Well, honestly it's on the least hate of the hate meter, but still there are a few problems that make me dislike it.
Also, I'm terrible at reviewing, so this isn't exactly a perfect review.
1) The "mane" problem. I know it's a musical, but what's with the pacing?! One minute Twilight is singing about depression, the next she gets sparkle eyes and knows what to do. But when she does know what to do she takes a long time to execute the plan.
2) The songs were not that good in my opinion, but this is a small nitpick. (Well maybe not considering this is a musical episode) The only good songs in my opinion were What my Cutie Mark is Telling me and Oh why
3) I REALLY REALLY wish this episode explained cutie marks and Twilight's death explosion recarnation alicorn thing. It all together, seems very vague. It's normally a good thing, but I wish they explained things a little clearer.
4) Celestia, you troll. :okiedokielokie:
So all and all, this isn't an episode I hate, but I don't think it deserves to be "The Best Episode Ever". I don't really want to argue about it, I'm not good at reviewing stuff.
