Recommend me a good abridged series

[GabeZhul]

Just as the title says.

For the record, I have already watched the basics (YuGiOh Abridged, DBZ Abridged, everything else from LittleKuriboh and TeamFourStar, CodeMENT) and a few others (Nullmetal Alchemist and Berserk Abridged comes to mind, though I probably watched snippets of some other series along the years I can't remember now.)

So, again: Please recommend me a good abridged series, or just discuss them in general if you want, I can pick up whether a series is worth watching from the crumbs.

SAO Abridged is a great series. It's only 6 episodes so far, but it's better then the actual series. Like, in every way. The VA is better then the actual dub, the story is more interesting, the characters have actual character, it's an all around better experience.

Yugi-Oh Abridged is a blast, and I didn't even like the original series.

 

[Dirkie]

Hellsing ultimate Abridged, look for it, that's all.

I take it you already seen the individual abridgers that make up TeamFourStar abridges series like Kaizer Lupin the Third, Lanipator Yu Yu Hakusho, Megami33 Sailor Moon and Masako Kampher etc?

Oh have you already watched Antfish and Ganxinba? Those two lend their voice in DBZ abridge from time to time.

Ganxinba https://www.youtube.com/user/GanXingba

There also HBI2K but I have a feeling you already seen his Berserk, Vision of Escaflon

Also have you seen the Death Note abridge by Team Dattebayo? Thier abridge version of Death Note was the best!
Sadly their channel is gone and they themselves had dissapear from the internet but their videos remain!

Oh yeah check out GordianThong Reign the Conqueror abridge https://www.youtube.com/user/GordianThong Kaiser had voice a couple of characters in it.

Lastly there's Adamwestlapdog for his LoZ: OoT and MM and Resident Evil 4 abridge-

Ok sure compared his work to the people above, his talent and joke are low tier but when comapred to the MANY B-Z rated abridgers out there, I would rank him rank 10 in the top 10 of great abridged series!

If you already seen Code MENT, then you probably have already seen None Piece, featuring Sean Connery made out of rubber, and Soul Whatever, which "connects" MENT and None together alongside that NullMetal and Danganropa cameos...

Other than that, there's Ultra Fast Pony (if you don't mind MLP:FiM) and Ninjabridge (if Yu-gi-oh! Abridged dubbed Naruto for shits and giggles), and Death Note Abridged from Team Dattebayo...

Its not actually an abridged series but you should look into the English dub of Ghost Stories. Its an anime that the voice actors were given a bare bones plot synopsis and told to go wild with it to make a generic horror/adventure anime sell. Its pretty easy to find a best of jokes reel on youtube if you wanna see if its your thing.

edit: Forgot to mention that it is pretty short too, only 20 half hour episodes so its pretty easy to finish.

Supernatural: The Abridged Animation.


You like Code Ment? You'll adore this series. Plus, it has the greatest crossover ever: The Winchesters must cleanse the ghost...of Nappa! 6 episodes so far, personal favourite is episode 4.

Pokemon Abridged was pretty great, and nobody seems to mention it. I highly recommend it.

[Sable Gear]

Pokemon 'Bridged, and if you've already seen Nullmetal Alchemist no doubt you've seen Faulerro's short Higurashi abridged as well, that was a gem.

 

[Chaosian]

I gotta throw in another vote for the official English dub of "Ghost Stories".


It's not an abridged series by any means, but it may as well be one...

 

[Risingblade]

Gundam Abridged was pretty amusing.

 

[Michael Tabbut]

Fate/Cero, a collaboration between YaroShien and Omni Beneficial

Spoiler: the first episode

Abridged+Vampire, abridging Rosario+Vampire's first season by the aforementioned YaroShien (no idea if he's doing the second season)

Spoiler: episode 6: when it got good

JJBATAS, Antfish's take on JoJo, he's done two series, one based off of the original Stardust Crusaders OVAs and currently doing Phantom Blood.

Spoiler: first episode of Phantom Blood abridged

Attack on titan abridged. Its amazing but there is only one so far and its been out for like over a year, we are waiting.

Throw in another vote for Sword Art Online abridged. It is really well made and only improves as time goes on.

I'd also recommend Abridgimon episode 2 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTHEo6990Nk]. Sure, it is an April Fools upload (TFS aren't going to make a series) but it still is a really nice one shot. It also references the abridging community for example TFS are the dark masters, Joe is Little Kuriboh and more. It pretty much has a lot on in jokes.

The Hellsing Abridged series by takahata is just utterly hilarious. I can't wait until Halloween.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Since you already mentioned watching the Abridged versions of Yu-Gi-Oh and Dragonball Z, I guess I'll recommend Vision of Escaflowne Abridged, which is not only genuinely funny, but pokes fun at some of the oddness of the show.

Attack on titan abridged. Its amazing but there is only one so far and its been out for like over a year, we are waiting.

Keep waiting, they are unfortunately unable to continue the series due to copywright infringements by the original creators. They came down on them and told them to stop. So, it's probably not going to continue, which sucks, but that's the current situation. This might change later of course, but I wouldn't hold my breath on it.

Oh really? Damn, that sucks, I had just heard the writer for it kept having other things getting in the way.
