1. running gags/parralel jokes are not overused
2. consist characterization
3. story and characters are still related to the original story
Definitely. TFS is know for its running gags. And yes, they are not overused, which makes them funnier.
Bitches love canons
It's just a matter of perspective really
I don’t think the running jokes go on too long but they do retell a lot of jokes and that something Think does hurt them
Let me rephrase myself. TFS are masters of continuity.
Hellsing Ultimate Abridged is essentially a new series, a new piece or art, and both the original and the new piece are fantastic

Well, that's true for all abridged series, just as Hellsing Ultimate is a new series from Hellsing.
Nah, the original is subpar

"Turning Alucard into an eccentric moron."
Integra put you up to this didn't she.
Hellsing Ultimate Abridged is so good that sometimes I mistake which part was in the original anime and which in the Abridged version. And Alucard in Abridged is genius: he isn't an over the top moron, he is an over the top asshole and man, does it work, especially with his voice being suited perfectly for the character. All the rants between Integra and Alucard are pure gold, that must be said too.
no the original alucard is better and his dub voice is leagues above the abridge voice
FireTalon24 #lifehack
Nayrosnofla Alfonso he would
Actually Abridged Alucard is one of my favorute characters in anime
+One Punch Fish (Fishtama) they are equal acting vise
What I love is that when he is Dracula, he is actually polite and like the original series' version
That really feels like the ultimate key to the code - those moments where things get serious, and the parody takes itself seriously just long enough to counterbalance the humor, and it makes both parts hit that much harder.
I think Alucards rewrite works so well is because he switched between the two common personalities of immortal characters. One is the solemn, generally depressed individual who doesn't see much value in anything as he has seen so much. And the other is the character who truly doesn't give a shit about what he does, because why would he? He can't die and can't be stopped. So why take anything seriously?
he didn't even make much of a switch, cannon alucard is a complete nut case as well, he just doesn't show it quite as often but when you see scenes like when he transformes into a sweet transvestite from transsexual transilvania just to fuck with walter or the rape van winkle scene which was so fucked up that even the abridged series turned it down a LOT
Alucard is both of those in canon, though.
Windhelm Guard rape? I rewatched the original scene and all I saw was her getting stabbed by a gun, Alucard licking up her blood off the ground and then bit her neck.
@@windhelmguard5295 nice rocky horror picture show reference you made there
@@johntaco861 pretty sure the scene was supposed to symbolize rape
Ah, the return of the Why Boner...WITH A VENGEANCE.
I've watched the series so many times, it's utterly brilliant. It's hilarious while being able to handle the more poignant scenes naturally and with a sense of sincerity. The aftermath of Alucard's battle with Anderson is an excellent example of this. It does all this with it's new charcter personalities while still being able to tell the story in a way that feels natural, like this a legitimate alternate version of the dark original.

And the original Hellsing.

It is so well done that when I try to think of Alucard's voice, the abridged version comes to mind first.
And his original voice is fantastic but Taka is just so damn good.

I do think Hellsing abridged is amazing. I mean, I don't cry a lot, and only certain shows can get me to cry, but
*SPOILERS*
The team behind hellsing abridged is so talented that they had me bawling at Pip's death and the scene afterward.
Golden Raijin I know those feels mate, I actually came pretty close myself. I think it’s especially impressive because the start of the only *real* references to a romance between them started on *that* episode!
It was very emotional in the original, but Some scenes in abridged hit harder, others hit softer. in the original, Pip offered her his blood in the desperate hope that one of them survives this. It ultimately succeeded, and was such a boost for Seras that she managed to save everyone else still alive and make a joke out of Zorin, proving who really was the insect.
Abridged made it more Alucard giving her the final push she needed to cross that bridge, Pip didn't vocally offer his blood, but still gave consent, and Seras started taking in that memester attitude Alucard has himself.
And Anderson's death, Alucard and Anderson have a heart to heart, and Anderson admits that The Boondock Saints is his favorite movie which was a call back to a joke earlier in the series, Alucard calls Anderson 'friend' and finally Anderson starts to tell Alucard how to face his demons
Until Walter comes and ruins everything
I find it works because unlike most abridged series, Hellsing Ultimate is a true parody.
