Future Trunks was at least badass in his intro, can't deny that.

It also gave us the most badass non-Toonami trailer DBZ got:

But yeah, Trunks aside, I can't wait to see what's next. Be that more with Cell, Super Android #13, the Trunks Special, or whatever else feels good.

Either way, I'm always entertained.

When I think of DBZ parody, three things come to mind in my sea of foggy memories: Dragon Ball Z in a Nutshell (and now I feel old remembering that, lol), Dragon Ball Z Abridged, and Dragonzball P/PeePee (which may be the oddest of the three).

Abridged is my favorite.

I still laugh at "we need to go to someplace that's completely desolate and that would never be in real life at all and seriously it's a bajillion miles wide and it's nowhere to be found on Earth but it's right over there"

That was by far the most epic DBZ trailer. I remember everyone at my school was trying to figure out who Trunks was and where he came from.

We never got that trailer here in the UK. Trunks just kinda popped up one day and it was freaking amazing.

Newest episode breakdown reveal that 47 isn't coming out this month, and that History of Trunks is being did. Alright.

Hey, Kaiser, would you ever consider re-doing Season 1 of Abridged? You know, better video (Dragon Box), better audio, better jokes (no offense to you, but they're incredibly unfunny looking back), less Vegeta3986 in the voice cast, knock on Chaozu a bit more since he's the most useless fighter in the arc, and less Vegeta3986 in the writing department. I mean, I feel Season 1 is the weakest of them all, and I feel because you hadn't gotten your footing yet, and if you re-did it, it would be on par with the rest of the series.

Actually, we've thought about it. Biggest thing holding us back is mostly time. But god knows I'd love to do a remastered, re-written version of Episode 01 at the very least.

It's easy to talk bad about it now. but S1 blew every other abridged series out of the water at its time, I remember when people were begging for episode 2 and they posted a mockup of Vegeta taking the episode and throwing it into the air and we had to wait another month. And some of the guys I used to know way back when would go on and about about episode 3...episode 4...episode 5. TFS at what you call their worst, was still better than everyone else, and should probably be used as a template of what any new abridged series should aspire to be. To re do that season would be stepping on small beginnings, and would miss the point of seeing how far an abridged series can go.

I've always preferred Yugioh TAS, nothing against Kaiser and co. Although I do admit TFS rapidly improved, and the two are now more or less on par with each other.

To touch Season 1 of DBZA would be like what Lucas did to the Original Trilogy. Your movies were already gold was their a need to touch them?

Funny thing is, I got into the online DBZ fandom back in 1999 through Trunks, by way of Meri's site. Back then, there was a level of anticipation as to how he would be handled in the dub.

When it comes to editing skills, i think they already left Yugioh TAS behind.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Agreed. I think they also have a wider variety in their voices when portraying the characters. That's just me though. I haven't seen Yu-Gi-Oh TAS for a long while.

I always thought maybe one day we'd have Season 1 remastered. I'd guess if the ending of the Boo arc was reached, then Season 1 would probably be fixed before anything else...that or new projects I'd presume.

I don't particularly care about who has superior editing skills. I watch both to be entertained. I feel that YGOTAS is more entertaining.

I know what I'm about to say isn't related to DBZ Abridged, but one thing I would love to see make a return are FPS Let's Plays done by the team. I took the time to rewatch TFS Plays Serious Sam 3 and I loved it so much that I wish they would continue it some day. Saddens me they stopped shortly after getting the Minigun. As Lanipator demonstrates...

And who could forget the Headless Takas? Ah good times...

I thought LittleKuriboh did all the voices for YGOTAS himself.

I don`t remember where I saw this, but I think Kai Episode 1 was KINDA a way for them to make a higher quality version of season one, without doing the entire thing over again.
