Earlier, when Tenshinhan was talking about how death was meaningless because they had two sets of Dragon Balls and were literally waiting to be wished back, he commented on how it was literally Chaozu's second time, to which Chaozu said that if he died one more time, he got a free sundae.
Yeah, I know that. But why would he get a free sundae if he died one more time, and after he was revived, why did he say, "Still want that sundae, though. [...] I'll wait."

That's the one joke I didn't get.

Well, it's like those restaurants that offer you a free whatever if you patronize their business so many times. In this case it's "free sundae for your third visit to the afterlife."

Pure brilliance. I really don't know where you guys come up with this stuff. I watch it and think, what an amazing way to handle the story. I could never think of comedy so brilliant. At the end of the episode I was so compelled to stand up and just applaud. I didn't of course because I was sitting in my room alone and it would be crazy, but I was thinking it really hard! :D

I'm not going to name the Abridged series, but I saw the latest episode of another very popular one recently for the first time and I couldn't help but notice how unprofessional and sloppy it was edited. It was then that I realized how hard you must work on editing this series to make it look so clean. For that alone, I applaud you Kaiser.

I do have one thing though. What I loved about the very early episodes is that even when the shot was frozen on a characters face so they could talk, you could still tell that the screen was active. As in, you could still see the grain in the background moving. I've noticed now that when you freeze on a characters face so they can talk, it looks like you took one frame and just froze it. Kinda seems awkward to me. But I'm sure it takes a lot of what seems like unnecessary effort to keep the frame in motion. I was just curious about that.

Yeah, I'm not too fond of King Cold's voice. Sounds too much like one of the other characters... can't place who.
My favourite art style (and animation) outside Toriyama who worked on Dragon Ball: Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, Masaki Satō, Minoru Maeda, Takeo Ide, Hisashi Eguchi, Katsumi Aoshima, Tomekichi Takeuchi, Masahiro Shimanuki, Kazuya Hisada

At the very end, past the credits.

Another great "attention to detail" thing to mention - when Tenshinhan breaks Yamcha's leg (offscreen), Yamcha screams "My good leg!" Since Tien broke Yamcha's left leg in the 22nd Budokai, I guess that means he broke his right leg this time.

Though, since being wished back to life heals them as well, the broken leg may not have carried over when he came back (which means Yamcha freaked out over getting his cast wet for nothing - and note there wasn't a cast edited onto him in the final crowd scene).

Episode 30 Part III was awesome and I didn't even know TFS DBZ was set by ''Seasons'', huh, this is news to me.

Can't wait for Cell's arc but before there's still the Artificial Human's arc, meh.. Unless they end up also doing the filler arc Garlic Junior will take more time to get to the awesomeness.

If I had to guess, I imagine the Garlic Jr. arc will probably be one episode. It's so short, after all, they don't need to dedicate more than one episode to get through it. If anything, it'll probably be a longer episode, or even a two-parter.

Whenever I read this fanfic, I can never stop thinking of TFS actors doing these lines.

I kind of wish now that MasakoX had an even more powerful scream, well, here's hoping by Gohan SSJ2 (184) he'll improve a lot more!

I'm just hoping we'll have Masako deepen the voice somewhat as Gohan ages like with Colleen in Kai.

I'm pretty sure I saw Hujio somewhere in the credits. What was his role again? (Also, I'm assuming the "Corey" is the one who supplied the Dragonbox masters from our forum.)

I was wondering...could the scene with Mr. Popo and Shenlong eventually lead into a foreshadowing to the Evil Dragons stuff in a possible GT Abridged? :wink:

I wouldn't bet on it, since there's still a big, huge question mark as to whether or not they'll do the Buu saga.