It completely reworks the story and characters, but still tells/parodies the core story. Like they took a different route to the same destination. While the main route is a dark drama, this route is comedic, and the character changes are a reflection of that.
Most abridged series just create an off tangent story, and end up creating a new "story" that is just there to justify fart jokes/[insert dark humor here]. They are not really parodying the original series, just using it's animation to create jokes loosely connected by a "story."
To be fair Sword Art online abridged by this group ruclips.net/user/SWEabridged did a damn great job at it granted its seen my most like making a 'shitty series' into something worth watching and improving it . Which to me I'm in that camp as the canon/real Sword Art online series just wasn't good to me while the abridged was better as it fixed a lot of the issues myself and other fans had with the real series.
if you want to see an anime the is a parody go watch ghost stories the English dubbed version because they did not care what they were saying.

I like to think that abridged series fall into 3 categories:
Type 1, MENTs have little to no relation whatsoever to the original plot, and often use absurdist humour to basically confuse people into laughing. Examples include none piece and code ment
Type 2, wallbreakers often, as the name suggests, break the fourth wall, but still stay relatively close to the original plot, with minor story deviations occurring on occasion. The most prevalent example of this is YGOTAS.
Type 3, true abridgeds keep the core plot nearly entirely intact, with the only significant changes being to characters for humour, and even then the changes usually only play up their existing characteristics. Examples of this include DBZA, hellsing abridged, SAO abridged, and (so far) overlord abridged
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
1)All murder, war, and robbery is forbidden in this world.
2)All conflict in this world will be resolved through games.
3)In games, each player will bet something that they agree is of equal value.
4)As long as it doesn't violate pledge three, anything may be bet, and any game may be played.
5)The challenged party has the right to decide the rules of the game.
6)Any bets made in accordance with the pledges must be upheld.
7)Conflicts between groups will be conducted by designated representatives with absolute authority.
8)Being caught cheating during a game is grounds for an instant loss.
9)In the name of god, the previous rules may never be changed.
10)Let's all have fun and play together!

I have two favorite lines from this series: "Jesus wants a hug!" and "Ooh, better watch out for hrmmrhrhRMRmrhm." Abridged Alucard is a sassy Alucard, and a sassy Alucard is the BEST Alucard.
personal opinion, a lot of the characters are still in character in a weird way. Police girl is still readily identifiable as Police Girl Seras Victoria, and Ser Integra and so on. I really love this series.
The best abridged series have almost all the characters be still perfectly recognizable while still being very distinct from their originals. It's a hard line to tread. Large deviations usually only work with smaller background characters, like, say, Popo.
Lord Omega not really a grammatical error since "ser" is old english.
Firan25 spelling* (also "ser" is somewhat popular in certain circles in modern use now as a non-gendered title)
@Blivvy I see.
Also, I don't remember having 'Spelling' in my reply.
or you where correcting me saying that I meant Spelling error, not Grammatical error. Which is fine as well.
I was pretending like "grammatical" was a typo of "spelling", yes :)
“No wonder Alucard wants to plow that virgin soil. I’m thinking about planting some flowers myself.” If this quote alone doesn’t make it art I just don’t understand art
God bless yes. Hellsing Ultimate Abridged is a masterpiece and I wish it was updated more regularly.
it has a schedule, in fact it's on par with the original show ;P
If it was done more regularly, and they didnt put as much time as they currently do into each one... then I doubt it would stay as much of a masterpiece as it currently is.
Around halloween every year we have waited, and waited, and waited even fucking more, for that which is known as Hellsing Ultimate Abridged. It's like the couple months early Christmas Gift we have been waiting for, and then we finally get. It's a slow beautiful process, and one that will end soon regardless of the updates. They only have a couple more epsiodes of the orginal left before it's all over, so let them wait. Let them take what little is left, and milk that fucking tit for all its worth. They've fucking earned it.
