Yamcha is the most useless DBZ character next to Krillin. They should've stayed dead.

>>157135051
I think it has just become what it was parodying. The characters feel and joke like what you would believe to be themselves and the VA is very well done.

It's evolved into a passable dub, like a SparkNotes version of an anime as opposed to an anime.

It was way less funny. It was mostly just skipping between Satan trying to explain the others' powers, Goku and Cell being gay, and "We Are Number One" pasted over a fight scene. Maybe one or two decent little lines in between it all.

Shit came out relatively quickly for once, but sucked a lot.
>>
I smirked at a few lines but overall not very funny. Hard to say what's causing it. Maybe this arc just doesn't have many potential jokes, maybe they've forgotten it was supposed to be funny altogether and have just started doing their own normal fandub with occasional weird/snarky lines.

Might be this. Last time I belly laughed at anything TFS related was in season 3. After Imperfect Cell it just wasn't that funny anymore. When you rely so heavily on repackaging jokes, which was already getting a little annoying in season 2, you're gonna kill your audience's patience. I usually don't watch these episodes more than once now

It is just a commercial series now, and I can't help but think it's my fault. A few years back I made a comment on a TFS abridged episode. This was back when they claimed that the show was non profit at the start of every single episode. I told them that they should tear down that disclaimer because they were obviously profiteering with their gaming channel and their t-shirts. I got like a hundred negative replies from TFS fanboys and surprisingly I got a hate fueled reply from I think it was Kaiserneko (the gay one). It was odd because TFS never freaking replies to youtube comments since they get a million of them. I must have pressed a button. Anyway after I said this they stopped claiming that their show was non-profit.

Seems like for the last ~20 episodes the humor has been more "look how silly this character is" rather than "framing, set up, punchline" style joke. Also there's been a lot less subversion of expectations lately.

At this point it's stopped being a parody and more a straight dub. Everything with Mr. Satan right now feels like it's straight out of the actual series. They're trying to make a joke out of what was already a joke, which just feels stale.

I'll admit, the Kenshiro one was good, and I did like the OPM one, even if it was pretty much exactly as you'd expect.

It bothers me because they're writing seems to be going down, while they are clearly prioritizing T shirt ideas to make money over putting out a quality parody.

They want to make money? Fine. But make something funny first. Its the whole reason why people supported them in the first place.
>>
>>157142865
>make something funny first. Its the whole reason why people supported them in the first place.
Not really, most people like to throw money at "content creators"
>>
>>157142735

Seriously it just seems like instead of making jokes that catch on everyone is deciding what's going to be a meme just so they can sell shit.

You want to get patreon bucks so you can keep doing this shit? Fine. That's one thing. Entertainment is a viable service. But this is bullshit. You're charging people for the chance to charge them
>>
>>157142887
Yeah, that is a problem. People stop expecting quality and if their audience doesn't hold their feet to the fire, TFS is just gonna keep going downhill because the patreon money keeps flowing in regardless.

If I was part of their patreon, I would have pulled out since the majority of what they've been putting out lately is crap. This episode and the last, and the majority of their "Cell vs" series are shit.
>>
The main issue is that the main 'funny' characters are generally no longer absurd.
They literally need to be ridiculous caricatures of themselves. That is the joke.
>>
I thought something was off early on, didn't laugh at some of the jokes and I dislike Satan in this though I do enjoy his character in the Buu saga. This series is only good when you're binge watching or watching the best part of each episode though.
>>
>>157143090
The problem with Satan here is that they're playing him completely straight. Theres no joke here that the series itself didn't already do.
Its blatantly lazy on their part.
>>
>>157143090
>the best part of each episode though
Isn't the whole point of an abridged series to only show the key points and most best parts? Does someone need to make a Dragon Ball Abridged Abridged?

