I actually think thats a bad thing in some ways, because a lot of people today watch it and have no idea whats actually true about the series characters anymore. It plays its self-up to the point people see it as official or fact, and ignore the original characterizations now every time its referenced. Toei also doesnt like it, but people keep asking it to be referenced in the games and dubs now, don't get its not official.
@Y2Kooler fair. But I've seen dbz in its entirety. Right now, at this point. I prefer dbza. It feels more real and personal. It brings to light things we loved about bdz and also pokes fun at the obvious plot holes or gags. It shines a bright light on the these things that we noticed, pointed out, and laughed about with friends. Dbz is great and nostalgic, but it is far from a perfect show. Dbza may have started rough, but I enjoyed the journey and progress they made. In the end, what was made was a masterpiece. People are watching it in droves BECAUSE it's so good. Dbza did nothing wrong, the people that enjoy did nothing wrong either. Dbz is not losing anything. Both serve their own purpose. However, many people (like myself) that watched dbz on TV got more than enough. I watch namek saga countless times waiting for the new episodes to air. Trust me I've seen plenty of dbz. Dbza was a fun new fresh look into an iconic series we all love. The reason we love it so much, is because we love the original so much. Dbz purists really do confuse me at times. Perhaps they take it way to serious and don't appreciate their serious thing joked about. Met ppl like that. But I really don't get you folks
@@jamesvaldez5071 I disagree because DBZA doesn't serve a purpose for anything. Its memes exaggerate things but people don't get are not actual facts. Like when people debate on how much Krillin sucks, or how bad a father Goku is, or how good a father Vegeta is, to Piccolo being Gohan's real father.. etc stuff like that came from people who get that from DBZA, not the actual characters. Most of the memes just come from the abridged series, and the alleged list of the plot holes people think the series is littered with are usually from filler or people not understanding the characters.
so many of the old abridged series' have ended unfinished because of copyright strikes or the creator suffering from burnout, but Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged still keeps on going, LittleKuriboh is determined to abridge the whole series
Hello there! I'm actually one of the creators/editors/voice actors of the KPTS4TV Death Note Abridged Series! Thank you for the shout out! I'm humbled to know that our series left a positive impression on your childhood and am glad that it introduced you to the original anime for Death Note. We couldn't have finished the series without all our fans support and motivation. So thank you for being a loyal fan and helping to spread the word of the art form that is Abridged Series! Keep up the great work!
These abridged series really serve as a time capsule into a very specific era during UA-cam’s lifespan. There’s something nostalgic about these early 2000s animes, low quality videos, dated internet humor, it’s all so charming. I just couldn’t imagine abridged series thriving as well as they did before. Great video btw, I love the video essay type content. You’re a natural 🙏
The problem isn't just UA-cam, it's also the time commitment involved in making them. I remember seeing a lot of old ones die off after only a couple of episodes at most.
Another one worth checking out is Sword Art Online Abridged. Not okly is it funny and very well edited but they actually fixed a ton of problems the original had
Yugioh A, Death Note A, DBZA, Hellsing A…. Love it all. I never cared that everything wasn’t perfectly polished although you can argue Team Four Star got pretty damn close. It’s probably just my millennial showing, but I missed when things weren’t overly curated, censored, and created for the sole purpose of views and sponsorships… there was just so much authentically weird stuff out there and if younger kids think it’s cringe, I just think it’s too bad that they take everything so seriously. Not every joke lands or aged well but oh well that’s life. The things they come out with now will look silly to the next generation, none of us can escape the cynicism of our successors
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of these abridged series (2003 baby). But I love the concept and humor, and will have to check out the deathnote one. Nice job on this video Alex! I learned something new today
So sad that these Abridged Series started to die out because of how hostile the rights holders in Japan are over silly parody videos. I'd love to see abridged versions of more modern animes too.
Joyride Entertainment, Project Mouthwash, Schmuck Squad, MyToasterIsMoist, Abridgimation, Lord Daedryth and SomethingWittyEntertainment are pretty good, I think most of them are still active
I was obsessed with abridged shows as a teen (and I still avidly watch the stuff Something Witty Entertainment and The Schmuck Squad put out), especially DBZ Abridged and Code MENT. Code MENT basically replaced my love of the actual Code Geass.