Hell if anything i'd be more torn up about the DBZ Abridged schedule because at least Hellsing's is an actual schedule apart from the issues they had last year which they remedied. One line makes up for all of it. "Anderson it's only been a day but it feels like years!" Priceless.
"Anderson! It's been two days, but it feels like *years.* "
“The catholics are crusading while the Nazis are invading”
hellsing abridged is more than art. it's a gift from god.
No, a gift from Alucard, have you see their interpretation of god? He's an ass.
Integra: What did you do?!
Alucard: Alright...but you cant be mad at me!!
Integra: WHAT DID YOU DO?!!
Alucard: You see I was chilling in my room like a boollock...and then this guys came at my room....one of them yelled "GET ON YOUR KNEES" and I replied with "IM NOT YOUR MOTHER LAST NIGHT"
They took offence to that.
*A copious amount of bullets is buried into some Gene Simmons-looking motherfucker*
Super Vegito Baller*
And that went about as well as you'd expect.
Silver lining: I can cancel my room service!
Plz edit with fix...
Integra: "What. Did you do?"
Alucard: "Firstly, I was minding my own business."
Integra: "BULLSHIT!"
Alucard: "I waaaasss...."
Integra: "And what happened whilst you were 'minding your own business'?"
Alucard: "So I was chillaxin' in my room like a baller, then all of the sudden these schmucks kicked in my door! One of them yelled 'Get on your knees!' and I responded with 'I'm not your mother last night!' -- And they took exception to that."
To be honest... I personally prefer the abridged version of alucard to his original character, the main reason for this is that unlike in the real version, alucard is relatable, he is not some cold monster who can think only of killing and following orders, instead we have a Memester who actively has fun doing what ever he wants, and with that kind of power, I can’t see a reason not to be, I mean he is smart but he leaves the thinking to form 0 and the insanity to form 1 while having fun in form 4 and just being condescending in form 5 (girlycard).
So to sum it all up I understand that hellsing is supposed to be serious, but I can’t help but feel that a more long lasting alucard would be the abridged version, hell I would watch 20 seasons of alucard kicking ass and meming it up.
I'm the same way, the abridged just is more relatable beyond the just kill everyone mentality.
Well, it's a matter of perspective really
SAO Abridged > SAO
I think you need to switch that symbol around cause right now it says SAO is greater than SAO Abridged
Fully agree! I mean i kinda liked SAO, mainly due to it's animation, but the abridged?! Oohhhhh man, story is great, animation=same and the characters? They are hilariously well build.
No kidding. There’s actual personality and character development in the abridged, unlike the original
Thats just sad.
Dafuq is SAO?
Parody is taking the small elements of a story, and making them bigger. Poking fun at the small details.
TFS understands this.
Compare their form of parody to those asswipes that make Scary movie, haunted house, vampires suck, etc.
Little Kuriboh (Yugioh TAS) und Something Witty Entertainment (Sword Art Online) are knowing their stuff too ;)
@@Silverlightbird Don't forget Project Mouthwash, and Wingman Crew Abridging, they're pretty high up too.
Well no shit, the Wayans Brothers are awful. Ever notice that Scary Movie 3 is the only decent movie out of all their series? Well, surprise surprise, they didn't make it. David Zucker (of Airplane fame) wrote and directed it.
Yeah I have to say they didn’t really change the characters nearly as much as this video suggests. What they did was take existing character traits and crank them up to over 9000
yeah I think one of the reason why abridged works. show already has a comedic alttone but it is not that good or at center. abridged shining it and putting center so it works
I am a fan of both the original Hellsing and Hellsing Ultimate.. I absolutely love the retelling of the story in the abridged series.. And honestly prefer their rendition of Alucards personality.. The only negative aspect of it is the amount of time it's taking to finish this masterpiece... one episode every year or so is, by far, too long to wait 😑😑😑
Robert Shank Well Ultimate took the same time.
The wait can be painful, but it will be worse when the series ends after only 2 more episodes. I want way more than 40 more minutes of abridged Alucard, but since that's all they can do with the source material I think I actually prefer it spread out a bit.
They can always elongate it... but we've seen with the Black Clover anime just how bad of an idea it is too elongate a shorter work for the sake of giving more time.
