I dont know how they'll decide to fix hercules role in the cell saga with them having cell not only blowinh up hercules students but also have him btfo'd so early on

>Cell is defeated
>everyone flies off
>Hercule takes credit for it
Just like in the show.

I enjoyed the yugioh filler

I used to find it funny but since they took 3 months per episode and with their cell arc its lost its touch.
It feels like theyre trying to make this show serious instead of funny and its just weird

I'm not going to be contrarian for the sake of it and I'll be honest. TFS is the reason why I came back into Dragon Ball. TFS brought back Dragon Ball to the english speaking audience. They are amazing and legitimately funny at times but lately their humor has been lacking. Their role as a parody series has been lost due to character development and populism and now Neo TFS takes their show too seriously to make any silly jokes. They need to know that it's okay to go off the plot and go out of character to make retarded offensive jokes. Right now, they are just retelling DBZ at a snail like pace.

Mr Satan's character is the exact same as the actual show and that's disappointing. I also think ssj carter made a funnier Broly abridged movie than TFS.

Blatant fandub at this point

Last episode was just everyone assembling at the cell games, and that was it.

S'alright. I get some laughs out of it.

Fix what? That's pretty much what happened and the students are filler shit so they don't matter

I thought the latest one was pretty funny

I havent watched in a long time. Ill check it out again if theyre back to being goofy and not just retelling the story

Also their pacing is god awful in the Cell arc. TFS needs to speed up and get this show over with.

The only way to watch Z

I don't think they have anything planned once the 'abridge series' ends

Dont they have like over 3m subs?
Theyre probably making ok money from this, i bet theyll keep it going

Tee shirt Shilling the Abridged series.

Probably, but as far I know, they don't have any other abridging or dubbing projects in the works. The closest thing is that they occasionally do gag dubs of random clips from Dragon Ball Super on facebook and twitter

But the instant they finish all their careers will be over.

they'd have DB Super to fall back on.

The last episode was mediocre.
The Broly Movie was based as fuck.
The Cell saga overall has given me some great laughs.
The Frieza saga was very based.

That's effectively still just the same thing. When I said "finished " I meant all dragonball media.

The point is, they know they have to slow down because they've got nothing else to do past a certain point.

Imagine that. An abridged series having poor pacing. What kind of topsy-turvey shit is this?

>let's keep pushing that gay joke about yajirobe and that white cat
>hey i know, let's have them married LMAO xD!!!

There are some jokes are funny when is thrown back while others only worked once like this one

I think that it's more that Kaiser is just really anal when it comes to editing, besides a few of them can always go full time professional voice acting or something since they got those connections now

One of them is gay. He wants to self insert.

>He wants to self insert.
that explains why this "subplot" is so shit

Episode 53 received a copyright ban on youtube from toei animation btw

Before Broly, when was the last time we saw either of them?

He's also a furry.

>He's also a furry.
great, no wonder his jokes or running gags are shit

But they need time for their Let's Plays, user! That's much more important than new episodes

How do you know which ones are his?

But they've only had one guy doing the editing since the beginning and he don't do let's plays

He obnoxious weeb tendencies are way fucking worse than his furry fanfiction

Sometimes funny, mostly shit. Peaked during the Frieza arc because that was when they were still trying to make a funny abridged series and not a demo reel to try and become real voice actors.

all you doing is criticizing him without any proof, you guys are all bullshitting

Latest episode was the worst episode in a while, 55 and 56 were decent, and 54 was actually pretty good. First half of the Broly movie was meh, second half was pretty good. Still think the funniest thing they abridged was The World's Strongest.

they still make me laugh but honestly I think they invest FAR much time into the Lets Plays, same with LK, he does far too much side stuff honestly.
Like I get they need to have their own lives and they write episodes in advance, but I think they spend far too much time on side projects just to kid of buy time. At least we know the movies are generally good

...

They do have Helsing

Really? I find a lot of their old humor too random and corny myself. I kind of like their more recent work since the android saga since it tones that down and tries to make the characters more funny in their interactions. Straight adaptation isn't terrible, though I wish they updated more.

I stopped watching when they became more interested in flooding their channel with let's plays and eceleb shit than actually making episodes.

It was funny up until the Frieza saga.

Then they got a little carried away. I used to think the longer release intervals would be agonizing, but I got over it pretty quick.

