MLP:FiM Megathread: Does anyone even watch this show anymore edition

[MJN SEIFER]

I actually wasn't bothered by them bringing up that Sweetie Belle was Rarities sister. It was introduced quite cleanly I thought, and more importantly she wasn't brought up out of the blue to be involved in some pretty big contrivances like Shining Knight did. Yeah that's kind of a good point to be honest. I still need to find out whether Shining being Twilight's brother was planned back when this storyline was first drafted (around season 1), or that was another thing Hasbro changed on their own.


Also Lyra had a speaking line.
She sure did! :D And Minute, and some other pony did too, let's just hope they're not given over 9000 different voices like Bon-Bon has, huh?

To Vaern: Thanks for linking the trope, and explaining it. I had a feeling there was one.

[Hollycat]

Which episode will convert him to brony? Hurry!

I'm putting your question in the MLP thread, HC. :greenie:

[Hollycat]

Aw come on....

[NeoCracker]

We would need to know more about your room mate.

[Hollycat]

he's african american, doesn't want to watch ponies.
he likes sports, he likes cars, he likes video games.

[Agent Proto]

Don't bother if he doesn't want to watch. Unless he has an open mind and wouldn't mind watching a single episode. If that's the case, try watching any of the two-parters. I'd recommend the opening episodes of Season 2. If you manage to finish the first episode and he wants to check out the following episode, you successfully changed his mind about ponies and made him one step closer to bronyhood.

[Yeargdribble]

Aw come on....

Am I the only one who read that in Rainbow Dash's voice?

[Rianoa]

I loved the last episode It reminded me of Disney, Bitches love Disney :D

[theundeadhero]

It was pretty awesome but now I don't know what to do on Sunday afternoons anymore.

[MJN SEIFER]

To Pike: Did you draw that? It's good :)
To Hypo: It's best to let your roommate decide on his own of he wants to be a brony or not. I mean look at how I discovered the show; completly by accident. It's best to decide on things on your own, that way you know you're a true fan. Not that I'm saying the people who joined due to the popularity aren't true fans, it's just that non-bronies may feel that way if you "force" them to join. No offence, just trying to advise.

[Hollycat]

It's not forced, He told me if I watched one episode of his show, he would watch one episode of ponies

[Agent Proto]

What show is he gonna show you?

[Hollycat]

I watched drawn together.

[Agent Proto]

Drawn Together is a cool show. I've seen a couple episodes of that. Pretty crude humor, but that's expected from a cartoon that premiers on Comedy Central. I think he might enjoy MLP if he can look past the "pony cuteness". Good luck.

[Pike]

To Pike: Did you draw that? It's good :)

I did not, no, I got it from 4chan. I wish I could draw ponies that well!

[MJN SEIFER]

It's not forced, He told me if I watched one episode of his show, he would watch one episode of ponies
My apologies. I'm afraid I can't really thing of an episode to start with because some people may like some episodes better, I mean, I started with Show Stoppers and loved it, but others might not. I like to think that the first episode (I count both parts as one) is a good way to start off, but some may dissagree. Sorry I'm not much help.

[Agent Proto]

That reminds me. I did a couple pony art on MSPaint, so I'm going to share them with you guys. :)

I might do some more while waiting for Season 3 to come around.

[MJN SEIFER]

To Pike: Did you draw that? It's good :)

I did not, no, I got it from 4chan. I wish I could draw ponies that well! 4Chan doing something pony postive? How is that possible!? :eek:
EDIT: So do I though, I'm currently learning to draw ponies. They're a real pain, but I'm determined to draw them.

[GhandiOwnsYou]

Whats this? Pony related art showcasing? Hokay. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/GhandiOwnsYou/5e89b205.jpg)

I recently snagged a new wacom tablet, and decided to get a feel for it by tracing some stuff. Ended up with a desktop image for the fanfic Rorschach in Equestria. Yes, its what it sounds like. No, it doesn't make any sense. It IS a far better read than it has any right to be.

[NeoCracker]

Don't get me wrong, that picture is awesome, but I think it ends with Rorschach snapping AJ's neck.

[MJN SEIFER]

I like that AJ shot, because it's from one of my favorite scenes of hers; "I didn't learn anything!" :p

[GhandiOwnsYou]

Don't get me wrong, that picture is awesome, but I think it ends with Rorschach snapping AJ's neck.

At this point in the fic, that is highly unlikely. He's got major beef with both princesses, whom he deems to be naive, shallow, egomaniacal tyrants but he has struck up some manner of friendship with the Apples. Bribed with pie, typical Apple Family maneuver.

However, suffice to say that the Diamond Dog population neither fared well after Rorschach heard about their kidnapping of Rarity, nor are unique in their ability to bury things in shallow holes.

[Agent Proto]

Best commercial of MLP yet.

[GhandiOwnsYou]

Best commercial of MLP yet.

Agreed. This has now become the go to Brony hate response link for me.

[MJN SEIFER]

Oh man, that was awesome. :cool:

Why can't the UK have channels like The Hub? I miss channels that are clever with how shows are advertised...:(

[Pike]

That commercial was great. Love the happy little elevator music they've got going on at the beginning and end. xD

[NorthernChaosGod]

Dat Pokeman reference. Dat G Gundam reference.

Pony Battle (http://funnyjunk.com/channel/ponytime/Pony+Battle/ncYRGap/)

[Hollycat]

Can we all agree that the only thing better than this show would be this show plus will smith, batman, and a full derpy episode where derpy helps dr whooves?

[NorthernChaosGod]

No, because that wouldn't be very good at all.

[Hollycat]

You don't want a mare do well teams up with bat pony to defeat will smith episode?

[Agent Proto]

Take away Will Smith and Batman and we have ourselves a good spin-off show of Doctor Whooves. That I can get behind! :D

[Hollycat]

Fine, one out of three is still good.
(can't beleive you guys don't want to see batpony. He could run around saying I AM BATPONY!. You are right about the will smith though. I was thinking him circa I am legend or MIB, but he wouldn't match at any point.)

As for D and D

2)A group of bronies is taking donations to run a commercial on the hub that will serve as a thank you and extension of goodwill towards the people who create the show.

Warning, contains every episode yet released.

[MJN SEIFER]

That Vynl movie was awesomly put together so thanks for showing us it. :)
I also like the Doctor and Derpy animation too, as I may or may not have said. It's also well acted, and Derpy is actually kind of "awww" in that for some reason. I really wish that they'ed update it and put up a new episode (yeah, I know the audio is up, but I'd like the animated version).

