Hello peoplez. Me and a couple friends have been working hard on creating an abridged series for Dragonball Evolution and if you're interested in voicing a character or two, please audition. We really only need a Chi Chi, Sifu Norris, and Fuller right now but you never know, another roll might pop-up. Anyways, thought that I should let you guys know.

Teaser.
Auditions.

First episode is being edited as we speak.

Hey Hello hello! I already welcomed you in PM but again - WELCOME! Smile

Thank you for joining us! and thanx for the nice idea and opportunity, I am really looking forward to it(BUT ONLY if it's a negative parody on DBE, not the positive one where fans just joke around and actually love thing that they're parodying like DB abridged Wink).

So I am happy and excited to hear about this and I hope that Dragon Ball Abridged will be both helpful and fun for us DB fans Chibi Goku

If we conclude that DBE Abridged is a direct parody on DBE with no sympathy for it, I'm right away gonna put it in the news section! so please if you have some time let me know about it more specifically.



P.S.
Teaser rocks! and especially Audition Goku! lol! cheers

I would like to say no, this will not be a negative abridged. Do you know why? It'll suck badly. It wont be funny and it wont be original. We're abridging this with as little bias as we can. No side, just thinking of the situation, making jokes relating to the situation, we ain't here to bash, and we ain't here to promote the movie either.

Anyways, a promo clip is being uploaded it'll be featured on http://dbthemovie.com (and if you want, the portal page here, it'd really help promote it) so yeah, to get instant updates:
www.twitter.com/mrgenkidama

Thanks!

Edit: Though we will be poking fun at some fails in the movie.

^Hmmm now this changes things a lot...

Well to me its important that its not supporting DBE, I guess that's what I meant to say.

If it is then sorry but we will not promote it nor support it.
And being promoted on dbthemovie.com makes me even more oppose to it, as they were time our virtual enemies since long time ago, having the opposite goal of ours.
Hope you understand, just wanna stay clear.

It isn't supporting it, it isn't protesting it. We wont be like "GO SEE IT BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME" nor will we be like "PROTEST THE SHIT OUT OF THIS MOVIE" that's exactly why we wont be posting it on just on site. We'll poke fun of it, but we wont just saying, every five seconds "WOW, THIS IS STUPID AS SHIT! WHY IS GOKU WHITE?" or "ANYONE WHO ENJOYED THIS MOVIE IS A LOSER" because that's hostile garbage that immature babies spew.

We're here to make friends with everyone, if you're a fan of any Dragonball, we're a friend. That doesn't mean we thought Dragonball Evolution was good, we know it needed tons of work.

dbthemovie.com has both haters and supporters (some of the front page comments are negative) and it's an audience we must have, so you can understand why we need their support too.

Hope I cleared that up.

Dear good the voice of Kami from DBZ abridged would work so fucking well. On the other hand, I have my particular view of how you should make him sound. To bad I suck and therefor don't have recording equipment.

Also, double posting for great justice

You abridging this will automatically be making fun of it because it sucks to much NOT to use for the series. Just saying.

Yup, that's me, I'm Hobo. I thought the MOVIE itself was OK, it wasn't Dragonball at all, I don't think it raped my childhood that's all. But I'm not trolling you, don't you point your finger at me! I'm just trying to find an audience, not trying to start anything. That's why I didn't bring it up! I didn't bring it up man, you did. I just want to make some friends and have fun fan-dubbing this.

Calm down. ^_^

We tend to be paranoid sometimes. If you seriously think it was a good movie, then fine, it's on you.

At least you agree it wasn't Dragon Ball. That much we ask of people that make accounts here.

You joining here if are for the movie completely is just plain nonsense really.

It wasn't Dragonball. It bared, basically no resemblence to Dragonball whatsoever. I am pissed at Fox that they screwed up this version of Dragonball-- BUT... and it's a big but, I couldn't help myself having fun at the movie. Since I wasn't expecting it to be Dragonball, I didn't nitpick at everything. I laughed when there was a joke and then I also laughed when it wasn't supposed to be a joke (so the whole movie). I enjoyed the short as hell final fight and overall, the movie granted me entertainment and fun. Allbeit, B-Movie entertainment and fun.

Anime Goku wrote:He thinks it was a good movie?.. Don't we ask for people who utterly hate the movie,actors, and everything about it?
Honestly, I like Justin Chatwin. He was good in Invisible and we would've made a good Goku with another script and director. Emmy and Jamie were pretty attractive, so no complaints there. Roshi wasn't very... good. So that sucked. James did good enough for the little he was in it. I blame the Fox suits, the director, writer, editors, etc.

They failed. Anyways, I'm not trying to bring this up anymore. Just wanted to clean thea ir between us. =D

But you need to get a better audio mixer. The sounds need to over put themselves more.

And the guy that voiced Fuller, should he have any other role, needs to get better recording equipment.

Tsk, tsk. I personally think you're trying to start trouble. In no way, shape, or form, does this support or protest DBE. It's just for fun. Did you see us put a "Please support the official release" like Team Four Star does? Nope. We're going to be making fun of Evolution more than we are going to do anything else, believe me.

Well that's great to hear, but its just weird how you LIKE and support DBE itself as a movie...I mean when you hate it as a Dragon Ball, how you like it as a movie? I'll never understand that?
That's EXACTLY the same as you'd hate some person for being thief/murder but liking him as a person...:S

That's the SAME person and you can't literally hate him and love him in the same time...same for this movie - that's the SAME ENTITY whether you call it a MOVIE or ADAPTATION.

I don't think that is actually the same. The line of thought is the same, but it's not the same. You can't deepen things to this extent. It's a movie.
