The basic story is that normal Earth boy Gen and his girlfriend Hoshimi meet Lipumira, a scantily-clad blond woman from outer space, who tells Gen that he is the "mapman," meaning the map to a great treasure is coded in his genes. Gen and Hoshimi go off into space with Lipumira in search of the treasure. They often fight evil space people who also want the treasure. Notable aspects of the series are the spaceships (which look like giant silver women, often described as "hood ornaments") and Lipumira's skimpy outfit (a red ribbon wrapped over strategic areas and clasped with a metal circlet at her left hip). Reviews of both series are generally mixed-to-negative. FIRST OAV (1987): MAPS: DENSETSU NO SAMAYOERU SEIJINTACHI Maps: Densetsu no Samayoeru Seijintachi (Maps: Legendary Space Wanderers, マップス 伝説のさまよえる星人たち) was directed by Keiji Hayakawa. SECOND OAV (1994): MAPS DENSETSU NO FUKKATSU Maps densetsu no fukkatsu (Legend of Maps Reborn) was directed by Shusumu Nishizawa. EXTERNAL LINKS
