    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
     
    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?
     
    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)
     
    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.
     
    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".

    I wish they would spend more time working on actual episodes rather than movie specials or starting other abridged series.
     
    ^ Yeah! They seem to have just started the Cell Saga many months ago.
     
    I really enjoy this thing. In so many ways, it's better then the dub, a lot of the voice acting is just as good or better.

    History of Trunks wasn't my favorite, he's one of the more straight man characters, there to line up jokes. I did enjoy the Android's banter and Bulma's trying to bone Gohan lines. I always love anytime Gohan hints at how much of a deadbeat dad Goku is. They said they're going to try and bump up production, so I'm looking forward to the Cell games.

    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.
