Equestria Daily : AJ Day Comics: AJ\'s Secret / Sugarcube / Glitterface / Introducing Family / Pillow Fight / Unicarro

AJ Day Every Day. That Faux comic. It stole my heart. But given it's always belonged to AJ, I guess it isn't really stealing.

Equestria Daily : Lauren Faust No Longer Working on Medusa

Thu, 26 Nov 2015 03:10:10 +0000

I thought it was a Disney project. lol I am not surprised ONE BIT by this sort of thing from Sony. Have you SEEN how these people discuss 'creative' direction with people? Hell, if you haven't read the Sony mails for the MLP movie at the very least then you should! lol 'Creative difference' means Sony wants something fast and cheap, Lauren wanted something with integrity that could have costed Sony probably a pinch more in animation and voice over dollars. :P It's okay, it was doomed to end this way eventually with a Sony Pictures film. It's THEIR WAY or THEIR WAY. There are no compromises at Sony Studios. Oh well, now that we know it'll just be some lame love story where she wins the guy at the end I suppose there's no point in going to see the movie now. :P

Now that was a sweet Episode Follow-Up. So long, Amy Keaton Rogers. Knock'em dead over at Disney! Also, seems Amy Keaton couldn't help bring along some ponies with her in the form of first year's Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Diamond Tiara: https://youtu.be/sCXQ06yaNDs?t=246 Just look at those colors and designs.

Equestria Daily : Season 5 Episode 23 - Hooffields and McColts - Streams and Discussion

Sat, 14 Nov 2015 19:55:27 +0000

Sonic Underground did it better. <insert several other shows that did it better> Friendship is Magic? I sort of wish they hadn't wasted an episode on this overdone hillbilly feuding. This episode really proves my point of how uninspired the writing has become. A whole season long to see what Twilight ends up with and we end up with... hillbillies. Ponies trying to legit kill each other with shovels and wood piercing carrots. Highlights of the episode would be the opening. Twilight getting a tomato to the face. Twilight having to cast a spell on her vocals to be heard from a distance. Fluttershy playing up Twilight and showing how highly she thinks of her friend. Fluttershy getting to be the one in the spotlight for once without having others fix the problems for her. Subjective point De-powering Twilight Sparkle to counter how powerful she's become since showcasing her physical and magical prowess back in *Castle Mane-ia*. This feels more like they don't want unicorns to be classed to be as strong as alicorns but not impossible if you study REALLY hard like Starlight Glimmer. Overall this is now my *least* favorite episode. Yeah, games ponies play finally got beat. This was played far too formulaic and let's really hope we don't end up with nothing but writing this bad in s6.

Equestria Daily : Another Video Demonstration for that Ambient. Prologue game has Been Released

Sat, 14 Nov 2015 11:56:57 +0000

You can never have enough Luna sisters. <3 Hope you can at least figure some way to implement a glide feature for later game puzzles and such. Platforming and figuring ways to get to places seem fun. Maybe some day in the far off future little Kitrini can be used to go through tight openings Astrum can't get through and possibly have a FF6's Relm where she can make more copies of herself to solve puzzles or distract enemies. You know, when she ever discovers the magic or innate ability for it. Who knows. Game has tons of potential. Have fun experimenting!

Equestria Daily : John de Lancie Hints That the Next Hiatus May End In a Year

Thu, 12 Nov 2015 14:50:06 +0000

A whole year without any pony? It'll practically be a ghost town in this fandom by the time they air the next season. Eh, it would only mean lower toy sales on Hasbro's end so it balances itself out I guess. :P

Equestria Daily : A New Pony Adventure Game is in Alpha - Ambient. Prologue

Tue, 10 Nov 2015 21:50:57 +0000

That's a damn fine Alpha. Way to showcase the raw potential of what a Next Gen pony came can be like! I would play the hell out of an Alpha demo. It'd STILL have less bugs than Assassin's Creed Unity. And this already looks nicer. xD Honestly the clothing and mane look gorgeous. The VA for Erris(?) is doing an adorably good job. And Celestia looking one is just smooth as silk. Great cast so far! Love that Witcher 3 vibe it gives off despite I suppose looking more Skyrim? Feels very Witcher 3 at least. Hope the snowball fight has the spell greatly reduced in speed or show you levitate multiple snow balls to make the rapit hits look reasonable. Speed could still be reduced to on the projectile a tad as well. That run spell or whatever that was looked real pretty. Amazing job. That's the best Alpha anything I've seen. Princess of Art. That's too cute. Loved the whole talk about the moon. xD HASBRO! STOP BEING IDIOTS AND LET COMPETENT PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MAKE A NEXT GEN GAME MAKE A DAMN GAME! XD

Equestria Daily : Jan Animation Reveals Everything From His Year Cease and Desist Hell with Hasbro

Tue, 10 Nov 2015 21:28:27 +0000

I love how some think Hasbro is some misguided company solely out to 'protect' their IP. Nope. Like I've been saying. And proven right correctly. He got C&D because he made a background pony POPULAR. TOO popular. Now. How does Hasbro use this to make the the numbers for the show go up? Throw in a scene or two of Button in the next season! They always wanted a likavle male pony to be used more on the show. Easing in Jan's hard word into making some mostly seasons unused background colt that all but had under 3 seconds screen time popular and they have a pony that can become a potential side character in S6! Low and behold... AS PREACHED! BUTTON MASH appears in S5 in Slice of Life! THEN thrown in AGAIN in the 5th Anniversary episode where animators were clearly confused which color to go with as they actually used JAN'S darker brown over the lighter one they used in other scenes. In CotLM here, Button even gets a bit part in the song (just yells out a short blurb) AND appears a lot in this episode, including a scene with Tiara and ends up IN THE FREAKING END PICTURE! A character they had ZERO INTERESTS in EVER using throughout ALL the seasons beyond his TWO micro appearances, and NOW Hasbro, whose STEALING AND RIDING OFF OF JAN ANIMATION'S POPULARITY has his FAN RECOGNITION he gave to that particular background pony. Now... How does Hasbro make people FORGET about Jan? Make him... UN-famous? SIMPLE! You C&D the guy into not being allowed to produce any new content with ponies. You FORCE him to take down any video that can be pointed to as the SOURCE of the success you're hoping to milk before the fandom forgets about him. Fandom upset mad? Play the "Nice Guy" and allow him to reupload the most famous youtube video that STARS the pony they want to milk. Top it off with the SLEAZIEST and SCUMMIEST and most COMMON TRICK LAWYERDOM and STALL FOR TIME. Fandom lose interests quickly when the source of their entertainment is unable to provide them with newer content. Fans move on. Fans will always remember that brown colt as Button Mash. Might watch the show or buy his toys. Hasbro rakes in money they didn't earn. Jan got played super hard. Hasbro is all about numbers. About CAPITALISM. These are the same people who REFUSED to invest NEW money for a movie. Money that had to be split between a SEASON and a NEW spin-off of that series. Yeah, S3 13 ep and EQG movie shared the budget between the two projects. Same company that just went "Huh, apparently if we refuse to air new episodic content for a full straight year for our toy line people stop buying our products and lose interest in our brand." Yeah, don't forget DHX is NOT running the show here. They work for a bunch of close-minded OLD THINKING and very NUMBERS DRIVEN people. Jan should have hired a lawyer from the start. Fans would have showered him with funds ages ago. Hell, we HAVE lawyers who are bronies! TL;DR: HASBRO: "Just as Keikaku" - (Translation: "Keikaku" means "Plan") Hey, JAN! Big question. *cough* Did you happen to stop getting responses after Slice of Life? They were probably about done or starting to animate Crusaders of the Lost Mark around that point. Whenever Hasbro gave the SPECIFIC MANDATE to ADD BUTTON MASH into that episode is probably when they just straight up chose to ignore you. Keep in mind, animation is the final step in FiM. It only takes several weeks at MOST to do it and they tackle THREE EPS at a time, if I recall correctly they always do these animation process two months before an episode is due to air, which is why we always get the episode that finishes first of the three to air. http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Animation Hasbro. You're damn dirty. Filthy. Disgusting. Heartless. Selfish. Crooks. I can't wait for S6 to see who voices Button.

Equestria Daily : Discussion: Which Fanfiction Would You Like to See Adapted as a Pony Movie or Series?

Mon, 9 Nov 2015 04:52:04 +0000

Oh sweet Luna, YES! THIS story! All my love for this story! xD It's basically Lord of the Rings without actually copying from Lord of the Rings. xD Great friendshipping, self-discovery, and overall character growth and lore building awesomeness.

Equestria Daily : Discussion: Which Fanfiction Would You Like to See Adapted as a Pony Movie or Series?