*FAN-MADE* My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Trailer [Final Cut] - YouTube (http://youtu.be/nrTBgTCs-Ew)

[MJN SEIFER]

That was so awesome, I'm not even sure awesome describes it. :eek:

[Hollycat]

the new defacto brony sampler. show it to friends and see if it interests them.

[MJN SEIFER]

This is going to be both on topic and off topic at the same time, but could any of you please put my mind at rest? My love of Friendship is Magic coupled with the fact I kept remembering that one tiny event from the first Generation of My Little Pony that I saw as a kid (which I may never have even remembered had Friendship is Magic not inspired me to think back to whether I'd have liked either FIM ponies, or even the older ponies as kid) have lead me to finding out as much as I can about the previous generations as I can.

While doing so, I saw an episode with this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YhsFoFt0QQ) towards the end. Now, I know for a fact that I only saw the start of a completely different episode as a kid, and that's it. Between then and Friendship is Magic I was under the delusion that as a boy, I should hate ponies, so I never saw this episode as a kid. So how come it feels like I've heard the song before?!

Is this song used in something else other than My Little Pony? Or is this song based on another song as homage, the same way Art of the Dress is based on another song? Bronies and Pegasisters of EoFF, I'd appreciate you setting me straight on this one.

[Fonzie]

Bronies and Pegasisters of EoFF, I'd appreciate you setting me straight on this one.

Ain't no one straight in this thread, mang. :smug:

[Fonzie]

Thought you guys might appreciate this. :kakapo:

[MJN SEIFER]

Sorry to repeat my self, but I'd really like to know if it was either used in something else, is based on something else, or just sounds like something else. I just know I heard a song exactly like this when I was a kid.

Also I've been thinking a lot about something, will be putting it in words when done.

[Yeargdribble]

I listened and it didn't really sound like anything I've heard recently. In fact, having that sugary-sweet melody interrupted by that strange modal sounding v-bVII-I gave it a very 80s vibe. The bVII-I progression by itself isn't that dd. You can hear it in one of the Lord of the Rings themes (http://youtu.be/ybZINoDv8I8?t=12m20s) though I'm not sure if it's functioning the same way there.

Having watched most of FiM eps 2-3 times, I don't really remember anything from this song sticking out to me in any of those. It's all standard fare except for that one lick and I'm pretty sure that strange modal dive would've caught my ear at some point if it had shown up in FiM, but I might just missed it. Outside of that, it might just be that you're hearing other bits that are familiar because the rest of the song is pretty cookie-cutter in terms pop or folk music.

[Værn]

I mentioned in a random chat room the other day that I needed a random character concept for a random D&D campaign I was thinking of joining. This came up. (http://friendshipisdragons.thecomicseries.com/comics/first/)

Hmmm, that could be it, I'll keep researching it though, thanks for the sugestion. It was litterally the very second they started singing that I thought "I know this!!!"
however.

Sorry to request this, but I just feel the need to. Hope that's okay.

That is both absurd and awesome.

[MJN SEIFER]

Also, was I seriously the only one who thought of Final Fantasy when Twilight was explaining to Luna who had what element in episode 1? The whole thing had an echo of classic Final Fantasies when, just before the final battle all the characters would one by one have dialogue which was basically "My entire storyline in this game was actually about..." it just made me instantly think of it.

[MJN SEIFER]

I wonder what Season 3's gonna be like, I'm sure it will still be awesome. However one thing that does concern me is that this will be the first season where Lauren isn't involved at all, so I hope her influance doesn't dissapear along with her. Now, I realize Friendship is Magic was a team effort, and everyone involved deserves praise and respect, but they mostly followed Lauren's lead in Season 1, and she had a lot to do with the episodes in Season 2 as well (though not as much as Season 1, though the show still had her influance to it.)

Obviously, everyone else did brilliantly, but I hope that while she's gone, they keep her image of the show. I hope that while they're free to write the own scripts without showing them to her first, or without being given her concept first they keep thing within her concept. I also hope they continue to pay homage to previous generations of the My Little Pony franchise - hopefully someone other than Lauren is a fan of the previous generations in the writing team.

4 day weekend, nothing to do? Teach yourself vectors.

Derpy Hooves - Last Roundup Vector by ~Siegfried-Lindsay on deviantART (http://siegfried-lindsay.deviantart.com/art/Derpy-Hooves-Last-Roundup-Vector-304868712)

Any of y'all have any talent? This was the first full vector graphic I've attempted since a single semester of middle school graphic arts. Vicious critiques are appreciated.

[Hollycat]

I have little in the way of computer art skills, but I think I'm one of the best pencil artists to ever grace EoFF, I'll draw you something, then you can use the computer to color and enhance. Sound good?

[GhandiOwnsYou]

Sounds like good practice to me. I will note however, that after your gloating over your PS3 Trophy takeover I'm also taking this as an underhanded tactic to preserve your lead....

[Hollycat]

I joined Playstation Plus, so now I have even more to play! Mwahahah. Besides, this will take my time too. And probably more of my time.

[MJN SEIFER]

I have little in the way of computer art skills, but I think I'm one of the best pencil artists to ever grace EoFF, I'll draw you something, then you can use the computer to color and enhance. Sound good? I'll look forward to seeing them. :)

I really want to be able to draw ponies (among other things to go with it.) I have some ideas I really want to bring to life.

[GhandiOwnsYou]

Playstation plus is RIDICULOUS. I joined up for totally different reasons, I really just wanted the auto-updates and the online storage for game saves. I've got my PS3 in Korea and the one my wife is using back in VA. Man, the free games though! I can't even keep up with them all.

[Hollycat]

I know, there are like too many. I probably will play most of them like once then delete them. Rock of ages looks pretty fun though, and I'm always up for some streets of rage.
Hang on I'll make a Playstation Plus thread.

On topic: You know how most people who read My little dashie were like, wow, do you really think there will be 8 seasons? I was like, what!?!? Only 8 seasons?

[GhandiOwnsYou]

I hesitate to post this, as it is bad juju to speak it. Right now, last i checked we were only guaranteed 13 more episodes (meeting the bare minimum for syndication.) Its still open, but not guaranteed, to extend for more.

That said, seeing the rolling freight train of love, friendship and flying wads of fanboy cash, hasbro would be utterly retarded not to continue this show. Its almost inconcievable that they would drop something with this rabid a fanbase. I must note however, they've totally ignored the call for plushies and the shocking prices show accurate customs, plushies and background pony recolors have been going for on ebay while continuing to pump "glimmer shine star berry" random toys onto the market. This seems ridiculously stupid, as putting out a Lyra or Bon Bon would attract just as many little girls who just wanted a pony as a random recolor would, but it would attract FAR more bronies to the register. Why cut half the market? Why the hideous plush baby spikes and mutant pinkies? Why pink celestia? Why no nightmare moon/luna?