Better yet, call it Dragon Ball Re:Abridged to appeal to the audience.
>>
>>157143162
Now that you mention it, yeah. I fucking hated Satan when I was younger during this shit. Just wanted him to shut the fuck up.
>>157143191
Tbh I just watch people edit together the best scenes of cell if I ever want a laugh. He was pretty damn good in his first form, less on this 2nd, and he's a mix on his 3rd. At least for me. One of the best scenes is when he talks out of his ass.
>>
>>157143090
Honestly most of the cast are good voice actors but it's just a meme dub now it's not funny and they are just trying to make money while getting pissed at any criticism
>>
>>157143252
They've never been good with criticism, though
For example, they always got super butthurt when people joked about how long the wait between episodes were even way back in the day.
>>
>>157143162
>The problem with Satan here is that they're playing him completely straight.

They're playing the whole thing basically straight. This isn't a Dragon Ball parody it's Dragon Ball with the occasional joke or glib eye rolling bit of dialogue

Of course they've just gotten worse while their both the Quilty and time for each episode has also gotten worse.

But don't worry buy this shirt or watch our lets plays where we get pissed off a lot
>>
>>157143252
I would argue 1, maybe 2 are decent VAs. When most of them are just imitating what someone else sounds like, it just devalues what skill there might be.
>>
>>157135051
Eh, the joke of Goku being a wife beater gave me a chuckle
>>
>>157143428

Because it was an actual joke. Framing, Set up, punchline. It played off the audiences expectations to insinuate something horrible that was really just mostly innocent.

And even then they ran with it too long by having both Chich and Gohan comment on it when you just needed to boos from the crowd
>>
>>157143363
Thats what i see. It stopped from being a completely silly dragon ball parody to "what if we tweaked the characters a little towards humor and played the series straight?".

This reminds me of why I hated Satan in cell saga, he was really unbearable. His character really improved a lot in Buu saga though.
>>
>>157143575
Not just almost SSB level, he is higher. He has stamina problems like SSj3 but he's actually stronger.

There are 57 "chapters" so far to Multiverse. 28 of them are "specials" of some sort. TWENTY-EIGHT. Nearly half of it is filler. Actually, no, it's worse than filler; it's greatly extrapolated backstories that come out at random and break any sort of flow the comic had, while giving information that we either already knew, could easily guess, or are completely irrelevant to the story.

In addition, the obsession with Specials has somehow managed to neglect some of the more interesting possibilities presented, namely the Humanverse that managed to save the Earth without the help of any aliens. Let's not forget the fact that there are FIVE different, multi-chapter text fanfics that are linked to the story, that the authors assume you've read when they throw in characters like Hanasia (aka how to make Gine look like a good character by comparison) at the reader of the comic. Making things even BETTER, their fanfics have managed to ruin Vegito worse than even Super could manage.

There's your fucking DBM.

>>157143191
It still is shorter, but the problem is multifaceted. The Cell arc in particular drags because it was switched up so much and there's actually a complicated time travel nonsense going on, plus they're actually giving room to show the characters' development since they're finally getting it. Then you need to remember that these guys are now trying to keep a fucking company alive and everyone paid for their work, which means pandering and trying to pre-empt their hits as merch to bank on as much potential as possible. The gaming stuff is just dedicated consistent content from the group that gives them things to do and to entertain, and is hit or miss as all gaming shit is. (though the Memebois are by far the best thing out of it)

All this stuff thrown in means they pump the brakes on pure quality and more attention to other areas. Rewatching the whole Cell saga you almost can appreciate some of the jokes they've carried along, but it's still lost some of that initial charm now that it's become such an entrenched thing. Plus, I'm willing to give this episode a kind of a pass since the point of this part is that Goku is really just fuckin around to test Cell and so isn't going all out, much as he wants. Depending on how faithful they are to that, will see, but as is I can hope they've saved the best for last.

Well recently the actor of the villain of LazyTown had cancer.
And at the same time suddenly the "We are number one" (a song from Lazytown) started being insanely popular.
So more people knew about Lazy Town
And more people knew about cancer
So more people donated to his cause
And so a guy was literally cured of cancer by meme magic.

