so. was it a sex joke? I say yes bowling would be because we all know he prefers his balls in the gutter. (....wait......nah. that sounds about right)
As long as the pacing is kept at a good speed, and you don't drop off randomly, or bounce the viewer around so much so that they get confused, then length shouldn't be THAT much of an issue. It's the same with any form of entertainment; movies, TV, stage, etc..
Wow Lookacat, you pretty much told me not "abridge" the series. The definition of abridge is:
"reduce in scope while retaining essential elements; 'The manuscript must be shortened' "
And "shorten the manuscript", is EXACTLY what abridging is about. Shortening the STORY, while MAINTAINING the PLOT.
Also first episodes typically run longer because of character intros. Which is another essential part of the plot. If can't sit through that, then don't watch it.
This is a good start, but you REALLY need to cut down the running times and tighten up the script. This episode was FAR too long, and it suffered for it.
I also recommend copying less lines from the episode itself. The scenes with the pirate trio were by far the funniest, in part because you weren't just rehashing the script.
Man I used to love watching Outlaw Star on Midnight Run! I loved Toonami back in the day. Now it's terribly horrid x9000. Anyway thanks for abridging it. 5 Outlaw Stars*****
I like the cut to Firefly itself at the end. I remember seeing the first two episodes of Outlaw Star, and thinking that that bit was just like Firefly. I assume that Outlaw Star ripped off Firefly - LINEAR DIRECTED TEMPORAL CAUSALITY BE DAMNED!
The argument between pirate girl and "tall, dark, and brainless" had me in stitches. Domon Kashu's little, magic car-filled cameo was also brilliant. Overall, great, inspired work there.
Thank you. Hey, have you ever heard of Katekyo Hitman Reborn? Cus I'm making an abridged series of it, and the other day I thought of a character I would like you to voice. I don't remember right now, but I remember things at random.
Anyway...very well done from all involved, and it figures MasakoX plays Gilliam. Interesting to see Megami33 play a dark role like Ice Hilda, btw. And of course, Khenpoe's writing is top notch.
And Vincent already ate his heart; it's standard goth emo demon marksman fare. ^^