Long story short, my logic says the guys in charge would have to be brain dead to stop the show 13 eps into season 3. My cynicism tells me to look at the mind boggling oversights already and realize its a definite possibility they're that dumb.

[MJN SEIFER]

Bronies officially labelled as THE most awesome fandom ever by me!

I already suspected it would happen, but recent events have made it so; Guys this FFVI/Friendship is Magic game is awesome. I really love how it's been done, and the fact that FIM inspires it's fans to do such creative things is one of the things that makes me love this fandom so much.

Another thing that makes me love this fandom is how kind and warm it is to its members. I recently typed a heartfelt comment on a YouTube video which makes me feel really emotional, and I had been putting off doing so for ages. The bronies were so nice about it, and told me that I had nothing to be ashamed of. I'm so honored if I am to be considered part of this fandom. Thank you, everyone. I'm so pleased to have found you. :)

DOUBLE EDIT OF AWESOME: The Lyra and Trixie toys have popped up for preorder. Behold. http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/05/lyra-and-trixie-also-availabel-on.html As of this edit, they have sold out their stock of singles, but they do still have a set available with Trixie, Lyra, and two recolors. The site also popped in and said that they are trying to get more from the distributor for singles and will have an answer monday. Apparently the singles sold out in under an hour after the EQD stampede.

[MJN SEIFER]

They're starting to do better with the toys, as far as making them look like the characters is concerned. The Lyra one is a bit better of the two though.

So, today I bought all the supplies I need. For my sisters birthday I am making her a Pinkie Pie Plushie.

What in the world? All the threads are reversed? What do you mean?

[Hollycat]

Never mind. So yesterday, shortly after posting that I was going to make a pinkie Pie, I went by walmart and was walking around the parking lot bakc to my car, and I came across an unopened Pinki PIe toy (pinkie goes on vacation) I quickly put it in my car before I was seen. So, do you think it was a sign from "Celestia" or was it just a coincidence?

Also this morning my dog got sprayed by a skunk.

[MJN SEIFER]

Pinkie's "senses" told her that you were making one so she left it there for you. :jess:

[Hollycat]

Okay, I have something for you guys, but before you download the games and then try to murder me, READ THE DESCRIPTIONS. Okay?
Ready?

[GhandiOwnsYou]

So Camp Humphreys, South Korea is about to get a face full of love and tolerance. I somehow got roped into taking the swimming leg of a Team Triathlon by a buddy of mine. My longtime buddy, while not a Brony himself, decided if we were going to do this we should have a recognizable team name. Most people only use their unit designation (501st Military Intelligence Team 3, etc.) and upon checking the signup list after he had written our names down, I noticed he had signed us up as 4-2 ATTACK, Team Brony. We're getting three jerseys made up for our team this weekend with cutie marks on them. I consider this quite awesome, and will do my damnedest to win this thing for Brony pride. Jeff (biking) is also working his ass off, because he thinks it would be hilarious to beat several teams of gung-ho soldiers while rocking ponies. Our third team member is apparently clueless. Jeff finds this hilarious as well and has made me promise to not tell him, so we can blindside him the morning of the event.

[Hollycat]

Sounds great. Make sure and tell us the results

this show is pretty decent.

Also, to anyone out there who hasn't played Pony Fantasy VI yet, but wants to, here's some advice; Do not read the page on what pony is playing what character. It's so much more fun finding out for yourself!

I admitidly did look, but I have forgotten most of it because I had to go visit family before I could play it.

[MJN SEIFER]

I am currently in the process of compiling a list of all the allusions towards previous generations of My Little Pony that show up in FIM. I'm having a lot of fun doing it, but if you notice anything I may have missed feel free to tell me. The list is not finished at all and I have a lot more to add, but I haven't had much time to work on it.

And another person, not sure who it is, I think they work mornings, but their desk has a giant hand drawn Pinkie Pie picture.

I just got back from a convention hosting a pony panel. It was a roaring success and it was awesome. Sounds awesome. Was the whole thing ponies or just you panel?

Just me panel. It was fun and my friend and I made a lot of friends. Some guy suggested I do an amateur comedy night from a guy who was there so I might try it out. If I canj find if someone recorded it I might post it.

Saw it yesterday, objected to her calling herself sompony else

[Agent Proto]

Her name is Ditzy Doo, but Derpy is just a nickname the other ponies call her.

[MJN SEIFER]

Her name is Ditzy Doo, but Derpy is just a nickname the other ponies call her. That's how I view it as well.

[Hollycat]

Is that really how dr hooves derpy goes?

[Agent Proto]

Yeah, he calls her Ditzy or Assistant.

[MJN SEIFER]

Also considering this is only episode two, there's a chance that they may use the name Derpy at some point (perhaps as a nickname).

[Agent Proto]

Actually you can hear one of the jock ponies call her Derpy in the fourth episode, and Doctor Whooves makes a comment about how cute it sounds, but he sticks with Ditzy.

[MJN SEIFER]

I see. Have the third and fourth episodes been animated yet? I know they do the audio first.

[Agent Proto]

Oh, looks like there's a fifth audio episode! And they just only finished the second episode not too long ago. :P

[MJN SEIFER]

I see. I did a quick check on the sound of one of them, but I will mostly wait for the animated version.

Why does everyone choose Derpy to be the assistant anyway? Is it simply because she was the first background pony to become famous?

[GhandiOwnsYou]

Derpy needs a strait man to reach full comedic critical mass IMO. It's not a fault, I just think her character works better playing off someone.\

In other news, the 4/2 Aviation Brony Triathlon team took 2nd. We got hustled hard by some borderline-pros trying to get publicity for their triathlon-specific clothing company. We stomped the third place team by 17 minutes though, so I'm cool with losing to the pros.

my pinkie pie plushie attempt #1 was a disaster.
Note to self: Pinkie has 2 eyes.

Update: after 3 attempts, I ended up making a Pinkie Pie Pillow. It is pink on one side and darker pink on the other with Pinkie pie on the regular pink side. I would upload a pic, but the camera on my vita is acting all screwy.

Plushies are hard. I feel your pain my friend.

