Not even exaggerating when I say it gets infinitely better, pushed the boundaries of what an abridged show can do, people who never watched dragon ball can also love it
They really shouldn't do that, People who watch this first always get the worst misconceptions of the show and carry the worst stereotypes for characters, I am not hating on DBZA but that is the facts. No first time watchers experience should be with the parody abridged of anything.
@@Waluigiisbest99 a lot of reactors first time watching anything Dragon Ball related watched this first, JacktheBus is a good one and he's already finished Super and Broly, played Kakkarot and FighterZ. TFS bring him up sometimes and they're grateful they were his first experience. As an older DB fan I dont think there's anything wrong with DBZA being the first experience
@@2amCryptidthere’s tons wrong. It ain’t faithful in characterizations and to say it’s alright than never seeing the source material is a slap in the face and huge levels of disrespectful
It wild looking back on these old episodes, especially knowing how the bar of quality raises over time, like from episode 1 you'd think Kaiser was struck by lightning sometime during season 2 and suddenly gained a great sense of humor. I unironically enjoy the Piccolo myspace bit, its stupid, but its a jab at Piccolo being lonely, which is true to his character, I think that's why it works. I suppose I shouldn't throw Kaiser under the bus, a bunch of people contributed and this was the final product so they're all to blame haha
FINALLY, damn! I've been recommending this probably since the beginning. Thank you to whoever showed it to him or for him for finally deciding to watch this xd I really think Nick will enjoy this whole ride. Enjoyable to react to too!
taken me all the way back to 2008. Of all the things Nicholas could react to I would never expect this. Hope you stick with it, the first few episodes haven't aged all that well, but it gets pretty great.
All the references they make only make sense if you've actually seen all of the Dragon Ball episodes, the movies and dbz. It works by itself too but, it's not the same as for example, catching the Turles reference that Raditz made. Basically it's kinda like watching Avengers Endgame without having seen any other MCU film.
I love Nicholas's reactions and I do honestly feel he would be one of the biggest DBZ fans ever if he sat down and watched it. The passion he shows is damn near unrivaled. It would be awesome redirecting that towards the Dragon Ball story....
It's over guys. He'll watch the Abridged version and think afterwards that he watched the real thing. Here goes another "Piccolo is Gohan's father" victim
Tom from myspace retired in his 20's, he sold the website for a LUDICROUS amount of money back when it was popular (and right before it became stale) and said "well I'm never working again" and by god he did it
@@ACobalt I'd say the entire first season is pretty rough. Second season gradually gets better until it becomes really good. Once it hits season 3 it doesn't drop in quality at all. It's great the entire time.
@@ДавидГригорьев-ф3ж Uh no. The dialogue and quality throughout season 1 is iffy and riddled with 2010 internet "le randumb xddd" memes. Sorry, bro. Those don't age well. There are obviously moments here and there that are good, but it's not remotely consistent. It doesn't get consistent until the ginyu force and it doesn't get consistently good until right when Nail fuses with Piccolo.
i'm biased when I say this but: Toriyama's original DBZ work is superior to any changed form, kinda sad that Nick spoiled himself, probably thinking that the series wouldn't appeal to him
SHESH I love DBZ Abridged man it will get so much better But it will NEVER replace the Original when you have time you should give DB Classic and after that DBZ Kai a try
If I was Yamcha I wouldn't even cheat on Bulma with myself... Trunks would be born 10 years early and boring but I'd be sugar daddy to the heir of the richest family on Earth.
after the first saga, this show takes a turn and starts taking itself very seriously while also making the jokes way funnier, there are legitimately amazing non comedic scenes and what they do with the source material makes it imo equal to the original
Please please please continue this, I know the start maybe not the best but it hits its stride like you wouldn't believe, it becomes so quality sometimes you forget it's a parody
OMG you actually went for it, keep it up it only gets better they were a bit rusty in the beginning of Abridged, it gets so much better, you must do them all.
This is definitely an example of Old TH-cam. You would see Flash animators from NewGrounds branching out to do projects like this, on TH-cam. Early on, you'd get a couple episodes per year. At one point, they started offering these every three months or so. Like the name says, they abridge the episodes, and remove a lot of the stuff that made the original show drag, like staring at each other with no dialogue. The storyline also takes a path of its own, and I kinda like it better. I've also gotten used to the voices, so that the originals sound a bit weird, now. I think it's a great way to binge & revisit the series without fluff & filler. It's really hard for me to stop, once I've started watching it. They say it gets better. I can confirm that. Also, it doesn't take very long to do that.
Nick youll absolutely love this series! u should know that the first few eps arent *as* funny as the rest, but just get through the first 10 and it'll be the funnies shit ever! Oh and there's another series they made with DBZ that happens in hell. Its called HFIL, and its also very funny.
Yes sir, finally started this series, hopefully you continue it nick, have a good day. Ps. I think you should do a rewatch of it in the future when you’ve watched the original dbz so you can get a lot more references They make.
Best TH-camr
Thank you

So true
I swear so true😂
all hail king Vegeta
Oh man here we go again.
IT FINNALLY HAPPENED
Please continue the abridged series it gets so much better
So true, the Android saga goes BRRRRR :D
The first episode is actually the worst because the didn't really "find" their style of humor yet
I second this 👌🏽 I haven't seen someone react to DBZA since blindwave
Every episode, they knew better how to do this
Yea, wait freezer saga plz
DBZA reactions will go hard
OH BOI , another reason to rewatch DBZ Abridged
you on a journey man

