Another title that seemed to be an odd mix at the time, Maze: The Mega Burst Space dealt with action, fantasy, war, and taboo. Like others such as Birdy the Mighty, this anime dealt with two individuals sharing a body... though not in the way I had hoped...
A woman wakes up to find her room a mess, as well as her memory. All she can recall is that she is known as Maze, and is flown from her own world to one vastly different. She meets a princess named Mill, who is trying to reclaim her rightful spot on the throne. Aside from meeting fellow adventurers, she learns that she possess magical powers, as well as an unforeseen problem: perhaps as a backlash from a taboo in her own time, she is female during the day, and a rather perverse, but powerful man at night!! Bumping heads with his/herself, Maze is going to have to get along with her alterego, as well as Maze's allies, should she ever want to return to the world she knew.
Starting out as a single OVA, it expanded to a TV series, and a movie was made as the sequel to that. The anime and OVA was licensed by Central Park Media, with the tv anime lasting 25 episodes. You can say that an element was grabbed from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, with the house falling and another world scenario. It was a frequent entry on Comcast's/Xfinity's Anime Selects On Demand (which is how I even heard of it.) The anime is for both Japanese and English languages.
Maze: The Mega Burst Space left me speechless years ago, but in a way, I can accept it for what it is, so I'm calling a 7.2 of 10.