In other news, FML for being stuck in Korea during BroNYCon. Would have so been there. Also, according to reports, would have had John De Lancie take me out to lunch. I guess they did some lunch interview for the Brony documentary for any active duty military guys that showed up.

Ah well, later years. Maybe I'll be back in time for the next one.

[ReloadPsi]

So I'm just gonna drop my two cents on this and then bugger off.

I'm not much of a brony at all. I lost interest in the show sometime during season 2 when the "hurr-hurr I'm not really supposed to like this but I actually kinda do so that's well funneh" appeal of it wore off and I realised I wasn't watching anything special. That and Derpy fanservice.

But I wish to say: bronies don't get on my nerves very much. It can be a bit annoying to go somewhere and see ponies posted all over it, but honestly? It's the hardcore haters of this franchise that really get on my nerves... because they're the ones who accidentally shove My Little Pony down my throat in a big way. Ironic really.

[Hollycat]

Hey, they actually put a cactuar in the anthology like I asked. I didn't think they read the comments. (they probably just did it coincidentlly)

Psi, thank you, that made me happy to hear

[Pike]

It's the hardcore haters of this franchise that really get on my nerves... because they're the ones who accidentally shove My Little Pony down my throat in a big way. Ironic really.

When Meet the Pyro came out recently and a squeaky unicorn showed up for five seconds everyone exploded with "OMG VALVE IS SHOVING PONIES DOWN OUR THROAT, THAT'S IT, I'M OUT" for hours

I laughed

[Cloudane]

Indeed, I don't really know that many fellow bronies who really shove it in anyone's faces, it's just the impression that people get from it being so popular (it's funny in a way, dA seems almost exclusively pony now). Just what happens with something being popular. Now everyone knows how I feel with soccer :) Can't hold it against anyone.

[Agent Proto]

Looks like bronies have an ally within CNN.

Presenting Erin Bro-nett to the herd (http://outfront.blogs.cnn.com/2012/07/06/my-little-pony-meets-the-bronies/).

[ReloadPsi]

Now everyone knows how I feel with soccer :)

Where I live, liking soccer (well, football) is treated like a legal requirement. You can't imagine how loathing that makes me of it when people will not leave me the hell alone about my lack of interest in it.

Guess I've made a liar of myself by coming back to this thread :P

Yeah you're not far from me (Cumbria) and treated like a legal requirement is pretty true! (I call it soccer on the internet to save time with the inevitable American terminology issue hehe)

I think the worst is in the pub when everyone is talking (i.e. arguing) about it and you're sat bored thinking "well that's nice". I suppose it'd be the same for non-bronies in an internet full of them hehe.

[MJN SEIFER]

In response to what ReloadPsi said; I agree that Brony haters are more in your face than bronies themselves. I must say it's really reffreshing to see someone who doesn't care for the show to say that. I never understood the whole "The ponies are everywhere" thing - I found the show by dumb luck, and when I go on searching for something that isn't MLP, I may see the odd "ponyfied" version of what I am searching for, but that's about it.

Thanks.

It's still not exactly the level of show accurate most pony fans I know are going for, but it's much better than the abominations of Baby Pinkie and Baby Spike. Those still haunt my dreams. They are the landmines of the Pink Aisle, impossible to unsee...

[GhandiOwnsYou]

Those new ponies are actually already up for sale. Check out My Little Pony Mini PVC Sets New! (http://www.toywiz.com/mlpfimpvc.html)

They're selling them in sets of three, I believe they're blindbag sized, though I could be wrong. The three sets are the Apple Family, Cloudsdale, and Canterlot wedding; Big Mac, Granny and Applejack, RD Gilda and Spitfire, and Shining Armor, Cadence, and Twilight respectively. It's a bit of a markup from hunting the blindbags down individually, but I don't think Granny Smith, Gilda, Spitfire, Cadence or Shining Armor have popped up in any of the blindbag waves yet.

To answer your question, yes. I am absolutely ashamed of the amount of time I spend watching for MLP releases. It's a necessity, my wife doesn't have a Lyra to take out of the box yet. (We try to snag two of anything we get, I keep my stuff Mint-in-Box, she takes hers out and displays them.) For anyone that manages to comes across one anywhere, I have several extra toys for various reasons, including a couple rather rare Trixies, in the box. I will trade for a Lyra, and love you for it.

[NeoCracker]

So when is our next MLP marathon?

[Yeargdribble]

Been blind bag hunting... Trying to get he mane six and Big Mac. Only missing Twilight and Fluttershy... We've checked all bags in local Wal-marts, Toys-R-Us and Targets and there's not a singe mane six left among them.

[Hollycat]

Are the new blind bags in stores yet?

[MJN SEIFER]

So when is our next MLP marathon?
That is actually a very good question that I for one would like to know the answer to.

Also, as a side note;

And what movie wouldst thou be talking about?

[Agent Proto]

I am going to work on the next pony marathon session! So far, I have set up an account for synchtube, which Pike used the last time we did this, so she can be a moderator if she wants. Since there are 52 episodes total, I'm gonna try to divide them as evenly as possible within a week in August! I think I want to include other things as well, like various pony music, fan-made skits, and all things pony related so we can enjoy more than just watching the episodes.

So, should we use the Groups page to further discuss the next ponython or is this thread sufficient enough?

[NeoCracker]

This thread should work fine. We did it last time. :p

Last time we ran all the episodes in one day, which was all season one and the first 3 or 4 of season two.

If we do it one day a week, we can do 13 episodes at a time, plus a few videos and what not.

If we go this right, I would suggest Sunday.

[Agent Proto]

There are 52 episodes, each 22 minutes long, so altogether is roughly 19 hours long, and I don't think we can all sit through 19 hours of all pony in one sitting, so I want to evenly divide the shows within a week, like so.

Day 1 - Season 1: Episodes 1-11
Day 2 - Season 1: Episodes 12-21
Day 3 - Season 1: Episodes 22-26; Season 2: Episodes 1-5
Day 4 - Season 2: Episodes 6-15
Day 5 - Season 2: Episodes 16-26

That will be roughly 4 hours each day to watch 10 episodes straight. I think we can pull this off and make it about 5 or 6 hours if we include various other various videos in between episodes. I also want to dedicate a day to only fan videos, like the Pony Anthologies, Doctor Whooves, and etc. :D

[Hollycat]

I can only do Saturdays and occasionally other days, so I will miss most of this either way.
Still, I join when I can.

BTW sorry form messing up the bronies group by uploading those screenshots.

[Agent Proto]

So, what's the best course of action for this? All on one day (during a weekend), or over the course of a week, 5 hours a day?

