Not really, but a handful of episodes after season 5 kind of make you forget that it is one at its core.

I'm just about to, actually, while I continue with my Japanese. Shouldn't take too long.

My top two are Twilight and Fluttershy since the beginning. That hasn't changed, but then Applejack later moved up some thanks in no small part to her development.

She had some potential to turn over a new leaf. That look on her face at the end of CotLM kind of showed she'd never again try to badmouth anypony in front of her own daughter, but in seasons 6-9 she stays pretty much the same.

None of the Mane 6 have ever annoyed me, not even Pinkie Pie in Filli Vanilli; I let that one slide because it was actually funny, even if it was Fluttershy on the receiving end, but that was it. After that, she started to get grating. It wasn't the character's fault, it was the newbie writers who couldn't write her competently. Funny thing is, Andrea Libman is actually better known for voicing gentler, smarter, and more easy-going characters (eg. Emmy, Lemon Meringue, Madeline, etc.) than Cloudcuckoolanders.

Even if Netflix doesn't need to advertise, I'm going to be the first to say that, trailer or not, I think I'm going to wait until the series proper wraps up its first season. This way, I can see if it will be worth watching because as it is, I don't have high hopes for G5, and neither do some of you, I can see. I got hyped for the LPS reboot when trailers started dropping, but then the series itself turned out just... marginal. That was the last time I ever went in blind on a new series, so I'm not going to do it with this one.

That about sums it up. I dunno about Minuette, though.

There's quite a few of them. Andrea Libman in Dragon Tales, which also had Chantal Strand, Kathleen Barr, Ian James Corlett, etc. It was the very first voice I've seen her do, but I didn't know at the time. Colin Murdock, Lee Tockar, and Scott McNeil in The Twisted Whiskers Show. Nicole Oliver, for those who haven't seen it, was in Inuyasha: The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass. Tabitha St. Germain as Pepper Clark and Mona Autumn in LPS. I know she's done tons of voices, but these two were outstanding. Patricia Drake (Ms. Peachbottom) as Griselle Grande in Polly Pocket. Maryke Hendrikse in Black Lagoon. What a treat, now I'll never look at Gilda the same way again. Ingrid Nilson as Raspberry Torte in Strawberry Shortcake. Dude, go for it. It's got musical numbers that'd give MLP a run for its money.

Highest: Twilight Sparkle, Cheese Sandwich, Lyra, Minuette Lowest: Fluttershy, Spoiled Rich, Svengallop, Discord, Chrysalis Now I say Svengallop because although his actions were dickish, it's likely he has standards. If he saw any of those child pageant shows, he'd puke.

Holy shit. I knew China leaked several episodes, and the Dutch did the finale, but God. All. Mighty. That was one hell of a year for everyone trying to avoid spoilers; meanwhile, all I did was sit back and watch the fireworks.

I've never thought much of Haber's involvement with the show, let alone the rest of the writers, new or veteran, because I was focused more on the content and dialogue of each episode. Maybe that's why I thought Newbie Dash was a good episode, though I still concede that it could've been better somehow. It wasn't until halfway through season 7 and the start of season 8 that I started to pick up on the shift in tone and who was writing what episodes. @MegasWhat leaks are you talking about?
