A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

All of the usual forum rules apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

One of the things I thought was weak about the first season was that the dynamic within the Gaang wasn't very interesting, but I can already tell that it's about to get really fun.

@Dark I would've loved to see some Toph cosplayers while I was at MCM. God I would've gushed like mad. Which is a shame considering the only cosplayers I saw related to the show was Blue Mask Zuko and Korra and she isn't even from the same show.

The animation itself typically doesn't bug me so much as their writing and brand of humour. It often just doesn't jive.

That's generally been my feeling, too. The animation being slightly below show quality is just unpleasant frosting on the poorly-written cake.

Just finished Bravely Default. The ending was weird and interesting, though I think it would have worked a lot better if it came half a game ago.

So in other words, it's Bioshock?

Random thought: The fact that Feather Flu is a disease in Equestria that seems to be specific to Pegasi seems to imply that there could also be diseases specific to Earth Ponies and Unicorns.

There's a discussion about fan animations, and yet no mention of the wonderfully (and professionally) animated Children of the Night? For shame.

not sure how I feel about Luna kidnapping children, tho.

I read that as "Chicken of the Night."

Children of the Night was good, but I also remember there are were one or two shots in it (specifically the rotations shots) that practically yelled "Hey, look at our production values!" It was a distracting moment from an otherwise-great animation.

The implication I got from Children of the Night is that she only took Orphaned or generally forgotten children; ones who didn't have a place already.

So... I've played fifty-two hours of Kerbal Space Program in the last three days. I need a distraction.

@JT: True, but I'b take Cot N over most of the other fan animations I've seen.

Okay, I'm gonna go catch up on the IDW comics. I'll see you guys soon.

Oh, I never said it was bad, just not perfect. Then again, what is?

@CDRW: That looks really interesting. Pity I'm so cheap, though.

Nah. Bioshock had an okay start, then a good middle, then a strong twist and a poorly-done ending. This game has a strong start, then a good twist, a poorly-done middle and an okay ending.

It raises several questions, through. Like, why was Twilight moving the sun? When did it happen?

Bioshock really should have been half as long. Not sure what they were thinking there.

There are a lot of games that could stand to be shorter than they really are. I think Bioshock handles its extra length much better than BD does, though.

I had a pretty "meh" reaction to Children of the Night. The song was okay and there was not a whole ton of writing to fail at, so that was also passable, but it was one of those times where the visuals actually got to me. I thought the OC designs were really, really tacky and they basically distracted me for the entire video.

As far as Janimation stuff goes, I liked the stuff they did for Brony Doc, but Button Mash grates on me something awful. The first of his videos actually made me want to close the Youtube tab.

Yeah, the joke was that Celestia was wiggling the sun around to screw with Luna, and Twilight had no idea WTF was going on.

Children of the night, Epic Wub Time, a large degree of the Ponies The Anthology shorts, Snowdrop, Flufflepuff, Once Upon a Time in Canterlot, Take a Bow, Sunrise Surprise, The I Am Octavia video, Cardcapter Derpy This...

all amazing animations. So how is it all of them have the same issue simply by being fan animations? What kind of utter perfection are you expecting?
