Nia Sapphire's Otaku Life

So the game that I'm gonna review now is:

Now you will learn the awesomeness of sardines.

A sardine obssesed vampire, a loyal werewolf servant, a girl who thinks everything is her dream, a little girl who wants to be the final boss, a boy who is a son of a president, a greedy angel who steals money, and many other more nonsensical characters.

What it's about:

Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten is the fourth game in the Turn Based Strategy series Disgaea by Nippon Ichi. The game revolves around Valvatorez—a vampire who forbade himself from drinking human blood after he made a promise 400 years ago—and his campaign of reformation against the corrupt government of the Netherworld. With him is Fenrich, his loyal demon wolf servant, and Fuka Kazamatsuri, a deceased middle-school student who was sent to the Netherworld and should have been turned into a Prinny, but because of budget cutbacks just had a Prinny hat slapped on her instead.
Other characters include Vulcanus, the Angel of Avarice; Emizel, the son of the Netherworld President; and Desco, a monster girl whose ambition is to become the Final Boss. Axel returns as the warden of Hades and Valvatorez' boss.Features include true high-resolution sprites (with the option of switching to the traditional low-res sprites), new Magichange commands and the ability to use a pirate ship to invade and plunder other players' games. (via TvTropes.org)

So here's the cast:

Yeah, he's a vampire but he's not an emo.

This is Valvatorez, the main character of Disgaea 4 and a vampire. A long time before the game's events, he had been known as "The Tyrant" due to how powerful he was, but following a certain incident, he refused to consume human blood, meaning his powers were depleted rapidly, and now he's a lowly Prinny Instructor in Hades. However, he doesn't regret his decision, and plans to regain his former strength.

Aww, look at him, looking so cute.

I'm beginning to sense people making twilight jokes.

This is Fenrich, a cunning werewolf and Valvatorez' attendant who has the utmost respect for him. He's willing to do whatever it'll take to see his master return to his former glory.

Fenrich's first encounter with Valvatorez when Valvatorez was still a tyrant.

Just what the hell with her legs.

This is Kazamatsuri Fuuka, a middle-school student who died and was sent to the Netherworld. She was supposed to become a Prinny, but due to how many Prinnies were already there, she just had a hat and jacket slapped on her instead. She is under the impression that this is all a dream and believes she can do whatever she wants because of it.

Fuuka with her friends when she was still alive.

Aww look, a shota boy.

This is Emizel, the only son of the current Netherworld president. He's the leader of the Abaddon, a special assassination force that works directly for his father. He's not aware that he's only riding his father's coattails. Apart from being the president's son, he's also The Grim Reaper.

Emizel without his hoodie.

Everything about her screams fanservice.

This is Vulcanus, spoiler: or Artina, an angel from Celestia who's come to the Netherworld for her own reasons. She is a greedy angel who steals money from demons in Netherworld.

Vucanus stealing money.

So cute~

This is Desco, a cute monster girl created to become the ultimate weapon that would destroy the world. Her official name is Final Weapon: Death/Extermination Submersible Combat Organism.

Desco with Fuuka, her "Big Sis".

My Thoughts:

Oh my, what a great game. It's really different than any games that I have known. So many lampshading, and ridiculous things. And the cast are pretty likeable. I can feel the fun of playing this game, even though I didn't play it, just watch the playthrough in Youtube. Now it has a manga, but sadly it is still not published, yet... What disappoints me is the manga has some ecchi Fuuka fanservice scenes =_=

My Favourite Character:

I love Valvatorez. He's the most likeable and inspirational character I've ever saw, and everyone agrees, even his voice actor. He's the best main character in Disgaea series compared to Laharl, Adell and Mao. I can't believe it if anyone hates him.

My OTP (aka favourite pairing):

Fenrich: My lord! Would you stop eating sardines already???

I love Fenrich xValvatorez, and also Emizel x Desco, and Fuuka x Vulcanus <3<3<3

So the manga that I review now is:

BEST. POKEMON. SERIES. in my opinion.

Don't try to search for Ash.

What it's about:

Pokémon Special known as ''Pokémon Adventures'' in the official English releases is a manga set in the Pokémon universe with a storyline more similar to the Pokémon games than the anime and creator Satoshi Tajiri has stated that it is more faithful to his original idea than any other adaptation.
The primary difference between it and the anime is that instead of the main character going to a new region with different companions, the protagonist (who usually travels without any other human accompanying them) changes every time the previous protagonist's story is through. It's also somewhat violent, as it is one of the few adaptations where you actually see Pokémon and people get badly wounded and even killed.
While there are multiple other Pokémon manga, this is the most well known (at least in English-speaking circles). If you see a Pokémon fan talk about "the manga", this is probably what they are referring to. (Some of the other manga are listed on the main Pokémon page.) (via TvTropes.org)

So here's the cast (the dexholders):

This is not Ash.

