Eccentric animator Maplestar , known for his alternative anime animations, announced in early April 2024 a poll with new animation possibilities based on the catalog of the popular streaming service Crunchyroll . The list includes several anime known to fans, with confirmation.
Fern x Stark (Frieren)
Aqua x Kazuma (KonoSuba)
Nico Robin (One Piece)
Emilia x Subaru (RE:ZERO)
Number 18 x Krillin (Dragon Ball Z)
Holo x Lawrence (Spice and Wolf)
Zero Two x Hiro (Darling in the Franxx)
Touka x Kaneki (Tokyo Ghoul)
Denji x Makima (ChainSaw Man)
Shinobu x Giyuu (Demon Slayer)
In the text in the blog area the animator says:
I have ideas for most of them, so it will probably only be a matter of time before they are all ready . This mini animation would come out before DXD, but I would continue working on it at the same time. With the help I have access to now, I have more help with cleaning and frame colors than I do with animation. So while the DXD stuff is being cleaned up, I can animate other work and vice versa. SO, I'm still working on the other projects.
However, the animator's fans couldn't help but comment:
- I know it's probably not winning, but I need Touka x Kaneki
- Need some of that useless water energy goddess here
- I need Touka!
- Someday, Holo will win :P. Anyway, I always vote for her. I'm really looking forward to the new/remade anime this season.
- All of this is great. I can't wait
- I choose “Android 18 X Krillin”, but all these couples are beautiful!! I wish all these couples have their own high quality video!!
Therefore Maplestar, the talented animator who has been winning over fans around the world with his animations aimed at a more mature audience, is leaving his mark in the hearts of animated art enthusiasts. As such, he has a portfolio full of memorable characters, such as the enigmatic Makima from “Chainsaw Man”, the cunning Yor Forger from “SPY x FAMILY” and the charming Marin Kitagawa from “Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru”, Maplestar solidified his place as a prominent artist on the contemporary animation scene.
Although there are those who question Maplestar's choice to dedicate himself to producing animations aimed at a more adult audience, the success he has achieved in this niche is undeniable.
Ultimately, the community warmly received his engaging and aesthetically captivating work, resulting in substantial support through platforms like Patreon.
