And... Looks like Disgaea may actually be licensed.

And for those lazy to open up the url...

Thanks to someone over at AnimeCentral, apparently Makai Senki Disgaea is licensed, but not exactly sure as of to who. Apparently one of the Representatives of Broccoli stated that during the license announcement of the manga, they stated that the anime is licensed. But as to who, they aren't sure. (Apparently they didn't state as to who)

I'm putting my money on Geneon. While I know Geneon Entertainment (Japan) and (US) are two different companies, and it doesn't mean Geneon US will automatically get it, it just seems like a show Geneon would grab. *Shrugs*

Anywho, here's more information on the matter

And here's the exact quote on the matter:

Quote:
The Wiire: You have an anime based on Disagea, airing in Japan right now. Are there any efforts to bring that over here to the States?



Niida: Yes, we are actually working very closely with... an anime production company and we are going to bring it over here to the states hopefully by October and maybe into November, and it will be here in the States as a DVD format to begin with, but we are also looking into broadcast. Hopefully Anime Network, Adult Swim, or Cartoon Network... so it's going to be very exciting later this year.

Apparently Geneon has the anime.

Considering PCB Productions (Who also did the English dub of the game.) has already listed the series on their credits page as "In Development" with Geneon credited, I think that is a safe bet.



C.T.


And at their page:

Quote:

PCB's anime broadcast series include: .Hack/Sign, .Hack /Legend of the Twilight Bracelet, Gene Shaft, Spriggan, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Disgaea, MAR, Bumper King, Ape Escape(Unknown what this is exactly. The Page that lists the info says Spumco's involved, as is Sony of Japan. So I'm at a loss here.), and Burn Up Excess.
