Blissmo likes Bunnies, I like Prinnies. Let’s see what I watched this week.

Christmas is coming, look busy. If you’re not busy, you soon will be because it’s Christmas Eve down under and there’s a bit of time left before the traditional midnight one present opening can occur. But what do you do if your lazy film student brother borrowed your external hard drive for a film project and won’t hand it back because he hasn’t finished it? Well it’s time for some licensed Anime DVDs which for some reason have sat on my shelf unwatched for a long time.

That is why this Christmas I decided to finish watching the Disgaea Anime. Disgaea has a warm place in my heart because I manage to laugh with it when others of similar European ancestry would find it baffling to why it produces laughter from me. It’s zany, it’s agressively Japanese in its humor style, but there’s a lot of funny moments to have with this particular Anime.

For starters, this isn’t an ordinary fantasy genre Anime, there are defenders of the Earth in space ships as well who travel with a robot, a moe angel called Flonne and a demon named Etna who are the only two DFC women whom Laharl is not intimidated by via a bounteous bosom. And before you say this series is loli keep in mind there is no chance in hell that any of the characters in this (save “Laharl’s Sister” in what I will call the “onee-chan joke” episode) are children. And if they lock me up in Australia for saying that about this Anime well then our nation has gone to the dingoes.

The Prinnies in this Anime are penguin like creatures resembling bat-winged and blue Linux logos with cash inside them, who are worked like slaves by the Demons, Laharl and Etna in particular.

The anime is twelve episodes and I haven’t been bored watching a single one of them. The good thing about Disgaea is there is no filler, and every moment of it is at least somewhat entertaining, though the progress of the plot is non-linear in a way because characters that appear earlier in the series haven’t reappeared so far, but when I watch the final disc of it tonight I should know what exactly is going on with the squad of mercenaries and what Etna’s motivations are.