Mon, 9 Nov 2015 04:48:37 +0000

If it were possible? Prak's Roll for Initiative 2nd chapter, or just that story's theme and message adapted to fit the show and rating. It does have a moral it teaches Luna, and by extension the audience as well. It'd sorta be like Reading Rainbow episode where you trasition between them playing a game and trying to have a good time, to switching to the characters they play in the made up world. https://www.fimfiction.net/story/141746/2/roll-fo... Beyond that? I think my top pick for best friendshipping would have to be https://www.fimfiction.net/story/749/ah-aint-got-... as it practically embodies everything that was Friendship is Magic. It's even got some fun Pie Family moments sprinkled in. Without a doubt probably one of the nicest forms of friendshipping and being true to who you are episode potential out there. https://www.fimfiction.net/story/213928/paper-pro... with barely any need to alter much of this to fit canon, this lesson on the concept and importance on what trust is and why promises are not to be taken lightly. It's a powerful message. Not only is it presented in a clever way, it really does it in a way that speaks to the younger audience in a way that's easy to grasp, but at the same time it doesn't talk down to them. It's sure to get through to them on what the concept behind a "Promise" is and how that relates and affects their future when it comes to trust and reliability in the things you say. Far as movie potential goes? I'd love to see one made with Spike in a sort of serious tone PG-13 setting. While the story sadly ends after its first big season cliffhanger, https://www.fimfiction.net/story/116782/zenith , it's still pretty moving. No quickfix here. Just a curse and one small hope. If I could pick any form of fiction to be a movie or series that was aimed for an older audience though I'd go with Harmony Theory or something. I can't really say. Fanfiction is just too big a beast to say who deserves to be made an episode or not. So many good stories and yet so many just don't feel like a good fit for the show itself. The Ballad of Twilight Sparkle being adapted to a series or mini-series would be amazing though. <3 Too many fics and not enough time. But any of the above as show eps or its own movie/series would be sweet.

Equestria Daily : Jay Fosgitt Friends Forever #24 SPOC Sneak Peek!

Thu, 5 Nov 2015 02:19:14 +0000

That soulcrushing disappointment when you go back far enough in EQD official comics posts to find this is just a Gilda going all the way from Griffonstone to ask Rarity to design a team uniform for her and her. Pass. But at least Kyo might get a kick out of it.

Equestria Daily : G.M. Berrow Drops Tweet Response After Major Spoiler

Thu, 5 Nov 2015 00:35:34 +0000

It's a timey-whimy episode. The official poster even shows Starlight Glimmer in a sort of submissive friendly pose looking back at Twilight Sparkle. This whole two-part starter basically reveals she has some sort of past issue with ponies looking down on her because they have better talents or bigger destinies than her own. Possibly as somepony whose been shown up constantly by others and overlooked in life and sought out to create a world where no pony is better than anypony else, especially not herself. Twilight will go back, fix her event to not be so hateful anymore, and take her under her wing as a pony who needs to learn to conform to society's ways of worshipping buttmarks above all things. That G.M. Berrows thing would be a spoiler only if you haven't been paying attention to the show thus far. Hasbro ain't gonna let some female villain be that sadistic if they didn't already have big plans to reform her. S5's only surprise this season was the CMC getting double cutie marks without earning the other half and not having to dedicate more than one episode towards the first half to make it 'make sense' to have. Forcing change on the show staff though with your complaints only to complain when you get what you wish for though made me smile though. Everyone wanted them to get them, now many are pissed they didn't get the better cutie mark symbols despite having the top voted talents people shouted out for them to have stuffed into their new destinies to help others learn what they're supposed to like and why they're supposed to like and excel at stuff. lol xD But I digress, lol, while the writing is pretty bare-bones by the books so far, either predictable as sin or makes no sense, the storyboarders and animators along with voice cast thankfully makes the show more than enjoyable in a visual sense. And honestly that's what most people care about, amiright? Sure seems that way most of the times. So let's all sit back and enjoy the final episodes of the season and see just how beautifully they reset canon and resurrect Applejack's parents (I'm so going to relish the reaction to this one. Oh, it's totally gonna happen!) and who knows what else happens. It's gonna be fun and the animation will be a blast no doubt! *maniacal laughter* Nothing wrong ever happens when you alter key points in time, right? XD

HEY! That's shippers, with an "s" at the end! There's MORE than just me! I think. Pretty sure... Yeah, totally plural! RariDash *shippers*! There's, like, at least 3, maybe 5 of us. Totally plural shippers of the RariDash. https://derpicdn.net/img/2015/10/17/1004054/large... https://derpibooru.org/1013313 How do you nail Ramna AND Utena... but not figure out Bulma from Dragon Ball? That's... just boggles the mind, honestly. Though, when you got Ramna you don't really need much else. But props if you ever happened to watch Utena! This was a fun episode. Nice to see more people share the love of Fluttershy having a masochistic tail slap fetish. The things she and Rarity get up. Such creative and great friends those two ponies, such great friends. xD