Every time I hear a Lady Gaga song, I often think of the abridged parody adaptations of those songs. Everytime I hear Telephone, I think of Pharos Throne. Everytime I hear Bad Romance, I think of Leather Pants Everytime I hear of Poker Face, I think of Your Face (Legend of Zelda CDi YTPMV)
I remember first hearing about abridged series in 2008 when a couple of my friends would frequently quote _Naruto Abridged._ I watched it on summer vacation in 2010, and then found LK's _Naruto_ parody and of course, _Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged._ It was actually that series which inspired me to create an abridged series of my own in 2011. I stopped in 2014, but if I hadn't decided to try abridging and bought myself a microphone, I never would've gotten into making videos and wouldn't be doing UA-cam full time. It's sad that the days of new abridged series popping up all the time are gone, but I still look back fondly on the old days and how abridging helped me get to where I am now.
The UA-cam algorithm actually recommending me small/newer creators for once on topics I enjoy? Hallelujah! Seriously though, great video. I've always been a fan of Abridged series' and enjoy seeing people talk more about them.
Aside from Pokémon and yugioh growing up I did not watch anime until junior year of high school, during health class the guy sitting next to me said “check this out” and showed me an episode of code ment. code ment is not only responsible for my love of anime and manga, but to this day Code Geass stands as personal favorite anime. In short I can blame “I’m at soup” for it all.
Hellsing abridged by TFS is legit 10 Times better than the original show and fix a lot of problem the original had while still feels like the original show
@@timothymarzelli3874 both have good parts one is more serious (the original) and one throws all the seriousness out the window (hellsing ultimate abridged)
Awesome video! Brought back so many good memories. Since you didn't mention these two, I'd highly recommend these abridged series: Sword Art Online: The abridged story is so much better than the original story. So well made and I've rewatched it a few times already. Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works: Found this a few weeks ago and watched the lot. I feel like you need to have seen the show before to get some of the jokes, but it's so well made as well. Also, Hellsing abridged is great as well. Also finished, so you can watch the whole thing whenever you have time to kill :)
There's something about the more gorny shows being done this way, like Berserk and Gantz. Just something about the massive contrast between the horrible nightmare world the characters inhabit, and the tension being relieved by the goofiness. I think this is a thing I loved most about Ghostbusters, the duality of the horror-comedy. When life gives you nothing but grimdark, joking about it is the only ounce of power you have over it.
I was in middle school when UA-cam recommended me Yu-Gi-Oh abridged. I also remember the 'Abridging Wars" and several creators making parody diss tracks, when TeamFourStar was formed and began Dragon Ball Z Abrdiged. I remember seeing DBZ Abridged Episode 10 Part 3 got uploaded in the middle of the night in my timezone. I remember watching a lot of abridged series over the years. To name many of them: -Yu Gi Oh Abridged (Littlekuriboh) -Naruto Abridged (Masako X & Vegeta 3986) -Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged (Lanipator) -Death Note Abridged (Team Dattebayo) -Dragon Ball Z Abridged (TeamFourStar) -None Piece & Code Ment (PurpleEyesWTF) -Pokemon Bridged (1KidsEntertainment) -Prince and the Pussy, (Xcaliborg) -Infinite Ment (runawayturist) -Kampfer Abridged (Masako X) -Zero no Tsukaima Abridged (Neuman Productions) -The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time & Majora's Mask Abridged (adamwestslapdog) -Metal Gear Solid The Abridged Snakes & Sons of Abridgery (Lordquadros)
The whole quoting lines thing, I totally do as well.. Like, every time someone asks me what they should get for someone as a present, I can't help but say "give that bitch a cannon! Bitches love cannons", and if I'm lucky they will have seen the show and get the reference 😅
When the pandemic started i remember binge watching the entirety of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged and hot damn most of the episodes are still pretty funny even if the dated references/language show their age. I actually had to dig in the deep recesses of the internet to find all the episodes that were unavailable on LK's UA-cam channel but thankfully i managed to find the entire series
Honestly for years I thought sao, mirai nikki, and the two Highschool of the deads were my favorite abridged series but now I think the Goblin Slayer abridged is just my absolute #1 favorite, it takes such a dark show and still keeps some of the plot but makes it so hilarious, especially episode 2 and onwards just has so much work put into them, I would highly recommend it
I find it weird that MasakoX started with Naruto abridged cuz I first experienced him as Goku in Dbz abridged, and his youtube channel is dragon ball focused channel that does discussions and what-if stories
Having spent a lot of time in the Dragon Ball community when I was young, the impact Dragon Ball Z Abridged has had on that franchise and its fan base in particular is mind boggling. You can tell its influenced the fandom and the way the characters and story are perceived by them, and its even been referenced in modern Dragon Ball material.
I don't know if anyone else has said it but that log song is from a in show commercial from Ren and Stimpy and it is incredibly stupid and I love same with Powder Toast Man
one last thing there was a naruto abridged which actually had a pretty fun sakura in it the conversation started with kakashi asking sakura if her hair colour was naturle or if she dyed it and her responds was asking him if his hair colour was naturally grey or if he was just 80
@@ALIM0RI ye youtube is very much a buzz kill heck one of my personal favorite abridged serries which had a entire season plus a few more episodes of content got obliterated too even though i know the reason for that making pokemon references and having using some of the sound tracks of the anime its a very quick and easy way to get obliterated
Some not mentioned that are to me considered *CLASSICS* up with the well known DBZA/YGOTAS/CodeMENT/etc... Death Note Abridged by CharlestonVO is my fav version of Death Note Abridged. Light and L are too special. Little Kuriboh's take on Naruto Abridged. None Piece by PurpleEyesWTF. SAO Abridged by Something Witty Entertainment [SWE]. (Shaping up to be one of the higher quality abridged series along with DBZA) Fate Stay Night UBW by Project Mouthwash. Seven Deadly Shmucks by The Schmuck Squad. (Their "Hunter x Dumber" abridged of HxH is also pretty decent, wish it continued. Also, "Tokyo RaveMENT". AND "Akame ga Kill! Abridged!") One of my favorite lesser known ones: "Sicknasty and Lit" by Earl of Bassington + CharlestonVO. It's just 3 and a half minutes of weirdest shit that feels like it lasts for 7+ minutes.
Kakashi IS David Bowie! If it's still available, I recommend Mobile Suit Gundam Abridged. It's didn't complete the whole series but it's still great, while a group called OPMeat is doing Gundam Wing Abridged currently.
Fate/Stay Night UBW Abridged is a master piece and the funniest thing is that it's not erven that far of from the actual series. Check that one if you want "high production value". Same for SAO Abridged.
Many abridged series where now lost, deleted by youtube or any of the intellectual properties that are own to their copyright IPs and some quit making abridge series and abandons it. Some still continue on but youtube kept on striking down most videos due to copyright
Code Ment was definitely my favorite abridged series growing up. I quote it all the time and go back and watch the whole thing like once or twice a year Also, didn't hear you mention it, but Little Kuriboh did a Naruto abridged series too. The joke was that it was the abridged series of Naruto Abridged, so it pokes a lot of fun at Naruto Abridged. It's only like 7 episodes I think, plus a movie in 3 parts. I'd recommend it if you haven't seen it before
@@ALIM0RI ☺ Honestly, that is valid LOL I think the show is one of those you either love it or you hate it. It took me several tries to actually watch it. I don't blame you at all, I'm with you Lol 😄
@@piplup10203854 i went to the same college as the creator and everyone was obsessed with it so i think its more of IP burnout then "not liking it", but maybe one day i'll go back and appreciate it! I dont think its bad im just like over it LOL
@@ALIM0RI 😯 Oh?! That's cool though you went to the same college as the creator. Ah, 🤔 I see. I get that 🥹 yeah perhaps one day, who knows. I am with you, yeah I don't think it's bad. I wasn't obsessed with it but I caught it at a good time. Yeah I get that LOL I haven't watched it more than the one time though years ago so I get it
Hm... no mention of Evangelion Re:Death from the late 1990's? Granted Re:Death was sort of a "Proto" Abridged movie, and not a full abridged series as we know it proper, but it's still worth checking out.
God damn, my friendship/relationship with my first girlfriend in high school largely consisted of us quoting Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged at each other, and we even cosplayed as Marik and Bakura at cons because of it. Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged was also one I really liked when I was 14. I still associate the song Karate by Tenacious D with it to this day. Nowadays the only one I really still care for is Dragon Ball Z Abridged because I practically think of it as a legitimate take on Dragon Ball Z in its own right, and for the most part it does still hold up well.
The rosario vampire abridged was hilarious and two other abridged series that were both good but obscured was familiar of zero abridged and kampfer abridged
Because of TFS and Little Kuriboh I was actually inspired to make my own Death Note parody (Love Note: A Death Note Parody) and i firmly believe that DBZA and YGOTAS pulled the majority of the weight when it came to how my sense of humour developed LMAO. I discovered both in middle school and obsessively rewatched them over and over again, and I still semi regularly give them a rewatch lol. Abridging is talked about like a dying art form but it is very much still alive
It seems to be the case! I’ll have to look more into it. I think UA-cam isn’t pushing them, because I had a really hard time finding new ones when looking into it for the video.
