Berserk Abridged Talkback

Post by hbi2k »

I've posted some of these in the AMV thread, but psi suggested I give them their own thread, so that's what I'm doing. I'm up to twelve episodes so far, plus one comment special, and posting new episodes on roughly a biweekly basis. Although there are the occasional long delays between episodes... hey, Berserk fans should be used to long delays by now. (-:

1: The Glorious Introduction and Shameful Demise of the Society for Creative Anachronism
[gvideo]8360505495771175638[/gvideo]

2: If You're Going to Cosplay, Do It With All Your Heart
[youtube]KWXNEmzOz8o[/youtube]

3: Confidentially, Yes, We DID Start the Fire
[youtube]lruJK2-MiH0[/youtube]

4: Guts is a Cheeky Monkey
[youtube]VfG8pXa1JNY[/youtube]

5: The Burger King Tells Me to Kill
[youtube]-VWZI6Je3-Y[/youtube]

6: In-A-Zodd-A-Da-Vida, Baby
[youtube]kU6hTFVKFp4[/youtube]

7: E = MC Douchebag
[youtube]LHlJxIW9l9U[/youtube]

8: Discussing the Lord with a Man and His Sword
[youtube]QZNRuCjJlfI[/youtube]

8.5: Zodd and Phil's Holiday Comment Special Spectacular
[youtube]MEaxzQTWPV8[/youtube]

9: Name That Tune!
[youtube]lhU5wOa0GCc[/youtube]

10: Proper Condom Use
[youtube]uqnjOojQz-8[/youtube]

11: And I'll Form the Head!
[youtube]_9VEb_pwvrQ[/youtube]

12: There's No Massage Parlour Episode, Ya Dumb Cracka
[youtube]Tod1MnJnRmg[/youtube]

Some of the early ones (particularly the first one, which I can barely watch any more without cringing) move kind of slow, but bear with it. (-:

Comments, criticism, and suggestions are, of course, always welcome.

Dude its great work. You took the things I thought about in making a berserk comedy style and did it. Can't really complain about any of it... only the fact that its going to end when you run out of episodes.

Really awesome work, you did a great job with this. But for some reason, when I try to watch numbers 9 through 12, there's no sound. Is this a problem with my computer (I don't think so, since 1 through 8 work fine, but I could be wrong) or something with the episodes themselves?

Weird-- never had that problem. But if anyone ever has any technical problems with the YouTube version, I do post all the episodes roughly simultaneously on DailyMotion as well.

So you can always try those instead. I figure this way I'm covered just in case my eps start getting taken down all the time like so many other abridged series.

Well, they seem to work fine now, so it was probably just my computer throwing a minor fit. Sorry.

Ha! It was only a matter of time. (-: I replaced the embedded video with a link to the DailyMotion version for now; I should have an embeddable Google Video version up before too long.

Edit: Google Video of episode one is up; let me know if any more go down and I'll re-upload them.

These are fantastic, you don't even need to watch the real anime...well maybe, but it's practically the same thing, just funnier. I'll be very sad when you reach the end of the series.

That's the most absurd thing I've heard in a long time. Did you even watch/read the real series?

Fixed. That's what you meant to say, isn't it? (-:

Nah, that still doesn't cut. No offense, but your abbridged series here is no substitue for the Berserk anime. Some of it's funny, though some of its corney too. You know, how many gay Griffith jokes have I heard before? Heh, but it's still fun stuff, so it's all good. ;)

Ask and you shall receive! I made this as a response to Lanipator's call for demon-related videos to fill out DTV's schedule. (Lanipator is the creator of Yu Yu Hakusho: The Abridged Series and a card-carrying member of the Abridged Creator Mutual Admiration Society.)

Hey, I heard something you stole from Zapp Branigan in Futurama: In episode 5 when the hawks attack the supply base someone says "Stop dying, you cowards".

It's still funny, keep it up.

Busted. (-: I could try to use the "it's not plagiarism, it's an homage!" defense, but we'd all know that that's crap so I won't. (-:
