Do you have a favorite anime you’ve watched time and time again? Mayb♏e you’ve seen all the♐ movies, episodes, and read all the manga, but want something to change up your viewing experience.

Enter the Abridged series, fan dubbings of popular shows that often feature the anime cut down to just the hits and main plot points. These series are often done in a way to poke fun at𓂃 silly things in whatever show they’re dubbing over, while other times they’r🌄e completely off the rails and create their own plot. If you’re looking for something a little different and for a good laugh, you can’t go wrong with these fan creations.

Quick note about m𒈔any Abridged series. The Abridged’s heyday w🏅as more than a decade ago, and many jokes don’t hold up or reflect changing culture on how to approach jokes and social commentary. Many creators have voiced regret for their past writing and have apologized for their comments, which is important as we watch content from years ago.

8 ꦯ Dragon Ball 🍌Z Kai Abridged

By Team Four Star

Okay, so this is more of an honorable mention than a full Abridged series, but if you’ve watched Team 🌱Four Star’s Dragon Ball Z Abꦐridged and need more, you can always kill ten minutes and watch all of the Dragon Ball Z Kai Abridged.

The episodes are a rapid-fire series of plot points summed up in sentences and jokes based on parodies from the original Abridged series. The best way to capture this is when Veget⛎a transforms into his Great Ape form, only to immediately have his tail cut off and change back to regular Saiyan form less than a second later, no fighting, no commentary.

7 50% Off

By Octopimp

A w🌸ildly different approach to the competitive swimming anime Free!, 50% Off (get it?) boils the anime down to its mꦛost basic elements in a way that is both funny and surprisingly succinct. Episodes rarely go longer than two minutes and are filled with much more overt tension than the original anime.

You can watch all of 50%ಞ Off in just under two hours, making it great for quick watches or for trying to convince your friends to watch more with you. While much of the plot is lost in the Abridged series, the non-stop jokes and innuendos make for a fun time.

6 Jujutsu Kaisen Abridged 🌳

By MyToasterIsMoist

This 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:ten-episode Abridged series♔ by MyToasterIsMoist is a bit of a fever dream of a show, with some utterly absurd bits and some unexpectedly great voice acting. Non-sequit🌜urs link scenes and bits might go on for too long if it wasn’t legitimately funny.

There is plenty of fourth wall breaking in the sho💜w, with voice actors seemingly laughing at their own jokes mid reading, which only works to make the Abridged series funnier. Many of the sound effects that curses make are delightfully gross, and some of the inner dialogue of the character feels a bit more realistic given the horror of the situations characters find themselves in.

5 💯 SAO 🍬Abridged

By Something Witty Entertainment

One of the few anime Abridged series that debuted before the English dub of the anime, Sword Art Online Abꦺridged, often shortened to SAO Abridged, faithfully follows the main plot of the show while wildly diverging on characters' personalities and behavior to a hilarious effect.

Sword Art Online Abridged is ꦯstill ongoing, though episodes can sometimes take years to release. Thankfully, Something Witty Entertainment has plenty of other Abridged series and other content to enjoy. The series features an all-star cast, with voice actors from other series, so don’t be surprised if you recognize plenty of other familiar voices during the show.

4 Hellsing Ultimate Abridged 🐈

By Team Four Star

It's not the first time Team Four Star has appeared on this list, and it won’t be the last. Hellsing Abridged by Team Four Star boils the show down to just ten episodes, while still hitting all the main plot points of the show. Since it debuted after the group had a good amount of experience under their belts, voices are locked in right from episode one, making it a great experi⛄ence from the get-go.

The absurd situations of the show are only made more preposterous thanks to a string of one-liners and curious accents that take the s꧑how to the extreme. There are plenty of quotable sections from the show, which is something you can come to expect fro🍨m Team Four Star.

3 Fa𓆉te/Stay Night UBW Abridged 🧜

By Project Mouthwash

Another Abridged series that stays loyal to the original show, Fate/Stay Night UBW Abridged follow the Unlimited Blade Works iteration ℱof the anime, and turns the Holy Grail War from a tragic tale of loss a🐻nd sacrifices, to a comedic journey with bombastic personalities who still have to face the horrors of the War.

All characters have their personalities turned up to eleven in this show, with Archer's dry cynicism taken to an absurd degree, with a hatred for Shirou that becomes a hilarious running gag. The series makes fun of the original anime without being disrespꦏectful and isn't plagued with nearly as many random jokes that other series 𓃲rely on to bridge scenes.

2 Yu-Gi-Oh꧑ Abridged

By Little Kuriboh

One of the original Abridged series that put the genre on the map for many fans over the years, Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged was spearheaded by Little Kuriboh and spanned the majority of the original anime. While self-referential jokes and other trends might have☂ plagued Abridged content for years, it still holds a special place for being the start of it all.

Being one of the original Abridged series, it paved the way for future series, and while many of the jokes are dated and can be a bit flat nowadays, they can still be funny in context. Perhaps one of the best things to take away from the series is the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:new personality of Seto Kiba, who unabasꩲhedly abuses his financial influence over a children’s card game at every chance he gets.

1 Dragon Ball Z Ab✨ridged

By Team Four Star

A masterpiece in retelling a familiar story, Dragon Ball Z Abridge🔯d is perhaps the biggest name in the game when it comes to Abridged series. Characters are both taken to the absurd in characterization, while faithfully sticking to much of the original personality and tone of the anime and ܫmanga.

Early jokes can sometimes be a bit self-referential and can feel disjointed at times, but when the show catches its stride, it is a journey all on its own. The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:personalities of Vegeta, Piccolo, a🌺nd Go꧙ku are at their most absurd, while still feeling true to the characters. Perhaps the greatest element of⛦ the series is the clear love of the original content that Team Four Star shows. There are bits referencing odd dubbing choices from various versions of the original Dragon Ball Z, while plenty﷽ of throwbacks to the original Dragon Ball and the non-canonical films as well that only fans will pick up on.
