How about an announcement for you guys today?  We just picked up Disgaea!  I bet you didn’t see that coming.  Not only did we announce it today, but you can watch the first episode on FUNimation.com/video.  And do check out the Disgaea games from our friends at NIS America.  Have you played any of them?

Flower Mound, TX (September 1, 2010) – FUNimation® Entertainment today announced that it has acquired home entertainment, broadcast and digital rights for the fantasy adventure series  “Disgaea” from d-rights.

The 12-episode series is directed by Kiyotaka Isako (“Love Hina” and “Utawarerumono”) and based on the popular Disgaea role-playing games developed by Nippon Ichi Software.

About Disgaea

The Netherworld is in chaos since the death of its Overlord. His demon son sets out to claim the throne, accompanied in his adventures by an angel-assassin trainee, and his demon underling who controls an army of minions. Along the way they’ll meet a variety of friends and foes including curvy scientists, healers, samurai and more. When three major powers –demons, angels, and humans—vie for control, obtaining and maintaining the title of Overlord won’t be easy.

FUNimation will release the complete series on DVD in early 2011.

    I watched the first episode and I’m just going to say I’m not excited for it…. And it’s not just because of my issues with Barbara Goodson. I really wish you’d re-dub it, Funi. Don’t let it go to waste like what happened to Karin. I’m still beat up about that. :(

    I had heard about the show and game some time ago. I was never really interested but I’ve yet to hear someone say the title correctly. Hmm. I don’t even know to pronounce it.

    No ones hating on Funi here if you havent realised some of us here have seen the show before and found it incredibly mediocre infact no one really seems to care about the anime at all on a lot of anime forums besides random dub fans and those with a high enough tolerance to perhaps like it. kinda like with Persona Trinity Soul. There is a topic over on animeondvd R1 forum if you need more opinions.
