So last week I made the decision to start fresh with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic by rewatching the series by starting with the first episode and just rewatch every episode in order. I actually just rewatched Friendship is Magic parts 1 and 2 and my enthusiasm has returned a little bit but not as much as when I first watched. I decided to restart since I miss some of the earlier episodes and I was becoming less attached to the characters, and overall setting. And I feel like a lot of these episodes have some solid morals that I unfortunately missed the first time seeing them. Now morals are one of my favorite parts of this show and I appreciate most of the storytelling is good enough to deliver the message besides a few dud episodes. As for general storytelling there are other shows I watch that have more interesting storytelling to me and not just anime but even western cartoons too. So I don't watch FiM just for the general storytelling because there's a bunch of other shows I've seen with more appealing storytelling at least to me. I really watch it mainly for the songs, and morals they are delivering though I still appreciate the storytelling making the morals appealing. So I regained some of my enthusiasm but I will probably never be as enthusiastic about this show as I was last Summer. I also decided to skip all the upcoming Season 5 episodes for now so I can rewatch the older episodes and watch other shows like Regular Show, Fullmetal Alchemist, Gravity Falls, Wander over Yonder, Star vs the Forces of Evil, Doraemon and older shows I miss like Pokémon, SpongeBob, Phineas and Ferb, Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

Even though I have regained some of my enthusiasm for FiM I still have very little interest in fan content. There are a few pieces of fanart I enjoy from my favorite characters like the Cadance art from DeviantArt user dm29 which is really the only DeviantArt user I follow who makes pony art, and some Rarity fanart. But beyond fanart from my few favorite characters pretty much none of the fan content interests me, no music, no art from other characters that aren't my favorites, no animations, no fanfiction, no headcanons, no analysis, no reviews, none of it besides some Cadance and Rarity fanart interests me at all. I just prefer offical content far more. I will continue to watch FiM and even pick up some merchandise, mostly DVDs since I collect my favorite shows and movies on DVD, I may pick up books that interest me such as Journal of the Two Sisters or Daring Do Collection which I already have but books similar to those, I don't know about plushies since I already have a Cadance plush from Build a Bear my favorite character though maybe I'll get a Rarity plushie, But there's plenty of other merchandise I won't collect such as figures, trading cards, etc. So yeah while I will continue to watch FiM and collect some merchandise such as DVDs, I really don't care for most of the fan content anymore.

Also in other topics I'm not a huge gamer but I saw E3 and I saw stuff that I wanted. With Nintendo's conference I'm still planning on getting on Yokai Watch which I have been waiting to come out in America for since it's a similar game like Pokémon and it's been popular in Japan, and there was Yoshi's Wolly World, Mario & Luigi Paper Jam, Mario Maker, and Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon i'm interested in too. I may get Star Fox or Xenoblade but not sure yet. For Sony's conference the only 2 PS4 games that caught my interest which were Kingdom Hearts III and Shenmue III. For a while I wanted to get a PS4 just for Kingdom Hearts III but now I also have Shenmue III to look forward to.

I'm going on a trip to Alaska for vacation tomorrow for a week though I'm not that excited and don't have many expectations.

I'll keep making drawings for DeviantArt and make YTPs and I even have an idea for a comic I want to make for DeviantArt.

So yeah just wanted to tell you about my plans for watching MLP: FiM in the future along with other shows I watch too. And by the way that new movie comes out in 2017 and I will definitely see it, maybe not right away but I'll see it eventually. Though I'm pretty much done with most fan content and the fandom since there are other things I enjoy doing more. So from now on I'm just simply a fan of the show but not really the fandom.

You can comment if you have anything to say.