It has high notes, it has low notes, but overall it's good. It follows the show pretty accurately, fixes some pacing issues and has some funny (and some less funny) jokes.

why do they use the shitty orange bricks for footage?

>Mr Satan's character is the exact same as the actual show
>how do you make a joke character a joke character?

Oh yeah, but that's almost over anyway.

But their gaming channel doesn't really affect their abridging channel

Hellsing's entire crtuch was basically Alucard and his banter with everybody, the last two or three episodes fell off because for plot reasons Alucard is nowhere.

The quality of the show is very iffy at the moment. Cell is essentially a light version of Alucard now. it doesn't help that for the past two or three years they made announcements saying they were finally getting their shit together and releasing them regularly (like every month and a half) and that fell flat. The show just seems to be trying to be too serious now. It worked with Cell's initial appearance because they played up the creepiness, but not now.

at least it's better than funi's dub

do you have a torrent of the whole series?

It started off as a pretty funny low budget parody, but by the freeza arc it because 10/10 hilarious and actually matched an official dub in terms of quality.

Since then it's slowly lost a lot of the spark of humor that kept it funny before. in terms of objective quality it's better, but something about it just feels not as creative or special. I'm not sure if that's just due to me being used to the formula by now, or if their team has just gotten too in a specific wokflow that has gotten repettitive or what.

I still think this guy's stuff is better:
youtube.com/watch?v=B4YcxnnxJkE&sns=em

It was dead for months, now it looks like your average YouTube channel. The oldies playlist is where the gold is.

Started out great and I still like it but the episodes have slowed down.
Even though they are putting a ton of work into their editing the writing has suffered for it, their twisted version of the DBZ characters have become one or two catchphrases characters that repeat the same joke over and over again.

It has lost it's charm and humor and just become an english dub of the Anime series, a really really good english dub but that is not why I liked the series.


Yu-gi-oh abridged is pretty much dead, hard to stay subscribed to littlekuriboh since all of his uploads are either a wrestling update or why he wants to kill himself.

The door joke in TFS was a lot better.
youtube.com/watch?v=wrpgLny4pHI

>Yu-gi-oh abridged
Dbz abriged is alive to me solely because of cell.
Yugioh on the other hand I don't know either It might be because of where the arc is and the updates but every time it comes out I genuinely forget it was thing to begin with. And the jokes pretty meh the monsta cardo scene wasn't that great but the episode was still ok.
> hard to stay subscribed to littlekuriboh since all of his uploads are either a wrestling update or why he wants to kill himself
I didn't know thats what those vlogs were for fucks his deal

Yeah LK got kind of vlog heavy and its kind of sad that he updates those more than his series. Don't get me wrong, he can do what he wants and its nice of him to be like "hey if you have depression we're here for you", but so many of them are nothing to do with depression? Then he did that parody scene when Trump won and it all went down hill really.
I honestly think after he does this season he should stop because no one cares anymore, unless he abridged the new movie or something.
Hell, Yu-Gi-Oh! went through THREE WHOLE SHOWS just as he got to the Wake the Dragons arc, that's how slow he is

Gantz Abridged is the greatest of all abridged series

>I didn't know thats what those vlogs were for fucks his deal
He's exaggerating a bit, but dude is kinda depressed and makes vlogs to deal with it I guess. I stopped watching his channel because he was bumming me out

Gotta give it to hbi2k, he made and finished 3 abridged series. Lots of them barely finish one if that

They cannot monetize dbza videos, or any other abridged series videos they might do, otherwise YouTube fucks with them, again.

All their non patreon income is from the let's plays and other random shit they might put up

>>how do you make a joke character a joke character?

You make a new joke that plays off the original one.

Like they did with the Ginyu force.

The Chichi raping Goku bit (although went on too long) was hot and turned me on.

Stale now. Used to be funny.

Kinda like when Cell had that whole "people of all genders" line. Cell wouldn't give a fuck about that

probably reading too much into a throwaway line

the first episode was funny, but now it's worse than super.

... I thought this was a 4 picture 4 paragraph maymay. I feel misled.

Yeah, for an "abridged" series, they've been going rather slow for the Cell saga.
At times its practically like watching the actual show, only the characters are constantly attempting to sound badass or witty.

Now you just have poor taste. Even they don't like their early episodes anymore

>It feels like theyre trying to make this show serious instead of funny and its just weird
>Last episode was just everyone assembling at the cell games, and that was it.