Allegedly, one of the Dragon Ball thread anons a few years back made a comment on a TFS abridged episode. This was back when they claimed that the show was non profit at the start of every single episode. He told them that they should tear down that disclaimer because they were obviously profiteering with their gaming channel and their t-shirts. He got like a hundred negative replies from TFS fanboys and surprisingly he got a hate fueled reply from I think it was Kaiserneko (the gay one). It was odd because TFS never freaking replies to youtube comments since they get a million of them. He must have pressed a button. Anyway after he said this they stopped claiming that their show was non-profit.

I've been pleasantly surprised by the recent turns. YGOTAS hit a downward slope once it was nothing but repeating character gags, and there really is only so much mileage to get out of the absurdity of the concept. At least, there's a valley of same-old same-old until you reach Millennium World. Luckily, Season 4 is so fucking retarded that it provides new levels of insanity to cover.

Though frankly, I'm sorta in it for the long haul for the major series. SAOA was astonishingly well done.

>>157146386
That much is lost in memory of time. Things change and then the new becomes the now and the old good-enough is suddenly so poor.
>>
>>157135051

Quality really took a dive after Freeza. It's morphed into a fan dub with a comedic bent. I laugh maybe 1-2 times per episode. Some things are clever but it's going way too slow, and now Mr. Satan is literally just the same Mr. Satan.

There are maybe one or two jokes also took them half a fucking decade to get from Namek blows up to Goku vs Cell. At this rate, it will be 10 years before the series is over, then they said they want to do Dragonball and Dragonball Super.

>SAOA was astonishingly well done.
SAOA understood the appeal SAO originally had and merely put effort into making characters and plot themes consistent, while still being a parody. It has plenty of material to work with. Helped by the people behind it actually knowing how MMOs and the cultures that form around them function, plus giving an actual fucking reason for the plot to happen.

"This is War" is a great song, too. Actually made the final fight pretty hype.
>>

>>157146595
It's a really fucking gray area, legally. The shirts are based off of their own creative content, which while centered on fair use of trademarked content, is still technically their own material that they can advertise. Legally, "Perfect University" has no links to DBZ aside from slight iconography.

Plus, if anything DBZA kept the fandom stoked and alive until the new movies came around, and it's hard to imagine they'd have as intense a Western reaction had DBZA not been there. Interesting case recently illustrates it well, actually:

A guy tweeted at Wendys asking how many retweets he'd need to earn free nuggets for a year. Wendys responded "18 million" and the guy took the challenge, using the publicity of it to raise money for an adoption charity, even appearing on fucking Ellen, because she held the existing record for most retweets on a single tweet. The guy managed to break the world record Ellen held, and Wendy's acknowledged that as a win and gave him his free nugs and $100K to the charity. Someone did the math and figured if the guy originally did get 18 mil tweets and only used the free nugs once a day on a small amount, the ultimate cost he'd rank was around $400, whereas the publicity from 18 million retweets was calculated at about $72K value, advertisement-wise. Considering the endorsement and the law, Toei/Funi really can't do anything about it and probably wouldn't want to.

It's not the shirts, it's the fact that they used Toei characters and toei footage, neither of which they have rights too to sell them.

>>
>>157146973

Their use of the characters and footage is transformative because it is a parody. The idea that you have that they are misusing fair use by making a profit off their transformed work is totally incorrect. Fair Use does not demand that the use of the IP in question be non-profit in any way, shape or form. Non-profit works are more likely to earn fair use protection, but it is not a requirement provided the use is sufficiently transformative in nature. There's a major recent example of this where an author published a novel that retold Gone With The Wind basically scene for scene from the slaves perspective, the copyright holders of the original tried to stop the book from being sold, and they got blown the fuck out and had to settle out of court or face a complete defeat on judgment which would have reduced their overall control of the IP.

Toei would be within their rights to go after Team Fourstar, but odds are pretty good that if the case went all the way rather than them just legally browbeating their way to a default judgement because the poor youtubers can't afford to play the long court game, they would lose that challenge. If they did lose, it would be devastating to the security of their copyright, which could cost them billions, where as any theoretical money they are losing by TFS selling shirts is peanuts. Its the same reasoning as to why Bungie made nice with Rooster Teeth back in the day instead of trying and almost certainly failing to shut them down: its not worth the risk because the law is not on their side, so keeping things ambiguous and acting like they have all the power is the smart move. TOEI is the one that is gaining by keeping things legally grey, not TFS.
>>
>>157144914

Wait, aren't most of the Team Fourstar guys Canadian? Shit talking American politics because their whole society is substantially more leftist than ours has been Canadian entertainment's bread and butter for 30 years.

