This is above and beyond superb! Disgaea is absolutely MADE for anime conversion!!! Laharl is going to make an awesome main character - and Flonne's just going to be superb in anime form!!! That's what I really love about Disgaea the game - the character interaction is top notch - and the relatively sweet, comedic game kicks into really dark fairy-tale territory slowly but surely!
Hohoho... I'm just going to die when I see Flonne creep along Laharl's castle and go "Nin Nin!" for the first time!

Wow, a Flonne fan. I didn't know any others existed other than myself. Most people don't really seem to like Flonne. BUT ONE DAY SHE WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!! <Laughs evilly while looking at his level 9999 Flonne with a Yoshitsuna and 3 Super Robo suits all at level 100.>

Hey, Flonne is adorable. Without her, the character interactions wouldn't be as nearly as good.
Still, while the characterizations may well be there, I'm skeptical about how well the story will be done. I'm hopeful, but not counting on much here. Video game to anime translations tend to do poorly because of how shallow the story is. While a base plotline works great for a video game, it tends to translate poorly to a series.

Thinking back to the game at this point, I'm actually curious as to how they'll handle the episode previews, since most of the previews were just Etna going on about something that didn't have anything to do with the currently storylines.
Another, more serious thing I'm wondering about, is how many episodes they'll do. I mean they could there are 14 in-game "episodes" so I suppose they could pull of a 13 episodes series, but I wonder if making it 26 wouldn't allow them to do more with the in-game and post game story line Baal, Pringer Z, or how about Phantom Brave, Rhapsody or Makai Kingdom episodes?

I'm hoping that they do a 13 episode series. I seriously don't think they have enough stuff to work off of to do a 26 episode series unless they plan to fill half of it with fillers (which actually I really wouldn't mind). I don't really think they're gonna explain much if any about other Nippon Icchi productions like Phantom Brave, The Marl's Kingdom series, La Pucelle, or Makai Kingdom. They'd have to go into far too much detail to explain any of them with it making sense and it still being a "disgaea" anime. Maybe we'll get some Baal or Pringer X in it, but I wouldn't count on it.

I just hope this one gets dubbed, and they use the same VA's used in the game, for real this time! Disgaea had a great cast of VA's in the english version, and alot of un-forgettable dialogue.

I imagine that it'll be licenced eventually, but I wouldn't count on the eventually english version retaining the same cast. A lot of who voices the characters will be based on who licences the series, and on top of that the US companies don't seem to care to much about keeping VAs the same between seasons and series look at DBZ or Sailor Moon for examples of mid-series VA changes

It all depends whether or not the company that decides to grab the rights have a recording studio that is close by where the VA's live. It could get pricey making them move

What, there are people who don't like Flonne? She rocks! *love*
I've only recently got to know Disgaea, but I really look forward to this anime. I can't wait to see anime Mid-Boss ; And I want the seiyuu to be the original ones, of course, so that I get to hear them. I've only played the English version.
I think that Disgaea could be a great anime, the plot and the characters are really captivating, but we'll just have to see what comes out of it.

Disgaea has an option to play the game with Japanese audio. Just go to the options menu. So you can hear them right now if you want to. The only thing I don't really like about that though, is that they don't bother to change the in battle voices to Japanese on the Japanese audio setting.

Whoa, first a 'Xenosaga' anime and now an anime from my favorite game company 'Nippon Ichi'. Never played the 'Disgaea' game but I've been familiar with it before it came state-side.
I'm very surprised to see an anime based on the game. Looks like "some folks" need a reason to get some 'Aetna' action.
I'm looking forward to it.

I agree with you.
I love the English voices in Disgaea, and I really hope they will get the same English voice actors back for the Anime; if the Anime is going to be released in the US at all
