WITNESS THE TRUE POWER OF THE AZURE! It's also why Hazama's hair grows randomly.

She landed in a tree. Pretty meh episode though, Lambda's death was rushed and felt awkward, Terumi vs Ragna was barely a fight, and trying to explain the plot at this point in the story is a lost cause. Next episode the Mu fight will probably be super rushed as well, who knows what the epilogue is going to be like.

Got an "official" English sub track on the video for anyone that was asking for one; YouTube's sub system is shit for inputting your own. Though I'm totally stealing "frosty rusher" for a later time, that shit is gold. Yeah I get what you mean, it just feels very condensed because I couldn't really come up with much for why Tao is staking Ragna and the part where Noel meets him for the first time, I'll have more to work with in the later episodes once the story gets away from the Cauldron. Abridging has mutated quite a bit from its roots, but I'm find with working outside the "common" formula of what makes it an abridged style video. The heart of the project is me just projecting my comic in video format. And I probably won't get very many people who don't know what BlazBlue is watching it so yeah. Good to hear. Pretty much the best way to look at it. Just some fun project to do with random people, all of us are just amateurs when it comes to voice acting and editing but I do what I can to make it look as polished as possible.

Fixed the audio and re-uploaded the episode, hopefully that improved some of the problems people had with it: Blazen! ~ BB:AM Abridged - Episode 01 Edit: I'm a moron, link will be fixed in about an hour.

Yeah, I used a few room tone sfx for quite parts like where Hakumen and Ragna are just staring at each other. The next episode will probably be shorter, just had a bunch of stuff I wanted crammed in to this one and even had a few scenes/exchanges cut out due to running as long as the original episode. As for the audio problems, it sounds like Noel meeting Jin, Jin and Ragna fighting, and a few minor places have the music audio too low. If anyone can point out more specific points like that (or even time stamps on specific points where the audio seems too loud/quite) I can try to get an edited copy uploaded sometime this weekend. It'll give me a good idea on what audio levels I need to be running for a general audience since my headphones are more sensitive than what most people have.

Huh really? I have music for those parts, maybe its too quite to be picked up on my some speakers. I have good headphones so its possible I put it at a volume that cheaper speakers can't pick up. That would suck. If that's a case I might have to remix and upload a new version. Would give me a chance to balance the Noel/Tao's tracks if I do.

Yeah I didn't quite get all the vocal tracks normalized, I'll try to improve that in the next installment. Not a bad attempt though for someone who hasn't touched video editing in over 16 years. Which parts specifically do you guys feel were lacking? I tried to put as much music, BGM, and sfx as I could but didn't want to overdo it in some places. The only scene that doesn't have a music track is Noel meeting Ragna. Thanks for the feedback guys! Really helps me fine tune and improve.

It was the ICEing on the cake for me.

TA-DA! Blazen! ~ BB:AM Abridged - Episode 01

Redirect error, link is working again. And now a quick look behind the curtain:

After too much delay from the last two VAs I've been waiting on, I decided to replace them for the roles of Hakumen and Tao with myself and Emma filling in. So all the voice work is finished and the project is blasting off to be fully finished! about 90% complete already and should be ready for public viewing as soon as this weekend if all goes well!

Relius hasn't really done anything since he showed up. But that's how it is with most of the cast so yeah.

I think I'll pass on this one for now. Based on what you guys are saying, it's not worth it. lol This episode was for me like how Shinhwa felt about episode 08. Can never get enough Hazama.

MOAR! What's red and green and fill with joy? dat censorship Hazama...what are you doing? But Captain Hazama!

I was laughing too hard at the break transition that I stopped watching to make these. Currently watching the rest of the episode.

WHO WANTS GIF SETS? Can't touch this Flllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Get rekt Hazama loves his job Poor Noel Come get these nuts squirrel

I would of pronounced it the other way as Hakumen, but all I think of is this when I do:

Yeah but given Arksys history of plot holes I wouldn't hold my breath.

That's a pipe dream. Even good writers leave questions at the end of series to stir discussion.

Guilty Gear never gets enough love for fanart, you do a great service. And I so want bearded Johnny to be his final design in Xrd.

Someone requested subtitles on my video. So I went check to see if YouTube still does horrible/hilarious translations and sure enough… Good to see Kokonoe concerned about the middle east with her massive collection of WMDs.

Short: Boundary Bros: Quest for the Azure Thanks to Emma and GVGguy for helping out with the additional voices.

Still working on the episode, about 70% complete! The only thing really slowing me down is that I haven't heard back from two of my voice actors and is preventing me from finishing the remaining scenes but hopefully I'll hear back from them sometime this week. In the mean time I'll try making another short video soon.
