That was fantastic. :mrgreen: I really enjoyed the episode as a whole. I'll probably come back to re-watch it in the future.
-The use of the Tokusentai and Freeza songs were wonderful.
-Kuririn being the one getting slapped by Nail instead of Vegeta.
-Making use of that Vegeta nightmare Bulma had; I was wondering if it'd be used.
-All those sentai-esque shows Vegeta rattled off to Gohan to try to explain.
-The pseudo-cursing and the scouter bleeps.
-Making reference to Kuririn temporarily thinking Upa was a girl.
-The cut-a-way for when Vegeta kills Guldo.

The only thing missing was Goku; I liked checking in on him for a short scene during the episodes; he's really fun.

Oh god I pray I'm not the only one who got the "Za Warudo" joke :lol: That was priceless.

The Ginyu Force sounds different than I expected. Maybe that was the point, though.

Favorite parts:

- "F" ringtone
- Nail slapping Kuririn instead of Vegeta
- Vegeta mentioning various American sentai remakes
- Kuririn being unable to break the Dragon Ball
- "Why can't I feel my everything?"

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Amazing stuff as always guys. But one question. Upon my second (usually of many) viewing of this episode, the Kuririn getting slapped seams like the perfect place for the "Krillin Owned Count:xx" pop-up.

Come to think of it, I don't think it's been there in a while.

Was that joke dropped? Forgotten? :?

Sort of ironically, before the new episode came out, I was listening to the Big Bad Beetleborgs theme earlier and probably got it stuck in a couple people's head when I said it in chat. On that note: Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig Baaaad Beeetle Borgs!

Great episode. It wasn't as fall out of your chair funny as the last one, but there was just a consistent amount of funny and clever jokes.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

I got it I got it I got it I got it and it made me very happy! :D :D :D

Freeza's Ringtone FTW! :D

I like to think that Guldo used his time freeze to set up the Wheel of Death set. :D

The sound effect when Guldo had Gohan and Krillin in his Mind Freeze... sounds an awful lot like one that I made. XD. Granted, I made it by modifying a windows sound that reminded me of a DBZ sound, so it's probably just the one I based mine on. But the uncanny similarity makes me feel more important than I am, so nya. :D


Yesterday was so impossibly depressing that this episode single-handedly bought my sanity more time. :P

Yesterday was YGO Abridged. And today is TFS!!

This is episode was so amazing! Everyone else said what I had in mind! But Space Australian Jheese was the best thing ever!! But reading the YT comments, there were quite a number who were upset with this stereotype. But what they failed to see is he is a Space Australian. Not Earth Australian.

What gave you that idea?
The aforementioned con footage. The gang was asked if they got any crap for 'messing up their ships' because of how they portrayed the characters and apparently that's how Lani replied.

But hey, at least he said the peeps who rans the site were the nicest in the world. That counts for something!

I suppose I should listen to that. Where about is it? I'm sure I'll end up listening to the whole panel at some point, but a timecode on this little quip would be nice :).

It's great that they're so accepting of criticism. So many internet "celebrities" just assume anything negative anyone says is from a horrible person and is completely false.

It seemed to me that, at worst, they were just making a tongue-in-cheek little nip at the forum. Because let's face it, we ARE very sub-oriented here, and sometimes to a fault. And then there's some individuals who just have no sense of humor to begin with.

Plank in your own eye before the speck in your brother's, I say. If not, then at least just laugh it off then lighten up.

Wasn't sure if I wanted to listen, and I take a little bit of issue with repeating something off-the-cuff like this from a panel, but since it's being discussed (transcribed from the end of one video into the next, and cutting off before it heads off into different territory):
TeamFourStar Panel wrote:Q: Have you ever had any angry messages from anyone (...) the original DBZ series?

A: Oh god, I think that's called Daizenshuu EX? (mumbled) Don't defend them Kaiser!

(mumbled)

Are they? I know there are a few people on there that just... "How dare you take what I love and crap on it!"

(mumbled with audience)

There are some people who so -- only on the forums. The people who actually run the site are great. We've actually been on their podcast a few times. VegettoEX... those guys are awesome.
I do think the answer was a little disingenuous because I do see an overwhelming positive and appreciative response to every single episode in this thread, so I really don't know where that answer could have come from other than, like I've stated above, just being an off-the-cuff, fun-for-a-panel kind of thing.

I dunno. I'm a little protective of you all and don't want folks to get the wrong idea :). It's not like I haven't had disagreements (publicly in this very thread) with some of the technical and humorous things with the parody series, and it's not like some folks here have never said, "Oh, I didn't really find that funny..."

... but the answer given leads the attendee to think that the product is being shat on at any given opportunity (and perhaps solely for "purist reasons"), which just isn't the case. I'm a little sad that it was represented that way to people whom otherwise wouldn't think that in a million years.

But hey, we all say things.

Honest to God, we just... fucked up there. The entire thing wasn't meant to come out that way at all. Most of the team besides me doesn't even know anything about the forum; all they know is that there are a lot of sub fans here who hate the dub. Whatever was said up there wasn't appropriate and I'm sorry, at any point, that we bashed you guys. You've always, always been supportive of our show, and I don't approve of what we did at all. I'd openly take it back if I could.

It was the wrong thing to say and I didn't mean to paint a misleading picture about the forum here. I apologize, sincerely.

That's pretty much how I feel, although I worded it harsher because this kind of thing really disgusts me. I've seen plenty of people I found funny let it get to their ego and start assuming everything they make is great and dismissing all criticism and the people who make said criticism. I haven't watched an episode of Abridged in almost a year, but those comments still really got to me, especially considering there's so little hate for Abridged on this forum.

Edit: Whoops, new post. Was saying that in response to EX.
