Japanese are either weirdly cool, or cooly weird.

Disgaea was and is a video game of wonderful strangeness. Sort of a dungeon crawl type affair where you take your troops and position them and attack the enemy. It has a shell of story that makes it all light fun. So why not make a tv show of it?

Well, maybe because it makes no sense. Here we have a demon prince, his demon vassel, and a rather angelic young lady forming a rather odd threesome. Add in space ship jones types and undead penguins that say "Dood" a lot, and you have a recipe for plots that can go anywhere. It's the type of show that if it isn't overkill then its cute overkill. Which is worse? Consult your doctor.

I love this show, it's funny and strange and did I mention undead penguins that say "dood?" Dood that is worth the price of add mission oni! So thank you Japan for being weird and treating good and evil like one would treat shirt and skins.
