Yeah. It's a big pile of spoilers for later in the series like "Goten and Trunks perform the Fusion!" with the most noticeable being "Gohan becomes the strongest in the universe but doesn't do crap!"

I've been with TFS since they did Dead Zone (the first time) and World's Finest Abridged.

They didn't, though.

Lani, Masako and Vegetawhatevernumbers did but. Not TFS.

I think they were called Neighborhood Cluck?

Anyway.

I can't remember when exactly I got into it, mainly because I was introduced by my cousin and his friends doing a binge. I'm pretty sure it was sometime around Season 1 though.

It's likely because of This Very Wiki and some of the clips posted that I got into this. I can't recall exactly, but I did enjoy the ep where they fight Recoome, for his blatant Wrestler persona, Vegeta giving his own speech that gets ruined when the theme for the dub of Dragon Ball GT is used as his theme, and the ending where Goku arrives to I am a real american.

Good stuff.

If I keep going back, most things that I've gotten into over the past few years date back to This Very Wiki.

Like, I'm pretty sure I found the YGOTAS page and then I found the DBZA page from there.

Honestly, I'm pretty sure that's true for most of the regulars here. TV Tropes is the ultimate gateway drug.

Ironically I discovered TV Tropes through YGOTAS. I was on the Yu-Gi-Oh wiki looking at the BBT movie script and followed a link to our A Wizard Did It page.

I found DBZA during season 2 when my brother showed it to me. Episode 18 was the first new episode I saw, which I remember because it was uploaded around my birthday. As for Yugioh Abridged, I found that after hearing a lot of people talk about it and deciding to look into it. I watched Episode 40 because it was the most recent one at the time, and between the two suits with the German accents and Joey nyehing over the opening, I was in tears of laughter and couldn't see the screen, so I went back and watched from the beginning of the series.

First time I've decided to watch DBZA was some years ago. I was a huge fan of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged, and I have only heard good thing about this one. Unfortunately, I was very bad at understanding spoken English back then, and couldn't find reliable subtitles. The second time was just a couple months ago. I think I've caught up at episode 48.

Yeah, at this point 90% of the new things I get into are directly because of Tvtropes.

Edit: Oh, and I got around to watching DBZA fully 2-3 episodes ago, although I'd seen parts before that.

I hope they reference Android 13's "$30 haircut" diss at Trunks. I don't know why, but I'm obsessed with that line. I don't know what's funniest, the line itself, the fact that somebody came up with the line, or the fact that the studio actually entertained the line and put it in the movie unironically.

I have been a fan of DBZA since episode one. As for Yu-Gi-Oh, I came in there at episode 19, AKA the one where Pegasus duels Bakura with ancient Egyptian laser beams. One other abridged series I've seen all the way through is Vision Of Escaflowne Abridged. Is it any good you ask? Take a look at this scene and judge for yourself.

Thanks for that. I'll watch it right now from the start. I loved hbi2k's Berserk Abridged.

It started with Avatar Abridged for me. After I finished that, I searched for other abridged series. I found DBZ Abridged around the time that Dodoria died. I've been hooked ever since.

The legend has returned.

The site shows that editing's 92% done. Super 13 Abridged is right around the corner.

Shouldn't the new Hellsing Abridged also debut this weekend?

I think they said both would debut at the same time.

I started watching DBZ Abridged not too long ago after randomly seeing a "Best of Frieza" video. Other than other Team Four Star ones, though, I'm having a lot of trouble watching any others because TFS is so solid, both in terms of jokes and voice acting.

Hellsing Ultimate Abridged is being delayed, because Taka is/was moving, which caused some issues. But Super Android 13 is finished and is coming out this weekend.

...Is Taka even in the next Hellsing Ultimate Abridged?

I could have sworn there was still like an episode or two before Alucard gets back to the plot.

Until then he's stuck on the boat.

Alucard doesn't make it back until episode 8 but I think he's still in a cold opening in the next one.

And has some telepathy bits with the Police Girl.

Oh really when?

Yeah, there's one bit in the next episode where Alucard talks to Seras telepathically. I don't think he makes his grand entrance until either the end of Volume VIII or sometime during Volume IX. We still need to have Enrico Maxwell reenter the scene before he comes back.
