Thinking over MLP:FIM S4E1-2

Thoughts on S4:E1+2: Princess Twilight Sparkle This is, without a doubt, the most heavily hyped set of episodes thus far. After all the endless controversy that the Season 3 finale brought to the fandom, these episodes have a lot of work to do. Even moreso than the S3 finale, these episode bear the burden of making us believe that yes, all of the changes to the status quo that the third season made can work. It needs to answer all the questions about Twilight’s new role as well as cover what’s up with Discord. There’s a lot of ground to cover in just two episodes, and given FIM’s previous issues with pacing, there

Thinking Over Double Rainboom

Thoughts on Double Rainboom SPOILERS AHEAD Okay, the first thing I want to note here is the criteria by which I'm judging this. I recognize that it's a fan work made by non-professionals, and that it likely won't live up to the show's quality level, and as such a lot of the critiques I'm going to make are going to seem a bit on the harsh side. However, I have a reason for this: the animation has been, for over a year at this point, touted as “the first-ever fan-made episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". That's a direct quote from DoubleRainboom.com's FAQ page. The guy heading the project was quoted at Bronycon as saying

Thinking Over MLP:FIM Season 3, Episode 13

Thoughts on S3E13: Magical Mystery Cure Okay, yeah, no matter what I say about this episode it's gonna be a minefield, so just don't freak out. It's just what I think. So yeah. This episode. I'm really not sure what to make of this one. I can unequivocally say that I enjoyed watching it, but it's certainly not without its issues. The best summary of it is a paraphrase of a sentiment I've seen on a few forums: What happened is fine, but how it was shown needed work. Basically, I have no problem with the events of the episode themselves. The cutie mark switch, the alicorn thing, the fact that it's a musical, all of those things are fine

Thinking Over MLP:FIM Season 3, Episode 12

Thoughts on S3E12: Games Ponies Play Note: As always this review is based on personal preference. Tie-in After “Just for Sidekicks” aired, I'd been rather curious about how much this episode would refer back to it; it's pretty much the only case in the show where two unrelated episodes are do tightly interwoven. For the most part I think they handled it rather well. The two episodes stand perfectly well on their own, but if you've seen both you get a bit of a bonus because you know what's going on behind the scenes. The other nice thing is that Twilight's line about Spike doing a fine job with the pets actually has plenty of

Thinking Over MLP:FIM Season 3, Episode 11

Thoughts on S3E11: Just for Sidekicks As always, this review is based pretty much entirely on personal interpretation. Surprise Surprise I have to say I was a bit caught off guard by this episode. I didn't really have high hopes for it, for a variety of reasons. First of all, Spike doesn't exactly have a stellar episode record; at best his previous episodes tend to be decent. Second, the summary of this episode pretty much explicitly points out that the rest of the main cast isn't going to show up, which for me at least is another problem; my main gripe with most Spike episodes is that they focus too much on the “he's a dragon!&rdq

Thinking Over MLP:FIM Season 3, Episode 10

Thoughts on S3E10: Keep Calm and Flutter On Yadda yadda yadda this is all opinion, civil disagreement is fine. Discord Returns This is far and away the most important bit of the episode, so I'm gonna tackle it first: I wasn't expecting Discord to reform, but seeing how it happens, I don't see anything wrong with the concept. None of it contradicts any previously established characterization or plot, so on that front I have no complaints about the fact that it happened. I do have a few nitpicks with how they did it, but I'll come to that later. A lot of people have complained that it was too easy, and that the whole thing fell into the "

Thinking Over MLP:FIM Season 3, Episode 9

Thoughts on S3E9: Spike At Your Service As always, this is simply my own response to the episode. You're free to disagree as long as you aren't a jerk about it. Not bad, just very subtle I gotta say that more than any episode so far this season, this one felt really old school; like it would have been right at home in season one. There's a really heavy emphasis on a character based conflict here; it's the first episode this season that takes place almost entirely in Ponyville and doesn't really focus much on any characters but the Mane 6 and Spike. It feels a lot more down to earth because the conflict arises purely out of their day-to

Literature

Thinking Over MLP:FIM Season 3, Episode 8

Thoughts on S3E8: Apple Family Reunion This review is purely my personal opinion. Spoilers will be here. Stuff that happened: I'm just going to lead off with this: Overall, I think the episode is fairly middle-of-the-road. There aren't any glaring flaws in it, but at the same time I think it lacks the ingenuity and punch to stand out, and as a result it's thoroughly decent. The reason it's so hard to place is because most of the issue in the episode is a result of the context in the show at large. On it's own, the episode is pretty good. There's nothing within the context of the episode itself that really damages it too badly. The pr

Thinking Over MLP:FIM Season 3, Episode 7

Thoughts on S3E7: Wonderbolts Academy As always, the review is largely based on my personal response to the episode. It's all opinion and such. Lightning Dust Okay, I'm just going to get this out of the way now, because she's the single biggest addition to the episode. I'm not gonna lie, I think that Lightning Dust was probably the weakest aspect of the episode. It does NOT mean that she was handled badly, just that there were two aspects of her characterization that needed to be tweaked a bit. The first is that I think it would have helped to develop the jerkish aspects of her character a bit more. It was always blatantly obvious tha

Thoughts on S3E6: Sleepless in Ponyville Yup, time for another review. As always it's just my personal response to the episode rather than an objective statement of quality. Also spoilers. Okay, let's start with the issues. From what I've seen, the response to this episode was generally very positive. While I definitely enjoyed it, I also think it has a couple of rather annoying issues. Not so bad that they ruin the episode, but I think they're worth mentioning. First off, characterization: Don't get me wrong, the relevant bits of the episode (Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash's interactions) were great. I have no complaints about that. An

I'll get around to it eventually. I'm rather busy because THESIS.  Arg I'm pretty sure my head is going to implode before the end of this semester.

Yeah, forgot I had a blog here. Uh...okay, even though S3 is like half over, I have been doing reviews of it.  Not quite as long due to school reasons (I'm doing my thesis this semester, and I just don't have time to write a 5K word review every week), but they're there. I've also been attempting to draw, with moderate success as I have very little time to practice.  My work doesn't look too much like crap, but that's only because I've been using lots of reference drawings. So yeah.  Stuff. I've also been doing a fair bit of stuff on my Fimfiction account (http://www.fimfiction.net/user/JapaneseTeeth), so you can look at that.

That overview thing...

0 min read

Yeah, I'm actually about 90% of the way done with it.  I might release it in chunks, because it's long and kinda rambly because I'm too lazy to really edit it much.  It'll probably be up this weekend though.