Equestria Daily : \"Scare Master\": Episode Followup

Mon, 2 Nov 2015 09:02:06 +0000

Dragon Ball: Fluttershy runs and hides whenever Bulma yells. She's way too scary in Dragon Ball. Don't blame her, Bulma gives lots of people nightmares with the faces she makes. xD Evangelion: She got tired of yelling at Ichi to "GET IN THE DAMN ROBOT!" (I kid, it's EVA. Fluttershy probably never got past the nosebleed part.) Utena: She blushes too hard as she keeps picturing Rainbow Dash being her knight and making out in bed of roses. *pomf* There goes her wings again. Ramna 1/2: Fluttershy has had one too many weird dreams about living with a biped hairless brown ape with rainbow hair. She refuses to say anymore on the matter save for it being really hard to walk with 5 legs. Sailor Moon: She's actually not afraid of Sailor Moon, per se, it just saddens her to see Usagi get picked on so much over her hair. And those are Fluttershy's five fears of anime! (aside from that, she'd actually love to have them over for tea. With enough notice of course.)

Equestria Daily : \"Hearthbreakers\": Episode Followup

Mon, 26 Oct 2015 04:21:52 +0000

The problem with this fandom when it comes to characters that aren't the "Shut up and look cute" types, is that whenever you try to introduce a character with the slightest bit of temperment like Limestone whose a bit too suspcious of outsiders and overprotective of her farm and family, is their kneejerk reaction to "WORST PONY", "B*tch is EVIL!", and "How do we redeem this c*nt?" as they'll immediately ignore subtle moments like Limestone immediately halting her anger towards Applejack when Pinkie Pie took the blame as well to Lime's troubles with AJ. That she's a heartless b*tch for how she acted. Also, I'd like to see Big Mac hit Limestone over her asserting her territory with *words*, Maud would be on him like sand in a desert. Not to mention become worst pony. Stuff would get real dirty real fast. So more lucky Big Mac didn't choose violence, as apparently many here would prefer apparently. I found Limestone to be very bossy, hot-blooded, a bit of a grand stander. But she's practical, and as long as her family is happy then she's happy. But it was clear she didn't take kindly to the Apples belittling their way of doing things. None of them were. AJ refused to be open-minded again, right from the start before she even got on the train you knew where this was going, and made a legit fool of herself and ruined the Pie Family's morning, had it not been for Granny Smith it would have been a complete disaster had AJ not owned up to face Pinkie's family to apologize and help out. Limestone saw her sincerity, saw to her family and all agreed to accept the apology and the help, and so it was done. You can't go calling people worst ponies or evil over the slightest hint of aggression they show. There is a thing people seem to think is theirs by birth right, and that's their immediate trust and respect. NO! Those two things are EARNED and for many people it can take a LONG TIME to earn both the trust and respect of others. So f*ck off to all you pansies calling Limestone worst pony and trying to imply she somehow purposefully wanted to hurt Pinkie's feelings. 'Cause she wasn't and she was pretty damn guilty looking for having made her sister feel sad over what she said. But that's the general problem with this fandom. They put characters that are shy and don't speak as if these types of people are all nice little Fluttershys, when in many cases, they are selfish, judgemental, deceitful, and the type to have someone else tell you what they should be saying in their own words. Where as more honest individuals tend to be more passionate and outgoing, with actual personality that can share their thoughts including the very things they dislike along with the good. New new Fluttershy whose basically an old ass OC daughter of Big Mac is now canon ship to her dad? Sure, why not. And they could be cousins! We don't know, because writers can't seem to just come up and make a firm choice! Seriously, Limestone made this episode interesting. Buncha pansies. Always flocking to your Fluttershy, New Old Coco Fluttershy, Taco Siren, and New Newer Fluttershy waifus. Mhm. Also this has got to be the thinnest and most glazed over episode review in a long bucking time. I call do over!

Seeing how they all appear to be blank flanks, including Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, this might be Pre-Everything. XD Cutie Marks will likely be added in after much later after the main inking is done. Possibly, assuming this isn't some before Diamond and Silver were so anti-blank flanks that lead to Diamond getting her cutie mark in leadership or something.

Diamond Tiara was always awesome. Also, snowflaking the hell out of this but TOTALLY CALLED IT! THEIR DESTINIES WERE BOUND FROM THE START! XD Diamond Tiara would lead to the CMC getting their cutie marks. #Lifeisgood #Filly5 #Hastags #PonyIWannaBe Now all we need is a Diamond Tiara and Trixie episode. Why? Because a certain pokemon just keeps repeating the words "Why not?" so Why not? But seriously, S6. Diamond Tiara, Rarity, Sweetie Belle. Make this episode reality! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOLecy4jYHg
