Ia, Shub-Niggurath!

[LittleKuriboh]

Hold your applause!

I know it seems crazy, but yes, I actually managed to update with a new episode in just over a week. You can view it on our episodes page (http://www.yugiohtheabridgedseries.com/episodes/), or at the top of the screen. Be warned, you may laugh so hard you die of asphyxilation.

I don't know if this is a sign of things to come or not. I can't promise to update this frequently all the time, but it would be nice. It just seemed as though the stars were aligned just right this time.

So yeah, feel free to make a sacrifice to the Elder Gods in a vain attempt to make Episode 35 come along faster.

[Seraphim]

Congratz!

[RebornZombie]

Has anyone else noticed these last two episodes have had big black bars on the sides?

[sajeev50]

Twas hilarious, I was wondering how you would make Joey become Steve. xD

[GoldenUmi]

Wow, I can't believe we have two episodes in one week. I'm impressed. Interesting twist on the plot you had there, alot of the stuff I wasn't expecting, lol. Now let's see, the next episode should be the one with joey and yugi fighting, since im sure you wont spend a whole episode doing flashbacks. :D

[Mullon]

Is the faster episode making have anything to do with the way the mouths move faster?

[LittleKuriboh]

Is the faster episode making have anything to do with the way the mouths move faster?

If anything, that makes it slower to produce...

The mouths are more in sync with the dialogue now.

[Gams]

The last episode was actually kinda disappointing, but this episode was 70% awesome, 30% Bear Grills.

[havefun]

2 episodes in 1 week = EPIC WIN

[Shadowcross]

Ph'nglui Mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn

[Titan50]

Nice one

[LittleKuriboh]

Ph'nglui Mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn

Gesundheit.

[moo102]

Yami doesn't remember "the heart of the cards"??! INCONCEIVABLE!!! :eek:

I loved the ending. "Dammit, I wanted the window seat."

You didn't explain why Mokuba wanted to save Yugi's friends, though. I mean, even Seto (the biggest jerk of all the 'good guys') had a reason to save Yugi's friends in the original version. O.o

Not that I'm angry or anything. I'm just saying.

[pirhomaniac]

Wanker's cramp, the most deadly of British diseases!

[GoldenUmi]

Well I'm just guessing here, but judging from my own work experience we are in the slower parts of the year where often times workers get slightly less hours at their jobs. Thus, perhaps it is simply a matter of LK just has a little more time to work on the episodes compared to back in December when he was in Christmas/New Years hell. Just a guess though.

But really, I really wish people wouldn't post things such as the episode was disappointing, etc. Because I'm sure that's not what LK needs to be reading to produce more episodes >>

[YoshiYoko]

Whewt! Another great episode LittleKuriboh.

I think I got Wanker's Cramp from laughing so much.
...in America. :3

Well, he might not need to hear it, but what's the point of getting feedback if people don't say that they didn't like an episode to 'spare his feelings'? Not that I'm supporting the people who just say an episode was 'disappointing'- if you don't like it, then at least say what was 'disappointing' about it!

Well, you do have a point there I suppose. But as you said, instead of just complaining, these people should at least comment on what they didn't like to LK can take these things into consideration. Whether or not he actually changes something is up to him, but at least he'd probably think about it. I just meant that if people complain too much, then that LK would be discouraged to make another video, or at least at a quicker pace.

[LittleKuriboh]

People can say whatever they like about the episodes.

[Rydonmower]

LK, you didn't take that name-changing gag from the user suggestion forum, did you?
Becuase I had a post in there that was very similar to what you used.
Also, who sung the intro?
Thanks in advance.

[JesusRocks]

This sacrifice you speak of, would you like meat, virgins, blood or any mixture of the three?

I don't read the user suggestions. Sorry.

And I sung the intro.

