I think this may of been originally a parody and/or satire of fantasy Anime shows, as seems to be a thing amongst the writers other works. But something got lost between the Light Novels and the adaptation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoru_Akahori
23:12-23:17 Using fairies as slave labor and controlling them with strings like they're puppets. That is one of the stupidest, but also one of the most creative and original things I've ever seen in fantasy.
I now want to commission an enormous fucking wall-mural-size painting of that exact thing. Seriously, I would pay Banksy ten grand if he'd make that shit on a building downtown... and if he wasn't a wanted criminal so it wouldn't count as aiding and abetting. Seems like his kind of subject matter, y'know?
A little trivia: The MC's are brother and sister that were separated by their parents for having a incestuous relationship. their desire to be together is what brought them to another world in the same body. the dragon in the trivia scene was voiced by the director of the anime, which was pretty funny. Imagine fan-subbing this anime and showing on Anime night 10 years ago to bunch of horny otaku. they thought this was a fucking masterpiece...and while working on Vision Of Escaflowne and doing i was left questioning my own life. Sage, you're going to in up mind breaking yourself doing this.
"The MC's are brother and sister that were separated by their parents for having a incestuous relationship. their desire to be together is what brought them to another world in the same body." I have SEVERAL questions.................
Something I just learned recently: in the original Japanese, "Milhouse" was voiced by Sakura Tange, who's best known for voicing Sakura Kinomoto of Cardcaptor Sakura. Let that sink in.
And Maze was voiced by Kotono Mitsuishi, voice actress who did Misato in Evangelion, Mink in Dragon Half, and of course, Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon herself. And the two seiyuu turned in the worst performances of their careers here.
@@saintsheepy6682 And there's more! Tomokazu Seki (Male!Maze) also voiced Sakura's older brother, Touya. Really adds another layer to Yukito's teasing about Touya's "sister complex"...
I actually saw MAZE with a group of friends and it was amazing. We sang all of the Engrish parts of the intro, and smoked lots of weed throughout. Good times.
No kidding. For the time, this animation is actually pretty incredible. And as annoying as she is, I actually love Mil's design and costume. Her outfit is honestly beautiful. Gives me a real Tsubasa vibe
Ah, yes. This was the first DVD I ever owned. And once I got to the rape scene, my dvd suddenly disappeared the night after. Probably had to do with my mom popping in and out of the living room while me and my cousins were watching this.
No_One Important Did she take it while you were asleep and burn it in a dark ritual at the dead hour of 3 AM to seal it away in Anime Hell for all eternity?
Lol, my parents got upset when they saw me watching Anime with minor swear words. They were both heavy alcoholics and at 15 I was just like "Uh... I think I can handle this." Pretty awkward for her to see you watching that kind of scene in a "Cartoon" though. Whoops!
I'm guessing the original name of the prince was "Natsu" and given the insanity of the anime the dub team might have thought he was actually intended to be "Nuts"
@@b3rz3rk3r9 At least there it was a reference to the actual famous German knight errant Götz von Berlichingen (I hope I'm spelling that correctly), with there being a pun with how it sounds like the English word "guts."
I’m not quite sure about that. It was definitely pronounced “Natsu” in the original Japanese track, I can guarantee that. But I do think it was supposed to be be Prince Nuts even then. They love punny theme naming in Japanese media, and Nut’s sister’s name is Mix, so Mix Nuts. Maze doesn’t take itself too seriously, so that’s the other reason I think Nuts is the proper way to say it. It wouldn’t sound nearly as dumb in Japan as it does in English speaking countries, so it would be seen as just a cute English theme naming there.
@@ConvincingPeople First off: you spelled his name correctly, good work. Second: I think Miura admitted that he didn't know of Götz of the Iron Fist when creating Guts; simply a happy little coincidence.
No, you automatically take on the title of King of Queen after the death of the previous monarch if you're the heir. Parliament and all that will officially recognize you and then you'll be coronated but you're still the king or queen if you were the heir of the previous king.
Not necessarily, because there can be other people with claims to the throne and other questions of succession. The prince or princess might not be legitimate under the feudal laws, even if they are the direct child of the king or queen. Ergo, until you're crowned, you remain a princess.
cheezemonkeyeater Again, that depend on feudal law. Point is that they are still closer to truth then you, simply because it is a law what dictate line of succession so there are no "if" question until someone illegally support other law or self-proclaimed claims.. what is, well.. illegal.
Biomechanical monstrosities that grab their users with tentacles to insert him inside it? And this kids, is why We should be grateful Hideaki Anno didn't watch tentacle porn.
So his Babylon tower, does it have farms that can grow enough food inside it to sustain a siege? Because it doesn't matter how invincible your fortress is, if you can't leave your fortress, they can starve you out.
For anyone that doesn't know who the green-haired pixie in the title card is, that's Falan from Garzey's Wing. Fun fact: "George" Gorgeous' VA: Rik Nagel, aka Mr. Going Full Garzey's Wing.
Back when I was living in Guam and working for the Air Force, my friend and I would take turns buying series of anime to watch. I was very unlucky that month when I bought Maze.
Dear god I think I've actually seen this before. Or at least a couple episodes of it. Sage started the episode and I had no idea what this was, and then Milhouse's verbal tic dislodged a dusty broom closet in my brain. That noise, Maze's two forms, the giant robot thing, and the magic energy they used were the only things that were in there, I literally can't remember anything else. The rest must be buried VERY deep.
