I think part of the nineties aesthetics have to take in the kind of gravitation to geometric design and clean gray shades that came from the architecture and interior decoration considered professional. The kind of stuff they saw as cutting edge technology back then. There was a lot of office aesthetics that were considered earmarks for technology, as a sort of counter to the RADICAL social design.
It's a sort of growth from designs started in the eighties, but slimmed down and brightened for the nineties.
>>237664 The diversification of media and sub-cultures in the '90s does make it hard to pin down a distinctly '90s "style", but if we're sticking with kids' stuff I do agree there was a tangible shift towards "XTREEEME!" concepts and trappings. More specifically, the co-opting of rebellious imagery by corporations and the establishment to either sell brands or push conformist messages (y'know, "radical dudes don't do drugs", that sort of thing). Kids my age didn't buy it because the stuff being pumped out was always a bit too sleek and colourful (before the grime filter came down in the noughties). It was like a game we all played with the brands being shoved on us, where we took pride in being smarter than the media we consumed and yet still consumed it, which is where the "irony" part comes in.
One of the things I really like about this show is every now and then they produce a contextualizing episode. At first I wasn't overly fond of Historical Friction, but then I realized it was meant more to shine a light on Pearl than stand on its own.
They're basically directly addressing the issues fans had been complaining about with this sort of demonstration that Pearl had flaws and it was starting to bother them. Which, honestly, is fairly clever story telling in its own right, but still, it made me develop a further appreciation for what they're doing.

Late to the party, but... I find it utterly bizarre that M.A. Larson participated in the "bronies react to season 5 premiere" video. Especially since he wrote it.
I remember watching a few episodes of this. It felt like somehow they were trying too hard to not try hard. Just a million kinds of the most obvious jokes in the world. Don't know if it got any better after a few episodes but just goddamn, so many jokes were just...the low hanging fruit of comedy.
Doesn't help that Daniel Tosh as the bear sounded phoned in.
It is over, really? I thought it was over before, especially when they did an episode about their own cancellation, but like vomit, this show just always comes back.
Bee and Puppycat has some interesting questions going for it. Ones concerning the plot, and also how any of it is going to get wrapped up satisfyingly in four and a half two-part episodes. Maybe it's set up so that if it gets enough of a return in ads, they'll use that to make a bit more?
