Dragon Ball Z: Abridged Episode 20 Review

Originally posted on October 30th, 2015

Conflating anime with wrestling is, unsurprisingly, an amazing decision.

“Namekimania 2011” is my favorite episode of Dragonball Z: Abridged, and it is my favorite for very good reasons: the episode is packed to the brim with great jokes, Team Four Star experiments with their approach to adaptation in it, and it even manages to find time to focus on the heroism and honor that are the crux of the source material.

In fact, “Namekimania” is so good that I could just list off all the great lines from the episode and end the review here. But I’m not gonna do that, because that’s no fun (though the strays are loaded with quotes this week because I have no self-control).

Let’s start with the key joke/device of this episode. “Namekimania 2011” has Team Four Star making the bold decision to reframe a somewhat inconsequential fight between Vegeta and Recoome (played by Ganxingba delightfully mimicking the staged charisma of a professional wrestler) as a live televised pro wrestling match.

And it works wonderfully, because Team Four Star commits fully to this device, incorporating an audience track of cheering and booing, having Jeice and Burter serve as announcers/commentators, and giving us “recaps” of what we’ve missed on the few times they cut away to other characters.

The “anime fight as pro wrestling” device also works extraordinarily well because it captures the ridiculousness of both of the mediums. Fights in anime are generally ridiculous affairs, with characters breaking the laws of physics and rules of the established universe very frequently, coupled with over the top blood, screams, and emotions. Wrestling similarly is over the top, with heroes and villains appearing as ridiculous caricatures, as well as allowing the wrestlers to clearly and blatantly disregard the rules in order to get an audience response.

When combined, the ridiculousness from both mediums complement each other, with the unreasonable action and caricatured fighters blending seamlessly, and it’s especially fun to see how the live commentary of Jeice and Burter serves to enhance the thrill of the fight itself.

“Namekimania” also finds time to embrace the hyperemotionalism of anime (its other extreme) in two scenes. The first is Gohan’s speech, as he walks slowly towards Recoome, broken and battered, that he is the son of Son Goku, the one man who can kick Recoome’s ass, and the second is the scene where Goku steps out of the spaceship, which pairs an 80’s rock song with a series of slow clips showing him gradually exiting the spaceship. With that scene, we know something is coming, and some serious shit is about to go down.

Rating: 5/5

Stray Observations

Recoome’s introduction speech is the greatest thing ever, and I will fight you if you say otherwise.

Gohan: “Who are you talking to?” Burter: “The audience.” Jeice: “We’re doin’ commentary, mate.”

Recoome: “Because the name’s Recoome. And it rhymes with doom. And you’re gonna be hurtin’, ALL…TOO…SOON!”

Recoome: “Silly Vegeta. The only thing Recoome sells, is merchandise!”

Spokesperson: “Spacey’s. It’s good food. In spaaace.”

Krillin: “Hey, Gohan, look! He picked Vegeta, like a…” Gohan: “Like a Vegetable, yeah.”

Krillin Owned: And we’re up to 12 with a lovely Recoome Kick.

Krillin: “Seems he threw my nervous system out of whack there. Can’t quite feel the pain. There it is. Owwwwww.”

I know abridged series take a lot of time to make, but if ganxingba made LOK abridged it would have been funny.

[fujoshibinite]

Please consider, this YouTube video was published by TeamFourStar on JULY 24 of this year, 2019. I love TeamFourStar because of their genius writing of comedic material. However, I personally find this distasteful. THE HAND GESTURE. This is the symbol of white supremacy which happens to be the common drive for mass shootings we've had this year in America (I no longer consider this country the United States). You see this gesture on screen of this episode at the 34-second mark. It only appears for less than a second, then it's gone and the episode proceeds with the comedy. No one is talking about this because, yes everything in this episode moves so fast you can't keep up. But out of (at this moment) 1,946,248 views, not one person is bothered by this??? When you write comedy, especially when it's offensive and dark, theres a time for it. Making a joke like this is NOT the time right now. I'm disappointed in you TeamFourStar. I do hope you make an apology statement soon for the mistake you've made.

hey so who allowed the morrowind main theme to go that hard. like i’ve never played the game but a questline mod i love in skyrim involves the nerevarine and the music was like... emanating from the dude so i looked it up. the skyrim theme doesn’t even come close

Converted from GanXingba's Nexus mod "Moon-and-Star". I personally loved this mod. You can meet the Nerevarine 🤎 He was a bit short for my liking because I pictured Indoril as this tall muscular handsome Chimer. (and yes I know. Nerevarine is Nerevar reincarnated.. but still) 😍😅

If you haven't played The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Spoiler alert. These are the weapons gifted to Indoril Nerevar and Almalexia, from Dwarf King Dumac. Said to be the pinnacle of Dwemeri craftsmanship and had unearthly fire enchantments. They are beautiful swords. If I had money. I'd get them commissioned to be made into actual weapons.

if you ask me. Almalexia didn't deserve him. 😖😭 I digress.. ENJOY!!

