MAPS is the English title for two Japanese anime OAVs: the original MAPS (MAPS: Densetsu no Samayoeru Seijintachi, 1987) and the remake (MAPS: Densetsu no Fukkatsu, 1994). Both are based on Hasegawa Yuichi's manga series MAPS (マップス), serialized monthly in Nora magazine from 1985 to 1994. Notable aspects of the series are the spaceships (which look like giant silver angelic women, often described as "hood ornaments") and cyborg women that control and are the brains of them. Each ship and its pilot is a distinct character, from playful to evil.
