4 | ''Maple Story'' (メイプルストーリー Meipuru Sutōrī) is an anime based on the video game franchise by the same name. |
5 | |
6 | It follows the adventure of a boy named Al, and his monster friends Nina ([[WickedWitch magic-user]]), Gallus ([[{{Golem}} stone golem]]), and Barrow (a MasterArcher). The story revolves around a legendary tree whose seeds have fallen in a battle years ago, causing a division between monsters and humans. |

9 | !!This anime provides examples of: |
10 | |
11 | * TheAnimeOfTheGame: Although subject to a great deal of creative license, [[{{Dissimile}} as in, the story is completely different]]. |
12 | * BrickJoke: Al steps in bunny feces in two different episodes, both when with Nina and talking about becoming a hero. |
13 | * CallToAdventure: Happens as late as the ''tenth episode.'' Before that, he was training to fit in with the monsters, but didn't actually receive any sort of specific quest. |
14 | * DefrostingIceQueen: When we first meet her, Nina doesn't really care about anyone, including her pet pig, much less [[MayorOfAGhostTown her villagers]]. She slowly warms up, becoming {{Tsundere}} instead. |
15 | * DisappearedDad: Grande, Al's father. Much of the early story consists of flashbacks to his deeds. |
16 | * DreadfulMusician: Al. His music with a violin actually causes the animal monsters to ''cringe''. |
17 | * ForYourOwnGood: Nina uses this as an excuse frequently. Usually, the reason is actually because she's bored and wanted to play a prank. Al believes this, and uses it to help his training. |
18 | * GameplayAndStorySegregation: In ''VideoGame/MapleStory'' Al would've been banned as a hacker or something, because he is dual-classed between warrior and ranger for awhile. To say nothing of Nina... |
19 | * InNameOnly: There are very few similarities between this and the actual game. Including the fact that the thief class seems to be absent for much of the early story. |
20 | * JustTheWayYouAre: When Nina gets her soul snatched, rather than become unconscious (as normally is the case) she becomes an ExtremeDoormat. Al likes her better before, as a rude, selfish witch who constantly plays tricks on him. |
21 | %%* LackOfEmpathy: Nina, again. %%How does she show a lack of empathy? |
22 | * LookBehindYou: Anji uses this when cornered. [[GenreBlind Everyone falls for it]]. |
23 | * LuminescentBlush: Gallus, of all folk. He gets complimented by Nina (who isn't herself). |
24 | * MayorOfAGhostTown: Nina is the village chief, because her magic is most powerful of the creatures living there. There's about ten creatures living there: a snake, a animate clock, and a few jesters. |
25 | * MeaningfulName: Grande, Al's father. His name means "great" and he was a legendary hero of the past. |
26 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Nina says this to Anji, in regards to Al (and being pranked). |
27 | * TheRedMage: Nina. She can use both fire and ice magic, which are two different disciplines in-game. Knowing her, she can probably also use healing, but [[LackOfEmpathy her personality in a bit off]]. |
28 | %%* TheReveal: Al, in episode four. |
29 | * RubeGoldbergDevice: An "alarm clock" Al has that gives no alarm, instead relying on refraction to beam light directly into his eyes when the sun rises. |
30 | * {{Tsundere}}: Nina, at certain times. She gradually goes from almost a SugarAndIcePersonality to this, and keeps getting warmer toward Al. |
31 | * WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter: Al uses a training sword for quite awhile. |
32 | * YourSoulIsMine: |
33 | ** Nina gets a ghost pass right through her. |
34 | ** Al gets it too, in the same episode. |
