Makai Senki Disgaea (Disgaea)

An angel arrives in Hell! A demon lord is awakened! There are penguins everywhere! What’s going on here?

Angel assassin-in-training Flonne is on a quest to destroy the demon Overlord. Instead of accomplishing her mission, the ditzy Flonne manages to wake Laharl, the demon lord and heir to the throne, from his two year slumber. Now the pair, along with Laharl’s not-so-faithful vassal Etna and her army of explosive souls in penguin costumes, must restore order to the crumbling Netherworld.

Based on the events of the game Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, Makai Senki Disgaea follows Laharl’s journey to squash the demon rebellion, reclaim the throne, and destroy anyone who stands in his path. Or, you know, let them join him on his travels if they really want. Just remember: Laharl is a demon lord. There’s no way he’ll ever show kindness, compassion, or love... right?

Disgaea is simple, yet well made fun! If you like cute stuff and a good story? Then this is for you (and me!). Watch the short into video "Welcome to Netherworld" for an excellent, no spoilers look at what you'll get.
Etna is really the central character, but all 3 MC get plenty of air time and development. If you find Etna adorable? You'll love this show!

Story: Seems simple to begin with, but grows in depth and complexity. The finale is terrific, bringing everything to a logical and satisfying end. Except: 12 episodes is too short! But there's no sense of rushing, just a wish we ...

Mixed Feelings

The anime is fine, doesn't follow the game's plot but rather mixed the endings together. I started with Disgaea 3 until I went back to play its previous predecessors, I started to appreciate the 1st game's plot a lot more than most of its newer games. The anime did an ok job with its adaptation, the comedy at least. This is an honest review with Disgaea. For those who had played this game assuming most of its viewers did, would enjoy it for what it is (like me). However, for those who haven't played the game would probably not like it, not like the person ...

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

Riding off the coattails of the game, the Disgaea's anime adaptation doesn't do the ps1 classic any justice at all.
I understand that this was made in 2006, but old doesn't equal bad. There are many anime, movies, and films that are very good even when they're old, even in just a technical aspect. Maybe for it's time, it was OK, but that just doesn't cut it when I'm watching something a whole 16 years later.
I guess I understand that this was aimed at kids that just played the game or something, but clearly, there's a lack of quality put into both the dialogue and the ...
