I'm not sure how that's possible, the first season is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, and I've never even watched DBZ. I feel excited for the rest of the series.
Dragonball Abridged starts off a little cringy, but the comedy and editing actually gets really good as they progress through the series. I think you guys will really like this.
It's not cringy, it just takes itself less seriously. This is very high quality for 2006. Yeah if you watch episode 60 and then go back and see this it sucks, but noone is judging it by that standard lol
Guys, listen carefully when Krillin talks, almost all of his lines are PURE gold. He's one of the top 5 funniest characters in the abridged series PERIOD on EVERYONE'S list. Also I love this. Please keep doing it lol.
The beginning is pretty funny in a way that relies heavily on knowledge of the original show and its dub, so they're good for it. The later parts are funny with or without that context.
DBZA in the start has early UA-cam humour in it. So its kinda cringy and more about individual punchlines, It can get old. They even said they are not proud of the beginning of the series. Good thing TFS grew so much in the years. In the Freeza Saga they discovered themselfs and the Cell Saga is the pinnacle of Abridged enternainment.
Tbh, the series itself became gradually very serious so abridged had to do the same thing, if they wanted to keep a cohesive plot. But they already said the lighter tone will return in the Buu saga, much like the original.
This is a great setup. Suraj for the explanation, everyone for the chill laughs. Now, hope we get at least 2-3 episodes per video since there's a lot and they're short.
DBZ's first run on cartoon network *did* have blood. A lot of blood. However, they changed Piccolo's blood to purple so the dismemberment scenes would be less graphic. Surprisingly, cartoon network allowed the intense violence to be kept intact, all while maintaining a TV-Y7-FV rating. The main stuff that was censored was Mr. Satan's name to Hercule, "HFIL" instead of Hell, and villains would say the word "destroy" instead of kill.
Me too :) It so funny how they make fun of Gokus trash parenting, but in recent manga-chapters Gohan does the same to his daughter. Goku abbonons Gohan to fight/train... Gohan abbandons his child for his work and Picolo takes care of her.😂
Normies, I need to stress that if you decide to do this WATCH THE WHOLE SERIES IN RELEASE ORDER as in watch the movies and specials TFS did in between episodes. They get referenced frequently
I wouldn't say DBZ abridged is the only well known abridged series considering most people who watch abridged shows know about LittleKuriboh, who was a pioneer in the abridging category and Yu Yu Hakusho abridged, which was popular in it's time. It's definitely the longest lasting abridged series and currently the best quality. It's basically it's own show now.
I totally agree with Mickey. Nothing against newer animation today but nothing beats how good old school hand drawn animation looked when it was done well.
@@Goomyx1492 It's not different except for the medium that is used. You can use a tablet and get the same look and feel as done with paper and a light table. It's just way easier/cheaper to use tablets. It's honestly just a preference for what you use.
@@meat2023 I have to disagree. They have a very different look to them. It's very obvious when compared. Maybe they don't look different to you but I, and to my knowledge many others, can certainly see the difference.
@@Goomyx1492 actually what you guys miss is cell animation not the art the stuff that was filmed on film with cameras and changing the drawings not on computers at all ...you know that tedious process...which took hours and was usually sent overseas to do cause in america we are lazy as fuck....cell animation is beautiful..but takes too many resources time and digital is just easier cheaper..but yes it looks way worse...obviously...
A Parody honors the medium it's sourcing, a Satire is meant to critique the source in a more negative manner. I believe the DBZ Abridged series by TFS is a Parody as it maintains the plot, just pokes fun at certain characters and action while still keeping true to the source material.
"yeah, I saw that, that was priceless HAHAHAHA, sorry for your loss" Busted out laughing. Love abridged, and it only gets better, but as far as this reaction, Nahid and Micki are very fun to watch, Serg is fine too... Can't wait for the next one. I love the older DBZ style, and that's sorta what we get to see in the TOP in Super, where Goku fights Caulifla, Kale, then Kefla, and you'll see more of that dbz style later in Super, but yeah most of super lack the character of the old style, regardless of it being rough around the edges, it certainly worked better most of the time imo.
I love how it started "I don't want them to do this to dbz" and the end up laughing so hard. And to the people that say it gets better over time it does. But even the beginning is pretty fucking funny
This is really awesome. You guys will love it. It's by the fans for the fans just keep in mind the first 10 -20 episodes are slow it gets better better though you won't regret it lots of laughs.
