I started watching from the end of Season 1 onward. Basically like right after I heard about Ghost Nappa.

I started watching from the beginning. Previous Abridged series I had watched before Dragon Ball Z Abridged were:

  • Yugioh Abridged
  • Naruto Abridged
  • Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged
  • Berserk Abridged

I think I joined just before the Season 1 finale. I vaguely recall waiting for the Vegeta fight to drop, but I don't think I had to wait long for it.

I watched like thirty seconds of Yu Gi Oh abridged and said "Nope." After that I watched TMNT Bastardized, which was pretty funny.

I started watching DBZ Abridged like right as the fight with the Saiyans was starting. And have been hooked.

Man, going back to early Yugioh Abridged is rough. But a genre has to start somewhere.

I have a message from another time...

Early Yugoh abridged is a bit to get back used to after how far everything's come, but I remembered why I loved this genre and that show after bringing the whole series about 2 weeks ago.

I think I found out about TFS first from when YGOTAS kept mentioning them (including having them as voices in Season 3). I started watching it for real a while after. I think, at that point, their newest episode was Episode 38.

A friend showed me Season 1 back in 2009, but because he's so forceful about showing me new things he thinks I'll like I didn't enjoy it at first. I tried it again in 2010 and here we are five years later and I love the shit out of the show.

Anybody remember Episode 42, when Kami and Piccolo finally fuse? Remember when Kami and Nail mock Piccolo with, "YOU CAN WIN! YOU FEEL GREAT! YOU - CAN - DO THIS!"

Apparently it's been changed so you only hear Kami now.

I really hope Lani starts up Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged again someday, with all he's learned and improved from doing DBZ Abridged.

I still love the early episodes of Yu Gi Oh Abridged. The quality just isn't as consistent though, so there are a few really odd episodes.

I actually started watching Dragon Ball Z Abridged after I was already a fan of Alternate Reality Dragon Ball Z.

Is that the one where Vegeta is really into singing?

That's the one where Piccolo is really into Celine Dion, Cell is gay for Goku, Raditz beat Cell out of nowhere, and everyone hates Mystic Gohan.

It's not nearly as high-quality as TFS and some of the jokes are kinda dated from the time when everyone was making Abridged series but it was genuinely funny. It had like 60-something episodes.

I actually first started watching DBZ Abridged because Little Kuriboh used to needle TFS about their Schedule Slip. Kind of funny in hindsight. tongue

But yeah, I think episode 8 or 9 was my first.

I happened to find the first DBZA episode while looking for actual DBZ episodes on Youtube (you know, back when it was kind of possible to upload anime there) and liked it, although I remember every odd episode being kind of... lackluster up until the fight against the Saiyans.

YGOTAS I heard about, back when episode 14 was the newest. Good times.

I've been with TFS since they did Dead Zone (the first time) and World's Finest Abridged. So, the beginning. I was a big fan of Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged and when Lanipator announced he was teaming up with some other abridgers to tackle Dragon Ball, I was immediately sold.

They were originally going to just do the movies and they started with those two. If you can find them on You Tube somewhere, rewatching them is a trip. None of the characterizations were quite down yet, especially Goku who is just plain mean rather than dim-witted.

So, question. You know during the Freeza fight when Vegeta says he'll find a Ginyu pod, go to Freeza Planet 419, which no one goes to since it miraculously repopulated?

... what did they say? I know one says "I CAN SEE THE FUTURE" but there's a bunch of overlapping voices that I feel are presumably jokes or references (I think I can hear someone saying "but doesn't do shit with it").

I know that longest one is something like "Gohan becomes the strongest warrior in the universe but doesn't do anything" or something.