Aside from most of the english voice cast used to do Garzey's Wing, the Japanese voice cast in Maze are quite familiar. Female Maze: Sailor Moon (no I'm not joking) Male Maze: Toya, Sakura's brother, from Cardcaptors, Rob Lucci from One Piece, and Gilgamesh from Fate/stay night The princess: Sakura from Cardcaptors Gorgeous: Byakuya from Bleach, and the Nube from Hell Teacher Nube Not Guts (I don't know his name): JOSEPH JOESTAR.....OH MY GOD!!!
also to try to balance the comments out: I appreciate you and Mark putting content warnings in front of episodes with especially sensitive content. it shows a lot of consideration for your audience.
Well, the team that animated this wanted a 15+ instead of a 18+ and if they did, we'd get stuff that'll be like Avatar Press' Crossed series... but more sex and gore to Dead Space Necromorph levels.
Tony Davis so a story that features incest with a protagonist that's a were rapist is considered 15+ in Japan if that's the case then sweet black fucking sabbath id hate to see what they consider 18+
The western release was edited, the only reason we didn't get the uncut version is because it was only on laserdisc format in Japan and the master copies weren't so well preserved so no chance of a remaster and the 26th episode was never broadcast. The uncut version is not quite hentai but the implications and innuendos can so easily make it one
I watched the entire Maze TV series once. I barely understood anything that was going on except for the incest and the fact that the sun sets as much as there is cold water in Ranma.
So what we have here is a Slayers knockoff trying to be Magic Knight Rayearth while being written by Dr Rockzo. Where the hell did this shit come from?!
Of all moments in the episode, t's Sage just reacting to the first shot of the OVA and being all "... ohhh Jesus..." that got me cracking up the most. XD
uh, more along the lines of a rapey-er Ranma mixed with a Boss/Big Boss duality, which doubles as a twincest fetish. Also, s/he's attached to the 10(?)-year-old offspring of Shinji Ikari and Moena from Angel Blade.
Kudos on the trigger warning. Also, FYI, the "chakram" is an actual throwing weapon that was favored by the Sikh warriors in India and could be deadly between 40-100m. Twirling it on ones index finger before "flicking" was actually one preferred method of throwing it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakram
Nothing to See Here Weren't they razor-sharp, too? I swear, I saw an episode of "Deadliest Warrior" where cantaloupes were sliced clean through with chakrams.
Is just me or that fairy sounds like one of Duckman's teddy bear assistants? You know, the ones he always mutilated in horrible and amusing ways? No wonder the urges to strangle and main seem to me increasing everytime I hear that voice...
It's quite amazing how you and Brad Jones seem to be the only Channel Awesome reveiwers that have kept the quality of their work consistently high. I enjoy your videos as much now as I always have. I'd add Phelous to that lineup too, but his stuff tends to go up and down a bit with source material.
Renegade Vile Personally I think Linkara's only gotten better as time went on. Of course I mainly watch his reviews for the actual reviews and not the storylines, but I think he's been doing really well these past couple of years. Also yeah, Todd's been really consistent as well. Where's the TiTS love?
I used to like Nash, but ever since the election his stuff has gone way too political. That's one thing I respect about Todd, he usually only has a political thing to set up a joke.
When I think back to you saying “It’s like the story was made by a six year old, a very disturbed six year old” is it weird that I imagine Bart Simpson as an example?
Anyone who managed to get down that fourth tequila would be far too sober for this. Cheech and Chong on a drug cocktail made from all the illicit substances in the world (both amount and type) would find this too fucked to sit through.
So I actually sat down and watched all of Maze, both the 25 episode series and the two part OVA. There honestly seems to be two different Randy's (the fairy that tags along with Maze [Memento] and co). The one in the OVA being a pedophile that just joined and the one from the actual series that has been with the party since episode 3/4. But honestly it was a really enjoyable series to watch.
I remember seeing ads for this on like tons of The Slayers VHS tapes. The style looked kinda similar but their ads were so ineffectual I had no idea what I could expect from the show and thus never even attempted to pick it up. So I guess I dodged a bullet eh?
Sage is already yelling and it's less than 5 minutes into this episode. I salute you, Sage, for guiding us through these murky waters and out of the shit untouched. You've gone places I'm not sure I can follow, but damned if I won't be laughing at the awfulness along the way out.
I've read on the Maze wiki that in the manga Mil is a hermaphrodite. That was changed in the anime, but if they went with the original story line, she could do both Mazes.
So wait, the title character of the Anime is a gestalt entity created from the fusion of a pair of siblings who were in love with eachother? GARNET: _"... Uh, No. Just this once, No..."_
At some point, you have to wonder about the people who made this. Are they trying to pander to people who find genderswapped rape sexy, or are they projecting their own weird, rapey fantasies?
This was the first really screwed up series that I ever watched. And that's saying something. Ive never laughed so hard in my life. Ive been WAITING for you to do this review and the series? More silliness, wtf moments and sheer mindfuckitry. Thank you Sage and all who joined him. This by far is my top 3 of favorite episodes from you!
If i had to guess, her explaination of Akira was either longer in the Japanese version, or the English version pulled a Bandai Namco and translated it word for word without trying to match the lip movement
Turns out, based on the Japanese version of this OVA (where we hear Sakura Tange give the worst performance of her career, whilst legendary voice actress Kotono Mitsuishi, best known as Sailor Moon and Misato, gave the worst performance of her career as Maze), the line at 3:22 is supposed to be at 3:42. Shows how despite occasionally licensing some good anime (Utena, and I even liked the Gall Force trilogy), Central Park Media was a bunch of clowns at times.
Thankfully for the anime creators... It isn't unusual for coronations to actually be required to become King or Queen. So yeah she can still be a Princess. Though at least this Princess has an excuse unlike Princess Peach, Princess Zelda, Princess Celestia, and the mountain of other Princess Rulers who find the Queen title "Too icky"