DBZ Abridged often pays huge homage to the original. It's funny, but they've still managed to maintain and even improve a lot of the epic and emotional story beats. Can't wait for you guys to reach the Frieza stuff, that's when the quality starts to sky-rocket!
Calvin from Blind Wave actually watched this DBZA before ever seeing Dragon Ball Z other than him catching one random scene of Cell sucking out the sports team. But it was fun watching him as he still had a lot of the same reactions that people had who watch DBZ for the first time.
I'm with you 100% on the animation Micky. I hate the crispness, 3d models, and extra shiny skin and hair you see these days. I love the gritty animation.
Awesome! DBZ abridged is a great parody that stays faithful to the plot while at the same time being hilarious. Can’t wait to watch it again with you guys.
Once you hit the Frieza Saga there's a great improvement in quality in terms of the audio mixing, editing, and overall humor. The Cell Saga is simply perfection and does the series proper justice.
So season 1 is classic youtube abridged. Season 2 is the peak of that. Season 3 is more like a comedy dub. The quality goes up each episode. Personally I think season 2 and the super andriod 13 movie were TFS funniest content
What an awesome ride it's going to be. For me, i saw Dragonbal first, because here in Germany it was very popular, so DBZ was a continuation that i saw right after i finished kid Gokus story, but especially from americans i hear all the time that DBZ was their first and often only contact with Dragonball, which makes me sad cause the original is soooo good and full of heart.
It's hilarious, there certainly IS a little hint of DBZA in DBS, in how some of the character's personalities evolved. Abridge took their personalities and exaggerated them in such a perfect way, and I'm certain some of that feel made it back into Super over time. Off the top of my head, in Super, there's a moment where one character suggests hanging out with Yamcha, and vegeta's response was so perfectly DBZA style sarcastic, there's no way that's a coincidence. lol
Yes finally! This is one of the first abridges that actually went somewhere in terms of clever writing and comedy Edit: The show really improves as it goes on
YES! YES! God Normies finally! I wish you had nrought more in on this cuz ill say even if you didnt like the orignal series or just never watched it you can still enjoy this. Ask Calvin from Blindwave. He has only seen this but can still give you a rough synopsis of ecents up to the end of Cell Saga.
Best reaction on DBz Abridged, guys. It was like watch it with friends! 😁 I'm glad you had fun, I love it too, also traditional animation is way better, I agree.
DBZ A is the best. As everyone is saying give it a little time if it doesn't blow you away right from the start. It gets to be an absolute masterpiece!
It starts off kinda basic but the more you go through the series you realize that some parts are actually written better than the original version whilst also being fucking hilarious. Have fun going through it!
I feel like abridged Goku’s voice is based on the Ocean dub’s high-pitched teen-like voice. That or it’s based on Goku’s high-pitch when he’s laid-back or Japanese voice.
Most anime is still hand drawn. It's merely the coloring that's done digitally. Animation is hand drawn for sure, even in Dragon Ball Super. The backgrounds and coloring are done digitally. The latest Broly movie was also mostly handdrawn with a few CGI scenes in there and with digitally drawn backgrounds and coloring. Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia, Dragon Ball Super, Naruto, Hunter X Hunter, Yu Yu Hakusho, Steins;Gate, Cowboy Bebop, Death Note, Gurren Lagaan, Fullmetal Alchemist etc. all hand drawn. There's a difference between art and animation as well. You're saying you're missing this kind of animation, while this animation is still around. It's the artstyle you're missing.
I'm gonna need you to close your eyes, now remember back to that moment when plankton finally stole the crabby patty......that's how I feel. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Just a heads up, this series starts to get amazing towards the end of season 1 and the start of season 2 and reaches its... perfection... in season 3. Gonna be honest here, I honestly enjoyed DBZA more than the actual DBZ, and that is saying something.
Season 1 of DBZA is a little rough, as it’s a product of like 2008-10, and KaiserNeko has said that he would redo all of season 1 if they got the chance. But the improvement from where it starts to where it is now is amazing. You’ll love it, guaranteed.

If they're laughing at these jokes then oh my can't wait for the rest of this series.
My thoughts exactly. The beginning is funny, but not nearly as well written as they get later down the line.
Lazarus
They’re exaggerating the laughs. It’s obvious.
The beginning is pretty funny in a way that relies heavily on knowledge of the original show and its dub, so they're good for it. The later parts are funny with or without that context.
