Are abridged anime edits a sin or blessing?
>>288214586A blessing IF the writers are actually funny.
>>288214655>if
>>288214586Only if they take being a parody seriouslyThe weird thing they're doing with SAO abridged where they've switched from pure humor to trying to be a better story than SAO is kinda... I don't like it. For serious writing you should just make a new story. And honestly, it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth to interact with fan stuff that was made with spite for the source material rather than love.
>>288215131>For serious writing you should just make a new storythat defeats the whole point of a fix fic
>>288214586yugioh ab had some good bits from what i remember but in the later stages it started to fall in the same pitfall most abridged series fall into by taking it self way too serious. I feel most of the guys that write these parodies get too invested in their own fanversion of the story as time goes on
>>288215609I only saw the dragon ball one but that was the strong impression I got from how much Satan was removed from the buu arc
>zoomer anime youtuber: >:|>millennial anime youtuber: :OThey're garbage. Nothing made by a westerner is anime.
YGO Ab is good until ultra mega chicken
>>288214586Yugioh abridged was pretty good until the creator's husband (female) trooned out
>>288217793YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>288214586They'll all always be an inferior version of this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8sop56DBUs
>>288214586Used to think they were fun and creative, realize now it was a way for internet folk to get their foot in the door as big vojce actors and anime dub managers, just so they can pull the ladder up behind them for burgeoning actors, and use the abriged parody as a soapbox to lecture people on things and act like an authoritative source on the material.Team Four Star is literally the embodiment of this.
>>288218123I think some like littlekuriboh at the beginning did it becayse they wanted to have fun and only over time after they got more and more dependent on the internet and being an internet celebrity they tried to do the voice actor thing.Youtube as a whole was better when it was mostly hobbyist instead of people trying to earn money through the internet.
>>288214586Once they stop being funny and start trying to sell fanfiction it's over
>>288218123>>288219166I think these are fair and reasonable takes.
>>288214586Both? They were fun for a while, but almost all of them fell to pieces after a while. I think for a lot of them it's when they started pushing for making the abridged series their full time employment, became ecelebs that were completely dependent on patreon and con appearance fees since they didn't really own any of what they made and started to act possessive over the work and alter the stories to be their own fanfic >>288218123Weren't most of the dragon ball abridged people blacklisted?
>>288218123Dbza was funny till the frieza saga
>>288220949I think they got "blacklisted" in the sense Toei told Funi to stop working with them, or there was gonna be some serious shit, but it didn't stop Funi from hiring them for stuff like Xenoverse 2 for the dub, nor did it stop Gearbox for pulling some of the VAs on for Borderlands and stuff. Unspoken rule, AFAIK, but Funi basically ignored it.I actually looked up where most of the DBZA cast went in dubbing, but aside from a few games like the aforementioned Borderlands and that one bug island anime, nothing much, which surprises me for how in-bed they were with Funimation at times. I guess ending DBZA and trying to swap to a live-action Office-style series just really shot the relevance in the foot. Arguably for the better, but I'm a jaded 4chins poster.
>>288215152I know
>>288214586YGOTAS is, objectively, better than all the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime combined, even though it fell off a cliff around battle city. That is genuinely objectively nothing compared to how the anime fell off after the first DM series. I was still like 16 when GX first aired and even then I knew it was worthless garbage. And every series after that, including 5Ds (which maybe was a bit better than GX, as the sole exception) was still worse and exponentially worse (zeal/Arc-V = didn't watch btw), until the anime series got, presumably, flushed down the toilet.Like if you told me right now that I have to watch all of Yugioh post DM at 1x speed, or kill myself, I am killing myself.
>>288225410You should kill yourself anyway for being an ADHD riddled zoomer retard.
>>288226953>ADHD riddled zoomerHilariously impotent projecting, considering everything I said proves otherwise.>ADHDThis is you projecting because you watch anime sped up on the side monitor. I watch *slop* sped up because of my superior concentration skills which enable me to tell what's happening even at 3x speed. It has my full attention for the duration before I mercilessly execute it.>zoomerI was 16 when GX aired - I said explicitly in my post - and it aired on TV in 2006. You were like 5 when GX aired and it probably aired even later in your country (Mexico).>retardI don't have a particularly high IQ, only 120something, but that still puts me at ~40pts higher than you. I know people who have a Mensa tested IQ of almost 40 points higher than me so it makes me shudder to think how retarded you must be since to you I am basically an unreachable deity.
>>288227065You should be embarrassed by this post, but I don't think you have the capacity to feel shame.
>>288227686>y-you should be embarrassed by [a post that destroyed (You) on an anonymous board with whimsy and intellect demonstrated by the poster]Concession accepted.
>>288228194Ironic shitposting is still shitposting. Pretending to be an insufferable strawman still makes you a retard.
>>288228226>Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.Ah I see, I am talking to a bot, or I overestimated your IQ.Explain why the slop you and your fellow Gen Z Hispanics enjoy (YGO GX++) is supposed to be watchable for real human beings past the age of 10. You won't, because you can't.
>>288228276Sure, I'll humor you. I've only ever seen 5Ds and GX, but two decent battle shonen with actual character progression (and admittedly in a few instances regression) are better then a low quality, low effort, 2000s webseries where most of the jokes are stolen directly from Aqua Teen Hunger Force or are the same joke mocking the terrible 4Kids dub over and over again. The creator of which is deeply mentally ill and found it necessary to apologize for every joke he has ever made because the ogre he married wouldn't peg him otherwise. You'd only claim otherwise if you have deep-seated nostalgia for the 2000s web series or are a baiting, shitposting, knuckle-dragging retard. I think you are the latter.
>>288214586I know TFS only ever did one official dub for a ova Hells and apparently they were a pain to work with which is why they never did anymore. It's 2026 abridging just feels kinda dated and unfunny to me now, doesn't hit the same and I tried to watch the new Purpleeyeswtf and I was just like meh meanwhile my friend who I guess is still immature was saying how funny it is.
You guys ever seen the pre-internet con stuff? I know a lot of lost to time but some of are online.
>>288214586I liked them at first but the people making them changed and so have I.
>>288230398Purpleeyeswtf seems like he has stayed the same
>>288214586An absolute cancer
>>288220949>Both? They were fun for a while, but almost all of them fell to pieces after a while.If there's a universal constant it's that internet gag series always go to shit the second the creators make it their job instead of some fun pisstake. Look at what happened to Red vs Blue when they got in bed with Xbox.
>>288228427>two decent battle shonen with actual character progressionBegging the question.>>288228276>You won't, because you can't.Correct prediction.
