The War of the Abridged Series Creators



""Dude, Lanipwned.""

""Oh Crap. Avenge me, FroLegend!""

Describe The War of the Abridged Series Creators here, in all its horror.

It all started so innocently. Dan Green, along with fellow voice actor Vic Mignogna, tried to throw a 2nd Anniversary Spectacularmathon for Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series, and Lanipator of Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged hung up on Dan, completely ruining the whole show (when it was only mostly ruined by then). In a fit of animosity, Dan Green called in a few favors, having a (sort of) friend (Johnny Yong Bosch) down vote Lanipator's videos. But he accidentally down voted Hbi2k's videos.

It might have stopped there, but in a fit of blind rage (or just totally random rage), hbi attacked any other Abridged Series creator in his path. Soon the entire community seemed to be engulfed. Abridgers were accusing other abridgers of starting this war for their own purposes. Some even claimed to be the Overlord of abridgers (including a Gundam plushie). By the time it was over, Guts and Griffith were taken out by a Tonberry, MasakoX's lawn was vandalized, and Lanipator terrified everyone with his Cosplaying.

It was a harrowing experience that the YouTube community will never forget.

Videos can be found by searching You Tube for "abridged war", but the key videos can be found at PRPDproduction's, CardGamesFTW's, Lanipator's, and hbi2k's accounts.

There was a resurgence in 2009 when seemed that Dan Green Little Kuriboh learned nothing from the Great War, and has brazenly launched an assault on the other abridged series creators. The death toll is currently unknown, but none were spared from his attack. Lanipator has launched a retaliatory strike, but the damage has already been done. And now, it looks like Vegeta3986 is attempting some damage control.