[The Babekeepers]

So, what's the best course of action for this? All on one day (during a weekend), or over the course of a week, 5 hours a day?

I'd say do my Idea, but one day a week over the course of a month. Most people wont' be able to watch even half of it if we split it up among one week like that.

A lot of other people wouldn't want to sit down for 19 hours watching pony stuffs.

I would, but I have issues. :p

Edit: This is Uncle Big Hands again. :p

[MJN SEIFER]

So, what's the best course of action for this? All on one day (during a weekend), or over the course of a week, 5 hours a day?
I vote for the weekend, because there's noway I'd be able join in during the week, because my schedule is full during weeks. I know that I'm just one guy, and this is for everyone, but that's my vote (also remember to post UK times as well when you decide, or I won't know when to start).

I will edit this later to reply to other things.

[Agent Proto]

That's cute. I think I've seen it before anyway.

Anyhoo...

Here's what the week schedule would possibly be if we go that way.

Monday - Season 1: Ep. 1-11
Tuesday - Season 1: Ep. 12-21
Wednesday - Season 1: 22-26, Season 2: 1-5
Thursday - Season 2: 6-15
Friday - Season : 16-26
Saturday - MLP/PW : Turnabout Storm (Parts 1-3), Turnabout Storm: The Other Side (Parts 1-2), Doctor Whooves and Assistant (ep 1-2)
Sunday - All Request (Want to watch a specific episode, video, or music? Make a request)

While watching during the week, I will include various videos between episodes so each session will last roughly 5 hours.

And what movie wouldst thou be talking about? Sorry this is late, but Alpha and Omega is the movie. There is a "Grab my tail!" scene which starts off funny, but is actually pretty heart-warming (the whole movie is really heart-warming to me). I doubt it though because the movie is very obscure (it was hardly promoted at all). Still it's a movie that's very close to my heart. :love:

[GhandiOwnsYou]

Glorious! I haven't been frequenting EoFF as often recently, and the last couple times I swung by it appeared the Pony thread was toast. Glad to see it's back on. I'll definitely try to swing by the synchtube if it's even remotely possible for me. Time zones man, bummer.

[MJN SEIFER]

Here are my opinions on each generation of My Little Pony I have been meaning to post this here for some time now.

Generation 1: A long forgotten memory of mine that was finally brought to the surface while I was watching Friendship is Magic was of me watching the very first episode of My Little Pony when I was just a kid, and while I only saw part of it (I got up to the the part where a group of ponies where being captured) I loved it. I dunno if I was aware of the toyline at the time, but I don't think I was. The reason I didn't see all of it was because I had to go to school for the first time, and after that school overlapped the ponies. So I somehow ended up forgetting about them (even though that episode was in my mind for like ages - I kept thinking about that one pony; where was she going? Did she save them?) I was around eight when I finally heard of My Little Pony and that was the toyline, and I was at the foolish age where we cared more about what was boyish, and what was girly. So I avoided My Little Pony.

However, I realize now that I shouldn't have! Generation 1 was initially made to be a TV Series for whoever wanted to watch it - they didn't have a target audience other than simply "children" in mind, but they tried to aim it for girls more when they found that they were watching it more (though they never succeeded in making it "girly"), but they did manage to soften it up a bit (which is how they interpreted a girl's show). The earliest episodes (which is what the first episode of Friendship is Magic was based on in a sense) are awesome in my opinion; They have a nice sense of adventure to them, and it really feels like something that I would have loved as a kid, and I can easily see them happening in FIM or the FIM cast being there, but at the same time - I love the G1 ponies as they are. When I watched G1 on YouTube, I was surprised to see that humans were included in the show (I was forced to stop watching as a kid just before the first human was introduced), but I didn't mind it - the fact that humans existed in the show was introduced from the get-go, so it never seemed out of place to me. The only thing I didn't like was how the humans became in the later episodes - they were just there to be the ones to solve the ponies’ problems, rather than be characters themselves, but they at least started out okay for me.

Rescue at Midnight Castle (that's the episode I saw as a kid) is by far my favorite episode, and contained some of the best characters. I am actually regretful that I didn't get to see all of it as a kid, because like I say I loved what I saw as a kid. I'm not sure what suddenly caused it to come flooding back, but it was something I saw in Friendship is Magic - which contains allusions to all the previous MLPs. I knew that I was supposed to be a fan of the franchise for much longer when I saw this episode, because as much as I was fascinated with what little of it I saw as a child (I made a guess at which pony was the one saving them, and I was right - she was meant to be in Friendship is Magic). This is actually one of the episodes that I actually like better than Friendship is Magic, although for the most part I find the first generation to be my second favorite, but there are episodes that actually work on equal footing, or even superior to Friendship is Magic. There is an nice adventure element, that Friendship is Magic had in its adventure episodes, and I find the ponies to be likeable, some of the villains to be cool, and the episodes to be entertaining, though some of them kind of start off promising, and then don't deliver the goods at the end. The animation and acting is still pretty good for the most part, especially for its time - anytime I found the acting bad it was usually from a guest character, though there are some moments where Spike sounds like Chicken (as in Cow and Chicken) on a bad day (there's a reason for that...)

There are some problems I had with G1 though, the one that got me the most is, while the show clearly had enough going for it to be more than just a marketing ploy for toys - Hasbro where still very interested in the sale of the toyline and in order to do so, they would often either push ponies into the background, or remove them all together for no reason in storyline. The reason for this was because they wanted to sell the toys and they thought the kids would only buy characters they knew. The problem is we end up not knowing certain characters as much as we should have done (though that doesn't stop me liking them, I just wish they could be in more) what if Friendship is Magic was like this? What if the six ponies we've become fans of where only in the first episode (I count the two-parters as one episode) and where then replaced by six other ponies? Another thing that I saw as a flaw was that certain things aren't really explained - they never actually say why a human was needed, or why they chose the one they did. In the pilot she is shown to have a "regular" pony, so I actually thought they were going to expand on that. I thought they were going to have it so that the magical ponies saw how she was with everyday run-of-the-mill ponies, but they never explained it. While I loved the Sea ponies’ introduction, they underused them in the rest of the show. They made them look like they were going to be characters that the ponies summoned when they needed help, but they're were just there all the way through. The final thing I didn't like (other than that guy who kept losing things) was that baby ponies were just smaller clones of the other ponies, and I'm not speaking metaphorically here.

My Little Pony Tales: This is actually another part of G1, not G2 - G2 was just toys, but this is also separate from the rest of G1, so it's best to view it as its own show. Not my idea, blame the writers.

