Abridged Series

[Daesy]

Do you like Abrigded series of anime? We have heard of the first abridged anime series, Yu-gi-oh by little kuriboh. But there have been many other abridged series such as Naruto Abrigded and Yu-Yu-Hakusha, and DBZ abridged. Are there any you might paticular like? If you can post it here and explain why, i'm sure members might appreciate it. I know i would.

I've watched all the Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged episodes. Some are lame, but overall, they're pretty damn funny. I particulary like Tristan. He's a complete doofus.

Haven't seen any of DBZ. Didn't even know they did any of them.

You know what is funny. YuGiOh GX. That was hilarious. Too bad there is only 10 episodes.

Gurren Lagann Abridged is pretty good. I just wish that MegaLagann would hurry up and make more epiwaitOMGSKULL!

I watched the whole Sailor Moon Abridged series, which is funny seeing as how I didn't really like Sailor Moon in the first place. I the abridged series, was funny, though.

And even though the majority of his lines was "...in America", Bandit Keith was my favorite character from the Yugi-Oh abridged series.

Kaiba: And now the greatest contest of all....Japanese Animation vs American Animation
Bandit Keith: You can't say that, only Americans and can say that-
Kaiba: Shut the F*** up
Bandit Keith:..........In America.

Best interchange ever.

Man, I haven't seen either of these things! I must be way behind in the times! I'd totally watch the Sailor Moon one. xD

To be a little stupid, though...
...What exactly is an abridged series? I mean, I've heard of abridged versions of novels and such, but not meant in a humorous fashion.

I am a big fan of LittleKuriboh's "Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series" and "Ninjabridged", his Naruto abridged series. I also like Team FourStar's "Dragonball Z Abridged". WeeklyTubeShow's Dragonball videos are also good (also, his Rapeman dub).

Most other abridged series I've watched range from mediocre to terrible. And almost all of them are juvenile and highly derivative. So I don't really watch many others.

@Kendra: An "abridged series" is a fandub of a series (typically anime) that retools the show to be humorous. Often the majority of the jokes make fun of the source material, either affectionately or otherwise. The trend was started by LittleKuriboh and his (in)famous "Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series".

I love Bandit Keith from the Yu-gi-oh abridged series! xD



"I don't understand a word you just said. Try speaking American it's the only language I understand."

Personally I just love the Yu-gi-oh abridged series the most since I always thought the anime was just ridiculous.

Bandit Keith and that Guard With The Hair are awesome. Especially when they meet up.

"Man, that guy sure loves talking about his hair...."
"Man, that guy sure loves talking about America...."

The abridged series of parodies are basically episodes of anime reduced to about 5-10 minutes with a humourous overdub in order to take the piss out of the inadequacies of the series.

The best is Little Kuriboh's original Yu Gi Oh one but the best jumper on the abridged bandwagon has to DBZ: Abridged, which I expected to be pretty horrible but because of PoPo and the Krillin Owned count it's freaking awesome. Add to that Little Kuriboh acts as the narrator and it instantly gives it a leg up over the competition.





Naruto Abridged wasn't bad either but still doesn't touch the original.

I love the Yugioh Abridged Series. I've seen them all and the movie, and they are still hilarious now. Tristan was the best and I give LittleKuriboh credit since he did 97% of the voices with like 3% being other people.
