*Shrugs* It's okay.  The upside-down Disney Castle a the beginning was the funniest part.  I still prefer Naji's dubs, though.  The voice actors in this one were terrible (bad acting) and a very retarded voice for Saionji.  I'm sorry, funny is one thing, but his parodied voice was so annoying it almost made me want to stop watching and it made no sense.  Make him sound gay...okay, I see the joke...make him sound like a cartoonish 1920's gangster?  What does that have to do with anything?  Except for it maybe being a shallow version of Naji's pimp!Saionji.  (Not to mention the Kill Bill joke was there too. )

It's shame too.  I was all excited since KaiserNeko was playing Touga.

I agree it was only so-so in the humor (coulda been alot snappier and funnier). However it er told the story in an abridged way (which I guess was the point), and I actually liked Saionji's ridiculous voice (although I thought he coulda said funnier stuff). It reminded me bigtime of the villain's voice in Kung Pow that old Hong Kong action flick parody.

Haha, found this a while a go and loved it to bits. The Saionji voice just cracks me up (I though he was meant to be like a hick or something, hence the wife (bride?) beating). Maybe I just have a weird sense of humour, but still.
If anything, I thought this version of the prince version was funnier than 'the prince as micheal jackson' one. But maybe that was just me

YES YES YES
Goddamn I wish they would update that. The first time I heard Ray speak was just pure lulz.

Agreed. The video where they do "The Twelve Days of Christmas" was gold.

"THREE GOOD REASONS TO CUT MYSELF. Well, it's probably more than that."

Priceless.

I think it was half incredibly hilarious and half incredibly stupid.

I thought the parts with Dios were hilarious, and some other lines were really funny. So it wasn't a total waste of time, I think....

It's sort of funny, but the problem I have with this type of thing is they're never abridged enough for me! I have tried watching others like the Salior moon ones....if its on ep one and is ten minutes, that's not that abridged! That's half the length of the original episode! I think it would be funnier to boil each ep down to their essential five minutes, and focus on some really punchy dialogue for that. Then maybe they would be more consistently funny.

I've watched this!! Once I get my sound back I'll watch it again. You know I've seen a few paradies now and I've always wondered why no one has just gone for the obvious choice for Dios. Prince, I mean, you could even play the "Kiss" song while he does exactly that to little Utena.

Edit: Also, YGO abridged rocks!

Oh, I love the abridged series! It's funny.

well i watched it..and i was disappointed.
i thought the funniest part was making fun of the tower, and the funniest part about that is that it stated exactly what was on our minds...

hell, my freddie mercury thread got more laughs than that..lol
(just joking)

I thought this was okay.
I think the best abridged is the DBZ and Death Note...but oh well

My main problem with this is that it doesn't feel like a real episode in any way/ the DBZ voices are amazing, but these feel like some fans got together and did a dub
