More Disgaea anime details

By Spencer . February 17, 2006 . 3:21pm

NIS America has lifted the lid on the Disgaea anime. We’ve previously featured the trailer, but now we have more details about it. The series is rather short only, twelve episodes to chronicle Laharl’s quest to rise as king of the Underworld. We’ve already mentioned that Oriental Light and Magic is handling the animation, but now we know that the character designer from Initial D Akira Kano is handling character design. Kiyotaka Isako who directed Pokemon 4Ever is directing the series and the overall creation is handled by Atsuhiro Tomioka who’s behind Samurai 7. Also the original Japanese cast from the PS2 game will be returning to do voice work for the anime. As for the US localization it’s being handled by Geneon.

I saw the 12 episods of Disgaea the Anime... Well, I like the game more than the anime now. Both have different story, not totaly though.

But I like the Red Moon episode;)

Saki

Well Sandy Fox was the voice of Flonne and guess what. She also works for Geneon!^^

Alex

Ah, that is GREAT news :D Thanks for the heads up Saki.

Saki

Well, the voice of Laharl (Barbara Goodson) works for Geneon so hopefully she'll dub Laharl again! No one does Laharl's laugh better than Barbara does! ^_^

Alex

I don't see why not, as alot of those VA have been used in Geneons work. The guy who played Hakkai was one of the Dragons of Earth in "X". I'm drawing a blank but I'm pretty sure I've heard other voices as well.

Tanja

Geneon MUST hire the same English voice actors as from the Disgaea PS2 VG...they were all superb in their roles.
If the same voice cast returns, then this will definitely be an anime I am looking forward to ^_^

George

You really expected Geneon to use ADV's own IN HOUSE dubbing studio to dub a title for them?

Alex

Oh ok, hopefully they do it right.

*remembers how they changed the voice actors from Saiyuki when they acquired Sayuki:reload*

That's what scared me in the first place.

Siliconera

Just to clarify something we have not announced the US cast at all. We were saying that the Japanese PS2 cast will also being doing the Disgaea anime for Japan.

Alex

...why can't we have the U.S voice actors as well? I personally loved the cast and thought it was well done.

Geneon is going to **** this up I just know it.

Prinny's won't sound cool and cute anymore :(

Don't get me wrong, I own "x" and am building "tenjho tenge" I like Geneon, I just want the original cast.