>>157148626
The most outspoken one, Takahata101 is indeed Canadian, he's the one everyone in this thread is whining about for some reason.
>>
>>157146434

The movies are still all great. Except History of Trunks, which is basically like you said just a slightly comedic fan dub.

I do personally think the quality of the show stayed pretty high through to about the Cell vs Tien episode, but thats just like, my opinion man. That being said it absolutely started moving away from what it started as after Freeza was done.

It kind of ironically mirrors the actual DBZ in that way, doesn't it?
>>
>>157146420

Aren't they essentially just dancing on the same grey line that doujin artists do?

Lots of doujin artists release books and merchandise that featuring characters that don't belong to them and profit off the sales from it. While the intellectual property isn't their own, it's their own illustrations nonetheless that they're selling.
>>
>>157148896
TFS does not use original illustrations
>>
>using a 2009 fucking joke in the Episode

Only funny part was Tien and Vegeta and it isn't even knew. Just came when they were actually funny.

They need to wrap it the fuck up.
>>
>>157148896

Japanese domestic copyright law is very different than American/International copyright law, and Doujinshi products in particular enjoy special protections that other potential infringing uses of copywritten material do not.

The thing about TFS and other abridgers that is hard to define is that the thing that they make, the abridge itself, is absolutely 100% fair use, full stop, and then they make T-shirts based off the thing they made, NOT off the original. But the T-shirts sometimes include things which could be CONFUSED for the original rather than the thing they made, and that is legally relevant.

This is why its a grey area. Until a court rules on how it applies to the current strata of copyright laws, we can't know if TFS's shirts are crossing the line or not. And, as mentioned above, its actually on TOEI's best interest to not test that as all indicators are that they would lose, and losing would do a million times more damage to their profits than literally any amount of shirts TFS could ever hope to sell.

I often wonder if people who get mad that Youtube Celebrities make money selling T-shirts go around trying to get people who sell non-official NFL merchandise arrested, because those people are more blatantly and definitively breaking copyright law and profiting off it than Team Fourstar is.

So what happened with Buu ? Why is he gonna be replaced?

I think Cell is the last arc that they're doing.
>>
>>157149299

Good.

I can't even imagine how bad they would fuck up Buu.

This chapter was less funny because it's hard to make jokes in a fight heavy episode. They did what they could with what they had. Put in some Satan excuses jokes, Tien and Vegeta quarrel, a yamcha joke, a gohan calls goku dumb joke, A piccolo calls goku dumb joke.

It's mostly the same formula for all fight heavy chapters.

"Everyone's a critic"

I wonder if Super would have been so popular (In the West) if not Abriged. I mean DB was pretty much dead except for games until Abriged was born

Retard
>>
>>157149416
No.
>>
>>157149420
But it's the same with everything, characters become caricatures of themselves. I mean they can only make a joke once. They can stick with a style but given the sheer amount of episodes it's bound to lost originality.
>>
>>157149375

Ehhh, considering what they accomplished humor-wise during the Freeza battle and several of the Android battles (I laughed quite a bit during Vegeta vs 19, Vegeta vs 18, and Piccolo vs 17 (+ Cell)), I think you're reaching a bit. They should have been able to do more with this part.

The problem as I see it is that they devoted way too much of this episode's real estate to the Satan gimmick, which is basically just "Satan does what he did in the show, but we also cut away to the people of Earth agreeing with his bullshit in deadpan." Like, I get the gag, but it didn't work for me and since that was like a full third of the jokes it fell flat for me.