Dragonball Z: Abridged Episode 8 Review

Originally posted August 16th, 2015

Team Four Star finds their groove.

Season 1 of Dragonball Z: Abridged is an incredibly rocky season. Throughout the first few episodes, Team Four Star tries to find themselves as artists and (re)writers, experimenting with different styles of humor, editing, sound design, and pacing all throughout. This, naturally, can be very difficult to watch, almost like attending a student film festival: there’s seeds of talent and skill scattered all throughout, but on the whole it’s kind of a mess, as no one really knows what they’re doing well enough to nurture those seeds properly.

Of course, the thing about student film festivals is that anyone who works hard enough can come back the next year stronger than ever, having learned much and settled into their artistic comfort zone. And in comparison to the first episode of Dragonball Z: Abridged, “Nappa’s Best Day Ever” is like the next year’s entry at a student film festival: it’s better written, better paced, and significantly more comfortable with itself.

“Best Day Ever” covers the fight between the Saiyans and the heroes currently on earth, and it does so by embracing Team Four Star’s greatest strength as comedy writers: rapid fire, joke-based storytelling. They also fully lean into the strength of two fairly risky jokes, trusting themselves to deliver it, and trusting that we will trust them.

The first risky joke is the Krillin Limit Break sequence, and its risk comes from it being referential humor, rather than character based. Unlike most of the referential humor before, however, Team Four Star leans fully into this joke by making it a visual joke as well as a line, trusting that it knows its audience well enough to get a reference to Final Fantasy VII (we are watching an anime abridged series after all). The second risky joke is Nappa’s destruction montage, where he flies around destroying earth’s armies and navies while joyful music matches his own glee. The lack of sound effects unfortunately makes the joke not land as well as it could, but it still stands as a strong sequence overall.

This episode also delivers on the dark foreshadowing of the last. Including Yamcha, three people die in this episode, with Chaotzu sacrificing himself pointlessly and Tien desperately trying and failing to avenge him. It’s pretty dark stuff, and Team Four Star leans into this material as strongly as they do the humor; Krillin and Tien are both played incredibly by Lanipator and Ganxingba respectively, showing the absolute frustration, fear, and desperation they both feel as the result of losing their friends and facing off against these seemingly invincible warriors.

Rating: 4.5/5

Mod Showcase #4

Skyrim Quest Mods

Eventually, you run out of things to do in Skyrim. If you want to do more things, check out some of these! This showcase was a collaborative effort with my good friend @partyatsanguines, so don’t forget to follow her too! (You probably already are, though.)

1. Legacy of the Dragonborn by icecreamassassin

Highly endorsed by Em, Legacy of the Dragonborn is a DLC-sized mod with a lot to offer!

“You join up with curator Auryen Morellus as his partner at the Dragonborn Museum. It adds displays for just about every unique item in the game, adds on a lot more, has multiple questlines regarding the expansion of the museum, creation of and recruitment for an explorer's guild, quests for exploring ruins with your guildmates and saving Tamriel, and a fairly long quest where you seek out relics of previous Dragonborns in an attempt to reforge the Amulet of Kings. Also Auryen is cute.” -Em

Legacy also patches and connects to many other mods, including Moonpath to Elsweyr.

2. Helgen Reborn by Mike Hancho

Helgen serves as Skyrim’s Kvatch - a destroyed town that never gets rebuilt to serve as a reminder of the atrocity that begins the game. If you’ve ever wanted to restore Helgen and even improve it, this is the mod for it! 

With over 20 voice actors and a bunch of content, you can rebuild Helgen, stop a slavery ring, fight in a secret arena, and much more!

3. Beyond Skyrim - Bruma by BeyondSkyrimDC

Ever wished you could go past Skyrim (and Solstheim) and go back to Cyrodiil? With this massive DLC-sized mod, you can! Beyond Skyrim - Bruma allows you to explore County Bruma, including the lovingly rebuilt city with 70 unique NPCs, many quests, Cyrodiilic weapons and armor, etc.

Side note, you WILL need SKSE and the memory patch, otherwise you’ll experience crashes.

4. Falskaar by AlexanderJVelicky

Falskaar adds much to the game - a whole new land with over 20 hours of content! Falskaar is a Nord-inhabited land, alone for almost 600 years before you arrive and mark the beginning of a prophesy.

The mod itself is DLC-sized, with 26 quests, new armor, clothing and weapons, new spells and a shout, and is fully voiced!

5. Moon and Star by GanXingba

"In a way, I know you better than anyone else, Dragonborn.”

