Fanservice is great and all, but isn't this a little over-pandering? At some point it's got to be at least a little bit embarrassing.

>>236078

It's one episode, not the whole rest of the season.

>>236078
There will be a panda with a ring on it in the episode.

>>236079
We've had fan-stuff featured in episodes before though.

>>236081
But just by bits, this is gonna be an entire episode of it.

And been a long time since the Mailmare has been something other than a background nod.

All dat fanservice. All dem references. That Doctor/Rose bit at the end.

Don’t care if it was pandering. Not. One. Bit. That episode was a blast.

>>236141
Dat changeling. Dat Gummy. Dat Sweetie Drops/Bon Bon secret identity + Celestia has secret government ageneies?! Dat Celestia/Luna bickering. Dat Steven Magnet callback to Rarity's generosity in episode 2. Dat everything.

M.A.Larson's wild fucking ride.

This dude predicted the majority of what would happen in the episode 14-7 days ago. Spoilers, obviously.

The pandering level was over 9,000 but I loved it nevertheless. Larson 4 President.

That was fun.
Kinda weird and on the nose, but fun.

Anybody else miss Luna's Ye Olde English jargon from Luna Eclipsed? It was kind of hokey, and it makes sense that she would mellow out after a while, but I thought it was fun.

So, there's an SFM part of the pony fans that seems to be pretty good at it.

>>236279

Yes, there are some excellent SFM pone animators.

>>236490
What the shit. Context? Photoshop? What?

>>236496
Twilight overworked due to princess duties during a summit and stayed awake for 3 days straight. She collapsed and he's been entrusted to make sure she gets some rest by keeping things quiet.

It's an edit. He's holding a telescope.

They not only did a huge callback to the first episode, they made an entire episode around it!
This is definitively one, if not, the best episode of this season so far.

>>236818
Sneaky bastard.

>>236818

I see you there, Season Finalé Big Bad.

>>236833
Yeeeeeeah, probably not a good idea to make fun of your target demographic's fancharacters.

>>236837

I’m pretty sure Larson meant it as a rib at the expense of the animation crew vis-á-vis their reusing assets for shots featuring large groups of background ponies.

What was that one article that detailed how Hasbro is generally not happy with their audience not being consistent with their demographic? Something about the series having adult fans was seen as being a bad thing, at least as far as business goes.

>>237817
You don't need an article. It is no secret that executives want to be in complete control over who consumes their products. Only the creators themselves don't give a fuck and want everyone to love their work.

>>237817
Wasn't that way back in '09-'10 when things just started rolling and then they saw the sales numbers and decided to clam up?

>>237821
No, it was about 2 years ago I think. It explained why they tried to push Equestria Girls to turn adult fans away.

Pone Anthology V!

Mostly great, but that one part when one participant decided that fullscreen effect is achieved by squishing a widescreen source, and NOT by cropping, was one colossal fail.

Oh wow, they even more lesbian than ever!

>>238027

Hahah.

Overall character development seems to be pretty solid

To bad my phones to fucked to download the update...

>>238160
Anyone know how to fix this Amazon Underground version of the game with BlueStacks? It's running fine except the top bit of the screen is cropped out so I can't see the bits/gems/level info.

>>238186
Dashie is annoyed by cute stuff while living in a friggin town named Cloudsdale where they brew friggin Rainbows and its full of ponies and the friggin ground is full of cute animals and don't get me started on the other villiagesAH! DAMNIT this show went full retard after season 2 and this is just another proof!

>>238199
Dash has always been annoyed by cute stuff, did you just forget Find a Pet or something?

>>238199
She drinks to numb her senses to it all. We know this.

So Project Horizons is done.
Time flys dont it.

10 min. preview of Friendship Games

I had completely forgotten about this project.

>>238238
Skullgirls Engine and Faust designs. Its gonna be pretty good I think.

1 more week until a new episode. urrrrgggh

The dynamic music concept of that new Mane6 game is pretty nifty.

http://www.mane6.com/2015/09/fighting-game-music-and-you-2/

>>238270

I dig it.

And I almost thought there was no MLP thread here...