I'm hopeful things will improve as this fight plays out, it's probably got a good 8 episodes, one of which will certainly be double-length, to get all the way to and through Gohan's fight. Still, this was a poor start.
>>
>>157149720

It's pretty much a regular fan dub now, just with memes and smack talk added.
Characters are - with few exceptions - just exaggerated originals, plot is the same, there is no absurd, stupid fun. Also the pacing is just abysmal, Both saiyan saga and Frieza saga took 32 episodes, while cell saga alone is already 28 episodes long and counting. For fuck's sake, their last two videos covered only four anime episodes. Abridged my ass.
>>
>>157149720
That's the problem. Satan's already a gag character, you can't parody a gag character within the gag character. Meanwhile 16 has been a consistent parody that works. They could have cut out a bunch of satan and added more 16 sperging out over goku and it would have carried better.
>>
>>157146420
SAOA suffers similar issues of DBZA in terms of just being the same story but trying to plug up the plot holes.

Feels like only Asuna/the Nerve Gear was improved by the writing significantly (I'm aware the Nerve Gear is a huge fucking mess and needs several holes plugged). Kirito going from empty husk to asshole with an annoying voice is like a 1/10 becoming a 3/10. It's an improvement but Kirito still sucks dick. Not like the other harem members got better. Even Kayaba/Heathcliff is just movie refs dude that plugs the plotholes.

Oh, so they actually did an Alpha Sapphire run? I watched their Soul Silver run, it was alright, didn't catch any jankiness. That was stupid of them though, they probably put some worthless move on a pokemon for entertainment value.

That is what is probably more sad though, the whole reason for a gaming channel is that the game itself is entertaining, not just the people that are playing it.

>>157146420
You sure about Season 4 being ridiculous enough to stay fresh? Because the last episode was just dull, even for my standards. Probably a casualty of LK falling into depression and deciding to treat Yami's seasonal "character arc" way too seriously, when he should've been treating it with the same level of disrespect as "Evil things are Evil because I lived on a deserted island".

Eh, not really. Cell was notably played much more straight than Frieza in terms of the dramatic aspects of the arc. That in itself makes the comedy bits much more tied to the inherently lighter moments of the arc, which in itself stifles creativity.

There are ten thousand people's lives on the line, and dropping. They're at risk of dying anyways if they're just left like that; trying to find a way to get them off is worth that risk. Especially since there are no doubt unused helmets they could experiment on.
>>
>>157155974
You never answered the question.
What politician will destroy their career over this?
And what if there is no recourse?
They can't test connecting to the SAO server to test the trigger anyways.

I have enjoyed this show and I thought it was amazing during namek but the pacing feels off now. It's going too slow, man. I'm still going to watch it though.

That anon up there somewhere is right. You need these episodes in quicker succession or more material so you don't forget what you love about it and are more willing to look past short comings. Also you might expect more when it takes them 4 months to upload because of all the effort they put into it. Which is also why tv does it the same way.

>Okay parents, who is going to let us experiment on your comatose kid? If we fail, they die.

And then there's the other option of yanking kids from the hospital which would be easily noticed. You'd have to find someone who has absolutely 0 friends and family to not be noticed doing this. Even if you did find these people, your sample size would be rather small. There's a reason why new drugs and such take YEARS and YEARS before it's approved for human consumption.

There are lots of things wrong with SAO. You could talk about how lag is never a factor in the show. You could talk about how it was even possible to move the victims to the hospital without breaking connection at all. You could talk about how every nervegear and the game servers ran perfectly for years without a hitch. You could even talk about how after the SAO incident there wasn't a huge bonfire or some shit of nervegear. However, I don't think this is one of them.

Anyone know who added the homophobic Canadian and all those 3DPD Pope images to Hellsing Abridged 6?
>>
>>157157725
You know, there's more people than just kids who would be buying a VRMMO. Could be that a couple of them are people who live alone without fanily, or adults who sold their bodies to science.

And again, there's nothing stopping them from tinkering with leftover helmets.
>>
>>157158013
That part was great because they were unironicaly correct about how shit the current Pope is, though I doubt they actually think that.
>>
>>157140091
would shooting Kamehameha outta his feet count? he also did that wind punch thing to ringout chichi, also he did the meteor combo that's an original move right?
>>
>>157158171
I already gave you an argument for this. Please read. If anyone has any family or friends, they'd notice them getting yanked. The backfire would be huge. Now for the people who are TOTALLY off the radar, you'd have to investigate nearly EVERY victim (of which there are thousands of) individually which would take a huge amount of time.

