Abridging has enjoyed many successes in the
art of comedy and
anime parody, however some parodies have taken a slighly different route. AbridgeMENTing aims at taking a different approach to the parody field. Purpleeyeswtf (The screen
name being a play on LittleKuriboh's new YouTube account: CardGamesFTW) reconstructs the Code Geass
television series with characters whose personalities are polar opposites of their original counterparts. What is unique about Code MENT series is that it very loosely follows the actions in the original series. Instead it aims to create an entirely new parody plot
line of Code Geass. The series is considered a "parody of a parody". he goal of the abridgement series differs only slightly from abridging, in that it does not hesitate to rid itself of overly serious or
dark plot elements to reassemble them into a new type of show altogether. Purpleeyeswtf has a tendency to
poke fun at his competitors/comrades in the abridging field (as
seen in many episodes including an alternative version of episode 8, where, after some constructive criticism from his cohort he responded by fixing these video bugs and then proceeded to write a new opening (in which his character Lelouch attempts to blow up SXAbridged's Roger
Smith from "Big O Abridged"). However the motto of the abridgement series is to: "enjoy and promote others shows" which leads
us to believe these acts are good in nature.
C.C.: I still
don't follow any of this.
Lelouch: Look, it's really simple. I'm the son of the King of Britannia.
C.C: Then why are you in
Japan?
Lelouch: Let me break it down for you. Every nation belongs to one of three major Empires (Australia NO!): Britannia, The Chinese Federation, Britannia, Santa
Mario, Kazakhstan (President: Nursultan Nazarbayev... Learning You Some Knowledge), Britannia, Alderaan (Not found), Britannia, Corneria and Britannia.
C.C: I
don't even know why I bothered to ask.
