I’ve posted Episode 2, because I never saw episode one until much later, since Episode 1 was always copyright claimed.
DBZ abridged is tears-in-eyes hilarious for those who haven’t tried it you effin gotta try just one.
Ahhhaha i’m emembering piccolo harshin vegeta for his pink shirt (awaiting friezas return). I think i stopped watching around the end of cell saga (it got a bit less funny and/or i got burned out, can’t remember) but there’s so much gold before that time…shiii maybe i should strap in for a rewatch.
It did get less punchy, especially around the Ginyuu Force stuff. Episodes got longer, they covered more of the plot (usually), and the tone shifted to take Perfect Cell seriously.
It’s still worth watching through to the end. They put in some effort.
I actually thought it only got better as time went on in terms of quality and scripting.
The latter half of season 1 and all of Season 2 were just quote machines for me and my friends back in the day.