[Supertigy]

I'm not quite sure why I liked the Konami hates UD joke so much, but it's one of the few things in the series that's made me actually laugh. It seems like the series has been using too many memes which were never funny in the first place, as of late. Refreshing to have a joke that pretty much only exists within the YGO community.

[Titan50]

I SAID IT WAS GOING TO BE MALIK! I SAID IT AND IT CAME TRUE! HA, FUCK YOU, PEOPLE WHO SAID "DEFINITELYNOTMARIK"!!!!!









Okay, I'm done

[LittleKuriboh]

I SAID IT WAS GOING TO BE MALIK! I SAID IT AND IT CAME TRUE! HA, FUCK YOU, PEOPLE WHO SAID "DEFINITELYNOTMARIK"!!!!!

That would've been a rehash of the Alexander Brisbane gag.

Not that I'm averse to rehashing my own material, or anything. :)

[Cegem]

So yeah, feel free to make a sacrifice to the Elder Gods in a vain attempt to make Episode 35 come along faster.

Quick somebody get a Fog Machine, a staff with a chicken head on and a guy named Billy, I have the perfect plan!

Really?

No wonder you didn't want to do a musical episode... No offense or anything. :p

The funny thing is, though, you didn't sound like a bad singer when you were singing as Yami... XD

[ha4pbl]

Awesome episode, time to watch heroes L8r's

[JesusRocks]

The episode was awesome.

I'm particularly impressed with the speed of its release ^_^

:/ although it had to be when I was away

[QuirkBiscuits]

The whole Malik thing was hilarious. And Tea's epic cardboard box escape plan. And "God damn it, I wanted the window seat!" should not have been as funny as it was.

[JesusRocks]

Most of that episode shouldn't have been as funny as it was... but it was that funny... we'll just have to live with it >_>

[Tarasaur]

Was that a Wilhelm Scream in there somewhere? lol XD

[LittleKuriboh]

Was that a Wilhelm Scream in there somewhere? lol XD

Yup.

[slifertheskydragon]

we offer the head of slifer, the executive producer in the hopes for wincakes.

[GoldenUmi]

People can say whatever they like about the episodes.

So he has spoken.

I also laughed at the ending line about the window seat. Sometimes lines like that used to end an episode are the funniest, even if they aren't really funny. Strange how that works.

So LK, I'm guessing you used your advice on voices from the "Youtube101" video to make Umbra's high-pitched voice? Either that, or your voice range is even more incredible than I thought.

[LittleKuriboh]

Pretty much. Though I defy anybody else to try and recreate Err's voice without the use of filters.

[Fat1Fared]

good episode, and did well, to show how meaningless a filler it was in real show

going to be interesting to see what you do with next one and whole Yuki, V Joey Mind-slave thing

PS=Like fact used a simple idea for Mind slaving, a MGS joke never fails to get a laugh and also like that Mokuba, says "K-thanks" instead of Kiaba

Why did you decide to sing the intro?

[JesusRocks]

The sung intro was epic like when futurama did it...

[darkarcher]

Well, I introduced my roommate to YGOTAS with this episode, and he thinks it's hilarious. Keep up the good work.

[LittleKuriboh]

Why did you decide to sing the intro?

Just wanted to do something different. I like doing different things with the opening song, though it seems to freak people out sometimes when they think I'm making a permanent change.

[berober04]

do the whole song and mp3 it for us!

[Mullon]

If anything, that makes it slower to produce...

The mouths are more in sync with the dialogue now.

Huh, I thought you were doing that as a shortcut.

[JesusRocks]

Also

True, I think anybody would freak out if someone had a voice like that in real life.

Out of curiosity, was it also you in the background making the drum-like noises, or did you have someone else doing that? I think it was a unique way to start off the episode, since the Kaiwata song can get worn out if used too many times, just like anything else. (Even if it was still the Kaiwata song being sung)

[LittleKuriboh]

Huh, I thought you were doing that as a shortcut.

But... They sync up now.

If anything, it'd be a short cut if they didn't.

