Not a Hellsing fan, never cared for Hellsing, so if the stuff of working the Cell saga to feel more of a proper fan dub and directing Abridged Goku's VA to sound more like Masako Nozawa and doing a bunch of things like the subs is true and any indication, then this seems like his MO.

Hm, it was sort off like that with Hellsing, plus their own personal re-writes where they are trying to paint Alucard as someone who made a deal with Satan so there won't be other monsters like him, while in the source material it blatantly states he only accepted the offer because he was a broken coward who lost his faith. It was actually one of the key things of why The Major believed he was better than Alucard, since he denied this offer when he was close to death and wanted to remain human, something TFS pretty much cut out and went on full re-write mode thus giving us the "Alucard+God+Satan Skype call "comedy" hour".

They completely butchered the Major's last speech, it's complete gobbeldygook. It's not funny in the slightest, and if it's meant to be serious it fell completely flat.

I dunno if its me, but around Ep 5-6 its where it started to feel like Kaiser was starting to get a disdain/hate for the series an just wanted to re-write into his own fan fiction.

Hellsing was almost completely Taka's creative baby. Kaiser doesn't have much to do with it aside from editing some of them and doing a few voices. What is notable is that Episode 6 got pushed back to like Feburary when it was always before a Youmacon thing. All I think he said about it was that there were "personal issues" that prevented him from writing up to the quality of the others. I don't know if anyone has said anything else about it but I assume it had something to do with going on or off of drugs.

Entirely possible, by his current counter, Taka has been sober for almost 2 years now, and depending on how bad he was it could certainly fit the timeline.

It kinda becomes an even bigger mess since they cut out the Major's flashback and the whole scene of how there was nearly a mutiny on the ship. But ya know, gotta shove a scene of Walter saying how he's Gay for Alucard, that really was needed.
 
Ya know, I actually wonder what these guys are gonna do now. They ended all their abridged series, they arent gonna do any new projects and doesnt seem like their "originally animated" DBZA eps are getting much attention. So, all thats left is streaming, since they arent gonna go back to just making LPs (even as DBZA characters), but as I said before these guys arent very good streamera because they clearly cannot improvise material on the spot and you get some REALLY dead air.

Reminds me there was the Outlast LP with Krillin voice. The LP for the first game seemed to be voice acted in post and it was pretty solid, though I can't remember much of it.
The second one was stream with improvised LP in a blind run and it was just bad. No jokes can be set up and tons of dead air. However the RE 7 LP was somewhat better so I guess the guy improved.
The LPs of the more obscure DBZ games were alright, but it's not hard to have 4-5 people be fun to listen to.

Their streams aren't faring much better, even discounting how garbage they are at improvisation.

Over the past few months they've just been streaming and doing "director's commentary" on their old material because they know that's why people come for them, and if they aren't making new episodes, might as well do the next best thing and talk about why they made these episodes the way they did. And God only know what'll happen once they run out of old material.

I'd say they are gonna be boned because there's only so much material they can do "commentary's" on. They already covered DBZA and Hellsing, an last that's on the burner is FF7.

The Let's Plays that I was excited for was the Pokemon Nuzlockes and when they played through the Metal Gear games.
Those were nice content.

Didn't they already do some voice work for vols 4 & 5 of RWBY, only to be dropped because of the threat Toei gave to Funimation about hiring them for any project because of that reenactment scene the group did for DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters?

Not that I'm aware of in regards to Toei. In V4, all I remember was one guy getting some bit part for a party scene. In My opinion, not much to drop the hammer on them unless Toei is THAT petty.

Toei's always hated TFS just for existing, they actually threatened to take DBZ and One Piece away from them if they kept casting Kaiser and Lani in their shows, even those NOT animated or produced by Toei like Ping Pong and Heavy Object (they did minor and incidental roles in those). Also they actually did show up in Vol. 5 in a couple different roles, but were dropped afterward.

Again, probably bit parts that amounted to nothing (but then again, RWBY V5 was so bad I don't really remember much from it). Still, seems I was right that Toei is that petty and hates TFS that much.

I don't think it's pettiness so much as the fact that TFS has been making money off the Dragon Ball brand without actually owning or licensing any aspect of it

Probably, but if that was the case, a cease and desist order in regards to merch would do the trick. And apparently Toei said they'd take away the license from Funimation if they gave TFS roles, even if they're bit parts.
