Maze consists of a 1996 TV series (26 episodes), a 2 part OVA (time setting within the TV
plotline and yet it's almost an alternate universe in the OVA) (1997?) and a movie in 1998
(how long, if it was in theatres, dunno). The TV series and OVA have recently been
released by Software Sculptors (US) on DVD. The anime is based on the 6 Volume manga.
Action, adventure, magic, mechs, more than a hint of sex (looser moral standards permitted
since it was a midnight anime ^^), humour and one really, really annoying Princess.
As well as creating a new word in Japanese: Oneniisama = older brother/sister needed to describe
Maze since Maze is 2 people as one: a woman by day and a man by night who are actually...
Well, that would be giving too much of the plot away... ^^;
