SynopsisFrom the darkest realms of another dimension emerges the story of Laharl, the son of a demon overlord, and his two sidekicks: his impish servant and an angelic assassin. Awoken from a two-year, poison-induced nap, Laharl learns of his father’s demise and blazes a trail of destruction on his quest to declare rule over the Netherworld. Never skimping on the wisecracks, the diabolical prince and his accomplices battle dragons, sorceresses, robots, power-hungry humans, and corrupt angels.
Based on the popular adventure games, Disgaea lunges at you with a full-force attack. You can laugh, cry, scream or squirm, but you can’t escape the wrath of Laharl, dood!

Ohayoo! This is my first anime and my english is bad , so excuse me for my 'lame' writing...
I'll review this anime with the 6 elements available.
First comes the story: As we all know the set is from the PS2 game. The plotline its easy to understand and very enjoyable to watch closely, but it's nothing special afterall.
Art: Ok, here comes the great dilemma - the 3d is great integrated in the TV series, the character art is great, the landscape is very good, but i think something is missing. Maybe if there where more details i guess
The sound is average. Its pleasurable, i can't say anything else. Laharl (about him later) is casted by Kaori Mizuhashi - woman, how do you like that :D (don't get me wrong- she's a proffesional in voice-acting :))
The main stage Characters in the anime are Laharl, Etna and Flonne. This is the best element in the anime.
One of my favorite characters is Laharl - the brutal evil male demon who's obsessed, like a true demonish character, for power,money and ultimate control. A deep development in his emotional level through the anime. A GREAT 'against the grain' character - one of those evil ones who are always on Backstage , but in Disgaea he's the primary evil dude who's pulling the anime score up. Just superb! One of the coolest personages i've ever seen :D
Etna is one of those cute and helpless girls, on the first look, but is much like Laharl - she's his servant,but there's not enough 'screen light' on her like Laharl. The development of this character is not deep enough,though... But afterall she's sadistic and very cute x)
Flonne is an low level "assassin" angel. A very lovely angel, who's always gabbling about love to Laharl :D She's also cute, but not like Etna ;]
The Enjoyment of this anime is Very Good indeed. The final feeling is that you havent wasted your time with this title. The anime has a strange sense of humour, though... I've started to laugh at 7-8 epz. But indeed i have a hearty LAUGH with Laharl and the others.
Overall: don't hesitate to watch this - it's not one of the "Must watch!" but if you want you can watch it only for Laharl sake. That evil character dude is amazing. :D And the humour is really really good when you get to understand it. The plotline isnt that great but it's pleasurable,like the Art and the Sound. read more

This is worth watching whether or not you've played the game, for Playstation 2 because the plot takes some significant divergances, which I found to be an interesting alternate storyline. (The ending is still very much similar, but how they get there is different enough)
The story, in large part is very episodic, so a lot of the time "real" character development doesn't happen. There are, however, a couple of parts where there's some "real" development, generally in the beginning and end, I would say. Though it's generally lighthearted, it has its serious points as well.
The characters, I think, are pretty lovable. Ok, not Gordon. But Laharl, Flonne and Etna are all lovable or hateable in their own ways, and Prinnies are just kind of funny in general. MIDBOSS. <--- Is why you should watch this.
Disgaea also has a sort of...zonky cartoony sense of humor. You might like or dislike this, I kinda liked it.
The action scenes are somewhat...lame, at least most of them. I was expecting a little more of that from an animé like this, but I suppose it was good enough elsewhere that it wasn't a fatal disappointment.
Watch this if you want a relatively light and short watch, it has some good moments and I thought the ending was even a little touching for what was otherwise more on the silly than serious side. read more

Both series take place in a demon realm that parallels the real world, where the main characters are young humanoid demons seeking power like their past relatives. Both have strong comedy and fantasy elements.
Both centre around a story of demons. It is also rumored that Astarotte will make an appearance in Disgaea 4. Making her an honorary Disgaea demon. Though ironically, for the synopsis of this show, other than the sexual rapey stuff, which is mostly only implied and lightly hinted at for most of the show, the Astarotte demons are on the whole, much more 'normal' and more ethical than the Disgaea demons, showing a much greater tendency towards kindness and human morals instead of backstabbing, than Disgaea. Still, each of these might be appealing to you if you like one.

Both has a non-human guy as the lead character followed by other non-humans. Both also has a kawaii weird-ish kind of girl in it. Flonne for Makai Senki Disgaea and Mayura for Matantei Loki Ragnarok. Also, both male main characters soon being to like the weird/somewhat annoying girl. If you don't like it no-biggie, it's just a recommendation! +_=
The main characters are both shota (young boys), who have supernatural powers - Loki is a Norse god, Laharl is the son of the previous Demon Overlord. They both attempt to return to their "home", they have female companions who boss them around or manage to get them to do something they don't want to: Mayura for Loki and Etna/Flonne for Laharl :P There are mascot characters for both series: Ecchan and Fenrir for Loki and Prinnies for Disgaea...need I add more?
