Original Dub vs Abridged Dub

Oh it's like 2 ENTIRELY different animes. All the characters and relationships have been basically rewritten for the purposes of jokes. The original is also a WAY longer experience. It is worth it to watch both

Oh I see. But which one do you think is the better one amongst the two ? Like each episode is approx an hour long so I may not be able to watch both of them so I will watch the better version and get it done.

the abridged is cut short. I think it's about... 4 and a half hour long in total... It wasn't redubbed as a whole. So it won't take double the time to watch both. But if you only wanted to watch one, I'd recommend the original anime. It's brilliant

1. the original dub is a masterpiece ! one of those shows that's better in the dub imo. speaking as someone from europe, the accents are also accurate !
2. the abridged version (despite being a parody) is undeniably the best fan dub i've ever heard !
and even though some earlier episodes had some noticible flaws in the quality of the va, i think we can all agree, it's on par with the original :)

A little bit, but at times it makes it badass

Does the comedy in the abridged version ruin the overall serious tone of the original dub ?

SabreDrago said:
So I wanted to start watching hellsing ultimate and heard that the dub was the way to go. But then I came to know that 2 dubs existed, one by Funimation and another one which is an abridged version but seems quite popular. So my question is which dub would give me the best anime experience and does the abridged version's jokes ruin the seriousness in the anime ?
