Spoilers of course. My initial thoughts / review. Screenshots and other fun stuff.
Just as I had hoped, the box/keys seem to be the theme for the whole season. Also, why is Spike feather dusting with the room in this condition? Gotta clean up them books first, Spike.
Not the last time I thought "Poor Spike" this episode. I really have enjoyed Spike more this season so far as compared to previously in the show.
Ahhh! Right after I mention I'm interested in this place,
I'm laughing at all the people that said season 3 sucked and left, because season 4 is shaping up to the be the best season. We've got to-notch animation all the way through, good writing, good humor, and what appears to be an actual story arc instead of scattered one-shot episodes.
Honestly, it's been a while since I enjoyed an episode quite as much as I've enjoyed the start of Season 4.
I wrote this back when it was leaked, and my impressions remain the same. Check 'em out below.

What I liked:
Fantastic animation. The lighting and shadowing were great, giving the characters depth and atmosphere mood.
Excellent AppleDash chemistry. Not shipping, but their friendship and friendly rivalry played off each other. Chemistry at its finest.
AJ, your story's actually SCARY. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Good use of continuity. No true results, but at least the box wasn't lef
Part 1:
Our main character, Twilight, and her faithful companion/assistant/surrogate brother Spike is set out on a quest to make friends against her will, instead of averting a disaster... or so she thinks. Hilarity ensues as she tries to avert the disaster instead. Also, this gives us our first look at the other main characters as she gets to interact with each of them.
The execution of this plot is pretty solid all around, the scenarios flow well into eachother and everything makes sen
I have long wanted to do reviews of MLP:FiM. However, then it hit me that I could make a comparison and review blog shared with another series that got a fanbase much different from what was expected- certainly not as MLP, but still, W.I.T.C.H. has a sizable adult male fanbase. Also because I feel the W.I.T.C.H. cartoon gets a bit more flack than it deserves.
This blog will primarily deal with the cartoons, and once I've worked through them, I'll go for the comics.

Once Upon a My Little Pony Time (G3.5 Webcast, 2009, 2x 10 minutes)
Here we go with another odd G3.5 experiment. We're dealing Flash animations produced by a different animation studio: Kunoichi.
Over Two Rainbows
Summary: Sweetie Belle arrives in Ponyville for the first time.
Early flash animation style, kinda odd but fascinating.
Flashback... Oh god. Newborn ponies.
Ahhhh! Hasbro actually *paid* for this? They didn't even bother animating the mouths.
This has t
Is...is the title a pun on a pun?

Do you think this is a bucking game?
What a terrible night to have a curse.
"Castle Mane-ia" By Josh Haber
Not a lot to say about this one, but it was actually pretty good. Great, maybe even. Takes what was sort of a weak premise for an episode and turns it into an entertaining romp with a decent amount of laughs. What's surprising about the humor is that a lot of it comes from timing, some well-placed silly sounds (Donald Duck is
Well, the title voids the need for an introduction so I'll get right to it. I feel like this needs to be considered. Call me whatever. Open discussion is encouraged. Post can be found here.
--------------------------------------
I don't know how many of you remember/know me. I took a break from coming here around September on account of many people I knew leaving, me being burnt out on MLP in general, and the quality of the community decreasing, at least in my opinion. And no offense, but it seems like the forums have continued to go downhill since.
In my last blog entry, I said I'd be leaving for an indefinite amount of time.
Well, I've decided to come back. However, I'm not gonna be on 24/7 like I used to be.
Before going into this, I will state right off the bat that I know that some people won't agree with me. I'm just going by what I think. Platformers are my favorite video game genre, and I just feel they should be focused on a lot more during this next generation of consoles.
Now, I'm gonna be really frank; I don't the like the truckload of FPS's and shooting games of the such that we get nowadays. I understand that they're the big money-makers these days, but I honestly think that there is an
Please ignore the Dreamworks Face.
GO.
NOW.
GET IN YOUR AUTOMOBILE, GO TO THE MULTIPLEX, ACQUIRE AN ENTRY VOUCHER, SIT YOUR BUTT DOWN, AND ENJOY THE BEST DAMN MOVIE DISNEY HAS MADE IN LIKE FOREVER.
Bolt was pretty decent, Princess and the Frog was flawed but also pretty good, Tangled was really good, Wreck-it-Ralph was great, and this...
It's...
It's...
Yes. Magic.
For anybody who's been hoping that Disney would truly go back to the glory days of the Renais

So I just bought Pokemon Y and am about to power up my brand-new 3DS.
This made me think of the last time I played a Pokemon game: I had the strategy guide, I looked up all the info for every route and city and opponent. The game became a grinding fest until I could get to post-game content.
Not this time.
I'm gonna go in totally blind, aside from the occasional snapshot I've seen online. I know next to nothing about the starters, the legendaries are truly a mystery, and I've heard r
Hello, friends, today I'm doing something I feel would be quite useful from my perspective.
As some of you know, my interview series has become part of the Poniverse Monthly News Letter. Well, I've decided to let you guys answer this poll to ultimately decide if there will be changes to how this series is conducted.
Like I said, this is not something that is mandatory on my part but I am legitimately interested in what you feel would be the best way to handle things. Please, answer the s
After now rewatching the new episodes for the umpteenth time, I happen to notice that Twilights new wings were larger then Rainbow Dash's wings
I would surmise that by examining the other Alicorns, that the wings would have to be larger then a normal Pegasus and again I go back to the argument of bone structure.
A normal Pegasus like Rainbow Dash, would have to extreamly light weight in order to archive flight and thus would need hollow bones to reduce weight without the comprise of str