So now that you're done investigating thousands of people to get a tiny sample size, we can then try to reverse engineer an extremely complicated piece of miracle science that's probably rigged to the brim with deadman triggers with no margin for error. Like I said, there are a ton of things wrong with SAO, but you're really barking up the wrong tree here. You should give this up.
>>

Personally, I didn't like that joke because it was treating stuff he was actually formally taught the same as moves he too from someone else after seeing them.

>>157150153
Cell also isn't very popular in Japan. In a popularity poll don't during the early 00s, he barely beat Yamcha and Tenshinhan and was nowhere close to the top 10. During the 90s, Freeza still was in the top 10 during the Buu Saga, while Cell was nowhere to be seen.

I think they nailed Cell tho.
I really dig the idea of Cell being a smug sarcastic asshole that pretends his is part of the gang just because he shares some DNA with them.
Maybe it's just because i only ever read the manga for DBZ but i remember Cell as a character was fucking awesome and hype as shit when he was first introduced in his first form.
And after that he just become boring.
Perfect Cell is by far the worst of the big 3 villains in my opinion.

If Freeza was the most powerful being in the universe (pre all the retconning with buu, beerus and his father) why did he even bother with business? If nobody can even come close to opposing you in terms of physical power why not just take everything by force? It certainly wouldn't be because he was morals.

>>
>>157166930
Rule by pure force. Take everything you want with threats of killing not only anyone who defies you by their entire species as well.

Just seems like a waste of time to conquer one planet which has no meas to oppose you, just so you can sell it to another planet that also has no means to oppose you in exchange for resources you could have just demanded they give you for free.
>>
>>157167092
Toriyama tends not to really bother with the smaller details. The fundamental issue is that Freezer wasn't even conceived when this whole "space pirate" concept originally popped up. Initially, the Saiyans were the space pirates. They wipe out all life on a planet then sell it to the highest bidder. But then it turned out that Vegeta had a boss. And then it turned out that Vegeta's boss was literally the most powerful being in the living realm, below the gods and demons. But the fact that Vegeta was a space pirate didn't change, and if he's working for someone else, then that person must also be a space pirate.

Planet Vegeta's end was also a load of hoshposh. Originally, the planet was wiped out by a gigantic meteorite, or so said King Kai. But then it turned out that Freezer was the one who did it. First off, the average Saiyan should be easily strong enough to destroy a celestial body or two, so the idea of a meteor destroying their body is ludicrous. Second, there is no way that King Kai would be unaware of the fact the Freezer was the one who destroyed Planet Vegeta.

During Goku vs Freeza, the action had a comedic undertone, because Goku's dense attitude and sense of justice were constantly irritating Freeza. What do we have for the most recent episode?

Isn't the whole point of an Abridged series kinda to be an "abridging" of the series up to a certain point? It's not supposed to just be nothing but "lol jokes", but it's supposed to be(/has become) a comedic abbreviation of the source material. Not that I think anybody is using them these days to "catch up" to where they left off in a series, but I think it's important to keep the story in an abridged series, otherwise you're just trying to do something completely different but using someone elses animation.

Am I the only one bothered by the editing in recent episodes? Mainly when it's really apparent they've redrawn eyes or mouths to suit their needs. It really takes me out of it when it's so apparent and glaring. I dunno why it bugs me so much but it just sticks out like a sore thumb.

Well it was either Trump or no one. People (Outside the far left, like Hollywood and Twitter/Tumblr) hated Hillary and third parties never get into office.

Though I do wonder what would have happened if no one did make it into office. And there was no way to settle it since no one was really suited this past election (Considering the candidates included a weed smoker, a hotel entrepreneur, a woman with a shit ton of scandals and a dead ape meme).

