Opinion on abridged shows?
All fan work is a conversation much like how genres are conversations, but Abridged Series work in a different way than fanfic or AUs or fan comics. They're remixed, or edited, footage. And that is a major constraint which dramatically shifts how you make them.
An abridged series by nature has to generally follow at least the basics of the plot for better or for worse. Dragonball Z Abrdiged is a celebration of the creator's love of the series; same for Unlimited Blade Works abridged. You can't get jokes about The Moon like hte one from Episode 6 without adoring the source material.
On the other hand, Sword Art Online Abridged clearly... had some faults with the source material that they felt could be corrected.
These conversations can happen in fic, like when I had Uraraka ask if One For All would kill her in What it Means to Be a Hero and All Might responded with how ridiculous of an idea that was, but an abridged series is having this discussion all the time by the inherent nature of the work.
They're fascinating!

Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13 Abridged Review
Originally posted August 4th, 2016
Team Four Star shows off their effortless mastery of clever comedy.
Tumblr media
On a purely structural level, Super Android 13 is probably the strongest of the Dragonball movie source material that Team Four Star has yet to work with. The androids themselves don’t require any convoluted explanation; they’re just the leftover scraps Dr. Gero has to rely on now that Android 17 and 18 have turned against him, and they kickstart the conflict immediately by attacking Goku in a public place, forcing our heroes out into the arctic to deal with them (which for all of Trunks’ mumbling, is a nice change of scenery from the usual desert wasteland).
These androids are a real threat too, forcing Goku, Trunks, and Vegeta to all go Super Saiyan in order to defeat them, only to find out that even a Super Saiyan can’t stand up to the fully powered Android 13. The conclusion to this fight is excellent as well, with Goku defeating 13 through a creative combination of his two most powerful abilities, rather than simply “punching him harder.”
Team Four Star even manages to avoid the stereotypical characterization of the villains used in these movies, imbuing each of the antagonists with a personality that goes beyond “the one with an accent,” “the one with a weird power,” and “the dumb one.” Android 15 is an homage to protagonists of classic Blaxploitation, walking, talking, and fighting with a near Super Saiyan level of swagger as he drinks himself into oblivion to numb the hollowness inside. Android 14 on the other hand is a quiet, introspective warrior, who from what we see seems to simply be trapped in the wrong crowd.
Both of these characters have fitting ends as well, with 15 being taken down by the prince of Saiyan swagger and utterly humiliated in the process, as Vegeta throws a dog treat at him right before he explodes. 14’s end is fitting as well, as he and Trunks clash and he realizes his impending doom, ending his life by observing that metal has both given him life and taken it away.
Tumblr media
Android 13, the primary antagonist, is fairly shallow by comparison. After all, there’s not too much more to him than a funny southern accent, an obsession with trucker hats, brute strength, and a little outright racism.1 It’s not exactly a deep character, especially when compared to the depth Team Four Star has achieved with characters like Cooler (who originally was literally just Freeza by a less clever name).
There is a part of me that feels it would be unfair to southerners to not criticize this shallow portrayal of their culture, but honestly, I had too much fun watching it to really care. RicePirate’s performance is incredibly charismatic, and even though 13 is shallow and kind of terrible, you can’t help but be endeared to him a little. KaiserNeko’s editing and sound design certainly helps here as well, as he makes sure that watching 13 beat the shit out of our protagonists is fun and impactful.
The rest of the movie’s strengths are pretty simple: Team Four Star jam packs these twenty minutes full of really smart jokes, making nods to the fraught relationship Vegeta and Trunks have when it comes to androids, joking about the length of time it takes the Saiyans to actually go Super, and poking fun at themselves in a series of brilliant fourth wall breaks at the end, wherein a narrator walks out and another steps in to criticize the lack of effort he’s perceived in the series since season 2. He may well have a point, not because Team Four Star has gotten lazy in season 3, but because they pull of making Super Android 13 so entertaining, compelling, and funny that it looks absolutely effortless.
Rating: 4.5/5

Stray Observations
113’s racism is actually kind of interesting, given that he calls out our protagonists for thinking 15’s defect is his color, but talks down to Piccolo later on due to his color. I’m not quite sure what it says about him, but it’s definitely the most nuanced part of his portrayal.
No quotes in the Strays today, just because this episode is so chock full of funny dialogue that quoting everything I like would fill up a full page.

Childe: Wait a damn minute, something’s wrong here.
Paimon: Huh?
Childe: Back in Liyue, the Traveler could barely stand up to me just using a Delusion, but here he is now taking on Signora at full power!
Paimon: So what do you think happened?
Childe: Well, either the Foul Legacy wore me out so bad I’m in a delusional coma, or…
Paimon: Or…?
Childe: POWER LEVELS ARE BULLSHIT!

TAMAKI: I... I don't think I can do this! He's so much stronger, and it's all my fault! It was my cowardice, then my hubris, and now my weakness! We're all gonna--
MIRIO: Tamaki, I want to tell you, that if you don't do this, Fatgum's is gonna die. Red Riot is gonna die. Everyone is gonna die. But before all that, If you don't do this... you're gonna die. And you're better than that! You're better than him! You're better than me! (Tamaki gasps and puts more power into Manifest, which now give him the advantage)
VILLAIN: Whoa, Nelly!
MIRIO: See? I'm not even close to that strong... yet. You're more than just my best friend. You are Suneater! Now, plant your feet. Grit your teeth. And EAT... THAT... HORSE!
