I propose getting rid of D Grayman Abridged and put it down there with the links. There's nothing in it but a lame desrciption (by the creator himself, probably) and the series itself only has 6 episodes and hasn't been updated since the summer.

EDIT: I forgot that TV Tropes was a bastion of NICE on the Internets! The replies I've gotten have increased my heart three sizes today. This website is made of LOVE AND PEACE! Additional reference! So I've sweetened up my remarks from the original half-snark.

You know what I'd love, guys? A worth-watching list thing. Not in the article, obviously. But in here.

Okay, I'll start with stuff I've seen and liked.

Little Kuriboh's Yu-Gi-Oh! and Naruto:
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! YES! The leader, the forerunner, the troublemaker.
  • Naruto. Sure! He's experimenting, but it's still funny.

The Team Four Star's Dragonball Abridged: Also yeah! The action is just action, so not necessarily funny, but still not bad. The rest is quite good, especially the way they've twisted minor characters into full-on spotlight stealers (Evil Mr. Popo!)

hbi2k's Berserk Abridged: Great original series, very good abridged series. The author actually goes over the plot, which I always think all abridged series should do. On the other hand...

Full Metal Chao's The Abridging of Haruhi Suzumiya: ...doesn't really discuss the plot at all! So if you don't know the original, you're sort of in the dark. I still really enjoyed it, though, because of the quality voice acting and (I'm gonna be honest) the hilarious and Ear Worm-iriffic title sequence. Tom Jones and anime dances. Like cereal and milk.

Antfish, Dark Side Incorporated and Gutted Wren Studios are just 3 to throw out there. They rarely disappoint.

Gan Xingba's Avatar Abridged is a must-watch. Stick with it past the first episode (which is iffy). In fact, that's good advice for any abridged series.

I don't know how old the Yu-Gi-Oh one is, but there's a german one called "Sinnlos im Weltraum", a fandubbing of Star Trek TNG made back in 1994 and put on the internet in 2002. I'm not too sure if it fits this category (because I never watched any of those listed here - not at all an anime fan), but I'm pretty sure it would predate YGO and therefore be an Older Than They Think

Was it edited to abridge it?

Yeah, it is. The question is: Are non-English-language Abridged Series allowed here? I know, e.g., the Series from Coldmirror (A German producer of Harry Potter Abridged Series. She does all the voices and has produced parodies of the 1st and the 2nd Harry Potter films yet. A parody of the 4th one is being produced right now). The sources are obviously im German, but I hope, my fellow German speaking colleagues here will be glad to contribute. The sources: http://wiki.coldmirror.net/wiki/Hauptseite http://www.coldmirror.de/ www.youtube.com/user/coldmirror coldmirror.net/

When making trope examples regarding abridged series, in which folder do we put it? Because I have seen abridged series trope examples under New Media, Fan Works, Web Original and even in Anime and Manga or whatever is abridged (usually under the parodied work). Or is it time to make an entire folder for Abridged Series (granted, there are many abridged series now that it can warrant a folder to itself)

I tried making a whole new folder, but some really got upset about it.

Would an Abridged Seres comic strip on Deviant Art be awesome?

Well, I'm sure there are people who would like it. But wouldn't it be like Darths And Droids, then? Without the roleplaying, I mean.