This was for the most part an experimental version, I was a little skeptical of it when I first heard of it - in all versions of My Little Pony the writers have humanized the ponies to some extent, most likely to help the kids identify with them (even the G1 ponies slept in human beds). The MLPT ponies where a little too human in this show; they had cars and TVs, and they were basically just ponies living in a human-ish world, and only really covered the magical side of the series on rare occasions (even unicorns and pegasi were scarce). I do however, like this show. I like how the main cast (and there is a main cast this time) are handled, and they all have clear personality traits. The episodes are fun to watch, and look like an early version of the tamer episodes of Friendship is Magic to me. While by this time the writers were aiming it towards girls, there was nothing really girly about the episodes - the basic point of the episodes could have easily have involved a boy in the central role. The only thing ruining this, is that there are three boy ponies in as secondary main characters - and in my mind they were pretty poorly written as characters, not only were they very stereotypical at times, but they just couldn't decide on what their relationship was with the girls... For the most part I love this show.

Generation 3: This is the generation that most Bronies love to hate, and while this is the only generation I find to be in your face girly... I actually kind of like this now. Some of it was a bit jarring having watched FIM first, but I looked at it positively, and it was okay. I do find it the weakest, but I also find it kind of cute, and entertaining in some way. I look at it as a nostalgic view as when I was a child - there's still enough character in the characters to take seriously, but it is also just a nice show to watch, an relax to. Feel young again. The constant criticism that the G3 ponies have no separate personality is an exaggeration - they do. You can't put a pony who likes fashion, and a pony who likes games in the same show, and say they have the same personality. Some of the episodes are a bit uneventful, but they are taking the step to be entertaining. I realize it's the most girly, but I just don't care about that - I think the ponies themselves are cute, and the show is nice to watch when you just want to watch a simple, but not childishly stupid show. It also has an excellent theme song - I love it :)

Ironically, while the first generation allowed the sale of the toys to interfere with the show, and thus dominate which ponies stayed on the show and which didn't, the third generation did the opposite, and not in a good way. Pretty much all the merchandise was just updated versions of the main characters, and they really thrust it in your face at times.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: The generation that not only made me a brony, but also convinced me to take a look at previous generations. This is my favorite generation of My Little Pony I couldn't believe that I loved it so much, after watching only episode (and thinking it wasn't a real show, as I think I've mentioned before) and as I had completely forgotten ever being fascinated with any other My Little Pony as a kid, but I was so pleased to see that it had such a warm and caring fandom (there are exceptions, but nobody's perfect) - I became a fan of the show for my own reasons, but I love being a part of the fandom, and will miss it if and when it dies down. However, I love how very well written this show is, I love how the characters appear to be very real, they have personalities, they have flaws, they change but still seem like the same character the way people do in real life, there's only been one episode I've hated so far (Putting Your Hoof Down) and though some episodes are better than others, I find myself enjoying them the more I watch them. Out of the main characters, there is not one pony that I don't like - most of the secondary characters (such as the CMCs) are very likeable too.

Friendship is Magic was a surprise to many people who would never give My Little Pony the time of day in the past, as they suddenly became much more interested in it. Lauren, who was a fan of the show in the 80s, aimed the show at kids first, but fans of the first generation second. Because of this, people who never noticed how the first generation was more than just a show based on a girl's toyline got a second chance to see a show that was aimed at whoever wanted to watch it, regardless of the age or gender, hence we have bronies. What I also like about FIM (now that I have watched the other generations) is that it basically takes the best quality of the previous generations, and places them all in one place - while it was mostly meant to follow G1 (more so than it actually did, many episodes are based on fanfictions of Lauren's - she did the story not the scripts, in case you’re confused, that she based on G1) but FIM does what a good remake/new version should do, and that's respect its predecessors - you can see several allusions to previous MLPs if you look for them. Like I say it was made for fans by fans - the fact that it gained new fans, who were old enough to have watched the old version, but didn't was a bonus, and a really cool one.


There are flaws with it, but they are pretty minor; most of which are Hasbro underestimating the children watching the show, and dumbing certain things down - which ironically makes things more confusing, even to the some of the older viewers; They refused to use the word "Alicorn" because they thought that it was such an old term little kids wouldn't understand it, so they made it "Pegasus Unicorn" which makes no sense, because they're supposed to be all three pony types, not just two. They cut out the explanation Celestia's nephew isn't her nephew at all, but a more distant relative, because they thought that that would be too heavy going for kids, but it makes no sense because there's only two sisters, and he's certainly not Luna's son. They refused to include Sea Ponies (Sea Ponies!!!) because they thought kids wouldn't understand what they were... Hasbro really needs to show faith it its main target audience. The reason FIM has survived so long is because it doesn't treat kids like morons - the same way most kids shows of yore didn't treat kids like morons.

So, there you go that's my opinion on each generation of My Little Pony. :love:

[MJN SEIFER]

Sorry about the lenght of the above post, my fellow bronies; I just really wanted to share my growing love of the franchise. Hope you're okay with the wall of text, but if not I applogise.

Unrelated note, I may do a Let's Play of the Pony Fantasy VI!

Just a screenshot and commentary one, but YES!

Unrelated note, I may do a Let's Play of the Pony Fantasy VI!

Just a screenshot and commentary one, but YES! I was actually planning on doing that myself, but don't have the equipment to do so. I will look forward to your's though.

Would you mind if I let's played it once I figureout how to do so?

[NeoCracker]

Sure, not a problem. :p

And most emulators have a screenshot button. That and a Photobucket are all you really need. :p

[MJN SEIFER]

Sure, not a problem. :p

And most emulators have a screenshot button. That and a Photobucket are all you really need. :p I've got an option to record the game on to a movie file, but it stops the sound playing while I'm playing (though the sound is still on the recording) What I need is something to put my own voice on there.

Ah, My Little Pony. How I love your adorableness, your charm, and your uplifting and Care Free Nature.

Ah Final Fantasy VI, how I love your dark tones, your grim setting, and your land of constant struggle.

Well regardless, here it is!~

Or maybe they are here to inform us of Twilights past murder spree, invade and slaughter innocents in a town, and subsequently get murdered by an anctient beast. The resemblance to the show is uncanny.

Poor Twilight wakes up in a strange pony's home, and we get our first Character Description! :D

And We End Part 1!


I'll start with some things I find really cool about this. Firstly, some of the small things like Twilight casting a spell animation you see her reading from a book.

Scootaloo, the tiny flightless Pegasus, was pertty clever to use as the tiny flightless Moogles. And quite amusing.

