Best episode of season 2 so far. That's all I'm gonna say.

Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: >9000)

This episode has taken the throne for favourite S2 episode, no doubt.

On an unrelated note, I finally got a McDonalds pony toy :D The stupid ring attachment is annoying though.

Also thanks to EqD I can't unhear this scene.

Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: >9000)

Just in case you guys haven't heard yet. (incoming pagestretch)

The finale looks like it's going to be epic, and apparently Hasbro is going all out on marketing and publicity. They're even getting Tori Spelling (who hosted the actual royal wedding) to host it. Is it bad that I'm more excited for this wedding than I was for the actual one?

Have some news.

Tori Spelling To Host 'My Little Pony' Royal Wedding

Right on the heels of the news that she's pregnant with her fourth child, Tori Spelling has another important announcement: She's hosting the "My Little Pony" Royal Wedding.

As part of the festivities, Spelling will host a "bridle" shower event at the Tea House in Culver City on Saturday, April 14 and appear in the commercials for the wedding special.

The two-part "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" Royal Wedding episode, “A Canterlot Wedding,” will air on Saturday, April 21, from 1-2 p.m. ET on The Hub.

And more news.

I was in the middle of watching Around the Horn on ESPN about a half hour ago, and I saw a commercial from our cable service advertising the My Little Pony Royal Wedding with a trip to London.

Looks like Hasbro's TV media blitz has begun.

EDIT: This was the clip I was talking about. I did not record this. It's nothing special, but I just thought it was weird to see MLP being advertised on ESPN.

I like to make little paper hats and use the key ring nub as support. I have Pope Fluttershy, party hat Lily Blossom, Chef AJ, and a few others. I'm justifying this severe lack of manliness by telling myself this is more of a TF2 thing than an MLP thing. It actually might be true, even. God I love hats.

Also Hurricane Fluttershy is one of the few episodes I have gone back to and watched for no reason. Seriously, everything about that episode was just stellar. I used to wonder how long the upward quality trend would last back in S1, I worried about a possible sophomore slump, but it just keeps getting better! Compare the first few episodes of S1 to pretty much any of the last couple episodes. The bump in animation and music quality is insane. Am I psyched for the finale? Better ****ing believe it. It'll probably top the Archer finale, at least.

Too bad the brony thing got as big as it did, though. I really can't help but think the community hit its peak quite a while back. Any of you guys going to be at AnimeNorth by any chance? Seems like most of FFR is going and it'd be nice to meet a fellow MLP fan that doesn't immediately irritate me.

Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: >9000)

Oh shit, I'll actually be in Toronto that weekend (and Waterloo for the uWaterloo open house). I've never been to a convention though, so I dunno if I'd go. It seems fun but I'd have nobody to go with, since I don't live in Toronto.

Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: >9000)

I hit 1 year on this account!

Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: >9000)

congratulations RD! :D

LMAO at 10:55

Great episode as usual.

Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: >9000)

This song is so epic I might get around to stepping it.

Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: >9000)

The first CMC episode that I would consider to be on par with regular episodes. Unfortunately, the best jokes were made without their involvement. imo their classmates are more interesting. Especially that pudgy grey colt who keeps forgetting to turn his swag off.

edit: Pictures of pony head nubs being repurposed for hats is on my list of shit to do. This means it may or may not be done within the next decade.

oops i mean MUDKIPKIPKIPKIPKIP MUDKIPKIP MUDKIPKIPKIP

Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: >9000)

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the episode. I actually thought best parts were of the mane 6, but overall the episode was pretty great.

Also, favourite part:

Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: >9000)

double post for justice

I'll just leave this here.

Also, have some huge images.

Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: >9000)

Did anyone else play around with the Rarity pony generator thing from megamon's link there to try to see what ponies you could make from the show? You'll have to kind of "wing-it" since you don't have all the right parts for all the ponies (Rarity's eyes but not her mane, tail, or cutie mark, but there is a similar cutie mark and mane/tail which can kind of work, for example)

They have a bubbles cutie mark (wink wink, nudge nudge)

Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: >9000)

Commence the shitstorm.

Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: >9000)

Pretty good episode today. Lots of great moments, and overall the episode was pretty funny. My favourite part was definitely the accusations from 9:20 to 12:50.

Now we have a 2-week break until the finale. Hopefully it turns out to be great!

Re: Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: >9000)

I for one am going to hold a grudge for those next two weeks. I got nothing but work at school, have no breaks in between them, and it's full of projects and that will probably be my schedule for the next two weeks.
