DragonBall Z Abridged

My favorite part was the return of "Thwartin' my plans?". :3

Also Piccolo, Tenshinhan, and Bulma betting on who was gonna mess up first.

18 and Krillin interacting was sweet.

Even though I've since dropped SU (multiple reasons, but the biggest reason is it's got a release schedule comparable to Togashi's HxH and I just can't do "irregular release schedule" series anymore; props to those who have the patience for it.) I really do enjoy a Gokû musical number. The bouncing muffin was really cute.

I still wish Toei would make a character song for adult Gokû. All this time and he hasn't gotten one. Vegeta has 2!

Also also, really liking Perfect Cell's singing voice. Very nice.

What? Did you forget about Aitsu wa Son Gokuu?

Anyway...

I laughed a lot in this episode!

Piccolo, Tien and Bulma interactions made up for me, Vegeta and Cell too. Trunks voice acting felt a little off for me in contrast how great is Android 18 dub in this episode.

Oh you guys shouldn't had cut the scene of Android 18 being absorbed by Cell, that scene is great! Perfect Cell dub was awesome too, can't wait to have more of him in the next year!

Holy shit, what a hilariously awesome christmas present.

Thanks, TFS.

First I'd like to say Merry Christmas all! And thank you TFS for the Christmas present!

That was a fantastic episode, one of the best of the whole series IMO.
I've noticed your use of two Steven Universe songs in the episode, are any of you possibly fans of that series?

Also Cell's song was absolute perfection

The Aitsu wa song is nice, but I mean more like a character song where it's adult Gokû singing it, like how Vegeta sings the Cooking Hell and Saiyan Blood songs.

Which we won't.

What how can you not keep that. That's a gold mine joke right there. Yeah it wasn't in the manga but still. Finally hitting his best attack which the cast wonders why he doesn't use, and it doesn't work. The context alone is gold.

Another Taiyoken pic. Everyone did amazing job, but, I'm gonna miss Ms. Connors

It's been a while since I watched DBZA episode twice in row. Loved it! Especially seeing how sweet the interactions are between 18 and Krillin. Merry Christmas KaiserNeko and the whole TFS crew!

It failing-- ever-- never happens in the manga. We just think it plays unfairly against Kuririn. As such, we're not going to keep it.

Not even as an outtake like the one which ended this episode?

Amazing episode and I love that you guys put the whoops scene in. I'm sure most have thought "hey what if that happened".

Thank you! Same can be said for Vegeta's Final Flash against Cell Jr or Kaio knowing the Instantenous Movement. That kind of filler can only hurt the show, i dont know what was Toei thinking.

I like the lampshading of how the term "semi-perfect Cell" doesn't really make sense (is that an official term or a fan term BTW?)

Also the return of "Thwarting my plans", and Cell humming his theme song

That's yet another fan name. In japanese version, there is just Kanzentai ( Perfect) Cell and other forms don't have name, he's just Cell.

Great work here. Oddly enough, I think my favorite thing about this episode was the Krillin and 18 interactions. I say it's odd because it is one of my least favorite things about the Cell arc.

-Episode 51-

Okay when I started watching this episode, I wasn't expecting to hear Masako singing. The musicals caught me of guard, but seems like both Masako and Takata can pursue a music career, if their original plans someday go wrong. I liked it.

I also wasn't expecting the return of Vegeta's "What're you doing?". Only good surprises.
Piccolo and Tenshinhan betting who would screw up first was funny, but Bulma optimist was hilarious.

"Boy, don't make me come up there and be a parent" - Best line

-Top 10 Movies-

Its always cool when TFS takes a time to talk about the source material itself. DBcember was a good idea last year and it was cool to see it back this year.
The number one didn't suprise me. While I never do more than a top 5, seems like the time has come to do my top 10. Here's mine:

1 - Bardock-The Father of Goku / History of Trunks (After all these years, I still can't decide which one is better. Both are masterpieces)
2 - Bojack Unbound (Reason why this one doesn't take the gold, its because the other two just gave me too much feelings)
3 - Revival of F
4 - Battle of Gods
5 - Broly-The Legendary Super Saiyan
6 - Super Android 13
7 - World Strongest
8 - Wrath of the Dragon
9 - Dead Zone
10- Fusion Reborn

I really loved how you played this episode mostly straight. You kept a lot of the original moments in there, even if they were dumb decisions. It's a very emotional part of the series, and putting endless gags might have ruined that. Or at least made us hate the stupid decisions even more. But by focusing on everyone's state of mind, it almost helped rationalise the stupid parts of the plot.

Also, loved the musical numbers. Both of them. And all the usual callbacks and making fun of the original dub.

D'aww. You guys really reclaimed the Androids as characters, and the vibing between 18 and Krillin has always been needed.

And thank you for having Trunks be the one to scream "what the fuck is wrong with you people?!" at Krillin. He's snapping after seeing the Z fighters fuck up missed opportunities again and again, and the only fighter whose reaction wouldn't be a veiled version of "ewww, you did it for a girl?"

Fair enough, but I don't think it's unfair. Unfair is creating owned scenes that never happened to Krillin, which I'm pretty sure do exist. I don't see it as unfair since Cell is just a monster and it calls back perfectly to "Why don't you use your Kienzan" which the episodes lampshaded earlier.