[pleasantview]

just wondering if teja is going change her name to Steve too beacause that would be .....

[Phlip]

Oh my God, this is as amazing as Jesus resurecting again!!!

You have no idea how much I loved this episode!!!

[moo102]

Pretty much. Though I defy anybody else to try and recreate Err's voice without the use of filters.
Helium.


Weird, I didn't notice the Wilhelm scream until it was pointed out. I thought it sounded familiar, though. XD

[Zapheil]

What happened to your iTunes podcast? It suddenly disappeared soon after this episode was added. Please tell me it will be back up soon or it will make me sad!

[SpectrumWarriorB]

The acapella version of the Kawaita song... Any chance your making a reference about the Warner Music Group muzzling the videos; silencing them? Also, do you intend to bring the 'Stevenites' back for the next Marik's Evil Council of Doom video? And as for the loss of the iTunes column, are you intending to pass the torch to Masako & Vegeta, or Megami33 (of Sailor Moon Abridged), or... whoever? If you're passing said torch, then what is the reason you're thinking of?

[LittleKuriboh]

That's a heck of a reach, but I won't pretend it didn't cross my mind that I could go an entire episode without using song gags and then have some kind of caption that said "See? No licensed music! You can't do a thing to me!"

Also, do you intend to bring the 'Stevenites' back for the next Marik's Evil Council of Doom video?

It had crossed my mind.

And as for the loss of the iTunes column, are you intending to pass the torch to Masako & Vegeta, or Megami33 (of Sailor Moon Abridged), or... whoever? If you're passing said torch, then what is the reason you're thinking of?

Um. What torch would that be?

And how does iTunes come into it?

[Raulst]

Ahhh, a new episode!!! I love this one immensely more than the last one. Thank you for the quick update!

Now I don't feel like studying for my test tomorrow.

[YamiNoah]

Hey what happened to the podcast
i was just about to download the newest episode
is it gonna be back up?

[SpectrumWarriorB]

Um. What torch would that be?

And how does iTunes come into it?

Sorry. I meant to say pass the baton, as in 'Passing the baton to the next best abridged series on iTunes'. Around personal opinion, I'm thinking it would be SMA.

[Seraphim]

Ahhhhhh, how fun it is to see the n00bs jump to conclusions with new and alien things in the series.

[Mullon]

But... They sync up now.

If anything, it'd be a short cut if they didn't.

No no no, what I meant was that I thought you were speeding up the original animation of the people talking assuming that they did not move that fast in the original animation). That way you could have them say as much as they want and the mouths would be moving so fast that no one would notice that the voices did not match up ith the way the lips moved. All you had to do was make sure they stopped at the same time.
...Unless you were trying to make sure the voices sync with the fast mouths.
...
Hey, is that the time? I have to go.

[Zapheil]

Sorry. I meant to say pass the baton, as in 'Passing the baton to the next best abridged series on iTunes'. Around personal opinion, I'm thinking it would be SMA.


It might be SMA, if they had updated in the last YEAR, which they have not. Unlike LK here, though then again, his podcast is off now... Dragonball Z Abridged, now there's the new best on iTunes, if LK is off for good.

[YamiNoah]

i found this on LK's live journal:

4th-Mar-2009 06:13 am - Technical Issues

For those of you wondering what happened to our iTunes podcast, we're as confused as you are. We have people working on the problem though.

[LittleKuriboh]

Yeah.

[Anixe]

"Snaaaaake Eateeeeeeer!" Awesome eppy, LK. Again. Hmm.

[redpheonix]

Its one of my new faves. its a positively wonderful episode!

[beatlesgirl95]

all i can say is I can't wait until you do the Yugi VS Joey duel... I am sure that its gonna be epic!