@@ALIM0RI yeah, it's a real pain algorithm wise. I've made a few over on Abridgimation, and there's a few gems hidden under the rubble that is the youtube landscape like ZebraGroupFilms, Joyride Entertainment, The Schmuck Squad, MyToasterIsMoist, Tom Andre, CharlestonVO and many more starting out. Hopefully things start looking up though, cause there is a lot of room for this type of content to grow
there are plenty of other great abridged serries bleach S abridged, Fate unlimited blade works abridged sao abridged parody by something witty entertainment
@@ALIM0RI maybe I somehow completely missed it, I'll rewatch the video to be sure but I thought I only heard you say MasakoX when you said the creator of Naruto abridged.
As someone currently writing/directing for Black Clover (SS) Abridged, I have to say it's just not a viable medium anymore. With the long departure of DBZA, and SAOA uploading so much more infrequently mixed with the fact that we just haven't seen any abridged series meet the hype of either I don't see it going on for much longer. But I kinda like that though, feels like a neat little time capsule for a specific era of internet humor. Who knows, though. I would love to be proven wrong someday. In the mean time I'm just gonna keep working on my own stuff and see where things go.
Since I’ve been reading JJK. It seems like authors have added in lighthearted humor and comedy with their over the top characters. Gojo in particular stands out as his character is being a massive dick and trolling people. An Abridged version of Gojo that flanderizes him further would be too much.
dude you didnt know rosario was popular that was like the dirty anime to watch along to love ru every teenage boy loved that shit so much back then maybe some preferred shit like dears and sekirei but rosario was up there man
Honestly, Dragon Ball Z abridge is now more cannon to me than the actual series.
That’s so fair LOL
Same here, and I was watching (and fanboying over) the original DBZ as it was airing in my country since I was 10 yrs old mind you...
I actually think thats a bad thing in some ways, because a lot of people today watch it and have no idea whats actually true about the series characters anymore. It plays its self-up to the point people see it as official or fact, and ignore the original characterizations now every time its referenced. Toei also doesnt like it, but people keep asking it to be referenced in the games and dubs now, don't get its not official.
@Y2Kooler fair. But I've seen dbz in its entirety. Right now, at this point. I prefer dbza. It feels more real and personal. It brings to light things we loved about bdz and also pokes fun at the obvious plot holes or gags.

I just couldn’t imagine abridged series thriving as well as they did before.
Great video btw, I love the video essay type content. You’re a natural 🙏
Awe thank you!
I don’t think they would do nearly as well, just because the humor in them is SO dated. But I love them for what they are ❤️
I dunno. The sao abridged is solid and the creators are reaching a million.
The problem isn't just UA-cam, it's also the time commitment involved in making them. I remember seeing a lot of old ones die off after only a couple of episodes at most.
I like the meta of the abridge series that succeed are the ones that bring a unique view to the series or fix it someway. Usually both.
Yes!!

ohhh i def will ty for the rec!!
@@ALIM0RI Absolutely one of the most famous modern ones

@@lucygirl1111 that’s such a bummer 😭
@@ALIM0RI ye youtube is very much a buzz kill heck one of my personal favorite abridged serries which had a entire season plus a few more episodes of content got obliterated too even though i know the reason for that making pokemon references and having using some of the sound tracks of the anime its a very quick and easy way to get obliterated
Some not mentioned that are to me considered *CLASSICS* up with the well known DBZA/YGOTAS/CodeMENT/etc...
Death Note Abridged by CharlestonVO is my fav version of Death Note Abridged. Light and L are too special.
Little Kuriboh's take on Naruto Abridged.
None Piece by PurpleEyesWTF.
SAO Abridged by Something Witty Entertainment [SWE]. (Shaping up to be one of the higher quality abridged series along with DBZA)
Fate Stay Night UBW by Project Mouthwash.
Seven Deadly Shmucks by The Schmuck Squad. (Their "Hunter x Dumber" abridged of HxH is also pretty decent, wish it continued. Also, "Tokyo RaveMENT". AND "Akame ga Kill! Abridged!")
One of my favorite lesser known ones: "Sicknasty and Lit" by Earl of Bassington + CharlestonVO. It's just 3 and a half minutes of weirdest shit that feels like it lasts for 7+ minutes.
