Fan animation in general (beyond the set used in the Brony documentary) has failed to sell me on them to the point where I don't even care anymore when I new one releases, including Fall.

It's not like they are trying to be show accurate, this is really taking place in an episode tings. Well except Double Rainboom and we all know how bad that failed at it.

Please presume pretentiousless plans posted, perversely partaking punful pleasure, placing P-perched precarious phrases possibly placates people passionately pressuring pausing PC pandering puns permanently.

Politely persuaded, P phonemes passing presently.

The main issue with Fan animations is that they tend to fall into a pseudo Uncanny Valley sort of place where they style is close to show accurate, so you unconsciously use it as a benchmark and the small deviations stick out really clearly because they're the only difference from the show. The only ones I've seen that actually look show-accurate are the things that Janimations does. Honestly, I wish more fan animators would stop trying to be show-accurate and stylize their designs more. It would be a lot less distracting because you wouldn't focus at all on how it isn't quite accurate.

The animation itself typically doesn't bug me so much as their writing and brand of humour. It often just doesn't jive. An almost exception (if one can actually call it an animation, rather than a mock video game demo) was Turnabout Storm, where my main beef was with the voice acting until the very end where they also completely trashed the writing by doing an unnecessary 20-minute headcanon exposition dump.

Snowdrop destroys the Crystal Empire. Fund that crossover.

What we need is Snowdrop meets Snowcatcher the Irreverent.

Watching more Avatar The Last Airbender, and I have to ask: Why was Toph not introduced way earlier? Because she is awesome.

They have a one-awesome-character-added-per-season limit. First was Iroh. Next was Toph. Third was... uh... something. >.> tongue

because Toph is so awesome, the series could only handle two season with her, or it would destroy the planet.

Toph is indeed the best member of the Gaang. It's a little weird going back to season one and being like "oh, right, she hadn't joined yet."

Spent most of yesterday reading the new Dresden Files novel. Harry's daughter is now canonically a pony fan. This pleases and amuses me.

The fact that she's introduced as a pro wrestler only makes it better.

@JT: I love in the play episode, she's so stoked that she's being played by some huge dude that looks like he could crush boulders without earthbending.

@Seraphem: Oh man, it's great. I love when some serious shit happens with characters, and then Molly does some spoilery shit.

The best fan animations I've seen are Children of the Night and the Janimation videos.

Hey another Toph fan! Awesome!

Toph is what got me interested in the show in the first place.

Toph is indeed awesome. Finally some mumbo jumbo aside, a show does a confident and capable blind character well.

@Dark I love it when Toph goes toe to toe with Sokka in a battle of wits during the series.

My favorite bit was when they have to hide in a hole in the desert.

Sokka: Oh no, I can't see a thing!

Toph: Gasp! Oh, what a nightmare.

She also has great banter with Katara, especially when they're first getting to know each other and have a glorious spat throughout the episode.
