Man its already been a decade since the Abridged craze started. DBZA and YGOA were the only ones I really could watch, and the latter one still is very entertaining. (Poor LittleKuriboh/Martin though. He has had it rough)

Very few of the quality abridged series still exist. I am sad that PurpleEyesWTF stopped making videos but he was an insane one man show deal.

Look, when you make something as great as I'm At Soup you're allowed to realize that you've peaked and it's all downhill from there.

Sergeant Frog Abridged is goon-made and I was a big fan of that and the side ones they did like Bomberman Jetters and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.

The soup store was the peak of abridging, nothing before or after ever came close to that level of perfection.

The Shortz were pretty much a miss for me, their style of humor really needs to be cut with story for me personally. I do hope the direction works out because it's felt like a lot of their attempts to branch out haven't really had the success they're looking for. I know they did a dub for an OVA but that came and went with little fanfare.

Like Kaiser said, that's their main income stream even with Patreon and such. The Best Takes are starting, though: https://twitter.com/yugiohtas/status/1225570498874134529 As though they were just going to stride into Funimation and say 'we are here to provide English voices for all the Japanese cartoons now.' Although I know DBZA irritated Toei so not doing it anymore probably would help in that direction.

Honestly I have to agree with their decision, much as I loved DBZA. They were clearly showing mission creep on their vids, and KN's videos about the effort into each episode made it become glaringly obvious how goddamn hard it was to keep it going. Given how regular copyright claims are, why would you put that much effort into a production that gets your (highly successful) channel banned?

It sucks but I understand why they're done with DBZA. They have shown so many signs of burn out, especially now that their standards for DBZA are "put out a standard TV-length episode with original writing and tons of redraws/heavy editing". It's probably hard to justify keep doing it when it's also something that gets your main source of income threatened and you've developed other projects and career interests.

I liked Ygotas but quickly fell out of love with it due to LK's constant need to stop the show for a brief moment to explain any jokes he makes about the Yugioh series (like "Actual Dubbed Dialogue" text) that not everyone would get, and then repeating the explained joke throughout the entire episode. Contrast with TFS' constant one-off references to the most obscure Dragonball stuff like spin-off or one of its countless alternate dubs where they just trust the audience to get the joke and anyone not in the know can still laugh at the reference for being a non-sequitur. Ironically his Naruto parodies avoid this issue and it's comprised of almost nothing but injokes.

Arcsquad12 posted:https://www.patreon.com/posts/end-of-dbza-33758684 I'm sad to see it end, but honestly, I think they were planning to end it with the Cell Saga originally. It just wrapped up all of their story threads nicely, you can tell just how much they loved Cell (and it worked on me. I like Cell so much more now than I did originally), and it just felt finished. I think they only announced that they were going to do Buu partly out of a fear of fan pressure, and maybe a thought that they had more in the tank. I'd still like for them to do the movies at some point in the future, but if this is it, they ended on a great note. Still one of my favorite moments of the series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqQpLL7-GRM

I could tell TFS was getting bored with Abridged when they started sneaking in slightly more dramatic bits here and there. Like how they retconned Android 16 to be modelled after Gero's son who Goku killed when he destroyed Red Ribbon's base.

Yeah, it probably is to an extent, but it also gives Gero a more personal reason to have this obsessive grudge against Goku rather than “Avenge the army ran by a selfish rear end in a top hat that I made robots for!” Kaiser and Lani were talking about that on their play through of the new DBZ: Kakarot game, Lani in particular talking about how he was very happy about making the change. i am tim! fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Feb 7, 2020 |

Yeah, there's a long history of Japanese companies being extremely Not Cool with American attempts at "riffing" on their intellectual properties. (It took years to get home video rights for the Kaiju MST3K episodes, since the producers in Japan apparently weren't aware that they were allowing an American and two puppets to mock their film when they sold the initial broadcast rights) I've got to imagine being responsible for DBZA hasn't... endeared them to a lot of people in the anime industry, especially considering how many people called DBZA the best dub of DBZ. It kind of sucks because they built their entire brand around this one project! Not sure what moving on from it is going to look like for them,
