Summary: 5 Stars
If you like classically ridiculus anime then this is for you. The animation is lively and the english voice acting is done very well, you'll recognize the voices from the game as well as many other animes. The story is simple enough and the characters are likable.
I have played Disgaea for the PSP and the stories differ, but its enteresting to see how the stories are different. And if you are a fan of the game the character designs are also straight out of the game. So go in with an open mind if you've played the game, you'll rarely find any book, comic, game, or manga thats an exact match when its translated to another medium.
Personally even if I hadn't played the game I think I still would have enjoyed this.
DVD Review: Charming and fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm only vaguely familiar with the video game this anime series is based on. On the plus side that means I can safely say you don't need to know the game to enjoy this fun series. The characters are fun to watch, with voices that do them justice. Even the English dub isn't too bad, a rarity in anime, though I'll still watch it in the original Japanese with subtitles. I've seen the first 2 volumes and just picked up the third and final volume and I can't wait to see how it all turns out. Disgaea does not disappoint.DVD Review: Disgaea Anime ~ Hour(s) of Disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
Let me warn you before you go collecting the entire series.
Either I got stuck with a bootleg knock-off version of the anime, or the trailer for the Disgaea anime, as seen on the Disgaea 2 PS2 game, is some of the most deceptive advertising ever.
There are parts which are wildly different from the game, such as Laharl's coffin being thrown away in a rubbish heap, only to be discovered by Flonne, as opposed to Laharl's coffin still being discovered in the castle by Etna (the second is what you see in the trailer, and what actually happened in the game, the first is what you actually see in the anime).
Some things actually happen similarly to how they happened in the game, but with poor execution, namely the Prinnies' migration to the Red Moon, and the whole conspiracy between Vulcanus and General Carter.
Introductions to other favorite characters such as Gordon, Jennifer, Thursday, and Mid-Boss are all ill-timed, and entirely different to how they were introduced in either the original game, or the trailer. Other generic Disgaea soldiers and demons are also given screentime, if only to convince you're actually watching something that is supposed to have even a remote iota to do with the original game.
Let it also be stated that the animation quality and style are all also very dated, even for 2003, when it was actually produced, though it hasn't been released in the U.S. until now.
The only redeeming episodes were those which were entirely new material, yet really cliche material you could do with any show. Episode 3, in which Flonne and Etna switch personalities, and another episode, in which Laharl discovers he has an alleged younger sister.
Otherwise, other than that, I would stick with the story as given in the game. I just can't believe this is the Disgaea anime...it's not what I was promised.
Description of Disgaea - The Netherworld Prince (Vol. 1)
The King of the Netherworld has died and various demons are now building their own empires in an effort to take control. However, the late King's son has arrived and is out to reclaim his rightful place as ruler of the Netherworld! Along to help him is his vassal; Etna with her Prinny squad, and Flonne, an angel-in-training originally sent to assassinate the king only to find that he has already died. Join our three intrepid, and somewhat eccentric, heroes as they initiate their plan to conquer the Netherworld, Heaven and Earth!Angel-in-training Flonne is on a mission when Disgaea (2006) opens: she's charged with assassinating Krichevskoy, the King of the Netherworld--who died two years earlier. Flonne inadvertently awakens Krichevskoy's son, demon-prince Laharl, who sets out to claim the throne. When Flonne lectures him about love and kindness, Laharl replies with crushing honesty, "You're pretty dense, huh?" As the conflict escalates, Laharl's old vassal Etna arrives with her sub-vassals, the Prinny squad, who look like robotic penguins. Flonne gets help from higher-ranking angels. The Buck Rogers-eque Captain Gordon arrives from Earth in his space ship, complicating matters still further. Based on a video game by Nippon Ichi, Disgaea plays like a reworking of Chrono Crusade, enacted by the cast of A Little Snow Fairy Sugar: The main characters are all small and skinny, with kawaii (ultra-cute) bulbous heads and enormous eyes. Disgaea will appeal primarily to fans of the game.(Rated 13 and older: violence, risqué humor) --Charles Solomon
