Sadly, Laserdisc isn't forever, as many owners have found out. Unlike CDs, DVDs, Blurays, etc. The way Laserdiscs were manufactured has resulted in some rotting of the discs themselves. So there is a deadline to preserve those, and plenty have gone past that point already.

"nnnnnNOOO"

[@jawsbert]

"You peaked" was just such a perfect joke to me. I certainly have no problem with Gohan having a quiet life that makes him happy, but there was SOOO much buildup throughout the series that he had the most untapped potential and would leave everyone in the dust, it was extraordinarily frustrating

[@redshirt49]

It's oddly realistic though. Like someone who is a really talented painter or pianist but they work for a living and only exercise their talent as a hobby. But yeah, Toriyama just kind of dropped that idea of having Goku and Vegeta making way for a new generation. He even gave it a bit of an arc, where Goku tries to hand off the hat to Goten and Trunks (even avoiding killing Buu himself, which by his own admission he could have done) before ultimately deciding to do it himself and let his kids live their own lives. Vegeta even lampshades it in the epilogue about their children being weak.

[@forgot7en]

Even the "buildup" was pretty flimsy, let's be honest here. The writing in Dragon Ball is terrible. DB fans could've written a much better arc by now (which isn't difficult because Toriyama's writing is terrible lol).

[@redshirt49]

@@forgot7en Well, go ahead then. No one is stopping you. I think you underestimate just how much work goes into the writing process. There's a reason most fanfiction is disjointed garbage.

​@@redshirt49dude, for the love of God I'm so tired of you shits saying this. We get it, things people practice doing is hard for people who haven't put the time in. Whoopty fuckin doo, It doesn't change the fact that we know when shit is good and when it's bad. Us being incapable of doing it better changes absolutely nothing about our opinions validity. And for the fuckin record, people have done it better or at least in a slightly more generic but consistent way. Unlike Toriyama who (R.I.P btw, still love the guy even if he's all over the place) had a lot of bullshit and loose strings and plot holes in his story that only got worse as time went on. People have done great work reimagining it and sometimes improving upon it. I know, Toriyama tried really hard and did really good, but that doesn't mean it's immune to being criticized for its weak points, of which it has many.

So uh, Hellsing Ultimate: Abridged-Creator Commentary when? On a serious note, thank you for this series and of course, DBZA. I cannot overstate the comfort and joy which the original abridged show provided to me as a child. A decade or so later and I find myself met with the same joy and now, nostalgia even, as we’ve been given the privilege to watch it all over again with you guys. The journey has been most insightful into the efforts, hardships, and emotions each of you have put into this project and I’m so very glad you guys came together to make this happen. Cheers TeamFourStar, I wish you all the very best in all your endeavors moving forward.

[@falconier1118]

In the off chance you weren’t aware of it already, there is a full HU abridged commentary floating around - they streamed it on Twitch and you can find the VOD on one of their channels.

[@Snurlaxe]

No idea if Taka sees this, but my last couple of weeks have been super rough, and what he said about it being a comfort show really rings true. I've watched the series through, had episodes on in the background to fall asleep to, just generally been using it as distraction and comfort. You guys are great, the show is great, and thank you for making it.

Not only for DBZA, which has been a consistent bright spot in my life since a friend in high school dragged me over to watch this "hilarious video" he found while we were supposed to be studying, but for this commentary as well. Being able to go through this show that has meant so much to me over the years as a source of levity and joy when I've desperately needed it with the people who made it has been truly wonderful. Insight into the mind of an artist who has made something that they love and that you love carries a special kind of beauty that I struggle to define. I am honored. I am grateful.

When DragonBall went away, it left a hole in fans' hearts. You guys filled that hole in us, filled all our holes, and for that, we love ya!

[@denverarnold6210]

Oh my...!

[@richardmiddaugh9749]

I wasn't even a Dragonball fan before finding y'all. But your incredible talent immediately hooked me in. I've rewatched your show more times than I can count. Thank you so much for creating something so wonderful that I can always turn to when I'm feeling down.

[@thelastwindwaker7948]

I'm just gonna decide that Cell's whistling doesn't hurt Piccolo's ears because he doesn't have lips.

[@daelnelbel]

Does that imply that there’s either something metaphysical about lips that makes the sound harsh to namekians, or just something about the structure of beak-mouths that makes the sound not harsh?

[@thelastwindwaker7948]

@@daelnelbel Both? Like the difference between using a mike with or without a puff guard.

[@daelnelbel]

@@thelastwindwaker7948 I wonder how Namekians would react to ASMR videos.

[@toxicdemon1315]

​@daelnelbel i think it would just sound normal to them. Especially since their hearing is so much stronger, Piccolo would probably be listening to it and be like "...I don't get it, how is this supposed to be relaxing?"

[@kaylobjaye98]

The insane fact that I was in 5th grade when I saw the first episode and watching this now at 25 with a wife still blows my mind. Thank y’all for years of laughter and merry Christmas!

[@Chris_Tootoo]

The Christmas merch plug made Lani look like he was balding. That damn greenscreen.

[@valethedm4946]

I'll miss these, it was a blast to watch these weekly!

[@hanamacquoid1427]

Been a fan since 6th grade. I remember recording little snippets so I could watch them anywhere on my shitty little flip phone before I carried the internet around. I’m 29 now. Thank you guys for everything and of COURSE I smashed that like and subscribe button. Can’t wait to see what y’all do next.