They're trying to stretch out their gravy blimptrain.
socialblade.com/youtube/user/teamfourstar
socialblade.com/youtube/user/tfstwosaiyans

the saiyan saga is kinda meh because they just started.
The Freeza Saga was great.
The Android saga was better honesty.
The Cell Saga is kinda slow and isn't AS funny, the last joke I laughed at was Second Form Cell with the different people on the islands talking to him.
I wish they'd pick up the pace a bit considering they're at the climax of the saga

Episode 1 is their best episode. Being completely serious.

They said in an interview they plan on ending it after Buu. I doubt toei would let them try dbs, unless they go blazingazurecrow with it

Their abridging channel doesn't make money though. They specifically opted out of that so it doesn't get hit with the banhammer

That would probably depend on when Super actually finishes. But yeah, Super isn't on the table at the moment

I hope they do GT. The cancer that they have turned into would be more bearable on GT.

It's one of those things that I still watch only because I've been watching it for so long, even though I don't really find it all that amusing anymore. Last episode in particular was pretty awful even by their standards.
There's usually at least one decent gag once in a while, though.

What about that shitty FF7 "Machinabridged" thing they had going

Hey, what's your power level?

Kaiser said on Twitter if theyre going to do anything after Buu, it'll be Dragon Ball. That's also not going to be for about 5 years given how long it took to finish Cell, so they might change their mind and do GT instead.

Probably around 100.

They're not gonna do GT, one of the rules they have is that one of them has to like the show they're abridging which is currently none of them in regards to GT. No one wants to sit through and study hours of something they hate just to make fun of it

Pretty fucking funny but I unsubbed when they started all the bullshit videos nobody fucking cares about to shill their shitty t shirts and patreon.

Now I just check in every few months to watch the few bits I actually give a shit about.

>HEHAHAUGEWUA HEY GUYS CHECK OUT OUR NEW GHOST NAPPA SHIRT ONLY $25
>DONT WORRY ABOUT MISSING IT BECAUSE WE'LL TAKE 4 MINUTES OUT OF EVERY VIDEO TO TELL YOU HAHHAHEHHEA EHI
>mfw

I miss when Helsing had rape jokes ;_;

> I also think ssj carter made a funnier Broly abridged movie than TFS.

The masochist slaves were damn hilarious though, and some parts of Princess Trunks too.

Let's not go full Sup Forums in here, please.

4.
I'm probably weaker than the fucking farmer

WeeklyTubeShow is better

You're exaggerating pretty hard there.

Most of the VAs are so good and iconic that I sincerely can barely remember the "original" english voices. Vegeta, Trunks and Krillin are perfect.

Also Nappa

The channel used to be nothing but the abridged series. Now it's loaded down with all kinds of retarded filler bullshit nobody cares about literally just so they have something to slap ads on.

Fucking top 24 villains? I wouldn't care about that even if it was one fucking video but nope they make it into FUCKING SIX (6)

I don't blame them for riding the tiger and milking it for all it's worth but I don't want that shit in my sub feed.

I may be missing t he intent of your post.
But if I haven't:

Off to >>>/reddit/ please.

Look they've getting as little too political lately. Always talking about something being sexist or agendas.

Used to be great, but now the fame's going to their heads. Quality of the videos is being affected

...

Sup Forums(and Sup Forums, although they're interchangeable nowadays) are THE most reddit boards on Sup Forums.
Like, not even as a joke, they're literally actively calling people from reddit to "join their cause!" against the evul sjw.

Case in point

...

I'm just going to pop into this "argument" real quick to say it's 100% obvious you have no clue what you're talking about.
Why would you go on the internet and tell lies, user?

Yeah dude, surely the fags that love to derail any discussion to talk about boogeymen are the true Sup Forums.

I want ChiChi and/or Bulma to rape me.

>"But then, you find out that the only ones being called in for testing are your black und Hispanic co-workers. Race war."

The only one derailing here is you, friendo.
Quit over reacting to someone not wanting political agendas in their entertainment.

>Sup Forums
>people who sperg about Sup Forums spooks
I fucking main /k/ and the only time Sup Forums ever causes a derail is when someone accuses people of being Sup Forums for not being your average leftist/marxist.

>Quit over reacting to someone not wanting political agendas in their entertainment.

Case in point

Discussion was dead, you roaches revived it.