What I'm really liking is the change to the Espers, at least so far. Celestia actually gives you an esper just after Canterlot (Or Figaro) sumberges. However, it seems only Unicorns like Twilight and Celestia can equip them to learn the ancient Magic.

What I don't like is some very odd casting choices. Ghestal, for example, being replaced by Gilda Griffon. Or The Figaro Brothers replaced by Celestia and Luna. They don't really feel fitting for those roles.

Same goes with AppleBloom. Her position as Locke Boggles me, and since they even acknowledge her having no special talents in game, it's even stranger that she's the go to between Canterlot and the Rebels.
Though as weird as this sounds, Discord is not making a very good replacement for Kefka. If only because it doesn't feel like we are watching Discord, if just feels like a reskinned Kefka.

Heres looking forward to how this turns out! :monster:

[Agent Proto]

Since nothing has yet been decided for the pony marathon yet. I'm going to hold that MLP/PW marathon today, mostly to see if I can get this to work properly before actually starting a pony marathon. I'll show all three episodes of Turnabout Storm along with a couple other videos starting at 5 PM today. That would be about anhour from now.

[MJN SEIFER]

I think somethings wrong with the pony group. I leave a thread in it, but whenever I try to click on it, I'm redirected to the forums.

[Agent Proto]

It's because of the "quotation marks" you included on the thread title that's throwing off the linking to the thread. I think you should direct this to the staff to let them know about this to fix it for you.

[MJN SEIFER]

I've rewritten it, and it works now. I dunno how to remove the bad ones.

EDIT: Enjoying the platform Hypo. Even though I suck at it - I'm only on the cave at the moment. You'd think all the times she's died she'd think of better last words. "Butter drys nothiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!" :confused:

I am curious if anyone has ever written a crossover fan fiction called "My Little Portal."

[Agent Proto]

There might have been one. I know there are several videos on the subject.

[Hollycat]

I hate fanfics. The only decent one is my little dashie.

[MJN SEIFER]

^My favorite fanfiction. /]

Though I hope you're not counting Lauren's fanfictions in that, otherwise there'd be no Friendship is Magic. :cool:

[Hollycat]

Speaking of fanfics, I want to figure out what this whole thing is with Celestia and Bananas, but no one will tell me and I'm not going to go looking through fanfics for it, especially since I assume it is from one of the r34 ones.

It must be r34 - because I've never heard of it.

[Værn]

I'm pretty sure the banana thing originated from a random flash animation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4f9m4OYkCY). That's the first place I remember ever seeing it, at least.

That was... interesting?

[MJN SEIFER]

On the subject of fanfictions and memes, is anyone besides me getting board of Trollestia now?

I mean, it orginated from The Ticket Master and while I think that yes, she did send two tickets on purpose, I don't think she did it to troll the ponies.

[Hollycat]

She probably meant one for Spike and one for Twi.

[Agent Proto]

Nope, one for Twilight and another for a friend. Of course, she couldn't decide on a friend because the others will get butthurt for not being chosen. So Princess Celestia fixed that by sending her five extra tickets!

[MJN SEIFER]

I will admit that I didn't think of what Hypo said.

The Tollestia people made it look like Celestia purposly sent two tickets to Twilight knowing she had five friends, in order to cause a fight - hence Tollestia.

However, while it could have been an accient, I personally like to think she was trying to test out the firendship of the ponies. They're the holders elements right? The elements are at their strongest when their holders are friends (proved in Season 2). I think Celestia was giving them a very minor threat to their friendship in order to see whether they'd stay friends, because if they didn't then that would mean the wrong ponies were given the elements; if such a small problem could turn them against each other, then what would a series problem do?

Does that make sense? It could all be coincidence, but that's how I like to look at it.

[GhandiOwnsYou]

I hate fanfics. The only decent one is my little dashie.

MLD was drivel. Check out anything by The Descendant. Tangled up in Blues was particularly awesome. Also, Fallout Equestria and Project Horizons, though both fall into the "holy hell this is like war and peace" categories of long.

[Hollycat]

I said decent, not good.

[MJN SEIFER]

I had a feeling I was the only one who was emotionally affected by MLD (I'm just an emotional guy I guess).

I would like your advice with a couple of things. If I was to make a fanfiction that was set after the events of Friendship is Magic but had needed for certain things to go a certain way for my fanfiction to work, and FIM ended up going a different way, and there was no way for my fanfiction to compromise it, can I still go the way I intended as it is still fanfiction.

I employ you to answer this question even if you don't like fanfiction (though technically speaking FIM is fanfiction itself) it would mean a lot to me.

Secondly, I would like your opinions onthis article (http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/User:MJNSEIFER/Sandbox) do you think it's written well? Are there anymore things that you noticed that I didn't? Please note, it is unfinished.

I really hope you didn't mind me asking I was just curious about how to do this as I love the actual show, so I want to do something with my fandom (not saying it will be good, but I'll make the effort).

[MJN SEIFER]

Well, It's a little late, but I might as well respond to UncleBigHands' playthrough.



Ah, My Little Pony. How I love your adorableness, your charm, and your uplifting and Care Free Nature.

Ah Final Fantasy VI, how I love your dark tones, your grim setting, and your land of constant struggle.

Why, these are two things that fit perfectly together, Right?

….Right? Strangley I never found FFVI too dark to not be uplifting, and I never found it too unlikely for FIM to have an FF style setting. In fact I was reminded of FF when I watched the pilot (though now I think more of classic MLP)



Poor Twilight wakes up in a strange pony's home, and we get our first Character Description! :D

I really need to stop expecting things to accurately reflect the show. As silly as this may seem, I'm actually quite pleased with it. Realistically Gilda playing Geshtalhl doesn't work for a number of reasons, but given what happens to the character, I'm happy with it (I am not a Gilda fan, at all.)


And while we are at it, why is the bumbling child who has no currently known talents being trusted to save the mass murder machine that is Twilight Sparkle? Lol. I dunno, but I found it cute. Is it any better than getting some random theif to do it? Yeah, I know he's part of the Returners, but it makes no sense the first time. So neither does this? I dunno.

[/quote] When I said that I wanted more Scootaloo I didn't mean it to be this litteral! I get what they were doing here, but it just looked weird and made no sense. I get that Scootaloo is playing Mog, but they could have chosen random ponies to be her army instead of a bunch of clones since we're not going to be using them again. Even if they had all just been Scoot-recolorers it would have been better.





