My Little Pony!

[Royi]

I'm a bit over 2 hours in to that link of all episodes (so maybe 5 or 6 episodes in?) Just saw the one with the Ursa Minor and that one jerk arrogant blue unicorn. That jerk

I'll watch another today. I think the big thing is that its really well animated and well written. Good writing and good animation can make any plot or premise interesting and fun to watch.

My favorite is Pinkie Pie, and I'm a fan of Spike too.

Hah Rhyela I got confused when I saw you didnt have a green haired Nighelf as a Avatar anymore

I've discovered that AMAZINGLY, if you have an account and add the video to your favourites, it will (relatively, within a few minutes) save where you stop if you leave the page, shut down your computer, or whatever. Which is awesome.

Also: I found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muVfiduj ... re=related

Wish MY physics class was that interesting <.< I hate physics.

I would not say really well animated. It's got good animation for sure but it's not really well animated I can see many mistakes when I watch it with my traind eye and short cuts so many short cuts not that that's bad but when you see all 6 ponys useing the exact same run cycle in the same shot just makes it feel like scoobydo!

The entire 1st season. Merry Christmas.

Thanks to you, I am now a proud filly. This is the greatest show I have ever seen in my life.

Edit: Just felt that I should note, i'm in hurricane force winds atm, my house is being powered by a generator in our garage, and i've sat at my computer all day watching this show.

Well, the show was meant for young children, primarily Girls ages 5-10 ish (I'd assume)... These animation shortcuts and 'flaws' work in this show for the same reason it worked in Scooby doo. No one it was meant for truly cares, and anyone who cares enough to look at it, doesn't mind b/c of the show's awesomeness altogether.

[cowmuflage]

It's a pet peeve I atmit but when ever a "bronie" states that it's the best animated show of the last few years in terms of animation they really need a hit over the head. Badly.

Allso when ever they say Lauren Faust did everything on the show(She's one of the Executive Producers theres 5). That's just stupid and insulting to all the people in the creative team. Ugh it just gets on my nerves.

[Royi]

Hey Cow i'm not stating its the best animated show. It just seems pretty good to me. I havent checked into too much if i'm a "Bronie" yet. Who knows maybe I am...

I'm also not into art and drawing like you are, so perhaps my cartoon-ignorance might make it more appealing to me. Its kind of how if you're an expert or good at something and you see it portrayed on tv or a movie you're going to find a lot of loop holes or inconsistencies. I know someone from high-school who is somewhat like a CSI (like the show) who can't stand the show CSI since its incredibly "fake" as she put it. Something about how DNA tests take weeks instead of minutes or something.

Nubhorns, I was just wondering if this is your favoritist scene ever!

Hahaha! Royi, that's such an awesome scene. Fluttershy is a BAMF. Short novel incoming...

I grew up on MLP--absolutely adored the shows and the toys. In regards to the animation discussion, I have to say that my favorite animated version of the ponies was in the first movie, Rescue at Midnight Castle. The storyline itself starts off happy and cheery, but quickly turns rather dark. The basic premise: an evil Tirak plans to capture and transform four ponies into demon dragons so they can pull his chariot (skip to ~9 minutes in the YouTube video). You might see some parallels between this and the Friendship is Magic pilot. I will forewarn you that it does have musical numbers in it (and super trilly voices), so I might just have a soft spot for it because I watched it when I was a little kid. I'll admit that I remember fast-forwarding through the songs even when I was 7.

I wasn't born yet when this movie first came out but when I was about 5-7 years old, I loved to rent this movie from the local video store. My parents humored me and let me rent it every week. I revisited the video store last year, and the same guy owned the place. I asked him if he still had the movie, and said that I'd like to rent it for nostalgia's sake. He was an absolute sweetheart, and said "I remember you! Tell you what, don't rent the video just yet. Come back tomorrow". I was a bit confused, but came back the next day. He'd burned a DVD of the movie for me and gave it to me as a gift. Still one of the best things I've ever been given.

I'm happy to see this new version of MLP out. It's definitely different, but it's been reworked in a great way. And the writing is really well done. I agree with CrystalKitten--this series is addictive, haha!

mmmmm Smores!

I've heard they're more of a Northern thing (northern USA), so I'm glad its getting represented

Dragonshy is my favorite episode! :) It's actually what made me take up Fluttershy as a sort of forum persona.

I don't think it's the 'best show ever' - I guess that makes me a lazy brony - but I do like the story, and I do like the characters. I never understood why people got into fights over it, considering that sort of behavior goes against the entire feel of the show. A true brony isn't someone who obsesses over the show and wants to do naughty things to the mane cast and posts scathing hate comments on work not up to their skewed standards. A true brony is someone who loves the show, sees what it's trying to say, and loves and tolerates the hell out of everyone. ;) There are textbook bronies, ero-bronies, clean bronies, casual bronies, edgy bronies - I guess it's not so much of a title you earn as it is a state of mind.

[cowmuflage]

mane cast ha I see what you did there

I still get the hate PMs about that walk cycle I did lol I'm pretty sure I say in the comments that it's not done the same way as the show hence why it does not look 100% like it but I guess that's in invisable computer ink or something becouse I get to many of those PMs!

My unicorn trot has been driveing me up the wall. Every time I cleaned it up today and scaned it and linetested it I found something else wrong with it! :S this should not drive me up the wall as much as it is!

Sheesh I know why the shows done in flash now the style's to odd to hand draw. That's odd as the styles a simple style and simple styles are the best to animate with as they are easy...... I really need to learn flash and toonboom they are the future of animation after all.

(allso I'm going to colour the unicorn like a certain Pokemon thats on fire 10 points to the first to guess it lol)
