Originally called ''TVTome Adventures'' (full-name rarely used), TTA is a flash series created by Chris "Kirbopher" Niosi, using as inspiration a [[Self-Insert Fic|Self Insertion]] RP which took place on the TVTome.com forums (now TV.com).

▲The plot centers around a group of players in an [[Twenty Minutes in The Future|future]] MMORPG named "TOME" <ref>no, not [[Tales of Maj Eyal|that TOME]]</ref> and their fight against the D-Bug organisation, a group of hackers seeking a mysterious "Forbidden Power"..
TTA started [[Humble Beginnings|as a humble and amateur sprite-animation]] series, which during it's [[Long Runner|long run]] naturally kept [[Growing the Beard|on getting better]]. As a matter of facts, TTA is notable for its great length (a total of 73 episodes over 3 seasons and a three-part movie), specially for it's media.

[[File:Tome_remake_4705.png|frame|The remake]]
After it's somehow [[Humble Beginnings|sloppy]] early stages, the series used an unique combination of sprites and hand-drawn graphic, while the voice acting was mostly done by the writers of the original RP ([[Self-Insert Fic|each one voicing his/her character]]).
The author has openly admitted the heavy influence of both [[.hack]] and [[Mega Man Battle Network|Megaman.EXE]]. [[Shout-Out|References]] to [[Anime]] are also frequent--''[[Dragonball Z]]'' being the most common (for example, the character of Zetto, fact which is frequently [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by other characters).
After Niosi entered college, [[Author Existence Failure|he had less time for the series]] (at first, the fourth 27-episode season was shortened to a handful of OVAs, then scrapped altogether). He continued it with smaller projects, such as the three-part ''Super Freakin' Parody Rangers'', which features [[Expy|Expys]] of the characters Zetto and Ruri.
However, on [[Arc Number|11/11/11]], a fully animated [[Continuity Reboot]] of TTA re-titled '''''[[Fun with Acronyms|T]]'''[[Fun with Acronyms|errain]] '''[[Fun with Acronyms|O]]'''[[Fun with Acronyms|f]] '''[[Fun with Acronyms|M]]'''[[Fun with Acronyms|agical]] '''[[Fun with Acronyms|E]]'''[[Fun with Acronyms|xpertise]]'' was released, this time with a huge cast of stars (including [[Little Kuriboh]] among it's voice actors) and heavily promoted by Newgrounds.
The remake feature an unique style in which the animation is set to resemble video games like [[Mega Man Battle Network]] or [[The World Ends With You]], and it looks just that cool. So far four episodes have been released.

Line 38 ⟶ 37:
** Appears to have been removed from the remake, to the point where [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]] "Nailock Kotetsu Ryu" (who spoke almost exclusively in [[Gratuitous Japanese]]) has become "Nylocke, Dragon of the Cold Steel" (who speaks in [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]]).
* [[Author Stand In]]: Almost all of the characters are based on "authors"--the creator of the series actually has two avatars, kirbopher15 and Zetto.
* [[Awakening the Sleeping Giant]]: The D-Bug Dragon at the end of Season 2, although the good and bad guys don't so much join forces to stop it as they do just happen to both be trying to kill it for different reasons.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Many of the characters, but mostly Zetto.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Nailock/. One of the more powerful and skilled fighters in the game, but also a [[Large Ham]] who sprinkles his speech with [[Gratuitous Japanese]].

Line 56 ⟶ 55:
* [[Evil Plan]] Several:
** {{spoiler|When first facing Kirbopher15 in his [[Super-Powered Evil Side|transformed state]], EXE knew he had the D-Bug virus within him, and planned to make it his own. He convinced the Webmaster to make an '1111' item so Kirb could trigger the state, and would only do so if confronting his accomplice Zetto, by letting the heroes go covert at the D-Bug Org. II base while keeping the other Netkings ignorant. Absorbing too much viruses while transformed, Kirb unleashes the D-bug, that seeks to fight the strongest fighter in TOME, and eventually makes its way to EXE's room, which had a stash of 10 virus fragments, and manages to control the dragon by fusing it to the Super Computer.}}

* [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]]: TOME
* [[Noob]]: (Quite a bit of characters, but the most blatant ones are Raccoon and Sojojo. Their voices are even modeled after DBZ [[The Dragon|Dragon]] Villains Cell Junior and Kid Buu to drive home how childish they are.
