I'm with you there. The Abridged voices have actually replaced the official English dub voices in my head for what the characters should sound like speaking English, and I tend to think of the characters as the Abridged characters personality wise. Especially secondary characters, like Mr. Popo and Super Kami Guru. They did an excellent job on the whole series.

There's no way they could finish it before they die of old age.

Apparently KaiserNeko tweeted that the Cell Saga finale they're working on is likely going to be the last DBZ: A they ever do, which stinks.

I was looking forward to them doing the Buu stuff because I never watched that part of the show back in the day, and DBZ:A is legitimately better than the actual show in my mind at storytelling and entertainment, so it would have been almost entirely new to me.

They say that at the end of every arc so don’t take to much stock into it until it’s official.

I really do hope so :unsmith:

I just want to figure out what the actual deal with all the Buu poo poo (pun intended) is without having to slog through 50 episodes of filler. I've been reading online synopsis since I was literally a child, but it never really parses. He's a fattie then he turns into skinny then there's a good fattie and a kid one and the fusions happen at some point and oh look I don't care anymore.

He's a magic elder god with the brain of a child. Then he gets mad and his naive half and evil half separate. Then the evil half eats the naive half and becomes an elder god with average intelligence. Then he eats Piccolo and becomes a smart elder god, then he just starts eating everyone and becomes an existential threat to the universe.

It's been a while since I've read anything from DC. Is that the status quo now? Like Bruce and Selina are a healthy couple and apparently everyone, or at least Ivy knows who he is?

It's actually explained in-story; not that everyone knows who he is; it's that Ivy figured it out by using Mind Control poo poo to take over the planet and then looking for the only people in Gotham who weren't mind-controlled (because Batman had inoculated himself and Selina). She explicitly references an older story where the Joker hid bombs in Metropolis and put them all in lead-lined boxes so that Superman couldn't find them with X-Ray Vision and so instead Superman just looked for all the lead-lined boxes that he couldn't see through.

That's actually clever and yet...

She's already taken over the planet, does it really matter now?

It doesn't matter. The issue ends with Ivy telling them that it doesn't matter they're inoculated because she controls everyone else, and just leaves them. Catwoman asks Batman what the plan is, and he has no clue.

ASK ME ABOUT KISSING A GHOST
So yeah, a problem with the 'I have taken over everyone' stories in comics (especially when you do it with chemicals) is that it tends to include physiologically different beings like aliens (Supes, J'onn, etc), cyborgs, and of course Plastic Man himself whose brain literally doesn't work like any normal human anymore.

But I guess they need to up the stakes and ask us not to think too hard about it.

The inflation part is from Flex Mentallo. A dangerous off shoot of his Muscle Mystery called Inflation Intensity. Milk Wars was pretty great. All sorts of strange and wonderful.

Nah, it's Vixen's animal necklace that gives her powers to channel into the Red and use animal abilities in all sorts of ways. It's mostly a foci for her innate powers though. Animal Man has very similar powers, and they've teamed up several times.
