Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series

Yu-gi-oh The Abridged Series, created by a lone man in England, will make you laugh. It never failed for me, an intriguing spin on a fairly uninteresting anime, with a great sense of humour, and many interesting voices that develop as the series goes on. This fairly satirical parody series will cause you to look at series' such as Yu-Gi-Oh in a whole different light; the series is great for all members of the family, with the possible exception of those under 11, and will give many memorable lines for years to come. The variety in the characters is expanded even more with the bonus episodes, such as "Evil Council Of Doom", and the incredible talent of LittleKuriboh, and occasionally, his distinguished guests. In addition to the main series, both seasons of it, you'll love the miniature songs that LK has written, copying the sounds, and changing the lyrics of various other songs. These include current songs, and slightly older ones, but all use a character voice, and either talk about his series, the original series, or the characters themselves. Overall, this series is something that nobody can truly afford to give a miss, if you haven't watched it yet, go over to youtube and do so now, you won't regret it.

This YouTube series is the original abridged series and remains the best. It satirises the Yu-Gi-Oh! show by pointing out all of its ridiculous plot holes while also adding its own humour and storylines. It's incredibly funny and I loved it.

This is the best series ever, for starters. It hits on all of the key points of the series, for example, how can Kaiba climb up the side of a cliff with a briefcase. The quotes are amazing to, like Tristan's "No matter what happens the sun will come up in a few hours." or "My voice, it gives me super strength.". Tristan says almost anything and it's funny. I think it sticks to the plot quite well. This series has many fans, and would all agree if I said that this is the best abridged series ever. I can spend fifteen hours watching it (and I have). I love this series because of all the humor. As I have said before, this series points out all the things that don't make since in the normal series. I really recommend watching it, you will not regret it.

I really like the way this show mocks anime and the who Yugioh franchise. I also like the way it makes out like 4Kids is an evil corporation, trying to the the Abridged series canceled. The catch phrases of the characters are well done and I often use them in real life. The one this that does not make sense about this page, however, is the there is no mention of LittleKuriboh in the voice actors, considering he is a main voice actor, anyhow....One of my favorite things about this show is the constant references to other shows, movies and games that makes it just that much more funny. Overall this is an excellent spoof that I recommend to everyone, even if they don't watch Yugioh

Starting from basic editing, Martin Billany basically made this parody be a mere carbon-copy of late-night adult swim parody series of their own and basically made it a parody of itself. His comedic writing ranges from tasteless mean spirited and at times humorous especially when trying to pull references from all over the net and fandom to keep the series going. Calling him a legend or this series better than the actual show in my eyes is exaggerated. It's cute but a lot of the time I felt like it was more of a spit-take series to the original property than a love letter.

If you're a fan of the Yugioh series or just like to laugh, feel free to give it a watch but try not to take this series too seriously. The voice acting is fine and the editing is excellent but the writing feels almost like it's trying to be its own South Park as opposed to a parody of the actual Yugioh show itself. Martin may be a fan of Yugioh, but his this internet show definitely fails to show it especially when he takes way too much pleasure in putting down support characters with Seto Kaiba as his mouth piece while Yugi and his alter ego Yami have become stale and one note.

I do however give him props for continuing this series despite the legal and copyright issues he'd had to go through just to keep it uploaded.