>>157174011
Honestly, I do get a few laughs out of them still (not sure how that speaks to my taste in humor), however, it's getting tiresome when half their jokes are either memes or variants of the same joke repeated within the span of a minute from each other.

But as you said, by this point, the source material was becoming shit too. And not even Kai could save it from falling into that trap.

It'll create an actual data point for people who actually care but don't have confidence in any candidate, rather than being lumped in with pot smokers and blacks who can't be bothered to vote in the first place.

We need ranked voting and a reformed electoral college too. Because I live in California there's practically zero reason for me to vote for a president if it's not democrat.
>>
>>157177053
Rules btw are:
only episodes, movies and specials count

Time taken up by the disclaimer, opening, outro and by endcars are not counted. I took the time to mark them in every video and subtract them from the total runtime. It's is quite a difference.

shitty singing parts are also discarded.
>>
>>157177232
The entire point of the Electoral College was to let the States decide.
>>
>>157175162
From what I hear, Toei told them not to air it. Good on their part.
>>
>>157177438
And reform wouldn't change that.
In fact a weighted system where states award votes in proportion to the people's wishes would make every state, every vote more relevant. A state with 20 votes that was split 60/40 wouldn't have all 20 go to one side it would have 12 go to one and 8 go to the other.
>>
>>157178742
And that's a terrible idea. It takes power away from the states.
>>
>>157178960
It gives more power to the states.
California is mostly red except for the big cities, the bastion of liberalism. Many states are like this, most of the state is red, but the cities go blue. The current system takes power from the states.
>>
>>157179235
It's literally the opposite.
Your system just gives more power to the cities because now they are always guaranteed value and can never be overruled by the rest of the state.

>>157179621
WRONG
A direct vote would cut out the states entirely.

>>157178960
This is something I don't get. Why do you want power to be given to the states and not the people residing in them?
>>
>>157180072
that was so gross. I get using songs you like in your work, which is why they all use shitty wrestling songs and references, but still
>>
>>157180375
Wrong. By awarding electoral points proportionally you take power away from the states and thus concentrate power into the cities and population centers.

>>157180743
Because by taking power away from the states, you actually take power away from the people within that state to govern themselves, forcing . States rights and what not were meant to keep power from an all encompassing federal government(The founding fathers are probably rolling in their graves by what has been done to this country in the last 50 or so years).
Furthermore, the Electoral system was created to keep power from becoming to concentrated into population centers and to balance power between densely populated cities and more sparsely populated rural areas.

I thought the episode where Trunks tried to blow up both the androids was pretty funny, but his line "That's impossible! That was my strongest blast!" was taken almost word-for-word out of the anime. Like others have said, it became what it was parodying and is now basically a dub of a dub.

THIS

Pretty much this.

They just make the characters into themselves. Fanfic versions of themselves, but never the less.

The reason the Broly movie worked so well was because normal Broly was sassy Michael Cera and LSS Broly was super gay for Trunks.

But 18 and 17 are just themselves, Satan is just himself, 16 is just himself but with a silly love for birds.

Perfect Cell is alright and probably my favorite part of these episodes though.
>>
>>157184893
17 and 18 were the best parts of these episodes. Especially in the Trunks movie

>the Broly movie worked so well
>Perfect Cell is alright and probably my favorite part of these episodes though.
But your taste is clearly shit.
>>
>>157156448
This. I continue to enjoy YGOTAS more than DBZA just because it's so unique in its writing, and it really is an *abridged* series. It's nice that there are only small references to the original and the characters have somewhat, but not completely, different personalities.
>>
>>157149365
If they play Vegeta's "Goku, you are the best" speech completely straight, or recreate it entirely, I won't even be mad.

>Hating perfection

I'll admit he was a kinda lame in this one and those vs cell shorts were dumb as fuck but his trashing of vegeta and trunks was great.

I do agree that the androids were great though.

But I do wish they did something different with Satan. Because even if I don't mind the characters as they are it feels lazy to be essentially using the same characters from the actual anime.
>>
>>157170520

Yet here you are, on /a/, watching anime, particularly a shonen anime like Dragon Ball.