[spoiler=Real Thoughts]
I'll start with some things I find really cool about this. Firstly, some of the small things like Twilight casting a spell animation you see her reading from a book.
It gets better, I like the attention to detail. It is obvious that this was made by a fan of the MLP franchise.



What I don't like is some very odd casting choices. Ghestal, for example, being replaced by Gilda Griffon. Or The Figaro Brothers replaced by Celestia and Luna. They don't really feel fitting for those roles.
Same goes with AppleBloom. Her position as Locke Boggles me, and since they even acknowledge her having no special talents in game, it's even stranger that she's the go to between Canterlot and the Rebels. I think they chose Luna and Celestia because they are royal sisters, Edga and Sabin are royal brothers. I think it's that simple. They're not supposed to completly play the characters they play, it's (for better or worst) the ponies in the FFVI storyline. I think it's basically Apple Bloom's (not Applebloom) compassion and and adventurous personallity that places her in Locke's role. The go-between stuff is a little contrived I grant you.

What really makes the casting funny to is that there are actually some comparrisons that have been avoided. Both Luna and Cyan have the same dialect but Luna doesn't play Cyan, and both Trixie and Relm speak in third person, but Trixie isn't playing Relm

Like I say it's more the ponies themselves (or the programer's version of them) in FFVI rather than the ponies playing the actual characters, but they take some of the FF character to fit in. To be honest, I always found FFVI to be the easiest FF to replace the cast with for some reason. I still love it, but I just always found it the best for this type of thing.

I find this game hard to keep interested in playing saddly.

And I actually really like Scootaloo being cast as Mog. That was one of the funner choices for me, and I'm not really fond of Scootaloo. :p

That's okay. I might add my own view to the game when I can. And I know you're not a CMC fan.

EDIT: One thing I'm really loving about PFVI is that Ponies from the OLDER generations are being sort of included which I think is really awesome. Sadly, the most awesome G1 pony (IMO) has yet to make an appearance, but I'll look out for her...

[NeoCracker]

I'm actually looking forwad to both Rarity and Sweetie Belle as Strago and Realm though. :p

After I finish my current playthrough of P4 I might hop back onto this though. It's not badly made by any means.

. When Sweetie Belle came on I just couldn't stop "awwww"ing but you're mileage may vary as I actually like the FIM character. The chemisty between the two sisters is pretty well handled if you ask me.

Also you'll want to see what they chose for Rarity's "dead" sprite. :p

It's going to involve the couch, isn't it? :p

I'll let Pinkie answer for me. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0jQ0SgFLKU)

Forgot to post this! My friend and I hosted a Pony Panel at Anime Blues, a Memphis concention. My friend went as Rarity and I was a well-dressed man (I was supposed to be Fancypants but my dye didn't work! So I didn't bother.)

Anyway, here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7mP26v6A4s) a brief clip someone took of the con. You can see me towards the middle. The panel was awesome and the crowd was a delight.

[Agent Proto]

I want a muffin. Looks like you had a fun time, Laddy!

[MJN SEIFER]

Hope you had fun at the con, Laddy. Annoyingly there was an actual FIM convention in the UK recently, but I couldn't go - I really hope I can go to one while it's still a popular show (I'll still like the show as I didn't get into it for the popularity, but if I'm going to go to a brony con I'd like to go when we're in our droves, not just four people).

Also; 36812 if this turns out to be an official description then Hasbro are not doing basic research on the show...

All my wut. Applejack is looking good for a mare old enough to have Granny as a filly.

[NeoCracker]

It's her all apple diet keeping her in such lean shape all these years.

You know something? Dashie and Fluttershy have completely taken over my favorites page on DeviantART. Okay, all the ponies have, but those two are the worst offenders...

At least that explains the damned blindbags...

I can't believe I didn't think of that...

Also, I think the writers themselves parody Hasbro's inaccurate toys sometimes... well twice, and one was cut out.

I may also put this in the pony group incase it gets buried, but does anyone know how to listen to music, and then write the notes down? If so I would like the notes to a MLP song - it will help with a page I am writing. Thanks.

[GhandiOwnsYou]

I gues you could transcribe it if you could find a midi copy? Your best bet I think would be to hit up one of the guys on Youtube that are doing piano covers and whatnot. Also, you might have some luck hitting up Steffan Andrews on Facebook. He's the composer for FIM's background music and all around awesome guy. He may very well just kick you a file with your requested notation.

I can do that, though it depends on what you need it for and to what degree you want it transcribed. A week ago I would've had all the time in the world, but things have gotten busy so I can't promise anything, but depending on what you need I might be able to crank out it quickly.

Heck, I fell so in love with "This Day Aria" I did a huge analysis of it many pages back. I've been known to transcribe them at home or play around with some of the songs.

One of my favorite things is to add a little descant part with my piccolo trumpet to "Smile, Smile, Smile." I can't listen to it any more without hearing that part that I made up.

So yeah, let me know what song and exactly what you want and I'll see if I have time to take a crack at it.

[Pike]

As Ghandi was saying the easiest way would be finding a MIDI and then opening it up in NoteWorthy Composer or something. I can transcribe by hand but it'd be time-consuming!

It's shouldn't be anything overly complicated. Basically, I need the notes to the My Little Pony Theme that appears in the majority of My Little Pony shows and movies (as well as some episodes of Friendship is Magic too). All I really need is the notes for first part of the song that cover the lyrics "My Little Pony, My Little Pony" (in every version of the song) and then the second part of the song, which has different lyrics in each version (and is only in the full version of the FIM version - the lyrics there being "What is friendship all about?"

Hopefully I've explained it enough, but if you need more help, look at this article (http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/User:MJNSEIFER/Sandbox) and skip to the section "Allusions to the My Little Pony Themesong".

If this doens't work I will look into Ghandi's sugestion. I thank you all for helping me. /)

Okay, for the longest time, I have resisted watching this show. So, finally, I watched episode 1-3, and it was actually pretty good. I hate that I liked it as much as I did. Also, Rarity scares me.

You shouldn't hate yourself for it. I take it you're a guy from your screen name? If so, when you look back on old generations you'll see that (with the acception of generation 3, which I admit, I still like) the My Little Pony TV Series was never really that girly - even when they started trying to aim it towards girls.

Friendship is Magic is coming as close to the very early episodes (which were aimed at children of either gender) as copyright allows it to go. Hence those who avoided ponies as little boys have found them to be cooler as grown men. I really with I'd grown up with the show now...

[Chris]

To be completely honest, I never thought of My Little Pony as being a girly thing at all. This movie was one of my absolut favorites as a kid.