"No one looks threatening while playing hula-hoop with your fingers"
*cut to Guts doing exactly that*
The Guts v Silat was stupidly awesome. So many unknown weapons from India and Middle Asia in use, like the Sword Whip and Chakram.
Berserk can make practically anything look threatening.
Actually, to make the transition from prince or princess to king or queen, you have to be crowned.
Not in the event of the death of the previous ruler
No, you automatically take on the title of King of Queen after the death of the previous monarch if you're the heir. Parliament and all that will officially recognize you and then you'll be coronated but you're still the king or queen if you were the heir of the previous king.

How did Sage not address this dude clearing his throat in the middle of the line reading, and that's the take they went with, lmao
"And why is he called Prince Nuts!?" Probably took more precedent and would have been a better use of time.
3:42. Her missing dub line is this:
“But don’t you think these mysterious relationships are fun?”
My answer to that not in this situation princess clueless

So from what I can understand from this, The Big Sister Brother is actually Angela from Sleepaway Camp
uh, more along the lines of a rapey-er Ranma mixed with a Boss/Big Boss duality, which doubles as a twincest fetish. Also, s/he's attached to the 10(?)-year-old offspring of Shinji Ikari and Moena from Angel Blade.
there's a 25/26 anime series of Maze that's more fleshed out it seems, but still as crazy as fuck....

Kudos on the trigger warning. Also, FYI, the "chakram" is an actual throwing weapon that was favored by the Sikh warriors in India and could be deadly between 40-100m. Twirling it on ones index finger before "flicking" was actually one preferred method of throwing it.

Politics in reviews are sadly a thing now.
I don't blame reviewers though, everyone is part of the political hype train in our day and age.
I think the creators of Maze misunderstood George Carlin when he said, "rape is funny."
When I think back to you saying “It’s like the story was made by a six year old, a very disturbed six year old” is it weird that I imagine Bart Simpson as an example?

What the shit is "OOKYU!", and why does Milhouse keep yelling it?
guilmon182 it's her catchphrase
guilmon182 I think it's along the lines of a cat girl saying "nya" or a cutesy girl saying "desu."
And why does she so frequently sound like she's saying "fuck you"?
"Ookyu!" is similar another "catchphrase" of another anime character: Penelope from the kids' anime _Hamtaro_. Difference is, Penelope was a baby.
I've read on the Maze wiki that in the manga Mil is a hermaphrodite. That was changed in the anime, but if they went with the original story line, she could do both Mazes.
Maze has been my friends any mine old school favs, ofcourse it needs to be watched in Japanese. Who watches old animes dubbed?
So wait, the title character of the Anime is a gestalt entity created from the fusion of a pair of siblings who were in love with eachother?
GARNET: _"... Uh, No. Just this once, No..."_

Just the standard "Throw random shit into mixer, chuck it at the wall and see if it sticks." mentality.
I don’t know what the author was smoking while they wrote this, but whatever it was, it should be avoided at all costs.
Every time they say Jina I lose it.

