Darker Than Black Abridged (2007) is an abridged oneshot created by Rusl & Friends Productions and written by SlowkingCole and Kurohei.

The episode is a parody of the first episode of Darker Than Black as well as a parody of the abridging culture during 2007.

Episode Summary
Louis, while running from the cops, gets caught and killed by Hei, a member of the comedy police. According to one of the police, they were directed, under the suggestion of 2007's most famous anime directors, to build a giant wall around Japan to keep Americans from abridging. Despite this, an underground order formerly run by Louis tries to take control of the script so they can add more bad references, which Hei is trying to stop.

Development Notes
This series was planned since the beginning of November. The opening itself was created on 2/14/14 by SlowkingCole one day on a whim after he and Kurohei talked about the idea together. The idea was then shelved until the two hung out on 12/29/15, nearly two years later. On that day, the two of them wrote the entire script, recorded both of their lines in one take, and then SlowkingCole finished editing it at 4 in the morning on 12/30/15 deciding to wait before uploading it until New Years 2016.