A mysterious criminal has been spotted in Skyrim, but more may be at stake than it seems. Moon and Star requires only the base game, and provides a healthy expansion to the game - a branching main quest with 4 side quests, 9 fully voiced NPCs, and aftermath events following the main questline!

[NOTE: For those of you with canon characters from previous games, this one may not be friendly to your story!]

[meelothemanly]

i suddenly remembered how one time I called out the creators of the legend of korra abridged for basically plagiarizing their characterization of Amon from GanXingba and one of the creators sent a hoard of their followers to attack me. I wonder what happened to those trash bags?

[quillyfied]

GanXingba’s ATLA: Abridged series is...gone??

I HAVE BEEN AWAY FOR TOO LONG

(trying to explain why “sexyfine” is in my vocabulary but i CAN’T, the video is gone, an entire portion of my atla fandom experience has been wiped from the face of the internet ;A;)

Dragon Ball Z Abridged - Episode 8 Review

Consistent yet lackluster, this is a good episode that doesn’t really stand out.

The title sequence for Nappa's Best Day Ever should've started after Cadaverrific! which I think is a wonderful bit of black humor. But the following scene just felt like another "ha ha bulma is a loose woman" joke. This scene might've been funnier with better voice acting. I wouldn't say the scene did nothing for me, but it did very little.

Also “Mr Kent” - Is that a Superman reference or am I taking crazy pills?

[Title Sequence]

With Yamcha gone, the mantle of series buttmonkey falls to Krillin. He has his big damn hero moment, when he Limit Breaks the stuffing out of three Saibamen, but it's frankly disregarded in favor of Piccolo using a god damned mouth-laser to annihilate the last one.

With no more Saibamen left to toy with, it falls upon the two Saiyans to get their hands dirty. Or rather, for Nappa to get his hands dirty while Vegeta sits back and watches. Nappa is no less full of whipshot non-sequiturs in this episode than he was in the previous. After some banter about teaching the Z Fighters a lesson, he gives new meaning to the word "punchline" and amputates Tien's arm.

Compared to a lot of other voice actors, Ganxingba (Tien) actually does a decent scream here. Most of the other screams so far have either been laid on too thick, or done way too close so it peaks their potato microphones, or it’s just super disingenuous. But right here, Tien’s scream is actually really convincing and doesn’t make me feel like someone is stabbing knives into my ears.

The quiet breeze after Vegeta makes a corny pun (Looks like he's been... disarmed!) sells the joke. Nappa’s follow-up seems more like an in-character necessity for him than it seems like a part of the joke.

Ever apparent that fighting Nappa would be completely beyond their capabilities, Chiaotzu decides to blow himself up and take Nappa with him.

"You can just wish me back with the Dragon Balls!" "We already wished you back with the Dragon Balls! We can't do it twice!" "...Wait, wha--?"

KABOOM. Okay, that got a chuckle out of me. This is also the first time the respawn limit of the Dragon Balls has been mentioned. Simply put, everybody gets one.

Krillin's comment on Chiaotzu's death is really bland and lazily written, but prompts a little more character insight to Tien.

"I loved him." "As a memorial to Yamcha... Gay."

I didn't like it when Yamcha first said it, but being referenced in this macabre fashion does something for me. I won't claim it's clever or witty but I personally find it funny.

Nappa then reveals that Chiaotzu's sacrifice had absolutely no effect on him, which naturally enrages Tien. He goes on to get the stuffing knocked out of him, and Gohan ponders if they should help him instead of just standing around.

Piccolo explains that Tien is in a battle to honor his friend’s death, and he wouldn’t dare besmirch the man’s pride by interrupting his heroic last stand. 

This immediately cuts to Tien screaming for help.

I can't tell if the smirk when Piccolo says "Like a hero" is a visual edit or actually existed in the source material, but it's use here is amazing. The look on his face makes him seem like a sadist who's enjoying this, and that's honestly not too far off from how Piccolo has been depicted so far. He's the Demon King who wants to take over the world and couldn't care less about these humans.

After being reprimanded by Gohan, Piccolo and Krillin finally get the lead out and agree to team up against Nappa. They get some surprise slaps on him, and Piccolo yells for Gohan to shoot him with everything he's got before he has time to DODGE.

This triggers a Pavlovian response and Gohan immediately runs for cover, which means Piccolo and Krillin are just going to have to fight Nappa the old fashioned way: By using the Kagebunshin no Jutsu.

"I can't... believe it."

The Naruto skit is creative and risable in its own right but not exactly gut-busting. What's a whole lot funnier is the notion that Nappa's incredible mental discipline is derived entirely from him playing "Patty Cake, Patty Cake" in his head.

Each of Krillin's shadow clones gets their own notch on the owned counter, bringing the score up to 7.

Nappa then commends their effort and tells them, hey at least you didn't kill yourself using a single useless attack, like Chiaotzu did. Tien then proceeds to do that exact same thing: He fires a Kikoho at Nappa and then dies.