Yeah, great episode. I kinda get both Rarity and Sassy - frankly, Rarity should have expected what would happen, but she had no experience in selling to a large market in a big city, living in a small town she probably knows all the inhabitants of. And yeah, doing the same thing over and over again is also why I don't play MMOs, so I can relate. If my job was like that, I'd go crazy. On the other hand, Sassy (btw, love the character design... she looks a bit more horse-like and less pony) also did her best and could not have known or expected Rarity not to understand.
I loved the background ponies, Goth Pony and Sunny were awesome.

>>238391
If the next two are going to be as solid as this one, then I'll welcome your new overpony.
Specially since the third one will be rarijack fodder for the masses.

>>238400
I'm happy they didn't make Sassy an outright villain which would have been so easy to do in a story like this. She was genuinely trying to help Rarity and make her business succeed. They just disagreed with what sort of business they wanted.

Friendship Games isn't even out yet... and the soundtrack is on Amazon. Spoiler heavy, you can tell what the general plot will be from some of the songs.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0159585GG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0159585GG&linkCode=as2&tag=equestr-20&linkId=ZVHFCCYXDMDVZLMP


That villain song is straight up Disney.

itunes accidentally leaked the Halloween episode the Scare Master. Available at your local piracy convenience store.

>>238806
>Shy makes weeaboo art
Ha!
This show continues to be alright this season.

That crystal table doesn't seem to be getting much use though. They made such a big deal about it in the beginning, but so far there's only been like 2/3 episodes on it

Best Rarijack episode! And a good epsiode to boot.
Also, have this:

>>238819
>Shy likes Ranma 1/2
She's not my favorite character, but this is pretty cute.

>>238910
>Friendship Games was fucking amazing.
And it only took 3 trys.

The ending was cool but the movie itself was more like an elongated episode.

I still think RR is the best of the three.

>>238915
tries

So according to Equestria Twilight, she couldn't make it on time because of a time travel loop, meaning that the season finale is pretty much as I imagined.
I will enjoy Starlight Glimmer downfall, as much as I enjoyed Reverse Flash's downfall as well.
And yeah, while it feels like an stretched regular episode, it was good. Too bad there wasn't too many focus on the rest of Crystal Prep, I'm pretty interested on knowing more about the other girls, this anti-Mane Six had a lot of possibilities. I still wonder if we're gonna get an EQG show after the main show ends.

>>238940
Whta's with her vlogs?
I think those are fine, and is funny to see someone from Channel Awesome that is into MLP.

By the way Twister, what do you think of The Rift Café, and the MLP analyst community?

>>238946
I don't watch analysts. I think they are...... not needed.

Please call me anon. I use names because I think it makes conversations less confusing.

>>239275
from what I saw in the deleted scenes why can't Sunset spend her summer vacation in equestra

Well.

That happened.

>>239281
Let me guess.
The finally got them, right?

>>239286

Yup.

>>239288
Even ignoring all of my other criticisms of this episode, those designs are just ugly and too busy.

>>239292
They do not need the symbols in the symbols. Just the shield with one symbol would have been fine,

>>239293
I would have preferred they didn't share the shield at all. It's a creepy implication that all three got basically the same cutie mark. Like Fate or Destiny determined they can never stop being friends, ever. Not even the mane6, the show's epitome of friendship, shares cutie mark designs.

but why purple?

>>239294
Well I don't much care for the implication that marks designate your fate for the rest of your life anyway. As if you couldn't develop a new talent and pursue new ventures later in life.
Far as the designs go for the sake of the show as it stands, I think it works well enough that they share it.

>>239294

Which brings me to the question why you still watch that trash? It ends after Season 2. Fact.

>>239309
Whine some more. Other than this episode and Princess Spike, season 5 has been better than season 2.

>>239308

Oh please. If Twister was 0r0ch1, he’d be doing a hell of a lot more trolling.

>>239311
It's shark jumping (yeah... I know it's a cartoon) and putting slapstick in it ALL the time... and those wings on Twilight... no. I refuse.

