Writer’s block has struck, so I’ll write a short article about the popular Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. Created and almost entirely voiced by Little Kuriboh, this spoof is a sharp and clever jab at both its premise and 4Kids’ horrendous butchering of the show, but everything else in popular culture is fair game too. As the title says, each episode is abridged from the original 24 minutes to anywhere from 5 to 9 minutes in comical fashion.

YGO: TAS is probably best appreciated by those familiar with the 4Kids dub, but I think everyone should be able to enjoy it. There have been several copycat knock-offs (Naruto: TAS, Berserk: TAS) but accept no substitutes, because this is still the best. Go check it out for the lulz. A real post will be up soon.

PS: I happen to think Yu-Gi-Oh is a badass show. Here’s one reason why.

PPS: Yeah, I know I appeased the female readers for once with this picture. Madness!

Congratulations to Shinnew for being able to name an astounding 26 traps out of 40. The competition wasn’t even close. You make me proud and sadden me at the same time with your extensive trap knowledge.

Go forth and display this half-assed magnificent award with pride. I’ll actually get some real prizes for the next contest; Stuff that otaku need like figures, pencil boards, and lots of soap.