Agreed, but if they go faster it might mess with the quality soo 😳
Considering that they decided to write, script, record, compile, reanimate for flapping, edit, etc a bunch of other stuff a year is pretty impressive.
It works on so many levels and I think one reason it works so well is how they can work contrasting scenes so well. What I mean by this is that TFS can make you laugh in one scene, then move to a badass scene while you're still riding that bit of high from before and really bring it together. They've also grown a lot in scenes meant to be sad and the fact they can weave in genuinely sad moments into their series where people also yell out "bitches love cannons", speaks volumes not only as editors but as talented voice actors.
watch something witty's SAO abridged where he completely rewrites kirito from an edgy but righteous character into a complete asshole and make everything more realistic to video games but less to the logic of the real world E.G the line to also i turned the profanity filter off
I actually prefer SWE's version to the original. Kirito being a snarky, knowitall jerk just fits so much better. Not to mention that they somehow made his character more relatable AND humanised him more with the trauma of watching his friends die.
FireTalon24 that’s probably because the original sucks shit
I mean, yeah, but besides that.
FireTalon24 the ending is realistic as fuck, kirito is fun as hell, and the jokes are funny
hero inator 2:21 I think he has...
i still love backstory for why this was made
someone told taka you can abraiged anything but hellsing and taka just said hold my beer
Fuck yeah a piece of art. Imma go watch the alucard boat scene again i love it so much.
I say it's not only art, it actually makes the story worth watching. The biggest problem with the original Hellsing Ultimate is that by taking themselves so seriously, they made it almost impossible for us to. Alucard is a Superman character; there's practically never any real tension, as his solution to any new challenge is to just say "Oh well, I wasn't really trying my hardest. Release limit level X" and then just beat things in the face. If you're expecting us to take your story seriously, this is boring and insulting to our intelligence. On the other hand, if you then couple that ability with an actual personality, it's entertaining as hell. Sure, we still know Alucard is going to win simply by BEING Alucard, there's no difference there, but we're having fun because HE'S having fun, and let's face it, wading hip deep through Nazi Vampire corpses SHOULD be fun!
Hell, it'd be enough if they just did that, just added some comedic value to the story, but they manage to do so and still make us care about the characters! The mutually sustained hate-boner between Alucard and Anderson makes us actually care when Anderson dies! Pip and Serras were given backstory as the show went on, so I cared about them! I got a rush of victory along with Serras, when her enemies finally knew her name, that I didn't really get in the original show. My point here is, Helsing Abridged is one of those parodies that actually works better, even as a standalone, than the original.
I do and I don't agree with you on this. Hellsing Ultimate has it's moments all be it not often when it has humor but being an anime that takes it self seriously these moments are generally not noticed and forgotten quickly. Hellsing Ultimate is supposed to be more of a thinking anime. HUA is supposed to drop the serious tone and make it more...casual while being funny. And the more serious parts are seen as better than before. Hellsing Ultimate is a special snowflake
oh baby work the shaft.
OBluestreak Z What? What are you doing?
it's a direct quote from Alucard when that one guy was complimenting him.
OBluestreak Z you obviously havent seen it in a while because thats what the dude says when alucard is saying that
OBluestreak Z Perhaps I should skip to the point
OBluestreak Z ...Excuse you?
The series is "art," yes.
Not merely in the ill-defined "anything can be art" sense that people use to clumsily praise otherwise forgettable works, but it is truly art in the original sense of the word: "That which requires mastery of certain skills to do well."
And the series is done well, done artfully.
I *LOVE* DBZ Abridged and Hellsing Ultimate Abridged!
One thing worth noting is that the guys at FUNimation also love those series. It's the original studios that seem to have something against Abridged Series. For example, there's a deleted scene from DBZ Kai that had the TFS cast as the actors for Hercule Satan's TV reenactment of the Cell Saga that was done by FUNimation, it would've been what they used if it wasn't for Toei who rejected it. I think that it's the Japanese studios that have something against Abridged Series, because a lot of them are prone to pull off some DMCA take downs on Western Fanworks just because they don't like it when others on the other side of the Pacific do something with their stuff, and they tend to be much less rational than Nintendo (who, as it turns out, had a more reasonable reason to take down AM2R than Federation Force (reason that I plan on buying today, btw)).
