It definitely has it's charm and MapleStory fans should watch it anyway. The MapleStory anime could have been pretty good with a bit more polish. I can't quite figure out why they didn't use more characters directly from MapleStory apart from ALL monsters. Other characters like Nina or her pig are pretty charming and I actually wished they were the MCs. Which I found pretty annoying most of the time. The MC is a "let's all be friends" type of guy. You get some bits of backstory here and there but most of it has no relevance at all. Most of the characters themselves don't offer that much. Overall are the (Korean) voices unemotional and just plain bad in general. I watched the Korean dub and the voice of the MC was so annoying I almost dropped it. And don't get me started on the voice acting. Sounds and songs are reused way too often. Like, the situation is sad but happy music plays. Often the background music isn't even fitting. The problem with the sound is, that it has very weird timing. MapleStory has a damn good ost so I wondered why they didn't use more of that (3 "remade" songs of the ost are used afaik). People that did not play MapleStory will get very little out of this, expect maybe if they're kids. And while this might be the greatest strength of the MapleStory anime, it might also be its weakest point. It really hits right in the nostalgia for people who have played the game. Seeing the lands you have traveled, the monsters you have fought, the characters you have met was great. What I really loved about the anime itself was the fact that it. To be honest, the end wasn't that great, but it's an anime aimed at kids so I can forgive it. There were some interesting twists here and there and the it progressed The story, while rather mediocre, actually kept me quite interested. Even if simple, it fits MapleStory pretty nicely. Apart from some weird faces I really could not find anything bad about the art style. The art style isn't that bad, it has its fair share of cute details and is really bright and colorful for the most part. Being a huge fanboy of MapleStory I try to rate is as objective as possible. It is pretty hard for me to write a review for this anime.
