HoboStory: MapleStory Anime Characters Revealed
Friday 7 September 2007 @ 8:09 am | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano 50 Comments
We are less than a few weeks away from the premier of the MapleStory anime, the character designs recently got released and frankly, we’re scared. These look like anything but MapleStory characters! With these kind of characters, HoboStory would be a much more fitting name.
This is really shocking because the game’s strongest point was its chibi, cute, cliche’d anime-ish designs, actually it wasn’t its biggest point, it was its only point. Now don’t get me wrong, a series about a bunch of hobos caught in a grindfest world, killing pigs in armor and jumping around sounds awesome, but not like this!

It kinda looks like some of those old DiC cartoons from the 90′s … are you already worried/afraid now?
Who the fuck is producing this? This better be some epic shit since its replacing Gurren Lagann’s time slot.
Wait wait wait — replacing GURREN LAGANN’s timeslot!
:o
This had better mean that GL’s last arc is too AWESOME to show to kids!
it will replace it once GL ends. Its like replacing die hard with dora the explorer.
Madhouse is making THESE shitty character design? What the fuck. Did they like spend all their budget on the second season of Boondocks or something?
Also, is that Black Hole CO Jugger on the right?
I think a piece of my soul just died.
Looks lame…. -__-”
This is great!
This is depressing.. that looks like the maple version of BARNEY.. XS
what did you guys expect? the game is so crappy that the anime must be megafail to keep up with it.
Oh wow.
This looks like the characters were drawn by a mentally deficient six year old with downs. Salutes knows what I mean, he’s one himself.
Oh god, burn it with fire.
Oh, em gee. EPIC FAIL.
The character art makes me want to cry. It just doesn’t have the MapleStory feel to it, though it does have ribbon pig. The art reminds me of the earlier Japanese cartoons (like Samurai Pizza Cats)…
I’m still interested how they are going to do the storyline for this… =O
Ha, Jugger is invading other fandoms! =D
i dont like, play, or slightly interested in Mapple Story… though, i hope it does well, that is for sure…
horrible! and i was scared that they’d use those ugly chibis from their page! the guy on the right looks like a gollem from the Guild Party Quest

OMG…HORRIBLE RENDITION OF MAPLESTORY!!! AHHHHH!!!
…zomg…zomg….ZOMG…ZOMGOMGOMGOMOGMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ZOMG! ZOMG! ZOMBIE OH MY GOD!
First the commercials…now this. What has MapleStory freaking come to??
Damn, these characters look as if they belong in an anime produced like 20 years ago…
Tsk, it’s sad…even more sad that it’ll be lasting for 64 episodes…
Wait….Saa are you f-ing serious. 64 episodes of hell on the internet?
God we are screwed
…
why are you here to read this?
…
….
….Jugger is in this… =O
Well, maybe it’s his half brother clone but still…
=O =O

Oh wow. I`m just glad I don`t live in Korea.
wtf are those rubbish? since when did the pet has clothes on? and what metal monster and gay werewolf is that? never saw em in the game before.
Since when is anime based on a game identical to a game? Welcome to cross-media whoring!
Everything maple related is gay now, exept maple itself, although it is kinda turning gay….
Well Canada is maple related, so are hotcakes, I dont see those as gay either.
Umm..
1. The characters should actualy resemble the ones in the actualy maple story game..
2. Has it been dubed yet or has anyone put subitles into it?
Someone probably subbed the first episodes, look around torrent sites.
uugg
I find that last pesons name highly offensive and they have been remove from the server. Everyting maple related isnt gay.
wats this even about…?-______-im lost.
I think Nexon is trying to turn MapleStory into one large franchise. I say they should just stick to the game itself. It has, what, over 5 million players? Why should they ruin it with a cheesy anime? I myself like the overall episodes; I think they’re pretty interesting. The drawings are crappy, and the show has nothing to do with the actual game. However, it’s OK for my taste.
It really depends on what YOU enjoy. You love the anime? Great! You think it’s totally suckish? That’s fine. Just please don’t say anything offensive. Give Nexon their props for trying.
Ughh…. this gives me the shivers. Even MapleStory players won’t wanna watch this.
yo this aint bad o_O
Hey i love this anime so don’t you all be a dissin it its a good try for a first besides this anime was made before the game maple story was even made!!
So scary! I like the game characters better!
kinta1 you are so STUPID. They did not produce the Anime first. There was a korean version that was produced long ago, and the Anime was based on THAT the English version was published WAY after that so don’t tell people to stop insulting something if you don’t know a damn about it! GOD! So many people these days pretend to be know- it-alls when their really just annoying motherfucking retarded bitches like YOU! GOD i hate people like you kinta1!
Sorry liar Bountyhunter i was talking about the original korean version not the english version since i have only seen subtitle version of the korean thing i never even knew there was an english one..
i also know that the show was made before the game since the game is based off the show..
kinta shut up nobody pays attention to ur dumbass posts
Like ur one to talk
Well try watching it before u post ppl and its pretty good but not too good,but at least Maplestory is Fun and STOP Posting bad stuff no one wants to know,u know what dey say ”if it aint nice dont say it at all”
Then the internet would be empty.
Yet still so full of pr0n.
All you people arguing through are just being stupid and immature. noone cares about your argumentsao if you really have something stupid to say to each outher find a better place. Yes the art is crappy and does it matter what it’s based on? What matters is the now and right it’s a new anime. Watch if its good and if not then don’t watch again and don’t bother posting anything. Enjoy and goodbye…
HEY VITCHES I KNOW ITS STUPID BUT HEY ATLEAST THE GAMES GETTING FAMOUS EVERY MINUTE!!!
IF U ALL ARE MAPLESTORY FANS U SHOULD SUPPORT THIS ART EVEN THOUGH ITS UGLY (FOR ME ITS NOT)