If you listen closely at the end you'll still hear Lani in Krillin's voice telling them to purchase it at the concession stand.
Reason why is because they haven't grasped how to use fan works as free advertising. Still have a very traditional mindset.
Also worth noting that other animation and video game studios have hired Team Four Star for voice work, which is itself a recognition of their talent.
To add my to bits Japan also has far different fair use laws and laws covering parodies. They do not care if it is legal in America or elsewhere they want to protect their property.
On a side note, apparently the creator of Dragonball is aware of Team Four Star and has no problem with what they are doing. It is apparently studios and the TV networks that are causing most of the issues.
I didn’t realize this needed an analysis, I saw the title and immediately blurted out “Because it’s funny?”
It has good editing, quality voice acting, unique character personalities and pop culture humor. End of story, don't need the video thanks.
"too bad your Blood-sugar daddy isnt here to see it!"
"Time to die" starts playing
"ooohhh Sheite.."
Man hellsing ultimate is hilarious! As is sword art online abridged it's nice to hear credit going to SWE they need to be more widely known!
I know this video is a few years old, but to clarify the last points that were made in this video: 1) TFS and Taka went through the same copyright issues as those other abridge channels and 2) it eventually wasn’t as frequent for TFS because Funimation actually did start paying them for making DBZA.
Why hellsing ultimate abridged works?
Cuz it's funny.
Sigma Anonymous cuz fuck you thats why
There are two Hellsings: first one is an old TV show, the other is the ultimate.
But where you see two, I see three.
The third one is of course being the abridged series.
Just clicked on a random 'recommended' video, but I have to agree with you. Hellsing Ultimate Abridged is one of the best things I've seen on RUclips, at least in the top 15.
Nothing gets you more hyped than Alucard going for a walk
In my social circle, who *hasn't* watched Hellsing Abridged?
I've rewatched it several times and even introduced a good friend of mine to it - who adored it so much, that he not only watched the official release, but became obsessed with the series perhaps even more than I was at the time.
Furthermore, at the appearance of the most recent episode, I myself have gotten back into this franchise and everything and anything to do with Alucard. I'm even reading Bram Stoker's Dracula religiously!
So yes, I think it's art, and I support it's production and its right to exist.
I recently found one of my coworkers love the Abridged and the series as well and we have this new guy that just isnt catching on so when we have a rush and hes about to strangle the kid he'll bump me on his way to get fries and mimic Alucards voice with "Im going for a walk" and we'll switch haha
Sarah Cuevas Haha! That's a wonderful co-worker you've got there! Quoting Hellsing Abridged with awesome people always makes your day better :)
And also, working in fast food always made me feel like "going for a walk" too haha X3
I definitely can't help but laugh. The code works the otherway too when i have to work with one of the ditzy girls. He has so much more patience for them than I do! Lol!
So glad I don't work with the customers. So many walks!
i must say, i’ve watched the original before the abridged ever came out and i wasn’t impressed. i couldn’t stand most of the main characters, especially Alucard. to me he was the poster child for “edge lord” and by then my young adult brain was to fed up with that trope i just couldn’t get past it.
The abridged fixed every issue i had. With a slight atmospheric change and an update of personalities it fixed all my original problems. Every sentence was filled with humor and many times i found myself in a fit of laugher. Some of my originally liked characters took a back seat for the rewritten Dracula, Madam Hellsing, even some of the bad guys, despite their atrocities, i couldn’t help but love. All in all, i think the abridged did a fantastic job with what they had and just like DBZA and SAOA, they made the series so much we better by a long-shot.
SAOA IS BY SOMETHING WITTY ENTERTAINMENT
When I saw the original, it was too serious for what it tried to show me. Nazi vampires and verewolfs? That's some Grindhouse shit! What, modern times crusaders with PTRD-halberds, immortal neko-being in nazi shorts... A Cyborg?! Why the hell he was a cyborg?!