I think the combination of Masako, Vegeta, Lani, Takahata, and Little K really shaped my formative years of middle school.
Same tbh lol
16:45 THAT SONG IS FROM REN & STIMPY!
I’ve since found this out LOL
here is the thing about the clothes im at soup joke there is a actual clothing store called soup
I saw!!
LittleKuriboh and Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged was the first Abridged Series.
And he will also be the last.
LOL he def will be the last
Kakashi IS David Bowie!
If it's still available, I recommend Mobile Suit Gundam Abridged. It's didn't complete the whole series but it's still great, while a group called OPMeat is doing Gundam Wing Abridged currently.
Ohhh I’ll look into it!
I never forgot.
Fate/Stay Night UBW Abridged is a master piece and the funniest thing is that it's not erven that far of from the actual series.
Check that one if you want "high production value".
Same for SAO Abridged.
ill look into them!
Nobody can forget DBZA.
Many abridged series where now lost, deleted by youtube or any of the intellectual properties that are own to their copyright IPs and some quit making abridge series and abandons it. Some still continue on but youtube kept on striking down most videos due to copyright
Keep em comin, I love abridged!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too!
My first abridged series was familiar zero. Don't know how many people remember that
I’ve never seen it!
@@ALIM0RIThat's okay it's one of the more obscure abridge series
Slay
Code Ment was definitely my favorite abridged series growing up. I quote it all the time and go back and watch the whole thing like once or twice a year
Also, didn't hear you mention it, but Little Kuriboh did a Naruto abridged series too. The joke was that it was the abridged series of Naruto Abridged, so it pokes a lot of fun at Naruto Abridged. It's only like 7 episodes I think, plus a movie in 3 parts. I'd recommend it if you haven't seen it before
Yeahhh I wasn’t a huge fan of his naruto abridged! I just have so much nostalgia for the other one so I was busy gushing over it lol
Haha. Man, this takes me back! 😂😂
I wanna be taken back permanently 😭
I'm pretty sure the original log song came from Ren and Stimpy btw
I feel like that’s even crazier LOL
I love the Dragon Ball Z abridged series just recently and I loved it lol the steven universe reference or cell singing my way is absolutely gold lol
ugh i wish i liked steven universe LOL
@@ALIM0RI ☺ Honestly, that is valid LOL I think the show is one of those you either love it or you hate it. It took me several tries to actually watch it. I don't blame you at all, I'm with you Lol 😄
@@piplup10203854 i went to the same college as the creator and everyone was obsessed with it so i think its more of IP burnout then "not liking it", but maybe one day i'll go back and appreciate it! I dont think its bad im just like over it LOL
@@ALIM0RI 😯 Oh?! That's cool though you went to the same college as the creator. Ah, 🤔 I see. I get that 🥹 yeah perhaps one day, who knows. I am with you, yeah I don't think it's bad. I wasn't obsessed with it but I caught it at a good time. Yeah I get that LOL I haven't watched it more than the one time though years ago so I get it
I'm glad I met a fellow Abridged Series fan, Here have a sub you deserve it
Awe thanks so much!
@@ALIM0RI 😊😊
Hm... no mention of Evangelion Re:Death from the late 1990's? Granted Re:Death was sort of a "Proto" Abridged movie, and not a full abridged series as we know it proper, but it's still worth checking out.
I’ve never heard of it! I’ll watch it tho :3
God damn, my friendship/relationship with my first girlfriend in high school largely consisted of us quoting Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged at each other, and we even cosplayed as Marik and Bakura at cons because of it.
Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged was also one I really liked when I was 14. I still associate the song Karate by Tenacious D with it to this day.
Nowadays the only one I really still care for is Dragon Ball Z Abridged because I practically think of it as a legitimate take on Dragon Ball Z in its own right, and for the most part it does still hold up well.
It still holds up really well imo!
That being said if we get Yu-gi-oh! Duel terminal I’m gonna make an abridged out of that.
I always hate the fact that we can’t watch the anime legally easily but you can find an abridged series on UA-cam.
The rosario vampire abridged was hilarious and two other abridged series that were both good but obscured was familiar of zero abridged and kampfer abridged
Because of TFS and Little Kuriboh I was actually inspired to make my own Death Note parody (Love Note: A Death Note Parody) and i firmly believe that DBZA and YGOTAS pulled the majority of the weight when it came to how my sense of humour developed LMAO. I discovered both in middle school and obsessively rewatched them over and over again, and I still semi regularly give them a rewatch lol. Abridging is talked about like a dying art form but it is very much still alive
It’s def how my sense of humor was developed LOL
Kung Pow was actually the film that inspired Anime Abridged parody series
very underrated
Abridges are still super prevalent today, just not as popular unfortunately. There's a lot of solid stuff out there.
