SynopsisMeet Galan, a Russian spastic geek who`d do anything to be a real, live samurai. But that`s just an impossible dream... or is it? When his friend Natsu, who is a successor of Japanese emigrants family, gives him the gift of an ancient sword, strange events unfold, and even stranger people drop out of the sky to attack. Now Galan must overcome his ineptitude and join a bunch of beautiful women in a wacky romp through a kingdom that time forgot. Hey, what could be better?

You completely miss the point of this anime. COMPLETELY.
It's not just another parody OVA with bunch of fanservice.
It's a USSR and Russian culture parody. So, for haters it does not count as worthy, but we Russians (and I think Russian culture lovers) like it very much. Not all, but most of us, who is not an ill hooray-patriot and can laugh upon its birthplace.
I am not a patriot (who said wapanese?..), but I still like Russia, so thematical jokes I found sometimes funny. For example, this anime.
It is good. It is really good.
Story: 9. An ordinary tale about neophyte-samurai turns to become a crazy and action story. Imagine that.
Art: 8. Maybe it's because I like old-fashioned drawing style.
Who said about boobs? Go to hell with your boobs, if you can't see anything more.
Sound: 8. It's not so special, but Kalinka-malinka in ending - that's a very interesting move.
Character: 10. Wapanese-samurai - you won't see somebody like him in lots of anime, right? Of course, there are some anime and video-game characters which wants to be Japanese, but without such deep color.
Another characters are not so original, but samurai sweeps them all.
Enjoyment: 10. I liked it. Really.
Overall: 10.
Very good "cranberry". I laughed out loud.
We want more like this.

Ok all I have to say about this OVA is one thing.
What..the..!#$%
This would have to be one of the most random anime that I have ever seen in my entire life, even more random than Paranoia Agent. But I have to admit that this was a pretty funny show and it made me laugh at several scenes throughout both episodes and I really enjoyed it. So I am going to give this OVA a 10 for being so funny and for being so random.

In tone, atmosphere, art, type of humour and general zaniness, "Photon" and "Labyrinth of Flames" strongly resemble each other.
While the former has a more developed story (due to longer runtime) than the latter, they both feature well-paced action sequences and a limited yet interesting array of strongly individual and more often than not ridiculous and obsessed characters, all the while being really fun rides through somewhat outrageous comedic situations with a dint of romance... and loads of proper fanservice!
"Photon" and "Labyrinth of Flames" don't take themselves seriously at all: you're in for pure, wacky comedy provided by over-the-top behaviours, where the story is put on the back burner and is essentially an excuse for playing heavily and tastefully with clichés (albeit more subtly in "Photon").

Both are hilarious and have the same non-sense humor.
