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.
