well, one of the most popular things to do nowdays with series you like is make hilarious voice overs with thier footage.

so, i just figured it'd be nice to know what everyone thinks of such creations. as well as related disscussion.

this is also a prime place for placing links to various abriged series of just about any type you like and want to share.

here, i'll even do one. see? hilarious. (pre-emptive warning, it has lots of swearing in it)

-ergos, mmm...might as well pop a poll in here as well...i suppose....-

I may wind up being in the minority here. I don't like abridged series at all. If I want something funny, I'll watch a comedy. Taking something serious and turning it into a comedy by doing a fandub is just...not the kind of comedy that I like. At all.

I have a lot of trouble taking Yu Gi Oh seriously. At all. Or DBZ. Or... well, almost anything that I've ever seen an abridged version of, the original was something I couldn't take seriously.

Would Gurren Lagan abridged be possible? Could you possibly take that show less seriously than it takes itself?

Jesus, good to see that I'm not the only one that hates Abridged series. I hate them for the exact same reasons you do.

Naruto abridged series by Littlekuriboh. Naruto (Pre Shippuden) is very tongue in cheek anyway. If it were something like Elfen Lied, then yes, I would disagree, but a few select animes are fine to use in my opinion.

*to all those whom don't like them much* well, considering that i find such things to compliment the original work nicely, as if one likes it enough to put all that effort into dub-parodying it, then it must have been good enough for them to like it a lot, right?

I've tried a few series. Love TFS's Dragonball Z abridged and would love for them to do the original Dragonball when they're finished.
I also like Sword Art Online Abridged, for those of you who think an abridged version of a serious anime can't be funny, I would highly recommend checking this one out. SAO is of poor quality and takes itself way too seriously. I think that's why it makes a better abridged series than actual anime. Same with Hellsing Ultimate.

I've tried others. Also recomend EvAbridged for you Neon Genesis fans. Other than that though, everything else seems to be [censored]-tier... Even littlekoriboh's work... YGOTAS has it's moments, but overall is kinda bad... Don't even get me started on Naruto or any ot his other works.
I also kind of hate Code MENT.

To be fair a lot has changed in the last 4 years, so it might be a discussable topic again.

For example, has anyone here seen Team 4 Stars Attack on Titan abridged, or Sword Art Online abridged by Something Witty Entertainment?

Both of those left me in stitches.

I finally found it after a lot of searching, but I liked the AoT Abridged. Didn't they only do one episode before getting a DMCA for it? A shame, would have been a funny series. I do a pretty good impression of Jean's voice from it.

The only Abridged series I've watched have been the ones from TFS and a few takes on AoT when searching for their take on it. As of episode 5 of Hellsing Abridged, I think I'm further ahead in that than I am in the actual Ultimate series.

Not too keen on SAO since it doesn't sound like something I'd be in to, but maybe the Abridged series would be something to check out.
