Holy character development Batman!

It's strange how much more I prefer Kirito and Asuna in this compared to the original. They have a great dynamic together.

Team Four Star just released new episode of DBZ Abridged. Cell is a cock-bocker.

They managed to do three hard things (well in a way two easy and one hard), make Cell come across as an abusive boyfriend and make 18 and Krillin's interactions and thoughts seem romantic and keep both from being something you just groan at. It is not hype for me when I say that the writing for DBZ Abridged is genuinely often better than many professional works I've seen. I don't go to the show because I have a fondness for the original DB, I go to it because I have a fondness for what's being created now.

I second this. TFS is really putting in their A-game.

Watching some of the YuGiOh Abridged stuff and wow, the first 10-20 episodes REALLY suffer bad from first mover status as the original Abridged Series. Starting at about the Battle City Arc you really see an enormous pick-up in quality. Contrast with DBZ Abridged done by experienced guys where it has a slow start for about one or two episodes and then is quality all the way from there.

For real.

I remember when Yugioh TAS first came out, and being absolutely floored that it was one dude doing all the voices. Like "holy shit how does he do that?!"

Now I can't watch them without cringing at the terrible quality.

But goddamn did they start a good thing, and in their time were amazing.

Kirito (after banging Asuna): Suck it Rosalia!
Asuna: I love you to--who the fuck is Rosalia!

Nevermind. It's all good.

And SAO abridged continues to be awesome.

Watching some of the Sailor Moon Abridged episodes again. I'm thinking to myself, were they unable to get high-quality rips of the episodes or was the animation quality really this shit in the first place? They had a fairly sizable voice cast from what I recall so it actually stands up pretty decently, aside from the poor video quality.

Sailor Moon Classic didn't have the best quality or releases back in the day.
yeah but I mean I can't tell if the Abridged team just got shitty rips or if the actual live show was that blurry all the time

Dragon Ball Z Abridged updated. Cell continues to be a dick to Trunks.
Holy shit that was a savage verbal beatdown. I feel really bad for Trunks right now.

Also, it's good to see Goku when he's not completely obtuse.

It seems like Goku gets smarter the higher his Super Saiyan state is. Gohan remarked that Goku's reasoning for him to get Piccolo to the ship was well thought out by Goku's usual standards, and not he's reeling off percentages in his 2nd and 3rd grade Super Saiyan forms.

The Abridged Buu saga might actually have Goku reaching average intelligence as a SS3.

What do you mean average? He already seems way above average when in SSJ form now with the way he was rattling off those percentages about fighting. If SSJ correlates to increased brainpower. SS3 would make goku a friggin genius when it involves fighting.

Edit: You know. That might actually be what they do to make Broly an interesting villain.

Going Super increases all stats equally, it seems, not just physical strength. Of course, building up mass in that level doesn't change the reduction to speed and mobility, but for someone dumb like Goku? It bolsters his intelligence a lot.

Cell turned verbal abuse to an art form.

I know there are a lot of attempts to make an abridged Bleach series, but this one is actually good. Starts out so-so but it gets better as it goes on. Plus, it has a fairly consistent update rate. It's already done with Soul Society and in the early Arrancar Arc.

Episode 1 is down, I think so I'm putting episode 2 below. No big loss since episode 1 wasn't that good.

So DBZ Abridged updated on monday, and the cell games are on.

But by far the best moment was the post-scene with Nappa. Glorious. So glorious I had to post about it, because everything about the abridged series makes way more sense then actual canon.

This one had some really great jokes. OCD Cell was the best. I love how they've somehow made him simultaneously terrifying and hilarious.
