History YMMV / MakaiSenkiDisgaea

** Part of the problem that many had with the anime was that it's original trailer had far better animation and seemed to be a lot more faithful to the game, even hinting that Baal would appear. The final product was sadly plagued with OffModel animation and while the general plot was the same, there was enough changes to put off several fans. The lack of any real fight scenes only served to hurt the anime.

** Episode 10, Gordon and Kurtis confrontation. Gordon forgoes his usual [[LargeHam hamminess]] upon learning Kurtis' DarkAndTroubledPast.

* BrokenBase: Let's just say that opinions on the anime differ drastically.

* ContinuityLockout: Some details from the game were cut from the anime adaptation, but some things that depended on them were left in without much alteration. Let's just say as a result, some parts make more sense if you've at least played the first game before jumping into the anime.

* LoveItOrHateIt: You're either fine with the changes and enjoy the anime, warts and all, or you find it a bad representation of the source material and think the quality is unforgivable.

* GodModeSue: Laharl, he's only in danger of losing ONCE, and it's in a scene that's PlayedForLaughs.
* HilariousInHindsight: Maharl claims to be Krichevskoy's daughter and Laharl's sister and is planning to take the throne. Fast foward to ''VideoGame/DisgaeaDimension2'', in which Sicily, an angel who claims to be Krichevskoy's daughter and makes an attempt to take the throne from Laharl, is introduced. [[spoiler:Unlike Maharl, however, Sicily ''is'' Laharl's sister.]]

** One particular change that put off a lot of fans was the ending, which tried to combine elements of the game's Normal and Good Endings. While interesting in theory, it made Lamington look like a JerkAss who planned for Laharl to commit suicide all along and the lack of CharacterDevelopment between Laharl and Flonne (Due to the anime being more focused on comedy) made Laharl's sacrifice rather jarring.

* MagnificentBastard: Seraph Lamington. Again, see the YMMV page above.