[@dige789]

What an insane journey these commentaries have been. I didn't find the show until near the end of the gap between episode 60 part 3 and part 4, but getting to follow along with this series made it feel like I was watching along with the rest of the community, learning new things about the show and, honestly, finding it funnier in retrospect now that I know the context. I've been looking forwards to these commentaries every week since they started, and they helped get me through the end of my university degree, my LSAT, and my law school applications. Thanks for making such a fantastic show, and thanks for taking the time to sit down and tell us about it.

[@KaroSword]

i was anticipating this more than the episode 60 commentary tbh the ending with everyone just standing on the lookout had me absolutely crying and then 16 walk onto the frame... some of my biggest most cathartic laughs after all these years of dbza! love you guys

[@FonVegen]

Man. It's weird that it's over. Again. Many feels were had and are currently being processed. Thank you all for making this.

[@JJ_R]

“You peaked” won’t apply to you fine fellows, I hope.

[@drag0nerd]

*AMEN*

[@xtanagaming1017]

You haven't even gotten that far in the video yet

[@reesegoebel979]

It already has

[@KennethWestervelt]

FF7A already was a solid continuation. They kept riding high.

[@diobrando8170]

Second that

[@ideitbawxproductions1880]

24:45 still holding on to hope that we get commentaries for the versus videos. Even if we don't, it's been a blast watching you guys go through these videos all over again. I've missed the work you guys have done. Keep on rockin' in the free world!!

[@RsChrisG]

You guys absolutely got me through hard times, even in my worst moments a little bit of DBZA helped my mood. Love you all, seriously.

[@Shanks9001_]

Thank you for all the years of content and fun. I only have one last thing to say. Where’d that scouter come from Kaiser!!!

[@idontwannaidontwanna7307]

9:26 onwards...oh man... If there was ever one thing you guys did that put me on the floor, it was this... As an Englishman livong in Australia, i applaud you on the correct use of the c-word.... Bravo.... 😅😅😅😂😂😂 THANK YOU!!!

[@TGaming2797]

29:14 Lani: Gohan peaks at Cell. Fans watching this video: But what about Dragon Ball Super Hero?! Me adding on: Peaks at Cell!

[@Nyetnyetsukablyet]

I'm with Taka at the end I've come back to your show whenever I need a laugh especially when I'm down And man, these commentaries have been playing on repeat for a year straight. I've memorized all of the scenes and all of the lines Thank you TFS

[@bradleymuir6927]

Oh, I get it now! They're the minions we made along the way! Kaiser- Pretty/Smart One Lani - Strong One Taka - One with Weird Powers

[@dentbentley1319]

This has been one of the roughest years of my life without a shadow of a doubt. Getting a chance to go back and enjoy these episodes with you all has been one of the beacons in a sea of darkness. Thank you

[@EldritchRolls]

Hopefully next year will be a better one for you. If you haven't seen it already, their D&D show was amazing and is sure to bring lots of laughs, and there is tons of it to watch or listen to in podcast form. That and "The Unexpectables" which is a D&D game run by Taka's sister and had him in it for most of the first campaign. The TFS Gaming channel has tons of amazing stuff from like 6 years ago that always makes me laugh.

[@comixproviderftw_02]

To quote Lani in the Burst Limit playthrough on Kenji Yamamoto, “To be fair, he made new songs as he stole from them. It’s kinda doing a remix.”

[@GillianSeed]

I got hit by a car back in April. Thanks for giving me tons of content during the recovery process. Especially in May. Really needed you guys in May.

[@edealee498]

Got to the last video, may as well say it at this point, despite the fact that i suck at saying these things. A year and a half ago i was abandoned by one of my best friends as my other best friend betrayed me, spread deliberate misinformation, turned all my other friends against me and then tried to kill me... I lost EVERYONE important in my life to that "friend's" bullshit. I was at the lowest point of my life, suicidal even. Yet one of the things that got me through those dark days was binging a ton of your content. DBZA, Hellsing abridged, the gaming content, unabridged, all of it. So thanks guys. Probably wouldn't even be here if your content didn't keep me going long enough to drag me out of that hole. Hope to see more commentary on HFIL and the Buu Bits in the future!

[@pureblackeagle]

I cried when you guys announced you weren’t going anymore and I cried a couple times through these commentaries. I started watching when episode 2 was new. This show has meant so much to me through my life. Thank all of you guys so much.

[@AnonyBoiii]

Loved the whole breakdown of the Kai score and how it was 99% plagiarised. I never really understood how it was stolen, so thank you for clarifying.

[@tinyetoile5503]

Considering how far in advance this was recorded, the bit about plagiarism at the beginning is almost serendipitous. Martin's aggressive delivery of "BUTTHOLES" is quite possible the funniest thing in the series to me. It cracks me up every single time and I love the entire concept of Freeza aggressively yelling "BUTTHOLES" of all things BTW, full Cell cover of Limp Bizkit My Way when?

[@Yemto]

I never thought the "in a year" bit was suppose to be a fake out, I always thought it was to acknowledge how long time it took.

[@KVJoker13]

29:22-It still hurts how true this is. Regardless, much love to TeamFourStar. Thank you all for the laughs and entertainment.

[@KurtT-051]

2010, I was 15 years old and on another weekday adventure with my friends, walking down some train tracks in my hometown. My best friend tells me he's seen this parody show of DBZ on KZbin where Vegeta's scream breaks the timeline. I watched it that night and I've been a fan ever since. When Lani said "You guys made my adulthood," I felt that. I'm 28 now. I'm with my wife and daughter, spending my first Christmas in our first house. Your videos have been with me through high school, college, relationships, breakups, my first job, my wedding. Every good and bad moment of my life, you guys helped me through it all. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart and all of my being, thank you for being you and giving me this gift. Have a wonderful holiday season everyone, and I can't wait to see you in 2024!