[DMCrocks]

(i haven't see anybody make this connection to an allusion in episode 34, but maybe cause it was obvious; when Lumis and Umbra are saying that : "I say what, what" "in the butt" joke, it's from South Park when Butters is doin a video for youtube. just thought i'd put this out there if anybody was interested. and i could be wrong, maybe someone did see this allusion, i just didn't read every post on the forum to see if it had been, so sorry if i repeated old news.)

right so this is one of the best, awesome episodes yet! can't wait for the next one, Little Kuriboh! crazy awesome!

and it is weird that the animators wouldn't have realized that kaiba's nose was bigger than usual. would that have been the japanese animators that drew it in the first place's fault or would it have been 4kids' fault for overlooking it or something?

Wow, that's one episode of South Park I haven't seen. Thanks for the info.

And about the nose, my god, that was one thing really funny in the video because it's true. I never paid much attention to it, but that shot always bothered me in the past. Now I realize why. As annoying as 4Kids are, you can't blame them for it, it would be the original Japanese animators who drew it. Though, 4Kids never really needed a reason to cut out shots or edit things, since they do it left and right. Though could you imagine how bad his nose would look with a 4Kids edit and redraw?

Wow, that is completely wrong. The "What what (in the butt)" song was an internet meme long before it's appearance in South Park. They were the ones making the allusion. Here is the link to the music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbGkxcY7YFU

(Does a song that is about anal sex count as NSFW? Maybe it is.)

yes have seen ^_^

And even later on, the characters look really strange. Near the end of the Battle City Tournament, Yami looks like he has a low monobrow for several episodes! It makes him looks nearly as bad as Marik on a motorbike. Nearly.

There are places during the Doma arc and Grand Championship arc where the animation gets really sloppy, too. It annoys me.

Well, at the very least it's better than the 4Kids One Piece dub.
And it gives Little Kuriboh yet another thing to ridicule!

You sir, fail at life.
FUNimation sucks

[Zapheil]

You sir, fail at life.
FUNimation sucks

FUNimation kept a gun a gun. 4Kids turned it into a wacko hammer. 4Kids also believes that bleeding is not possible and that strong, true emotions are silly things to have. And that they could make a bloody pirate anime into a show for little kids.

FUNimation pwns 4Kids.

[GoldenUmi]

Whoever says Funi sucks needs to have their facts straightened out. At least they deliver Anime in its proper form, not a bunch of garbage with remade music and completely off the wall editing/rewriting like 4Kids gives us. Sure, I don't agree with all Funi does in the One Piece dub or other series, but if anyone says 4Kids are better, they are sadly mistaken.

Besides, how does animation relate to 4Kids or Funimation? They have nothing to do with it. Blame the animators for the crappy art/animation in the 4th/5th season. In fact, where did the debate come from anyway? It sort of just popped up.

Wow, is 35 really out already? Can't watch it right now, but I will certainly later! Who made sacrifices?

[maisetofan]

Um yes this is true, but remember that in One peice, a cigarette was turned into a lollipop WTF was with that????

[Khajmer]

Am I the only one terrified? I mean, three episodes in this short a time span? Surely it must be a sign of the apocalypse!

[TPishek]

In that case, I am completely looking forward to the apocalyse. :D

[Zapheil]

Um yes this is true, but remember that in One peice, a cigarette was turned into a lollipop WTF was with that????

I'm pretty sure only 4Kids did that.

And I also look forward to the apocalypse! Keep up the amazing work, Little Kuriboh!

[GoldenUmi]

Um yes this is true, but remember that in One peice, a cigarette was turned into a lollipop WTF was with that????

That was 4Kids doing, not Funimation. In their edited tv version they removed the cigarette (which is a much more sensible edit). They also are releasing uncut versions. If 4Kids continued making proper uncut versions (and the ones they made for YGO sucked), then I would probably have a higher opinion of them. But sadly, they are satisfied with their crap.

[Blitzkrieg0811]

im sure you wont spend a whole episode doing flashbacks. :D

Oh, the irony :)

[Apple]

Oh, the irony :)

:P a new meaning to the word teheeee
