According to this brief article from Anime News Network, it seems that an anime based off the great PS2 game Disgaea: Hour of Darkness is in the making! I for one am excited about this since Disgaea had a great cast of characters and an awesome storyline. Plus, I loved the game as a whole. Anybody else have thoughts about it?
Really? I loved the game, I just replayed it a few weeks ago. Hope the anime is as good as the game or better =P
i hope they keep the funny moments and stuff, but they have to make the serious portions even darker to make this in to something worthwile, if not it will end up being some kiddie shit
I never played the game though I heard lots of good things about it. Looking forward to this anime!
Omg, I haven't been this excited since I heard about FF7: AC.
That's awesome news, I loved that game.
Excellent... a couple more weeks till Makai Kingdom!!!
yeah .... disgaea was the shizznit.
I've already dumped some arbitrary amount of time greater than 250 hours into it. Every time I think I'm done, I take a break, play something else for a while, and then after a while end up bouncing back to it.
I fear the voice acting though. The game's japanese cast was good, but the english cast was IMPECCABLE. I really hope they can get the same voice cast for the anime, 'cause .... yeah, it'd be a shame not to.

About Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
The Netherworld - a place darker than a pitch-black cave, located deeper than the depths of the seas. It is a cursed land where evil reigns and foul beings dwell. Nobody knows its whereabouts, but everybody fears its existence...
The story takes place two years after the death of King Krichevskoy, the ruler of the Netherworld. His son Laharl slept for two whole years, unaware of his father's death, while demons fought for supremacy over the Netherworld. With the help of his vassal, Etna and her underlings, the egocentric, megalomaniac Prince Laharl fights his way to become the next overlord.
Promo is out!

Edit: For some reason I didn't notice that the promo was already posted...
Anyways, yeah it was a good promo... I really hope someone else picks it up since that Fighting-Magic groups sucks balls.
That promo is freaking awesome!! I can't wait for the series to come out [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Character's designs looked loveable (if not too cute/wacky looking...), and the animation (promo wise) felt fluid and constant which was awesome...story...well, hard to say.
In all, looks quite interesting to watch...though, it's a 12 episodes series, I hope for a good-well rounded story (not too predictable...cliché game plots) to hold on...but if not (which is most likely...), at least it should bring along some great action and wacky moments to keep you "awake" during the run (not like Hack//Dusk) ...looking forward the 1st episode.
Funny, I was just talking about how they should make a Disgaea anime a few days ago with a friend.
I have to say, I'm eager to see how the Defenders of Earth turn out.
I don't have reliable source with me at the moment, but it seems that Geneon has licensed the anime. I'll let you know if I find more info on this.
I got the info from here:

Look at the last sentence from the opening paragraph.
I've been waitting for this as well as everyone, I just hope the best for it as I'm going to be watching
OMG im so happy i think a little pee came out!

I was just going to create a thread for this but then I realized this old one existed (with a post by me in it no less!).
So yeah, this series is going to kick ass. If the promo is any indication, this will definitely be next season's winner :D
