Dragon Ball Z Abridged

There's a general dragon ball thread too and that's never stopped anyone.

...Also, sometimes when playing Dragon Ball games they've let slip some of their plans for future events in the series, so.

Like, the Xenoverse commentary playthrough had a bunch of "nettled" references/jokes before Episode 48.

Like, DB Cember is going to happen again this year. Like, their opinions on various aspects of Dragon Ball affects how they go about abridging it.

Presumably there's also a Hellsing Abridged thread, but since there has been grievous Schedule Slip in that series, I wouldn't mind if there was at least one post for each episode made here.

Oh, man, it's November. That means they're going to be LPing Dragon Ball games!

It always seems to sneak up on me.

[up]Who even knows? Probably delayed, given Kaiser's C Drive apparently died.

Anyway, a sort of Hilarious in Hindsight thing I just realised; Future Trunks says he's going to correct the spelling of Freeza 'when he gets home'. Come the extended version of Resurrection 'F', and Trunks is looking at a book that details Goku's battle with Freeza! That would be the kind of thing he'd need to fix.

They were asked wen Hellsing, and Lani told the chat to complain to somone who actually is working on the next episode, and he specifically said that Kaiser's computer shitting itself isn't a good excuse because, apparently, he's not the person who's editing the next episode.

Hmm. Who is working on the episode?

I'm legitimately curious. 2015's episode came out 3 months late (Jan 31 2016). Then they said they'd be doing 2 episodes a year, but Halloween was a week ago, and there hasn't been sight or mention of any episode yet.

Lani very specifically said otherwise regarding Hellsing Abridged on stream, so one of the two is wrong.

Originally, I thought the joke was that they only released Hellsing Abridged yearly because the original episodes took years to come out.

[up][up] Lani also said he's not involved in the making of Hellsing episodes, so I'd probably take the word of someone actually involved in the creation of the episode.

Aren't they always late? iirc not even the first episode was released until after Halloween despite being called a Halloween special.

[up] I know that episode suffered massive delays due to a combination of Taka doing a massive move to Vancouver and Kaiser getting really sick and then later finally going on his honeymoon.

Is Hellsing abridged enjoyable for people who know nothing about Hellsing?

I like it. It's not like you need to know the source material to appreciate Alucard being a hilarious asshole.

DBZA apparently is for quite a few people like that, so I assume so.

I only really know what I've seen of Hellsing Abridged and what I've read about it here and I love it.

Oh God! Natural light!

I love it, and everything I know about Hellsing comes from Hellsing Ultimate Abridged. They do provide a lot of context clues regarding Hellsing's lore that aren't that hard to piece together, though I imagine there's a few jokes that I didn't get by not having seen the series beforehand.

I tried watching Hellsing Abridged and didn't like it. It's possible that the first episode just sucks though.

Hellsing Abridged is one of my faves.

I dunno, I still like the first episode. Not as much as the rest, granted, but it's still very good.

It's miles ahead of the first episode of Dragon Ball Z Abridged, I'll give it that.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