And Abridged just speaks to me with "Yeah, yeah, that's some ultimate bullshit here, but hey, look, we've got more!"
Aand I like Rob Zombie.
Best Abridged series ever!!! Oh and great video Matt
I'm shocked that you didnt talk about how they rapidly ping pong back and forth between splaterpunk, comedic genius, and moments of genuine heart

the part that made me go fangirling is alucard's entrance i mean in the original series it wasnt much interesting or thrilling but abridged part gave a thrilling feel to it to those of you who hadnt watched hellsing go on the search box and type "hellsing abridged alucard's entrance" and you will be blown away after seeing how much better it is from the real one
Hellsing Abridged is a piece of art. The writing, the sound quality, the overall editing. Beautiful.
Your vids are underrated. Perfect pacing, good editing, and smooth speaking voice
I just wish more people recommended and watched the original one first.
Idk what's the problem with it, it's really good, it deserves praise too and it deserves to be watched as it is.
No matter how good the abridged version is, if you watch it first, then you'll get spoiled and the original one first impressions won't be the same, but if you do it the other way around, your impression of the abridged version won't be worse.
That and the song they made about Alexander Anderson is pretty fucking killer
What's your name, man?!
Hellsing Ultimate Abridged is a masterpiece. One of the best ones I have ever seen. No matter how many times I watch this it is always entertaining.
>Team Four Star popularized Abridge series
Not quite.
Abridging became super popular with Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh(more the latter); which would pave the way for others to follow, like Avatar the last air bender(TFS Member), Sailor Moon (TFS Member), Saiyuki reload, and in the more modern age, things like Miria Nikki, Sword art online (really good), and a few JoJo's(TFS Member).
I bring these things up because the creators of some of the older and more well known series, all joined the creators of Team Four Star (KaiserNeko, Lanipator, (Lupin and YuYu abridges respectively) and Takahata101 ) in what I think is a bit of funny dynamic shifting, since the oldest abridges are Yu-Gi-Oh and Naruto, and they most likely inspired TFS's creators to make their own abridges series in the first place.
FYI
Krowzer ehh I mean technically your right but I gotta say I don’t think abridging was “popular” until DBZA picked up. I say that because nothing came anywhere close to the views it got. Perhaps it’s unfair to grade on that kind of curve. Meh i dunno lol
Eric Hall True TFS made it popular, but TFS themselves acknowledge LittleKuriboh as the one who started and inspired the abridged series industry we have today. Isn't it worth giving a nod to the person who started it all?
There's a difference between "started" or "inspired" and "popularised". it's definitely worth crediting the people who did it (well) early on and inspired TFS, but it was definitely TFS who brought the idea into the public eye in a big way.
Other abridging was going on sure, but if it wasn’t for TFS, it wouldn’t be anywhere close to what it is now.
I keep on rewatching Hellsing Abridged when I got nothing to watch it's just so good I love it in everyway
This is definitely one of TFS' best works. They made a badass anime series into an amazing laugh fest. Watched a few episodes of the original anime because of this, as well.
This is what I like seeing on RUclips. Wholesome content analyzing hilarious series that I wouldn’t otherwise have thought of doing so.
The other week I saw someone analyzing Soviet Womble’s editing methods and it was great
Code ment: Hey buddy. yepp. is that a sub? no man didn't you read the caption it's a uvah- THE FUCK IS A UVAH!
Hellsing: Id like to play a card game with you. What we're talking 52 pickup?
Dragon Ball: mmmmuffin button.
None Piece: HOLY SHIT CODY you'l never believe this, they're filming the hangover 2 over here!. Oh yeah? how is it?. It's just like the first one "eyes are on fire"
I saw the "I've been waiting for you, Miller" scene out of context, went and watched Episode 7, and then just binged the whole series from there.
Another thing I will add is that TFS are masters of recontextualization. You can see it plenty in DBZA (especially once Mr. Perfect Cell enters the scene), but they took the naturally twisty plot of Hellsing and made it even better for it.