>>239312
Most likely, I've seen that asshole in action. And Kayla. Their shit behaviour and their scum fanbases. Both terrible people. And all their fans should be ashamed.

>>239315
I can actually sympathize. When I first saw the Season 3 finale, I thought Twilight becoming an alicorn princess was really dumb. And if the show ended right then, I would still think that. But it didn't and, much to my surprise, Twilight being a princess actually lead into some really good stories, and the overall quality of the show has gone nowhere but up since she got her wings. Honestly, after hearing all these people praise Seasons 4 and 5, still refusing to watch the show and writing it off as trash is just stupid. You're not hating it because it's bad, you're hating it because it's different.

>>239319
I read more hate than praise.

How retarded is it to be forced to like shit everyone likes, because the majority of mankind is stupid?
That means I have to like Littlest Cash-in, Homesuck, Understory or how that garbage is called that floods Paheal with boring crap, Minecraft, ...

I'm too old to follow everything people want me to.

>>239351
Yeah, well maybe you can just stick to the stuff you like then. No one's forcing any of this on you. At best you're just overhearing conversations

>>239351

Dude, you’re being kinda dumb here. Nobody is forcing you to like pones, Homestuck, Undertale, Twilight, Fury Road, the NFL, or whatever else is “mainstream” or “popular”. If you don’t like or don’t want to follow something, it isn’t really that hard to tell people you don’t like or don’t want to follow the thing. If they can’t respect that, that is their problem—and if they stop talking to you or whatever because of that lack of shared interest, you’ll probably be better off without them in your life.

>>239351
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this not you?

>>239309
>Which brings me to the question why you still watch that trash? It ends after Season 2. Fact.

You specifically came into this thread to criticize others for watching the show and to make authoritative claims about how bad it is. Now here you are admitting you don't watch the show and playing the victim because apparently you are being "forced" to like the show by "people."

If you lost interest in the show after Season 2, fine. If you kept watching decided Seasons 3-5 weren't good, fine. But don't comment on the quality of something you've never seen, and don't get angry when someone recommends something to you because they think it's good.

Not as big as the past episode, but it was a hell, or should I say, hay(?) of a ride for that crazy Pie!

>>239505 BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

Pretty much!
Also, loved the awkward romance between Big Mac and Marble Pie

Looking at a big pony, for them.

While the animation of MLP is great, frontal view always looked like shit. On the other hand, I dunno how else they would look.

Equines in general look kinda silly head on.
Hence the term horse faced.

They still look cute like pygmy ponies.. well more like pygmy ponies.

>>240609
Its really hard to not make a fart joke about this gif...

>>240609
You did WHAT to Big Mac?

>>240619

Ehhhhh YUP

People suck.

There are shitlords in every community sad but true.

>>240628
Something everyone needs to be reminded of when they're leaving a community.

>>240635
Was a common Joke in the '90s Obsessive Depraved Fans. When did people forget they existed. Even MLP had a few of them before Gen 5.

>>241641
Are those single pack ponies the same size as the "mystery bag" figures?

>>241637
Oh hey, show accurate and articulated figures. It took a big toy company like Hasbro six seasons but I guess its better late than never.

>>242217

That Derpy answer, tho’. Hah.

>>242217
Saw the image first, and thought she meant that Chrysalis had exploded into squirrels after her defeat.

>>242217
>>242286
But didn't Faust leaved production after season two?

>>242294
She did leave, but she is still the creator of the show.

//youtube.com/watch?v=Mvnjs21aIcU

It is rather pretty

She's so off in style somehow.

>>242664
Perhaps it is too obvious how they made her NOT UGLY while being surrounded by mostly ugly 99.9% of all the dragons. Kind of sticks out.

>>242669

What's that, their kid? :D
I do hope they are not gonna make a Rarity/Ember/Spike love triangle. But I did love the episode, great designs and finally we get to see more dragons, plus Ember had a nice story arc of proving herself to her father but also overcoming the racial bias of dragons against helping each other.

>>242694
>overcoming the racial bias of dragons against helping each other
How is helping each other "racial bias"?? I know you are trying your best, but perhaps you should improve your English.
