What Abridged Series would you want to watch, or even create? I sort of want to make one for Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes, but not only am I lazy, I haven't seen the show since the first few episodes.

I think we briefly tried to get together a Rebuild Of Evangelion but it died quickly because no one has any kind of good video editing software.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Full Metal Alchemist abridged.

There are a bunch. None of them are just good well-known.

I know this because I've seen a video where a guy on a con asked LittleKuriboh to put on a zombiemask and recommend his FMA abridged series to the crowd.

Digimon Tamers, unless such a thing already exists.

Also, this is probably a longshot, but seeing as I'm one of the poors souls who has been unfortunate enough to have seen an episode of Bakugan, it seems like perfect abridging material.

My in-progress MST series can be found here. Yay shameless self-promotion!

Random anecdote: When I was an aide at a kindergarten, all the kids were crazy into Bakugan. I made a point of indulging them, since adults wouldn't indulge me about Pokémon when I was a kid.

How about Bleach or Katekyo Hitman Reborn? They both have a, frankly, preposterous plot progression and a lots and LOTS of Snark Bait.

A one piece abridged that goes on for more than five episodes.

A good Zoids one would be nice. Don't care about which series.

History: The Abridged Series.

[up] I have no knowledge of a show entitled History, so I assume that you mean the past itself.

I think we already have a softer and lighter parody of that. It's called Axis Powers Hetalia.

But it's not an abridged series. Nor is it history abridged. It's a parody of the countries, not necessarily history.

I think I saw something kinda like that though. It was like, 'century in review' or something. I forget, but it had really fast talking.

When I think History Abridged, I think something made be someone who knows a thing about history, rather than just naming a bunch of generic anime stereotypes after places.

Read the comic. It actually is about history in a roundabout allegorical way, with occasional little derails because people like the characters.

[up] Yup. That's why I prefer the webcomic.

Occasionally, you'd think: what? I don't understand what's going on. Then you read Himaruya's notes and realize that it is funny.

The anime is totally random. The webcomic actually does parody history.

I think we have already more than enough abridged series.