I love the fight with Rip Van Winkle and Alucard helping the souls out the best but I love the whole series. I always cry in the original anime/manga. I cant help it but thanks to Abridged I can watch it without that :)
Every time I hear Alucard speak in Hellsing Ultimate Abridged, I always think of Cell from DBZA...and it still works! The constant back and forth between the Vatican and the Hellsing Organization is absolutely EPIC, how they treat Her Majesty the Queen is hilarious, and how the Major just RUINS the Sound of Music for her near the end is just...PRICELESS!
Hell yeah it's art!!!
Hellsing Ultimate Abridged introduced me to the original anime, I am now obsessed, and I was very VERY glad that the abridged series did not spoil the ending of the original. It feels like the abridged series is like it's own anime, and they both have completely different points of view on the story. I cried when Alucard died on the original. And I laughed when he talked to Satan in the abridged. They are both truly works of art.
Honestly, anyone who protests against Abridged series should also be protesting against fanart and fanfiction. They're all the same. Using preexisting characters and/or designs to create a new piece of work. None of which takes away from the original content creator, and even promotes the original content.
I love the Abridged series from TFS and Something Witty. Not only that, I feel that the success of the show would have driven me to actually watch the original source material had I not watched it previously. Big corporations (and RUclips) don't seem to understand why and how people enjoy this and how it can promote them if properly used. You can argue the animators do not get "paid or credited" but first, everyone is credited, and many of these abridged shows DO do their own animation and editing. It's like taking a silent movie and dubbing your own audio, taking a book and rewriting the story, or taking a famous scene from a movie and recreating it with costumes and alternate dialogue. Fair Use has always been a slippery slope, but a majority in my opinion (that I have heard) have never been ofensively blatant about posting work as their own and changing enough to make it unique.
I love how hellsing ultimate abridged completely "revamped" the story (pun kinda intended) how they mixed up the flow of events while still keeping the original product in crisp condition. Character design was glorious, where like you said Alucard is "in the anime that is" a silent perfectionist who lives for others deaths, where "in the abridged" made into a "No verbal boundaries lovable shit talker" who makes stabs at the twilight saga, AND DESTROYS the Catholics with the "priests are pedophiles" jokes all while keeping the punchline the same, it's like them writing a joke 20 different ways, and ending in almost the exact same punchline. Seras, on the other hand in the anime, struggles with her humanity and vampiric instincts (granted the original hellsing did this MUCH better) and here she on the first episode, is like a little sister to alucard, where he annoys the shit out of her and messes with her while she's trying to work. Also the running joke in the abridged series with the "sexual harassment" in the hellsing house. It's all just....*muaw* excellent..
well I'm glad to see that abridged anime is taken so seriously. I was rewatching helssing again when I found the abridged version and I have to admit, I watch every.single.episode.of.it non stop instead of just rewatching the anime like I was planning to do...I really LOVED the humor, the voice acting and the characterization of the characters (and of course the musics and songs XDXDXD hilarious and badass at the same time) seriously, it was a really good work and now I'm gonna try watching another abridged anime they made because it's awesome!
Hellsing Ultimate Abridged is beautiful and I watched Hellsing and Hellsing Ultimate for the same reasons as you mate.
Hellsing Abridged is the only reason my husband even found out about Hellsing. And we binge watched it from then on. Now he's upset because there's no more episodes.
I’ve been watching the for the rest of my Freshman year. I’ve always thought it was the actual thing. But until I’ve found videos of the entire 10 episodes.
"Read it right or I'll shoot the other testicle" - Jan Valentine
Definitely art
I actually watched abridged before the actual anime and I actually was really impressed with both.
Not gonna lie, everything abridged TFS has made feels like a mini holiday every time that I've watched them. Anytime I see a new TFS, Hellsing, or even FF7 Abridged it makes my day and night on the spot. I can't really say that about anything else.
if you wanna watch an Attack on Titan abridged, a Slap on Titan is great.
pencil I wonder why they haven't made any new episodes recently. I love that series.
Lady Honeybee the voice actor for mikasa dies
Holy shit really?! That's horrible! I heard it was serious health issues but damn!
