I lost it at the Steven Universe reference at the start of the ep.

Great stuff all around this ep. and was Trunks yelling ever since the last episode?

I did not Kiko-hou myself to death just so he can have Cyber Sex!"

Absolutely fantastic episode.

Cell humming the Faulconer Perfect Cell theme killed me.

Oh THAT'S what he was humming hah.
 
Great episode. Two minor things though was the "thwarting my plans" routine is overdone and the 18 + Krillin bits were laid on a little too thick.

I lost count of how many days I have been waiting for Gohan to release is pent up father issues. It will be glorious (made more glorious when Goku makes Gohan fight cell)

I really want to see Piccolo chew out Goku for being a terrible father for what he puts Gohan through during the Cell games.

I dunno, it's slightly better than how the actual series handled it, as in not really at all.

Plus, I do like one of 18's lines for some reason.
"If we get out of this alive, I am going to rock his 4 foot world."
 
So good. Sad to see 18 go. Her death is a necessary scrafice for the birth of Hercule.This wasn't the best episode they've done, but I think were finally getting to the meat of the Saga. Hopefully, at least.

Oh God, it didn't even cross my mind how TFS is gonna handle Hercule. I'm really curious now.

Hercule needs to be portrayed like he's Hulk Hogan.
Also 18 and Krillin are the best couple in anime IMO :3

Pff, 18 and Krillin suck (except for this TFS version which is pretty good). Gohan and Videl all the way.

That was a lot better than Episode 50. I know it'll take 10 episodes from here on out to finish this arc, but man I hope they have it worked out.

I hate their website. All these fucking ads make the player lag as hell.

Doesn't have to do anything with that. It's just that JW Player is absolutely terrible. I am unable to watch any video without constant buffering, independent of connection, browser or website.
Cinemassacre is using it too. Piece of shit.

I find it funny cause JW Player works well if you're watching porn, but for regular video content it lags pretty bad.

Also episode was fantastic, bit too long of a wait though imo.

Probably because, at least ime, most of the porn I've seen on it is shit teir sub 420p potato vision. That said, I'm not sure what other porn sites use it.

Great episode. Only a few quibbles.

Callbacks are great and TFS usually uses them well, but some of them were forced here. I enjoy the fact that 18 actually digs Krillin. Perfect Cell is going to be amazing.

The Final Flash and Vegeta's reaction when it utterly fails is what I'm looking forward to the most.

The cool thing about the Final Flash is that it DOESN'T utterly fail, which makes it unique as far as comeback shots go in Dragon Ball.

Funny thing is, I have no buffering issues watching on the TFS website on my iPad for some reason compared to my PC browser once the video's loaded and content starts actually streaming.

I use Linux Mint as my os, and Chrome was stuttering while Vivaldi browser (beta browser by the people who made Opera) played the video just fine in hd.

That whole episode was great. Loved Piccolo, Tien & Bulma's banter as well as 18 and 16's odd chemistry with Krillin added in.

yeah no a short joke that's fine

huh, this is a new feeling: pride in someone else. unfortunately it's overshadowed by ALL THIS UNYIELDING RAGE!

sometimes it's the delivery that counts and these were awesome.
 
The look and realization on Tien Bulma and Trunks' faces when they realized Krillin risked the world for robot sex had me dying.

And lol at Goku's Super Sayain song.

"NO DEAL!"

16's obsession with killing Goku is still funny. It's too bad that Abridged Bulma will probably have to de-program his obsession once she starts repairing him. Otherwise the Cell Games won't make any sense with Goku being right there.

On that note, 16 learning that Bulma removed his bomb is also going to be a hilarious scene, lol.

Omg, Goku's song in the beginning. The way he sings it...that was just amazing. Great episode.

Uuh, not necessarily. She might just add few lines of code to make him unable to take any action against Goku, but be unable to reprogram his existing wish to do so.

Then when he's just a head, he goes on a long anti-Goku rant and that makes Gohan flip when he recollects every single time his father has been a shit

Looks like all the DBZ Abridged videos are back on YouTube along with Episode 51.

Also notable, the videos now spell out "DragonBall Z Abridged" instead of "TFS Abridged", and there's now a "Suggested by Toei Animation JP" link in the doobly-doo of the latest episode. Not sure if it's in any other episodes.

Sooo... I'm guessing the strikes did come from Toei and that TFS and them hashed out a deal?

More than likely. Too big to ignore. Too big to completely shut down without backlash. So a forced compromise is reached.

Also, no Hellsing episode?!

All of the video were put back up on Christmas. Though Episode 51 going up on YouTube is new.

So I've started watching Yu-gi-oh Abridged, and I have to say, I think in some ways I enjoy it more than DBZA. I mean, yeah YGOA is far more amateurish, and doesn't have the production values of DBZA, but I find it a lot funnier. While DBZA parodies all the characters, they're still grounded with distinct personalities that convey the characters they're parodying. But with YGOA, everyone's a massive asshole, including (and especially) Yugi. It's sorta like It's Always Sunny in that aspect.

YGOA is the godfather of the genre. The OG. Always imitated, never duplicated.

Well, basically sometime in the Battle City arc it loses all steam and just becomes a self-parody.

The scene in Pegasus' mansion where they all sing Hooked on a Feeling makes it better than DBZA alone. Marik is the goat.
