery ticket. 2 eps applies to episode(s): 15, S1
journey to the center of the mindA journey to the center of the mind or dreamworld trip is a "visit" that involves characters entering and visiting another character`s mind, the "dreamworld", a place that only exists in the mind of an asleep and dreaming person, or, more generally, any place in someone`s mind or other world that is not part of reality. Not to be confused with dream sequence, where a sleeping character has a dream, and the episode`s plot includes playing through that dream. 1 eps applies to episode(s): 15
