Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series

Did anybody else notice that Kaiba sounded slightly different in the new episode, or is it just me?

Possubly. Ether way, he's totally on point. The Mokuba phone gag was top-notch.

Yeah Kaiba sounded different to me too.

It's because he's yelling, I think.

I think so too.

Maybe Battle City put him over the edge?

I remember in the 4kids dub she got a random southern accent in this arc.

So next time I bet the old Mai and the new Mai will fight it out in her head or at least make comments about it.

Anyone else feel like Martin is starting to get tired of doing this at this point? It's still funny, but it seems like he's trying to rush now as it is.

I do think with Yu-Gi-Oh abridged he's been kind of going through the motions with these latest episodes. I honestly find the Mark Remark to be funnier.

I think the problem is these filler arcs are really dragging. What he ought to do is start covering more plot per episode. I mean, we just went two episodes without a single card game.

I'm hoping the Grand Championship Arc is covered in a single "Card Game Channel" episode like the Duelist Kingdom finals.

Covering multiple episodes at a time would be a great answer to the Arc Fatigue. The way Little Kuriboh blasted through the Duelist Kingdom finals (essentially combining episodes 29-39 into 1) is still great in my mind.

Mai got a new accent because her old voice actress, Megan Hollingshead, quit working for 4Kids in 2004. Her new VA was Erica Schroeder/Bella Hudson, who also voiced Mana and the Dark Magician Girl.

frankly I like it more when LK focuses at least a little bit on the duels

Yeah, Yugi vs Kaiba in Battle City was one of my favorites because of that.

For the abridged series, episodes tend to combine multi-part episodes from the original series into one episode, while standalone episodes remain one abridged episode. If this pattern holds for all remaining episodes, Season 4 will end at episode 82, the Grand Championship will end at Episode 89, and the entire series will end at episode 104. This is the maximum amount of episodes, and maybe some could be edited together to shorten them further. In particular, there are very few multi-part episodes in the Egypt arc, so if that were left as-is, the abridged version wouldn't be much shorter than the real thing.

Episode 67 is up.

This might be his best episode in a while.

Best episode in the current season definitely. Lots of good jokes in there, both metatextually and in show.

The episode finally explained exactly why Kaiba always wants to screw the rules.

I don’t normally dream about Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series, but last night I dreamed that the episode where Yugi loses to Rafael had been made. Its title was “YUGI LOSES” in big letters, and it opened with a super-serious monologue from Pegasus about how a storm was coming, set to epic orchestral choir music.

After that I dreamed I woke up and the sun was replaced by the Millennium Eye.

TFS likes this apparently.

Episode 68 is out, and features Mai and her new voice.

It nice to see some more Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged. A good solid episode.

That was pretty great.

Joey, Tristran, Yugi: "Thank you"
