Dragon Ball Z Abridged

[up] I seem to remember that when he made the new Dragon Balls that he "made the rules" by adjusting things in the existing Dragon Balls. He decreased wish power to allow for more wishes, and to allow wishes to be made more often. That isn't quite the same as knowing absolutely every single thing about how they worked.

I'm gonna ignore the Black Star Dragon Balls idea for this. The basic premise of having the overuse of Dragon Balls going wrong is decent, making Dragon Balls when you know they will blow up the planet isn't.

He didn't decrease the wish power, he planned on raising the amount of wishes to 3 but when asked if he would still do mass resurrections he lowered it to 2. But the point is, they know how the Dragon Balls work. At the very least, they'd notice the negative energy in the Dragon Balls.

However, in GT, they know exactly what will happen with the negative energy and never say anything about it.

I think it's okay to have some sort of negative effect attached to overusing the Dragon Balls, but only something like a loss of power. Having them spit out enemies that could destroy the universe is just terrible.

So, uh, yeaaaaahhhhh... how about that Dragon Ball Abridged?

Seriously, we have a Dragon Ball thread in the anime forum if you want to discuss canon.

Is there going to be a DBZ Kai Abridged episode 2?

I hear no mention of season 2 Kai.

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

And of course, Cell's voice is just right.

I'm rather happy because cell is my favorite villain. And the voice is spot on.

What's with the spoiler tags, guys?

I wish that was Cell, because Cell is amazing.

Also, the "Keep Calm and DODGE" shirt sounds great. I'd actually consider buying it because it's one of the few "Keep Calm and X" shirts that actually retains historical significance.

Can't wait to hear Cell and 18's voices. But who was that in the hat, though...
Got it. Alucard. The hat, the guns, the violence, "Twilight"... But what does he have to do with this? Or was there a movie character who Vegeta fights who wears a wide-brimmed hat?

I'd like to see a Season 2 Kai too.

Alucard was used to promote their Hellsing Abridged shirt.

An interesting story.

I forgot I'd seen that video before... And I think we all did.

Hellsing abridged is funny. They even got Chris Sabat to do a voice.

You look happy, I can change that if you want.

@wanderlust warrior: Yes, that's where the "bitch, I eat people" line came from.

And I also recommend Hellsing Abridged even if you've never read Hellsing or watched either adaptation—if nothing else because the whole series so far is only about half an hour a little under 45 minutes. It is, however, considerably more obscene than Dragon Ball Abridged.

I actually misunderstood the video as meaning that the guy who does Alucard in Hellsing abridged was going to do Cell in DBZ A.

I blame this on Nappa saying he is the new guy.

The "You'll try..." line also made it seem like it was Cell.

So who is voicing King Cold?