>>157185161
Not that guy but the banter between 17, 18, and 16 was great. It was like the adventures of 2 teenagers and their autistic manbabby friend that likes birds.

>But I do wish they did something different with Satan. Because even if I don't mind the characters as they are it feels lazy to be essentially using the same characters from the actual anime.
Making him even sillier just for the sake of being completely different would just come off too dumb. He's already a joke so building around him is the better option, like they did with the riot scene or the "that makes sense". I mean they could always go full NISA and meme it up 10000% with no care for any semblance of comedic sense or writing, and I'm sure people would eat that shit up, but I'm hoping they don't.

I don't remember the part of the anime where Cell and Goku were gay to each other.

>I-it's too randumb!

Like it always fucking was? Jesus christ guys go rewatch the Saiyan saga, it was both, half what mostly happens on the anime(with alterations like muffin button and shit) and the other half are popculture references + hyperboles of the character personalities, it's the same shit, you must likely just got burn out of it, which is completely acceptable and nothing to worry about.
>>
>>157145587
the icp one was terrible. what year is this?

also the writing in these sometimes tries way too hard to emulate whedon-style quipping and it's really bad. Better when it focuses on individual character acting.
>>
>>157187429
their later hellsing ones have been worse for the same reason. My favourite TFS gag is that bit in Hellsing Abridged where Jan delivers his monologue then bursts into flames, cause it's this perfect mix of comedy and sincerity - it really just hyperbolizes the undertone of the source material to the point where it's funny, which is what these things do when they're actually good.
>>
>>157187541
"hey guy's how's your health plan" was pretty good too I guess. The point is that the increased reliance of reference humor and casual banter makes things a lot more cringey and a lot less funny.

Let's be real DBZ Abridged died as soon as trunks was introduced. He literally has no personality to abridge. You can tell they hate it because they really are not trying to write decent material anymore. Every single character now is a really exaggerated one dimensional version of themselves. Vegeta? He's super aargoant! Goku? He's super dumb! Master Roshi? Super degenerate! Bulma? Super Bitchy! on and on and so forth.
>>
>>157190242
Yep. Is it better if they just end it or drop it?

>>
>>157187337
The cell/goku dynamic is pretty much the best part of the episode after the goku beating chichi joke.

The reason the episode fell flat was because Mr. Satan sucked up so much screen time when he was already a self parody in the actual show. The actual non Satan screen time was overall good.

>>157186227
Hellsing Abridged is really stale because Alucard carried most of the jokes and they went though a part of the story where alucard isn't involved. The fact that they release one episode a year really makes that part bad.

My favorite Hellsing Abridged episode, which is actually my favorite Abridged thing period, is actually Episode 5, the first one where Alucard is entirely absent.

That said, I would agree that episodes 6 and 7 have been sub-par compared to the earlier parts. 7 ended on a really high note though, so I'm confident the show will return to form going forward.

>>
>>157190893
That actually makes sense now that I think about it, since there are no female Namekians. Seems logical that they'd all be gay. Still a pretty dumb way to incorporate it into the story.

>>157192224

>>
>>157192290
They're sentient and are clearly capable of love if you look at Piccolo's relationships. Dick is not the be all end all. I'm just saying it's a possibility.
Also was it ever confirmed that they don't have dicks, or is it just guessing based on King Piccolo vomiting an egg?
>>
>>157192224
Maybe Gohan's just a total stud by Namekian standards. PIccolo took a liking to him and Guru gave him a bigger powerup than Krillin. Yeah, Guru said that it was due to their "latent powers", but who knows if that was just an excuse for nepotism or not.
>>
>>157192410
Okay, what? Not that anon you replied to implied that since Namekians didn't have dicks and thus weren't inherently male or females, the term "gay" wouldn't really apply to them. Except for Dende.

Nobody's saying they can't love.
>>
>>157192224
Doesn't matter, Namekians are asexual in their own lore, they've even made jokes about it.
Point is, the Dende thing was weird, off-putting, and came out of nowhere.
It's only there because that one fag wanted more gays.
>>
>>157192224
Namekians are completely asexual
