I think I recall Kaiser saying something in the past about having an understanding with Toei where the company is cool with what they're doing and isn't going to slap them with a Cease or Desist order or anything as often happens to popular fanworks, but has requested that they stay away from the new material. Battle of Gods and the like.

So I'm not surprised to hear Super isn't going to happen for a very long time if ever.

It's not like Super has any redeeming qualities that'll make it worth abridging, anyway. So I'm not disappointed.

I expect DBZA to end with YSGAHFR Abridged(with jokes about other universes and cats and gods and Super Saiyan Blue) and then maybe a few years later a short DBA or DBGTA.

They'll probably have to change the title because quite a few inferior amateur projects have already taken "Dragon Ball Abridged" and "Dragon Ball GT Abridged".

Theirs will become the most popular anyway, so it's not like they'd have to care.

The Manga adaptation of Super is so far quite entertaining, and lore building is always good, at least in my book. Ergo, it has redeeming qualities, ergo, don't look down on things while stating your opinions as factual.

Yeah. You only have to worry about competition if you don't feel confident that you will immediately win that competition.

Did anybody care about the original Dead Zone Abridged after TFS released their version? That's the answer.

Speaking of animation errors, at the very start of Cell's song you can see that while Cell is moving the clouds of dust he kicked up are frozen in place somehow. Makes me wonder if that was a mistake in the source material and they couldn't do anything about it. They're usually better about this kind of stuff.

Also, that sound Cell makes when he puffs out his chest is both squicky and awesome.

Dead Zone original is cool, is probably is the only early DBZ movie I like.

@ Demongodofchaos2 : You DID watch Happiness Charge last year, right? Because I wouldn't qualify Precure as "having the best animators". It was literally only this season and Heartcatch in 2010.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

Yes.

They still do, at least compared to the other shows airing at the same time.

Go Princess also has a lot of Web Gen animators as a part of the franchise for the first time, and it shows.

It could be worse, Super could be animated like the original Futari Wa Pretty Cure series...

Although I would love to see any Super fight be as technical as Black vs White in the movie.

Why they dropped the "non-profit" part of the disclaimer. Lots of exposure.

They've mentioned this before, but people sometimes don't notice or know about these things I've noticed.

Also stuff about parody and reliance on Toei and things.

Dammit no. I hope he's kidding.

Earthquake?

Also, it makes sense for Toei to monetize DBZA.

It is how many people, including myself, were exposed to Dragon Ball in the first place.

It's been a while since I saw that episode. Was there an earthquake scene in Hellsing Ultimate 6?

Washington got hit by a 4.8 magnitude earthquake. Takahata101 lives in Vancouver, according to the cast page.

What I'm confused about is that I thought they all moved to a centralized location?

Lani and Kaiser moved to Texas.

And they got Kirran as a writer now, and he also lives in Texas.

They're trying to get Taka to live in Texas, but he isn't.

I think Kaiser mentioned that they're trying to convince Masako to move to Texas also.

Well, they should now have their own office building so it'd only make sense.

...It occurs to me that, at the moment, Lani and Kaiser are the only ones that will actually be using the building.

Until they hire more people, anyway.

One of the reasons Kaiser's mentioned he did everything by himself before they started the Patreon is that he didn't feel comfortable asking people to help him with things when he couldn't pay them.

What with it taking time from their schedules and everything.

Which resulted in a very stressed out and overworked editor.