Every time I come home to an Anime Abandon episode, its like a mini-Christmas.
D-did I just watched a Mandela Effected Rape Scene?
And kids always remember.
When somebody bullies you, just say: "Maze in your face!".
It will make their brain pop!
If i had to guess, her explaination of Akira was either longer in the Japanese version, or the English version pulled a Bandai Namco and translated it word for word without trying to match the lip movement
Judging by the warning, this might be the lost prequel to Sins of the Sisters...
Turns out, based on the Japanese version of this OVA (where we hear Sakura Tange give the worst performance of her career, whilst legendary voice actress Kotono Mitsuishi, best known as Sailor Moon and Misato, gave the worst performance of her career as Maze), the line at 3:22 is supposed to be at 3:42. Shows how despite occasionally licensing some good anime (Utena, and I even liked the Gall Force trilogy), Central Park Media was a bunch of clowns at times.
This anime made me laugh a lot harder than I expected since you said the anime is known for "What The Fuck?!"
Oh my various gods. The Kung Pow line gave me the same out of nowhere gut laughs that it did the first time I saw it in the movie.
When's the Kung Pow line?
I feel this is the best episode of anime abandon there's just something about this episode I find truly hilarious.
I was tricked into watching this by someone i once trusted.
Maze has destroyed a part of my life, I'll never get it back, I am broken.
You can never go wrong with a Kung Pow Enter The Fist. NOT EVER!
I call her Jaina Proundmore, but then again I'm Brazilian, and we pronounce things differently.
I call her "Mordekaiser numero uno huehuehuehuehue".
;)
now add a "v" in front of it and it's rated m for mature XD

V'Jaina Proudmoore.
hee hee
The thumbnail alone told me I was going for a ride and after seeing the review I was right.
HOLY SHIT, GALL FORCE HAS A SEQUEL?????!!!!!!! HOW AM I JUST FINDING OUT THIS NOW?!!!
Give this show some credit. This pixie is FAR less annoying then that thing from Black Clovrr.
Thanks for the headsup, Sage. Squicky armor, ON!
Anime AND Phoenix Suns fan? You'd do well at my house!

0:00 oh god. it's gonna be one of THOSE anime series.
We had no idea
*WHY* do I keep coming back here!? Has the stay-at-home become THAT bad!? ..............Yes, yes it has!
28:58 hey look it's that one guy from game of thrones
maze is pretty much every modern anime inside an ova in other words PURE HORROR
My face lit up when Sage pulled up that copy of gall force 2.
Mark Lane I just watched the episode last night.
11:38 sums up this anime pretty well.
This Maze sounds like a masterpiece. Now I NEED to read the manga.
That'll be 4 bucks, baby! 'You want fries with that! XD
"HE JUST LEFT!!... WITH NUTS!!!!"
Thankfully for the anime creators... It isn't unusual for coronations to actually be required to become King or Queen. So yeah she can still be a Princess. Though at least this Princess has an excuse unlike Princess Peach, Princess Zelda, Princess Celestia, and the mountain of other Princess Rulers who find the Queen title "Too icky"
I thought the supplemental materials said Peach was acting as regent for her mentally incompetent father.
realitywarper93 Peach needs a regent then since she's just as incompetent. Look at how many times she's been kidnapped by Bowser.
Nionivek Yeah, those princesses need to "Queen It Up" already! It's been over 30 years, for God's sake!
John McHenry
Peach "kidnapped"/"abducted"? HA! We all know by now what's really going on between Peach & Bowser.
Nionivek Zelda has a father in half of the Zelda games, in twilight princess she is the queen, and in skyward sword she's not royalty.
Maze is an adventure like the trek through blighttown is a day at the national fair. Fantastic review though, you were on point.
Gotta say, Big sister brother sounds like a new TLC series about a transgender person.
24:35 - What you thought happened

24:24 - What actually happened

😈 24:24
I clicked like on the video before even watching it but holy shit it was definitely a right guess to make. I haven't laughed this hard in a while.
THAT'LL BE FOUR BUCKS BABY! YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT?!
MAIZE IN YOUR FACE. I FUCKING LOVE CORN!
"Let's fighting loooove!"
you coulde say the anime is aMAZEingly bad.
you know, you could, but shouldnt
Every time I look at this, I'm thinkful CPM is out of business
nice use of The IT Crowd
Me: Oh, the title card shows Sage getting annoyed by some faeries, looks like it will be fun
Beginning of episode: Warning!
Me: welp...
9:58 Captain Linkara is best captain.
I've seen bad voice acting but they literally voice it like it's a children's story
it's never a good sign when the Engineer has to give a warning.
