At this point, it's beginning to look like this is the case. The series (or rather what was left of it) is no longer available on Netflix, Tubi is missing some episodes from what I've heard, and Shout Factory has neglected to properly release the series on physical media (only seasons 1-7 have been released on DVD officially, and the series has not yet been released on the Blu-ray format). Yeah, it's on YouTube (legal or otherwise), but that site is so terrible nowadays (for reasons I won't bring up here), that I'd rather sail the seas than resort to viewing it on that corrupt platform. Compared to other streaming services, the AV quality is heavily compressed on YouTube to the point where even the DVDs look much better, despite only being in 480p. The question is for how long? I've heard horror stories of people losing access to digital media and iTunes movie/TV show purchases are not immune to this issue from what I've heard. There was a news report that Discovery would be revoking access to digital purchases of their TV shows from people who bought them on the PlayStation store, so who's to say that Hasbro will eventually decide to revoke access to digital copies of their shows? It would be much safer if the series was available on physical media, preferably on the Blu-ray disc format, so that it could be enjoyed by generations to come, in the best possible AV quality that streaming still can't match.

My laptop. It's one of those Dell Inspiron laptops with a removable lid on the back of the screen, I've actually been meaning to buy a spare lid to customize with MLP artwork, but never got around to it. Now that it's pretty old and I rarely use it nowadays, I'm not sure if it would still be worth doing. Aside from that, I can't think of anything else to ponify.

If "The Last Day of School" short was the first Equestria Girls cartoon I saw, I would've believed the possibility of it taking place during the 80s (as Rainbow Dash watched a VHS tape of a Daring Do movie in that short), at least until I saw more of the cartoons and noticed the use of more current technologies than what they had in that decade. "Friendship Through the Ages" is another short that would've given a first time viewer the impression of the series being set in the 80s, judging by the choice of costumes portrayed in that one.

Not yet, as I was getting tired of the series after season 6 ended and haven't bothered to catch up until recently. So far, there are some episodes I haven't seen yet from seasons 7 and 9.

There are a few things that I did not like about this special: If this is supposed to take place after the previous specials (as implied by the "Blizzard or Bust" segment) and the girls have been in school for at least a few years (assumed by the first Equestria Girls movie), then shouldn't the Humane 7 have already graduated high school at this point? Speaking of the amount of time that has supposedly passed, how come the Cutie Mark Crusaders haven't aged at all? If they were Freshmen in the first movie and this is supposed to take place at least two years afterwards, then shouldn't they look older? I guess the creators hadn't thought about the ages of the CMC during the making of this special. The outfits they wore (aside from the two segments where they did wear Winter clothing) were NOT appropriate for Winter weather, especially considering the fact that "Dashing Through the Mall" took place during Winter weather. Just my thoughts on things they could've addressed to make this special more enjoyable.
