FUNimation to release Disgaea anime in 2011

[lexie-belle.livejournal.com]

Please forgive any posting errors, as this is my first time posting to LJ. >3<;

It seems that FUNimation acquired the rights to the Disgaea anime. The first dubbed episode is available to watch online.
You can read more about it here, it's a rather short post:
blog.funimation.com/2010/09/funimation-entertainment-acquires-disgaea/
I'm kind of surprised, since it's already been released and all.. perhaps it's because NIS is in a tight spot?
If this needs to be cut or anything,  please let me know.

Well, I'm probably the only one who likes the Disgaea anime (and even then not every episode) but I don't see the sense in redubbing it.

I can't watch it at the moment, but if they did actually redub it, it wouldn't make much sense to me! The VAs are the same from the game, changing them would just be weird. D:

Perhaps it's merely a redistribution? As far as I know, it wasn't a very high profile release. (Though I have all 3 DVDs >w>)

haha i've always liked the Disgaea anime

yea they could have done alot more with it...but i'm definitely satisfied with it. i mean atleast them walking around the netherworld is more interesting then them beginning every episode in the castle warping everywhere.

ill stop here though..

Indeed! And...people are going to HATE me for this, but I LOVE the fact that Flonne was the one who found Laharl. I do, I make no apologies. It was super cute. *w*

It was just...a fun anime, I think. And we even got to see Maharl, who was cut from the game! :D

No, I have to admit I like the anime too. xD The first game I had bought was Disgaea 2, and while hunting for the first game, I watched the anime. It gave me an idea of what the first game was about.

Same for me! I had gotten 2 first, and this was the point in time before they had ported Disgaea 1 for every system ever, so it was still pretty rare! The anime is special to me! =w=
