Calwings 02/16/18 9:05:04 AM #1:	https://twitter.com/KaiserNeko/status/964323431490703360 Straight from one of the co-founders of TeamFourStar. The multi-part finale of the Cell Saga could potentially be where DBZ Abridged ends. "Sorry to say, but circumstances change." he added in a later tweet responding to a fan asking about the Buu Saga, but he didn't (or possibly couldn't) elaborate further. DBZ Abridged deserves some credit for helping the Dragon Ball franchise stay relevant with fans during the gap before DB Super was released. If this is really the end of the series, it had one hell of a run. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" http://i.imgur.com/qPTwHx6.jpg <cite>Calwings posted [p:896190268] in DBZ Abridg...

Funkydog 02/16/18 9:14:04 AM #8:	They even got to voice the "play" of Hercule beating Cell, in the buu arc for kai. Until Toei made funimation pull it :( Several of them even voice characters in the various DB games, and they are all on very good terms with the funimation team in general and some of the VA themselves. They have had an undeniable influence on keeping DB popular in the west, but Toei is Toei and refuses to cash in on this and scream like a child against them so really just surprised they lasted this long. They have also moved into official dubbing as well now, and the reality is if they want to be a proper and official "thing" (whatever that thing may be) they can't be constantly facing off against Toei. It sucks, but.. at least we got all this free entertainment so far? --- http://i.imgur.com/BGbZK.gif <cite>Funkydog posted [p:896190603] in DBZ Abridg...

Veggeta_EDGE 02/16/18 9:18:08 AM #13:	PUHLEASE. Dragon Ball is arguably the most popular manga/anime of all time both in Japan and around the world, and is considered the pioneers of the genre. Shows like Naruto and One Piece would not be anything without Dragon Ball. During the end of DBZ the show was still heavily relevant to the world.

Steve Nick 02/16/18 9:19:43 AM #15:	The problem with DBZA is that they drastically increased the production values over time meanwhile running out of material. It's easy to make your first few episodes. Just make it quick and dirty with lots of cheap jokes. But by the end, they had quality video editting and voiceovers, and they tried to go way too into detail with everything. --- This is my signature. <cite>Steve Nick posted [p:896190808] in DBZ Abridg...

In some small way, maybe, but I'm not going around trumpeting it. TFS, to their credit, maintains a similar stance of humility.

Its main audience just consists of hardcore DBZ fans. The only FUNimation decided to hire them for some minor shit was to appeal to these hardcore fans.

LordFarquad1312 02/16/18 9:38:21 AM #34:	Anyone arguing DBZA kept the interest for the series on the west might as well limit it to just the US. Latin America recieves a yearly flux of DB merchandise, ever since it started airing, and would often get a 2 hour block from 5pm to 7pm in Mexico.

Why are people acting like helping something stay popular means it's the only reason it stayed popular? You guys must have been a Nightmare when Waynes World came out.
