TFS DragonBall Z Abridged

I love Cell's little crush on Goku :lol

Also how Gohan doesn't realize he's the strongest person in the room and is a little condescending as a result.

They actually made Goku seem like even more of an asshole, amazing. Goku truly is the main villain of Dragonball.
 
I think it's weak... for now. I feel like once you have Episode 59, 60 and so on, then the pacing will seem fine and the overall quality will improve since it's not what your left on.

If that makes sense.

It didn't help with how bad the post-episode ending was. It was a great spot to throw something GT in but they instead went back to the bug people with an incest joke.
 
"How many planets have you blown up?"
"None. How many Gokus have you beaten?

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
The D-team that drew weird sparkly eyes and had no idea how to draw the characters on model were getting PAID during the cell saga

I watched the DBZ Cell saga and the DB Piccolo Jr. saga for the first time at roughly the same time.

The difference in animation quality between the two was staggering when watching them back to back.

I thought the episode was great but I figured they'd cover the whole Goku vs Cell fight in a single episode, get Gohan's transformation out of the way on the next one and close up the saga on episode 60 with a 3 parter. Can't see that happening now as the next episode will probably be entirely dedicated to Goku and Cell again.

Yeah, they mentioned on the stream that there is a lot that happens in the Goku vs. Cell fight that people forget about because of Gohan, so the next episode or two will probably be the goku vs. Cell fight. It sounds like they're not gonna end the season with a 3-part episode 60, so we'll see.

They pretty much said on stream that because of changes in YouTube multiparters are less likely to happen in the future

Episode was decent. But I could really do without the innuendo.

Also, is it really "stealing" a technique if you were actually taught it?

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I Secretly hope that they release the next episode right after this one like they did last year since they were put behind schedule because of YouTube

Alright, guys, I'm probably stupid, but whats the "P.U." joke? Cell says he loves that Goku got that, but I'm missing what that's supposed to mean.

It means he stinks.

I thought of that pun too, but it really doesn't make sense in context, since wouldn't that mean Cell is making fun of himself? Self deprecation would be out of character for him.

If that's it, it's just a really badly placed pun.

They had a Tshirt of it ready when the episode went live so I thought it got a bit forced for that.

Cell's taking him to PU because he stinks. It's not a complicated pun at all.

Cell: "Neeerd!" (times four)"
Cell: "But speaking of academics...it's time to take you, Goku...to Perfect University...we'd say take you to school, but I think we're beyond the basics."
Goku: "Doesn't that make it P.U. ?"
Cell: "And we love that you got that"

Most university names are abbreviated to acronyms, so Perfect University becomes P.U.

The 'academic' part is the setup for it, though it's easy to miss. The academic in question being Gohan.


Speaking of which, the fact that at least 25% of Cell does not know, like Piccolo, to say Makankosapo and instead goes 'Cannon!', so now we know how much of Piccolo is in there.
Lots of callbacks to the earliest episodes of Abridged, is it because the ten year anniversary is coming up?
edit: oh right, the 'Perfect University' is itself a callback to Saiyan University that was used with Nappa. He had a minor in pain though. Can't quite make out what Cell is saying during his brief 'pattycake' moment though. Gimme a minute.
edit: it's "chickity China the Chinese chicken"... ehm, for some reason.