It's given a bit more cause for worry in the original show, where Vegeta states that it very well could have killed Nappa if he didn't guard against it at the last second, but in this series he's given no such credit. Nappa just laughs and says "Pointless."

Just before he goes in for the kill on Krillin, he's stopped mid-air by a stunning realization. He can fly. Vegeta is too flabbergasted to argue this and simply agrees.

After pitching a fit about wanting Goku to watch him murder the Z Fighters, Vegeta obliges Nappa and agrees to wait three hours for Goku to arrive.

I half-expected, half-wanted them to make a fake girlfriend reference with Goku here.

Vegeta - "So this friend of yours, that you SAY is coming, is somehow stronger than all of you combined, yet didn't show up here to fight us, and you're only just now telling us this after two of your friends have died?"

Krillin - "You wouldn't know him, he goes to a different school."

Thirty seconds into their three hour wait time, Nappa starts up the "Is he here yet?" bit. Vegeta shoos him off and tells him to go have fun and occupy himself in any way he sees fit.

This begins a well-timed, well-edited musical number of Nappa systematically dismantling the naval and air forces of what I assume is the World Government.

And this whole time while Nappa is enjoying himself to the sounds of musical splendor, crashing metal, and explosions, Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan are just standing still in a morosely quiet semi-circle. For the entire three hours I'm guessing. Vegeta's scouter alarm goes off, which means time is up and they're all going to die. Nappa suddenly returns without his shirt and elbows Piccolo in the head so hard it changes the color of the sky from blue to pink.

Not the most clean or graceful cutaway scene, but it sells itself regardless. The stinger is a stronger finish than it had any right to be, as a callback and apparent closure to the most esoteric joke in this series. RIP Whales.

Conclusion

This was a plateau of an episode. Whereas the last episode had constant peaks and kept your interest, this one was steady and consistent throughout in a less remarkable way. Most of the factors that go into making or breaking an episode seemed to have hit a comfortable resting point. That or I've just finally become numb to the questionable microphone quality.

I feel like this episode almost lands in the twilight zone of "It's bad, so let me reach to say something positive about it" and "It's good, so let me reach to say something negative about it." that just coalesces into me not having much of anything to say about it. I’m uncertain whether or not this constitutes a failure on my part as a critic, or if this episode really is just that comparatively monotonous.

The word mediocre is often used to mean bad or poor, which I don't feel fits this episode, but it certainly isn't a stand out. I really couldn't find much worthy of discussion here beyond face value.

The few jokes that struck me personally stop me from calling this episode boring, but I found myself repeatedly checking the time to see how much I still had left to watch. It had jokes that were definitely funny, but nothing here really kept my attention. Other lackluster episodes, even if they were not worth a rewatch, kept my interest because I'd latch onto things that were obvious and apparent as being poorly done. This one offered very little variance between the lowest it went and the peak its comedy or production.

If anything, this episode is saved from a lower score by its tail end. Nappa's patty cake joke and the eponymous "best day ever" scene really make up the majority of this episodes hard-hitting humor for me.

But it is important to note that this is still a good episode. It’s not a laugh riot episode and it’s probably not in anyone’s Top 5, but it’s a very comfortable middle ground between the worst this season has to offer and the very peaks.

As an important side note, I feel like we're just now encroaching upon what might be Nappa fatigue. I maintain my position that Nappa has yet to have a “do nothing” joke - all of his humor has been in a hit in some capacity - but it feels almost par for the course at this point. Nappa is definitely not overdone in this episode and he in fact caries it, but I feel like another episode of this style would tread tightly upon the expiration date of how much zaniness you can come to expect before it starts to feel samey. Nappa is in danger here of simply becoming too saturated within the show’s focus and would lose his simplistic, unique appeal that's the driving force behind his characterization. Which is well-timed because we all know what happens next episode...

While I don’t think this episode stands out as a whole, it definitely has some strongly quotable moments. Yeah, yeah, most of what Nappa said. But a series of hilariously derailing one-liners does not make for something remarkable on the whole, which to me just feels expected, stagnant and safe. The peaks are not enough to pull this episode further up, but I must say I’m still not fully confident in my assessment. This was definitely a weird episode to judge.

Score: 67

Passing Thoughts

“What the hell could someone like you possibly major in?” “Child psychology.” “Wow, that sounds really interesting.” “WITH A MINOR IN PAIN!”

"Nappa here is worth 5 Raditz, and I am worth 15 Raditz!" - Vegeta Accurate to the canon power levels!

Oolong saying "Get back to the fight!" sounds absolutely nothing like Oolong. In fact, Episode 1 Oolong sounds more like Oolong than this short cameo did.

"Dick move, guys."

"Good effort, but I'm the patty cake champion."
