There is one thing I wonder in the aftermath of all this.
If the same standards of writing, animation, characterization, voice acting, music, etc. had all been applied to a different brand-new cartoon, aimed at the same audience, but without the whole pony thing, would it have been anywhere near as internet-successful?

Im pretty sure not, or at least not as BIG as this is. Why? I can say that most of us always though of this show (the original and subsequently until G3) as nothing but a joke, a show just made to sell toys and nothing else. That's the bigger surprise ever, when i actually watched one episode i was "WTF? My Little Pony CAN NOT BE GOOD!! Why FiM is GOOD?? MLP is not allowed to BE GOOD!!!!!!! And here we are, one season down and waiting impaciently for the next.

Overall, gaming side has been pretty tolerant when not blasted with slashfic pony pictures. I've dropped normal pony pictures without problem.

And this picture really can go with anything.

And there were no negative reactions when I said my E3 .gifs would be MLP based. Though I might not use MLP. Depends on the subject i go with, because I won't make a .gif that people would have to have seen MLP for for the E3 .gifs . I want it to be funny to everyone.

Dude, we've know this from the beginning. Twilight was sent on a mission by Celestia to integrate into, and report her fidings of, the Earth Pony village of Ponyville which is at the extreme end of Equestria.

I dunno! Haha I just remember some folk talking about it a couple pages back, the idea quickly got sidetracked by Duckroll's news from the bossman.

I think the poster said he would post up a reminder later though! I don't really remember who's heading it though, like I said I sort of just skimmed through the 1k posts I was behind on.

I sadly get a feeling that sometime soon people will get sick of my yu-gi-oh! pics.

Just saw that spain will get the dubbed version in June, going to see also that to see how the voice actors are going to do it.

Also, even with all the internet fandom, what are the ratings of the show?, I hope good to see more seasons if they are as good.

That'd be me. I'm gonna post about it later with all the details but all you need to know right now is that it is going down at midnight GMT and if you are interested post here or PM me so I know who to PM the password to.

Steamlord · May 6, 2011

I've been so busy lately I only just got around to watching last week's episode. It's definitely one of my favorites, and it might be my favorite Pinkie Pie episode.

Oh, and that party music is nearly as good as that of Castle Crashers.

Huh, I wasn't even aware that there had been a pre-existing franchise awareness on GAF in the first place. I guess I can see how a generally good show in the face of dismal expectations could provoke an attachment, it's just... creating a strong fanbase is one thing, but the level of dedication/obsession this reaches sometimes boggles the mind. It's nowhere near Touhou levels or anything, but it's probably the biggest fanwork generator I've seen to come from western media.

12 GMT =

8pm EDT
7pm CDT

Least I hope that's right, or I'm going to look very foalish.

I think good (for HUB anyway) since the series is already getting a third season.

No, it's not taken. Did you want just Pinkie cropped or did you want both of them squeezed in there? Were you looking for transparency?

But that also doesn't mean you(SpacePirate Ridley) shouldn't watch tomorrow's episode with us. The show is sufficiently episodic that since you are already on Episode 9 you understand most all of the mechanics/much of the culture.

OMG Aero · May 6, 2011

UberTag said:

Yeah it's probably worth mentioning that when I say GMT I actually mean UK time. During the summer, the UK changes from GMT to BST which is one hour ahead of BST. I always say GMT mainly because of force of habit, and also because everyone I know here equates GMT to being "What time it is in London right now".
But every time I have mentioned the time I also linked to this page which should have the correct times for everyone without anyone having to do conversions.

Can you tell I hate time zones?

Our beautiful and glorious queen said we must never speak of the times..you know...before...

When they said that ponies were taking over, some laughed. Others were a little more agreeable, and...proactive in the name of self preservation.

So its not really a season "finale" then. I mean, theres not like a final ark with an epic little story like in the first 2 episodes.

Myke Greywolf · May 6, 2011

You horrible, horrible people. I turn around for 2 hours to watch some Adventure Time, and you make 150 posts. How am I supposed to keep up?

Well, I know in Lost whenever something couldn't be explained the answer was magnets. I find it comforting to know that AJ has magnetic horseshoes.

What if they ALL have magic magnetic (magicnetic?) horseshoes?

"Fucking horseshoes, how do they work?"
"It's magic, I don't have to explain shit!"

It all makes sense now!

Nah, she's just one of them Canterlot city slickers. Real, red-blooded countryside ponies do it as it should be done.

A layout artist for the show who answered some questions on 4chan said that, although the Hub never gave any numbers, they told the production team that the show was one of the top rated ones on the channel, tied with Pound Puppies.

SpacePirate Ridley said:

Well, it is an arc if you consider that the Grand Galloping Gala has been the theme for 2 episodes throughout the season, plus the one that we're going to watch tomorrow.

AceBandage · May 6, 2011

Speaking of which, is Pound Puppies also a new version, or is it the one from ages ago?

Foxix Von · May 6, 2011

How are these?

Neki · May 6, 2011

Those Gen 1 designs were so ugly, omg. The current art for MLP just blows everything out of the water.

Unless there is a sudden shift for this episode, none of the episodes aside from the first two are connected directly to each. There is a sense that there is an order to the episodes (Some episodes will have little callbacks to other ones and the finale is about the Grand Galloping Gala which was first mentioned in episode 3 and has been referenced as having not happened yet in episode 14) but if the next episode is the same as the rest of the series then you won't miss anything except maybe a small reference or two by watching it out of order.

It is also a remake. It's supposedly not very good, but the second season is going to be made by the same studio as MLP:FiM, and that has piqued my interest slightly.