It seems to be the case! I’ll have to look more into it. I think UA-cam isn’t pushing them, because I had a really hard time finding new ones when looking into it for the video.
@@ALIM0RI yeah, it's a real pain algorithm wise. I've made a few over on Abridgimation, and there's a few gems hidden under the rubble that is the youtube landscape like ZebraGroupFilms, Joyride Entertainment, The Schmuck Squad, MyToasterIsMoist, Tom Andre, CharlestonVO and many more starting out. Hopefully things start looking up though, cause there is a lot of room for this type of content to grow
This was a good retrospective, ahh I miss those days. Subscribed! Do you have a community discord?
Tysm! Atm I don’t but when I do I’ll comment the link here!
I'm still waiting for MasakoX to do a third episode of Rosario+Vampire Abridged...
Keep waiting 😭😭😭
@@ALIM0RI Darn 😞😞😞
Yugioh gx abridged the goat of the abridged series
It’s so good 😭
Which one because there was another one that managed to do all of season 1 but the channel was deleted
Just wait until you look into the only actual official abridged anime... Ghost Stories [ENG Dub].
Ugh I love ghost stories LOL
there are plenty of other great abridged serries bleach S abridged, Fate unlimited blade works abridged sao abridged parody by something witty entertainment
I still remember them
Niceee!
@@ALIM0RI heh yea
Howdy~ school year is finally starting to settle down a bit and I have time to check out your new channel! Hope things are going ok :)
Awe thank you!!! I hope school is going well!!!!
Did you watch LittleKuriboh's Naruto abridged, it kind of made fun of Masako one. It's called "Ninjabridge"
I did watch that too! I just preferred masakos lol
Bro LK's Naurto abridged was amazing chain smoking naurto is cannon
I don’t think I’ve seen that one LOL
I miss the days when everyone made an abridged series before the dark times before the copyright strikes
Same 😭😭😭
Dang we really are just pretending Vegeta3986 wasn't making Naruto Abridged with Masako?
I thought I mentioned that? 🫣
@@ALIM0RI maybe I somehow completely missed it, I'll rewatch the video to be sure but I thought I only heard you say MasakoX when you said the creator of Naruto abridged.
Nice vid! Gained a sub!
Thank you so much!!
I agree, anime abridged is underrated, leaves you breathless in laughter
It does!
Yo! Alternate channel! Yay 😀
Yee!
We miss uuuuu 🥺🥺
i still watch the GAWBLIN slayer abriged
I’ll have to look that one up!
@@ALIM0RI goblin slayer abridged channel grimmjack
As someone currently writing/directing for Black Clover (SS) Abridged, I have to say it's just not a viable medium anymore. With the long departure of DBZA, and SAOA uploading so much more infrequently mixed with the fact that we just haven't seen any abridged series meet the hype of either I don't see it going on for much longer. But I kinda like that though, feels like a neat little time capsule for a specific era of internet humor. Who knows, though. I would love to be proven wrong someday. In the mean time I'm just gonna keep working on my own stuff and see where things go.
Def keep working!! I hope they become more popular again 😭
Since I’ve been reading JJK. It seems like authors have added in lighthearted humor and comedy with their over the top characters. Gojo in particular stands out as his character is being a massive dick and trolling people. An Abridged version of Gojo that flanderizes him further would be too much.
I would love to see it tbh LOL
dude you didnt know rosario was popular that was like the dirty anime to watch along to love ru every teenage boy loved that shit so much back then maybe some preferred shit like dears and sekirei but rosario was up there man
GO CHICKENS!
GO CHICKENS!
GO CHICKENS!
🍗
ENJOY UR CHICKEN
Free wasn’t in the 2000s tho it was the 2010s there’s a difference between eras
It wasn’t a big enough difference imo it’s still the same sense of humor
I like cat
Tyyy!
Not garra of the funk😂😂
Always garra of the funk 😂
I thought creators couldn’t say fuck within the first minute of the video
I’m not monetized baby
I didn't forgor
I’ll say this I hate Rosario vampire anime and manga is ten times better
I agree the manga is a lot better, I just like the anime for how outrageous it is lol
I suggest you watch some other version of Naruto abridged, 3rd Hokage is a roast master and a dick in one of them.
will do!!
