Re: Disgaea (Anime) ~ Hour(s) of Disappointment
Because a good anime doesn't need to have fight scenes to be good that's why. I enjoyed the Disgaea anime a whole lot. I'll admit i had my gripe into the fact that it totally strayed away from it's roots but you know plenty of good series do the exact same thing, a good example would be Magic Knights Rayearth or heck anything that clamp adapts into anime. This series was intended for fans of the game series not people who just decided Heck lets watch something for the sake of it. NIS made a mistake by making this a 12 episode series instead of a 26 episode one that it needed in order to develop plot and characters better. Though they did go into Laharl alot and I thought that was good. OUr anime club at USC columbia watched this and we all enjoyed it. The only gripe people had was the fact that they didn't see the ending coming the way it did and I had to basically give them a run down of how the multiple endings of the game work and then they were like WTF this is hillarious. Regardless It's not as bad as you're making it out to be. I've seen WAY WAY WAY worst come out of the anime market for a few years. I'd watch this again just for kicks but I think that Adel's story would make a better anime.

True, but the Disgaea anime didn't have any saving graces that would make up for what is otherwise an absence of fight scenes.
The jokes in the anime were nowhere near as good as those made in the game, and even those made in game had difficulty inspiring laughter out of me; the original Disgaea was kind of quirky, but Disgaea 2 was much better on the humor front.
Disgaea would LIKE to think it pushes the envelope, and says everything that everyone wish they could say, but it just stops short.
Of course, for an anime that's based on an SRPG, in which you spend most if not all of your gameplay time FIGHTING, why WOULDN'T you expect it to have fight scenes?!
P.S. Try using paragraph breaks to separate different ideas; when your post is one long, large paragraph, it's hard on the eyes to read; I prefer to only have to visit my optometrist every three years, y'know?

Re: Disgaea (Anime) ~ Hour(s) of Disappointment
True, the fight scenes were too few and far between, and far too brief. My biggest complaint was that it was a little too mild. I mean, it was an anime adaptation of a video game in which the player fought a zombie with a horse weiner.
However, it was not such an abyssmal failure. The trick is to not take it too seriously, I think that's partly why the plot of D2 wasn't as on par with the first one.

Re: Disgaea (Anime) ~ Hour(s) of Disappointment
Personally I thought the anime was great, not good as it could have been, but definitively worth it.
Maybe we have a hope of a Disgaea Ultimate Series?
Like Hellsing Ultimate, following the source material fairly close, plus some bonus content inbetween filling in plot holes and fleshing out deserving segments.
It could flesh out the late king's origins, meeting his wife, random moments in raising laharl, fighting baal and sealing him away, taking on the role of vyers, and his involvement with Lamington. It could also flesh out Kurtis' loss of family and alot more adventures of Captain Gordon and Jennifer (and Thrusday.) And lets not forget the return of Baal, Marjoly's and Priere's segments, and maybe a new ultimate ending. And by ultimate ending, some mesh of the good ending and the human world ending, maybe more?
It could also take things from the manga and existing anime as well: like the overly obsessive fatherly side of the late king, more involvement with vyers, the prinny rebellion, and Lamington's air head side (baking a cake when celestia is on the verge of war...priceless).
So many possibilites.

Re: Disgaea (Anime) ~ Hour(s) of Disappointment
The magna is much better than the anime :P. It is still different from the game, but it still sticks to the same basic story. As for the anime...it does kinda suck :/. It's ok but...it could of been a LOT better. And yes, in the magna it does mention Mid-boss being Laharl's reincarnated father. It also says that in the "World of Disgaea" book.