So this one is Red, 12 years old, from Pallet Town. He's a pokemon freak and an expert in pokemon battling. He's the main character of the first arc of this series, which is the Red/Green/Blue arc, and returns again as a main character in FireRed/LeafGreen arc. Reckless and immature, but brave and kind-hearted. He matures as the story goes on. He is no longer a reckless and immature kid in FireRed/LeafGreen arc. His starter is Bulbasaur. (y u no choose Charmander??) Also, he gets more stronger in pokemon battles.

Even of his sarcastic personality, he have his nice side, more notably towards his friends.

He's a feminine boy (but he's not gay) as he love beautiful things, and he's good in sewing clothes. He dislikes pokemon battles, because he doesn't like his pokemon getting dirty. He takes part in pokemon contests, and his goal is winning them all. Despite disliking pokemon battles, but he's actually really strong in pokemon battling, that his skills might be a rival to Red's. But sadly, he only will have a pokemon battle if no one is looking.

Whenever Ruby is serious, his face is as scary as his father.

This is not May.

This is Sapphire, which acts as both the rival and the female counterpart. She's 12 years old, the daughter of Professor Birch. Her starter is Torchic. She is tomboyish and wild, and she is aggresive and have natural instincts like a wild animal. She likes pokemon battles, so she challenges the gym leaders in Hoenn and her goal is to win them all.

His only pokemon is Grovyle, and he challenges the Frontier Brains with borrowing some Pokemons from Crystal and Professor Oak. He is actually a lonely boy, as he before has no friends and always being bullied by people who are taller and bigger than him.

Now people will say "AWWW SO CUTE" at his hair.

You must be wondering how many characters actually in this manga now.

This is Diamond, or just Dia, 12 years old and the main character of Diamond/Pearl arc. His starter is Turtwig. He is a kind-hearted boy, a very persevere boy and capable to control his feelings as he is never seen being angry, and he's actually more intelligent than he looks. Arguably, he is the maturest dexholder compared to them all. He loves to eat, as he is rarely seen without eating something. He is talented in cooking and making poffins.

Dia in Platinum arc.

This is not Barry.

This is Pearl, Dia's childhood friend, 12 years old. He, altogether with Dia, forms a comedy duo where he acts as the straightman and Dia's the funnyman. Pearl is an energetic boy with a fiery spirit, and he always physically abuse Dia in his comedic performances, until Dia pointed out that he can't tolerate any longer for that. His starter is Chimchar.

Is this Dawn? N-O spells No.

So this is Platina, 12 years old, the elegant daughter of the rich guy Mr.Berlitz, the assistant of Prof. Rowan. Her starter is Piplup. Travelling while being accompanied by her mistaken-to-be-bodyguards, Dia and Pearl., her goal is to defeat all the gym leaders in Sinnoh and win all the pokemon contests. She is Dia's and Pearl's mistaken-to-be-tour guide. But in the end, they glad that they travelled altogether, as they have learned a lot from each other. She is now the main character of Platinum arc.

Aww look at her, what a cutie.

This is not the handsomer version of Ash.

This is Black, the main character of Black/White arc, 14 years old. His starter is a male Tepig. His goal is to be the best in pokemon battles. In order to achieve that, he studied hard since he was 5 years old.

White when she was little.

White with her hair down. Looks prettier, isn't she?

And more character will come next, because this manga is still ongoing...

My thoughts:

Wow. This manga is awesome. It has many points that the anime is lacking. One of them is absolutely blood. Words enough cannot describe how awesome this manga is. For the romance freak, don't worry, apart of providing great characters, this manga provide a fair amount of loveable romance between the dexholders above, no matter it is het, yaoi or yuri. But the beginning may seems boring at first. For the pokemon freaks out there, I highly reccomend this manga, because it is a worthy reading. Warning, I may provide some spoilers.

My favourite character:

Omg. All of the dexholders are damn likeable. And all of them are attractive too. So hard for me to choose between all of them. But there's only one non-dexholder that I like:

Don't know who is this? This is Riley aka Mr. Ladykiller.

Favourite Pairing(s):

Sigh, now, where to start? So many ship tease. There's too many, so I just put some of them. So I guess I'll start with het pairings first.