I think you're right about that actually, but I just like some of the parts they added in the abrigded, also the pacing is alot better

It's a bit of a rocky start but I promise you Nick this turns into the greatest fan made series of all time, so glad you chose to watch this
I really hope Nick continues to react to DBZ Abridged. It's hilarious.
@@MTAKIM-xy9jdA fandub of the original series
This abridged series is amazing, it only gets better with time. Please watch it entirely.
Show gets so much better after a few episodes, production quality and comedy really improves

Next episode is even better. The yoshi joke is actually really funny
Pausing every 30 seconds, is this what we can expect from this reaction series? Brilliant.
YOOOOOOOOOOO so happy you're reacting to this , this is gonna be a great journey!
This is the one, this is the series I've been wanting to see you react to since stumbling on the channel
RIP the man who started influencing people to start making anime. DBZ will forever we the father of all anime, fly high master.

YES!!!!! I hope you continue watching these. They get better and better as it goes on
Please continue this brother! I will always vouch for how this series just gets better both in VA quality and in their writing.
"Please, can i live here"
Bro did NOT see that coming 😭😭😭

You know it's a good day when reactor you like reacts to a show you like
It's over guys. He'll watch the Abridged version and think afterwards that he watched the real thing.
Here goes another "Piccolo is Gohan's father" victim
Piccolo is gohans father
Meh, you say that like it's a bad thing.
@@Mikaracatit is tho
The part I struggle with is that sooooo many jokes are DBZ references.
TFS didn't start that at all, Dragon Ball fans love blaming shit on TFS but most misconceptions about DB existed long before TFS
Tom from myspace retired in his 20's, he sold the website for a LUDICROUS amount of money back when it was popular (and right before it became stale) and said "well I'm never working again" and by god he did it

He skipped classic dragon ball :(
The crazy part is that this parody eventually becomes a solid interpretation in it's own right.
Emphasis on "eventually" lol, first couple of episode are ROUGH.

Nick will watch anything but actual Dragon Ball Z
To be fair, half of the dragonball a fan base has never watched og dragonball. Dragonball fans are weird.
@@day7053 if not og dragon ball then at least the original DBZ, but i guess he's just going straight into it abridged
I’ve been waiting for this 👏🏼
I never knew I needed this this much, but once I thought about it, this reaction series is going to be GOLD
I really hope nick watches dragon ball one day like its the one thing i wish he will watch
Literally been praying for these reactions
i'm biased when I say this but: Toriyama's original DBZ work is superior to any changed form, kinda sad that Nick spoiled himself, probably thinking that the series wouldn't appeal to him
Yeah. He should've started with originals. Not this pig comedy shit.
Well it's kinda sad that his first experience of the series is the abridged version. You can't really appreciate any of the storytelling that way
You’re going to absolutely lose your shit over the OSTs used. The song they remade for the finale is such a beautiful send off
YESSSS ABRIDGED!!!! It was basically my cable in school
Raditz showing up thinkin he was Leroy Jenkins😂
3:54 funny thing is Appule is actually way stronger than Raditz lol
I've waited a long time for this one my dude
I just found out that Nappa is 8 ft 10 which makes sense since he towers over Piccolo who is 7 ft 5. Raditz is 6 ft 3.
Let's goooo!!!
I was hoping this day would come 🎉
Oh my god he's doing it! Strap in for an exponential growth in quality all around.
YEEEEEEES BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SHI, U GONE LOVE THIS SHI NICK
SHESH I love DBZ Abridged man it will get so much better
But it will NEVER replace the Original when you have time you should give DB Classic and after that DBZ Kai a try
I've been praying for days like this. I would love if you did the whole series. I'll like and comment on every episode. I put that on Duper Kami Dende
If I was Yamcha I wouldn't even cheat on Bulma with myself...
Trunks would be born 10 years early and boring but I'd be sugar daddy to the heir of the richest family on Earth.
Nick please continue this cause im gonna watch this every week
Dude, you have to keep watching this series, it gets so much better!
I actually gasped out loud at work seeing this. fucking massive W do more!
Good luck getting past the first few episodes. They got infinitely better as the series progress
That set up is looking clean
This!!!!!! This is what I've wanted!!!!!!!
if this becomes a series i am HERE FOR IT
Oh man I'm so happy this is happening. It gets peak hilariocity oncee you get to the android/cell saga just like in the actual show
You gotta continue this one bro. It gets crazy good. Quality goes from amateur to professional real quick
Please continue this series it’s easily one of my favorite TH-cam series
You def need to keep this one going, by the time it gets to the vegeta fight it really finds its footing . It’s funny asf
Dbz abridged is the greatest. All episodes make me piss myself. Love that you're reacting to it. Your reaction are top tier! ❤
No better way to honor akira toriyama than watching… the parody
lmao i was just about to rewatch this too, but saw this video in my feed before i could type
i was a bit sad when you ended the stream without watching episode 2 but this makes it all worth it.
I have been waiting for him to react to the DBZ abridged series for so long let’s go
This might be the best person to react to this

It may seem slow now but it’s gets SOOOO much better over the years
Here we fucking go people!
I cant believe this is happening. Watch all of it including the movies, it gets better and better.
It takes the whole saiyan saga to improve and afterwards it's like 99% gas.
