Never doubt pony.

I swear, pretty much every time I doubt an episode I end up loving it, well at least that held true for Magic Duel. But this is Magiccal Mystery Cure, the season finale, and because they revealed what was going to happen already I thought there was no way it could go out with a bang.

Boy was I wrong.

Magical Mystery Cure was, for the most part, a musical. From a season that has been experimenting a bit with the episode formulas we're used to(no friendship letter in most episodes, parallel episodes), this wasn't all too surprising. The music was all so very amazing though, the sweeping feel of it all really kept my attention and made sure the episode didn't get boring. The plot here, which involved Twilight accidentally casting a spell that changed her friends' destinies and cutie marks around with each other, was fairly predictable fare, but the musical elements and the strong as ever performances of the animators and voice actors alike kept things FiM quality and more. It still warms my heart to see how much theses characters mean to each other, because that's what it's all about here, the friendships the characters share, and it never gets sappy or cheesy here, as should be expected! And without those friendships the episode's key plot point couldn't have happened, where everypony's beloved Twilight becomes an alicorn! It was done so joyously and wonderfully that I really have no complaints, and I like her this way!

All in all, Magical Mystery Cure was an excellent episode, you don't wanna miss it, and I can't wait to see what's next for the series. Two Twilicorn wings up.
