5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap Fun Anime, July 24, 2006

This review is from: Maze DVD Collection (DVD)

First of all, only watch it in Japanese with English Subtitles. As a rule, I never watch the Dubbed version of Anime. Because the Japanese voice actors are almost ALWAYS way better than the American voice actors.

Second, don't take it seriously. If you are looking for a Cowboy Bepop/Trigun experience this isn't it. If you are looking for an intellectual experience like Lain, this also isn't it.

Third, If you are offended by off color sexual humor this is not for you. If anime like Slayers, Sorcerer Hunters, Golden Boy, and Excel Saga bother you, then you wouldn't enjoy Maze.

However...!!!...if you are looking to purchase a low cost, fun, WTF, kind of anime - I completely recommend this series. I picked it up b/c it was only 30.00$ and had 52 episodes. I figured it would be something to keep me entertained for a couple of days. Plus, how can you not buy an anime that describes itself on the cover by saying, "Maze is a college girl who one day lands on another planet, has amnesia and discovers she has super powers."

Overall, this anime is fun, fast-paced and completely wacky. And it is absolutely re-watchable. I wouldn't pay more than 40.00$ for it but I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the wacky anime humor. BTW, I have all of the anime discussed in this review, to give you an idea of my taste.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's now my fandom, May 30, 2009

This review is from: Maze DVD Collection (DVD)

It's one of the few Anime series that dosen't center around a young girl finding herself (in the usual sense). It has a lot of elements which I haven't found in other Anime. But, I'll be honest, I usually like the really obscure stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very underated title, WONDERFUL ZANY FANTASY, May 25, 2011

NOTICE:This review MAY contain spoilers.
Simply put, I think this is one of the most underated anime titles that ever got an American relase. Personally, I LOVED this show, it has a pretty original plot (although it has themes we've seen before like gender bender) lovely character designs, really nice animated sequences (esp. the dulger summons and the OP which I think is one of the best that was done in the 90's) and AWSOME music (the op and ed.1 are very neat songs that are worth a listen). There were a few parts I didn't understand, mainly the episodes when Maze and Mill were in a futuristic world because it kinda stated it was the fantasy world many years ago. I only have two cons about this show. The first is that some of the animation is a bit grainy. The second is the english voice of Male Maze (Akira), for Greg Wolfe made him sound much older than his actual age. Other than that this show is a whole lot of fun. I would like to see this title re-relesed (a re- master would be nice too), but it will probably never happen. Heck, I have yet to see actual Japanese R2 dvd releases of this one! So, if you have the money (this is OOP and quite expensive) check this out. I think it is worth it.
