  1. Hey bronies! Ever felt like you're not allowed to like a character from the show, or that too many people all ready like a certain character and there's no room for you?

     

    I'm an adult, but when I was a kid, I use to feel that way about other things...

     

    I like the Ninja Turtles, but when all the kids were playing pretend or dividing up the figures, everyone else always got Leo or Raph. I hardly ever got to be Leo, so I thought Donny was the only turtle I was allowed to like. But deep down inside, I was always a Leo fan.

    The same thing happened when Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was on TV. I use to be a fan when I was a kid, but every kid would always hog the Red Ranger, Green Ranger, or the White Ranger. For a while, I thought the Blue Ranger was the only one for me, but that changed pretty quick. But that's another story.

     

    Point is, I hope no one ever feels so intimidated by peers or other fans that they feel like they're not allowed to like a certain character. I hope no one is settling for a background, one time, or less popular character just because there's all ready a lot of fans for Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Celestia, Derpy, or whoever. I especially wouldn't want kids to feel that.

     

    Anyone else ever feel that way at one point?

  2. Wow! A topic filled with fans of both properties! HEY EVERYONE! I'm a long time Sonic fan AND a brony! How y'all doin'? :D

     

    ...Wait, there are Sonic fans who are ANTI-brony? Do I even want to know where you find them? Because I haven't seen any, and I go to a Sonic message board. I think most Sonic fans probably just don't care or don't have any feelings. Trust me, Sonic fans have combined Sonic with LOTS of other unrelated things they like.

  3. *Shrug* He doesn't have much of a lifestyle. I want to keep it open so that maybe he can appear in roleplays or in fan comics with other fan characters.

     

    Samurai Equine resides in Japon and he's very friendly and kindhearted. He loves engaging in the Japonies holidays and traditions, and he's always there to protect his fellow residents of Japon. If the regional lord (kind of like a mayor, not sure if it should be a Shogun or a Daimyo) gives him orders, he will follow them. However, if Celestia gives him any orders, then her wishes will overrule any other orders he was given. He has protected his fellow ponies against Diamond Dogs, Timber Wolves, and more. Including Snow Leopards, the hardest challenge he has ever faced! But he does it because he believes that everyone deserves the right to live and smile. That's his sense of justice, and he'll defend it til the very end. He's also a very brave kind of guy. He will gladly shout out the names of his attacks before he preforms them.

     

    Other then that, not much to say really. :) I guess he's pretty handsome. He probably starts the day by doing some soul cleansing exercises. Calligraphy practice, tending to his zen garden, drinking tea with his breakfast, practicing haikus, that kind of stuff.

  4. I remember the season finale in question...

     

    Execution would be too much, but if I was Discord, I am not so sure I could face myself with the shame on my shoulders. I'd offer to surrender my chaotic powers to Twilight or Celestia, and then I'd exile myself to the life of a wondering drifter until I could better appreciate life as a mortal, but I'd promise to return when I am a better draconequus worthy of holding those powers and worthy of being friends to such wonderful ponies... But that's just me.  :P  Would have also been a good reason for seeing less of Discord in the future season(s) condsidering De Lancie's schedule.

  5. I really think it needs to be Trixie. With her returning for another episode AND getting an appearance in EQG, she kind of deserves it. She's not some super evil being like Tirek or Queen Chrysalis. If Sunset Shimmer can be redeemed, why not Trixie? After all, this is the show called FRIENDSHIP is Magic, right? Where's the Friendship that saves lost souls?

     

    Gilda could be a close second, but they at least need to bring her back or give her a cameo. Build up to it first. :please:

  6. They're great fun aren't that! Which ask blogs do you follow :3 ?

     

    A random few here and there. Fluffle Puff, Moonstuck (does that count?), Jappleack, Lovestruck Derpy, and some others. Can't remember them all... I'm not even following them officially, I just have their Tumblr pages bookmarked. Some stop making updates completely, others I might loose interest in for a while. So far, Fluffle Puff is the only one that constantly keeps my attention.

     

    I'll be sure to follow yours. :)

  7. I honestly cannot remember which subjects were my favorite back then. I think I enjoyed the teachers more than the subjects, especially if they were the cool teachers everyone loved.

     

    But if I had to pick something, I've grown fond of history over the years. I'm a college grad, but there will always be something interesting about history. We all become historians, in a way. When you live long enough, not only do you become nostalgic for old times, you begin to realize just how much things have changed over time. I don't think anyone wants to become the grandma or grandpa that starts off telling those "Back in my day..." stories, but I don't think anyone does it to annoy. We're just taking a walk down memory lane, because time can go by so much faster than we give it credit for. In a way, I think I can sympathize with real historians and history majors. When you realize what can happen in just a few years, it makes the past that we learn about in school feel like it wasn't so long ago after all.

  8. Hi there! Welcome to the forum! B) If you want a suggestion, feel free to check out the anime Buso Renkin. The titles a little obscure, but the story is solid and totally awesome.

  9. I like the Japanese dub. :)

     

    And here I thought the Nippon love fest was over.

     

    I've always seen the "Nippon love fest" as you call it more of a generational thing. I remember back in the original days of Toonami on American Cartoon Network. A lot of people grew up watching anime, which was was pretty huge at the time. Lots of it on TV, which is rare by today's standard. In fact, there was a huge movement where people were demanding more uncut anime titles, no more westernizing or dumbing things down.
    In fact, back then, high speed internet wasn't around like it is now. People couldn't just stream entire episodes of an anime or anything. Unless you knew how to get your hands on a bootleg copy of an anime or something similar, your only portal to stuff like that was through the TV. Even today, there is something about putting anime on TV that makes it more well known than straight-to-video releases.

     

    And there might be another generation of Japan love happening again. Toonami is back, although on Adult Swim these days, with lots of new anime titles.

     

    I'm wondering if they gave AJ, Big Mac & AppleBloom Osakan accents, since that is depicted as the Japanese equivalent to the American south in most dubbed anime.  

     

    Ah, you mean the Kansai dialect. Yes, everyone agrees, even the Japanese bronies themselves. The Apples should've had that dialect, but they weren't given any special dialect. They just speak normally, save for the occasional "Yeehaw!" and what have you.

  10. Oh Shainresa11, there you go again making topics asking about our OCs, and I just love you for it! It makes us feel like someone cares, even if we didn't put that much effort into our OC's, it's great knowing someone cares!  :lol:

     

    My FC defends/fights using mostly magic and some "hoof-to-hoof" skills. He has a fire spell (it just stuns/gives a light burn, nothing lethal), a horn extending spell, a limited amount of teleportation magic, and some basic levitation. Anything else, he usually compensates for by wearing armor and horseshoes, but it also helps that he's really handsome. :smug:
