Team Four Star (Dragon Ball Z abridged)
 
DBZA is a non-profit fan based parody series of Dragon Ball Z by Team Four Star. It follows the series plot and stays faithful to the show, all while generally being hilarious and having interesting characterizations. It is arguably the best way to watch DBZ and for the love of kami watch it if you haven't. (The first few episodes are rough. It gets really good around episode 7 and peaks during the Frieza saga)

So basically this is a discussion of the show. Favourite characters? Quotes? Scenes? Episodes? Anything really. Use your kaioken and go wild. (Kaio-wha?)

Some notable scenes:
My son, the planet, or me?
Quick, Zarbon, grab my balls!
Vegeta...I can fly
I AM THE HYPE
If this shit goes any further south we're going to hit space Mexico
I swear to god I will kick YOU in the dick

I'm not a massive Dragon Ball fan but I prefer the real show.

I absolutely love that show to bits. i don't remember where I stopped, but that show is hilariously funny, all the while staying true to the original anime.

Nappa is literally the best character in the Abridged version, haha.

On a side note, how much involvement does LittleKuriboh (the guy who made YGOTAS) have with this series?

Leviathan March 6th, 2015 10:58 AM

I love the TFS guys! I'm a big fan of the manga and some of the extended fight scenes in the anime, but Team Four Star's take on the series is so fun to watch. I enjoy watching anything involving Vegeta, especially the one part where his rage 'broke'. Good stuff. Their 'Kai' episodes are also brilliant.

I'd love to see them dub the Broly movies and /maybe/ the Buu Saga, but if they want to call it quits after the Cell saga, that's fine with me. Certainly raised the bar for parodies, alongside LK's Yugioh Abridged. Oh, and their Hellsing Abridge series is pretty epic too!

He voiced Frieza

And as a Frieza fan in the original series, he completely nailed the character. By far my favourite in the abrdiged series too, and LittleKuriboh is a big reason why.

On a side note I actually like how TFS captured Frieza's character much better than the original dub did. :lol (Although Kai Frieza is great and in character)

Sonata March 6th, 2015 1:28 PM

I much prefer TFS's version of the dragonball series over the official release.

Favorite characters would have to be Nappa, Frieza and Cell. Cell's introduction was fantastic.

Favorite quotes would be just about anything Nappa says, Krillen's space duck scenes, Mr popo is pretty great and the few episodes with Super Kami Guru were pretty great.

Upset that they've been putting off coming out with the next episode for so long, but their gaming stuff is pretty alright too, and I'm not doing any of the work so I can't complain.

Meadow March 6th, 2015 4:47 PM

I always found this song pretty hilarious, especially from 2:02 to 2:35 where Nappa and Vegeta have their own little duet. xD

I didn't think their Frozen parody was the worst either. It was actually pretty good for being a frozen parody.

Whoa, they made a Frozen parody too? This I've gotta see.

...Okay, after checking it out, it was disturbingly good, but not even in the way I expected it to be, haha.

History of Trunks just came out (finally). Have any of you watched it yet? What did you guys think about it?

I wasn't aware of that, but now it's definitely on my to-watch list.

WAIT, IT DID!?

*Runs to Youtube*

EDIT: Whelp, just watched it. It wasn't bad, especially considering what they had to work with (which is practically devoid of any campy or happy material at all). It had some pretty clever jokes, though ironically the one thing that got me more than anything else was "Dibs".

Alfieri March 20th, 2015 2:38 PM

It was alright. The ending was pretty funny.

Sonata March 20th, 2015 3:53 PM

The dibs part was about the best thing about the whole episode. Either that or everything between Gohan losing his arm and losing the rest of his body.

Alfieri March 20th, 2015 4:10 PM

I wish they would spend more time working on actual episodes rather than movie specials or starting other abridged series.

Loriania March 21st, 2015 10:28 AM

^ Yeah! They seem to have just started the Cell Saga many months ago.

I don't particularly mind. Attack on Titan abridged was hilarious, and I really enjoy their specials (mostly Bardock: Father of Goku, Episode of Bardock, and Lord Slug). I think the specials are fine, especially since they're following the timeline- I wouldn't say they're getting in the way of the main production.

On that note, if this is really in line with the chronology, Broly's next. I'm interested to see what they'll do with that one.

If they don't take advantage of the fact that Broly's got the dumbest motivation of any villain ever, I will rip my own hair out. They're usually good at pointing out stuff like that, though.

The Trunks Special was pretty good, honestly. I liked that they kept a few, but not too many, serious moments in it.

Uuuuuuuuuse iiiiiiit!

Spinosaurus March 21st, 2015 4:46 PM

Well worth the wait, I really enjoyed this one. Between Bulma being on fire, a very enjoyable Future Gohan and the amazing callbacks (who caught Vegeta's scream from this scene?) I think it's one of their best work yet.

The specials tends to have some of their best moments, History of Trunks included. I honestly look forwrad to specials more than your regular episode because they're more focused and complete. (Regular episodes just leave me wanting more, for better or worse.)

The Return of Cooler's Revenge had some of my favourite exchanges.

I was half expecting that link to take me to the compilation of the "Vegeta's Dick" joke.

This is better.

Loriania March 23rd, 2015 2:24 PM

Liked the Trunks Special. Agreed, the specials are good. Though I still want more Cell Saga.

machomuu May 14th, 2015 11:14 AM

New episode's up, and it's a pretty fun one. Lots of laughs this time around, and there was some really solid writing- not even in the way of comedy, it just has really solid writing that even manages to be chilling at points.

Oh, and freeze frame. I couldn't stop laughing.

Spinosaurus May 14th, 2015 1:17 PM

Yeah it speaks volume about how good the writing has gotten that the episode managed to be incredibly good without the series' usual jokes. Granted most of it is because of the lack of the usual gag characters, so I imagine the series is gonna hit with the jokes at full force when Super Vegeta arrives.

Quality episode and it really shows why TFS are a talented bunch. Android 16 was on POINT.
