Latest episode is up!



Who else has loved this series for most of its time? I remember not really digging the first episode or two, but by the time Nappa made his first appearance, Team Fourstar really found their footing. Super Kami Guru is, hands down, my favourite character of theirs.

I never watched Dragon Ball Z. I'm watching DBZ Abridged. I'm getting the main meat of the story, none of the filler, and it's hilarious.

Am I missing anything by not seeing the actual shows?

A few jokes, but trust me it's not worth it. Mostly making fun of some of the older dubs, or other quirks in the show. The DBZ Abridged creators are clearly fans of the original show.

Not a fan of having to explain, in detail, the differences between the Dubbed/Cut American version of DBZ and the actual series that is DBZ, for at least the 40th or so time.

Same here, Shego. Same here.

By the way, you would love how much Jet is loving the bits of Dragonball Z we've been sharing.

Also, I love the abridged series. Cracks me up.

One is in english has some stuff cut out and has a rockin' theme-song, one is in Japanese has the full story and has also rockin theme song. DONE! Not counting kai in this equation of course, fuck kai.

Loved the new episode, "Why are you naked?" "You can't take your clothes with you idiot." "I did.""What?""Even had my wedding clothes, I didn't even die in those.""That lying red mother-fucker!"

I live in a world where you dont' have a clue what you're talking about Frankie Williamson

LittleSin, Darlin darlin darlin... get those remastered uncut copies as soon as you can. It's the perfect way to go from DB to DBZ. English (true) dub with Japanese soundtrack? Yuuuuuuuuuuus!

Hopefully, when Steve starts his new jobs, we will have the extra spending money. Also hoping to sell some painting after my gallery show.

Nope, not at all.

And I wasn't saying that the Japanese version wasn't superior, all I was saying is that it's just as full of bad, long winded and unneeded filler as the American version. All because the cartoon was made at a faster pace than the manga and needed junk to fill the time.

So your telling me that it's not completely weird that Goku,Curirin, and Gohan have the same voices they had in child-hood as they now have in adulthood? I'm not saying their bad voice-actresses I just think it doesn't transition with the aging process. Yes, Luffy sounds like a child in the beginning but Mayumi Tanaka brings a gruff new sound to it. Plus seeing as how this is the voice we hear from him in the beginning, it's forgivable. Kinda weird how I find the voice-actress for Curirin far superior than the one for Goku.

All-ready did, I hear it now. I should probly get my ears checked though.

In my opinion, DBZ abridged is the best dub of DBZ. It's the perfect satire/tribute to one of the greatest long-running Japanese cartoons and manga EVER.

I'd just like to say that I enjoy the abridged series. As for the original series... I prefer Dragon Ball over DBZ because it was a lot more comedy focused and knew exactly when you needed to relieve the tension.

Also the fights weren't as drawn out, and the human characters didn't seem USELESS in comparison to Goku. "Poor Crillin, after the sayains arrived all the human characters just seemed weak. Except for Yamcha, he pretty much stayed the same."-Lanipator

I really liked the original Dragon Ball. It was fun adventure.

One of these days, I need to get around to watching the original japanese version. One of the only things that annoyed me were the entire episodes of powering up, which I understand the japanese version has scenes that were cut out in place of 12 minutes of someone going super-saiyen.

Personally I loved those episodes. They just brought so much suspense!

On an unrelated note, why don't you have an avatar anymore, Nick? At first I thought this was posted by Allen. He who is quiet.

I deleted it when I was considering leaving the forums during that drama that occurred earlier in the week. Been thinking I need a new avatar, anyway. Not sure what, yet.
