    Sean Schemmel was asked what does he think of Team Four Star. Sean doesn't like how TFS uses someone else's animation for their own business model. He stated that Toei and Funimation don't support it and told them to stop, they don't.
    2020 Edit: Well Team Four Star has announced that they're stopping Dragon Ball Z Abridged after 60 episodes and are now doing Parody Shorts. I wish them the best.

      I'll give them that they do encourage support of the official media, but I think the issue is probably that the TFS version is just better than the original, and while it wouldn't work without the original work having been made it still improves on it. It's the definitive version of DBZ

      And it’s ironic that in the past couple years teamfourstar has really grown as a company and blown up into a high status, successful financially company and all that, in part because of there connections made with Chris Sabat and funimation in Texas. Heck they even all moved to Texas and have a huge office close by funimation hq.

    I met Sean in person at an event in Toronto. I thought it was strange that his line up was exceedingly shorter than Christopher Sabbat’s. After listening to him give these two fans in front of me a pep talk on why to not do steroids it was my turn to meet him. It turns out he’s an extremely normal person.. which is perfectly fine, I shouldn’t have put him so high up in my expectations. We had a boring conversation about nothing and that was that. I grabbed a picture and went on my way disappointed. And then I met Christopher Sabbat after sitting in his huge line up. Oh my god was he the coolest person ever. He stole my phone from me and recorded a video of himself forcing me to scream as if I was transforming into a super Sayian, and then he joined in with me. Chris then asked about the woman with me being my wife and I replied that she was indeed. He then said in his Vegeta voice “as the prince of all sayians I now bless your marriage”. We talked even more about a couple different things and I left with my faith renewed. Incredible experience.

    Pros:
    - Admits Teamfourstar is talentated despite disagreements.
    - Legal contract to being Goku is also his personal loyalty because he loves the character as he is, which has some honor.
    - Asks fans to refrain rather than being disrespectful like telling them to "seriously just shut up about this" or "I'm annoyed of people asking me because I don't care."
    - Goes into detail so he gives legitimate reasoning and avoids assumptions.
    Cons (no pun intended):
    - Doesn't acknowledge (or perhaps know about in his defense) the opening of each episode giving credibility to every production studio and Akira Toriyama as well as Teamfourstar stating they're fans parodying the franchise.
    - Doesn't acknowledge longtime friend and co-worker Christopher Sabat (Vegeta/Piccolo) supports the franchise.
    - Doesn't acknowledge Kyle Hubert (Gohan) works with them. Although in his defense he may not know this.
    - Funimation was impressed by voice actors from Teamfourstar and hired them for dub characters, a major contradiction to his word on legal reasons when it comes to certain production studios.
    Conclusion: Sean Schemmel answered fairly and clearly has a desire to be faithful to the character's accuracy and legal circumstances, but lacks perspective in regards to Teamfourstar and how much they love Dragonball being a parody that's entertaining but overall respectful to the franchise.

      Then they could just fight the claim on the artwork, the characters, the trademarks, all of which they would win hands down as they have no been altered significantly enough. Then there is the obvious case that this never really went to court, as youtube would just pull it to cover their own ass nevermind fair use or not, they aren't ever going to risk making themselves liable for someone else's sake.

      The problem is that TFS completely supplants the original. It's funnier, self-aware, has a faster pace, and the plot itself is more streamlined.
      The "please support the original release" card at the beginning is completely dishonest. Why would I watch 10 episodes of the original each 25 minutes long, when I can watch 1 abridged episode and have a way better time?

Christopher sabat don’t have a problem with it, in fact he finds it entertaining. Sean needs to realise he’s only known just because he’s playing goku, if he was voicing anyone else no one would care as much about him