Not a Terrorist I’m calling bullshit. I haven’t been able to find any evidence that Memos died, or had health problems, or anything at all about her, really. She doesn’t have a social media presence. If she did pass away, I would’ve heard at least *something* about it via the A Slap on Titan social media accounts. But since there isn’t anything - and Tom Andre says on Twitter that he and a lot of the crew have been busy this year - I’m calling bullshit. Where’s your proof?
Lady Honeybee its been a year and a half since the last episode
I would just like to say to Kanashe, o have probably seen you across this videos comment section multiple times over the last couple of years, and I thank you for your dedication.
"Who seems to just love destroying things."
...Well... He does. It's just not as ridiculously displayed. xD
“Boondock…saints. Seriously you must watch that movie religiously. Hehe, get it?”
I remember watching this back in 2016, and was so excited to to finally finish it. One of my absolute favorites
It is. Alucard's twitter is an actual thing by the way. I can take a joke even though the Catholic jokes piss of the Former Catholic in me and the historian in me. I left the church from inconsistencies in different Diocese and Parishes having Priests who contradict each other and the Cataclysm. The system is good, but humanity corrupted it.
"Humanity Corrupted it" It always is isn't it, the number one human pastime is corruption.
Marikroyals To be fair, when doesn't humanity think about "optimizing" things to fit their own personal gain?
Just look at cows, which were bred specifically into giving much more milk than they used to, just for that reason.
Or those tiny dogs you can fit into your fucking pocket if you wanted to. They were just bred to be adorable, but they are FAR from healthy 24/7, because their tiny heads can barely contain their brains.
Bottom line: Humanity should just... not.
WHAT? Are you telling me that @thecrimsonfucker its ACTUALLY a thing? WHY I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THAT?
Honestly I loved the abridged series and it is also the reason I started watching the original
@Fluffy Bunny Twats like you shouldn't be even allowed to watch the original if you enjoyed this juvenile garbage.
It works because takahata101 made it ❤❤❤
no it was made by the crimson fucker Cell and because anyone who disagreed with them had to deal with Supreme Lord Popo
I remember a time when alucard was still stuck on a boat and every episode after wasn't uploaded yet.
Sad world we are living in when people regard the meme version of a masterpiece superior than its original counterpart.
“I’m not your mother last night!!!….and they too exception of that”
Seen it 1000 times and it still cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣
ooh, that's good shit, deeper than i thought.
i was just gonna say the absurdest/immature humor juxtaposes the dark morbidness and ultra violence.
but, then i realized that was done in the original as well in a way, mostly through Seras being the one little beacon of timid brightness amidst all the gore. there's other "classic anime" chibi stuff sprinkled in too to keep things from ever staying completely drab, but as someone who's not that into dark stories or gore, Seras stood out more consistently.
anyways abridged Integra is a fucking babe
They are good enough to get their own page on TV Tropes. They are good.
Why was he a cyborg though?!?
because *gunshot*
Because he didn't wanna become a vampire like Alucard or an artificial one, since he believed it would be giving up his will and humanity. Oh wait, I forgot that important part was removed for more retarded jokes so they can appeal to brainless neckbeards and kids.
I agree, me and my best friend absolutely live for this series. SO much of our humour now revolves around jokes we've heard in Hellsing Ultimate Abridged. It's genuinely the highlight of my year when a new episode comes out because aside from the comedy they just add so much depth to the series in general. It's absolutely spectacular what they've done.
"I'm just here doing my job! Killing Vampires and werewolves and leprechaun's! Never actually found one but you'd think if I cut one open with my knife it'd spill out lucky Charms?"
The 70-in plasma TV had me crying
Some of my favorite lines
"It suddenly reeks of hypocrisy"
"Oh if it is the Catholic church, and whats this? No little Timmy glued to your crotch? Progress!"
"The thing is, under any other circumstance, you would be right, but my boss is a woman, I was a chick in the 40s, and there is no one alive that can comprehend my sexuality"
So many golden nuggets.
it is simultaneously wildly divergent from and deeply respectful to the original work. they took it, found their own take on it, and ran with it - and it is a thing of beauty.
