ManaMinori 4,149 August 8, 2016 Share August 8, 2016 2020 Olympics will be held in Tokyo. Being a fan of Japanese culture, I'm a bit happy. But if pony is still going strong. Can you guys see any potential in the two colliding, whether given an episode or with the ponies (in Japan, at least) being given gear with Olympic themes on them, merchandise-wise? I've been dying for the show to have more Japanese region exploration (Neighppon, Japonies, Tokyoat,) What do you guys want to see made possible with MLP and Tokyo's 2020 Olympics? 1 Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Frost Wolf 42,202 August 8, 2016 Share August 8, 2016 I would absolutely love to see some Pony Samurai. That is what I would want in simplest terms but there are loads of references they could make. The possibilities are endless. Samurai is what I would want to see the most though. And perhaps seeing Pinkie speak Japanese, she would be the one that would. XD 1 Redeem me into childhood. Show me myself without a shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospekt 11,036 August 8, 2016 Share August 8, 2016 The 2020 Equestria Games need to be in Japony/Neighppon/Tokyoat. There is so much they could do with merchandise, like dressing the Mane 6 in athletic and Samurai gear. That would be pretty awesome. 2 Signature by Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Pinkie would rattle off Japanese. (Oh please Hasbro, put her in a Puffy Ami Yumi mock PV, like in Testing, Testing 123), visual kei nods, more anime references (I can just see Otakushy being more interested in that than having anything to do with the Olympic events) 1 Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD After seeing those chibi pony things that she has, it is entirely possible. Any chance for Fluttershy to geek out about something is welcome in my book. 1 Redeem me into childhood.

I don't think they've ever been used in the show... Let's just hope it's not another Spike episode though Uh-oh... We have a Spike hater in the room (no offence) It'd be really cool to see the Mane 6 get involved in Japanese culture, I for one would like to see anime style stuff and Japanese weapons.

It wasn't a bad episode (I consider Spike at your Service the only bad one), it's just we'd rather see the actual games and use Spike's conflict where it doesn't overshadow a bigger situation 1 Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmegaBeamOfficial 623 August 8, 2016 Share August 8, 2016 From the first post. They are just potential names that follow the pony pun theme. Sounds great. I guess we can dream... Nah, not that, is just that from all the building to the Equestria Games we had since season 3, we only had an average Spike episode. It wasn't a bad episode (I consider Spike at your Service the only bad one), it's just we'd rather see the actual games and use Spike's conflict where it doesn't overshadow a bigger situation I see your point. I'm one of the few people who didn't mind Spike at your service. Doesn't mean I liked it, just means I don't despise it. The only real flaw I found with it is Spike suddenly becoming Applejack's life servant despite his sibling-like (in my opinion) connection to Twilight. For the Equestria Games, now that I think about it, I think they should have done something like what they did in Season 3, where Spike's side of the story was revealed in one episode where he takes care of the pets, while a later episode showed what the Mane 6 were doing in that time. 2 Please check out this awesome looking My Little Pony fan game being developed by Rikifive.

Gestum 2,493 August 8, 2016 Share August 8, 2016 This is extremely high up on the list of things with no potential. Considering that MLP isn't big in japan and all that. Plus I don't think that the target audience gives two shits about the Olympics. Also Japan is great and all that, but maybe it shouldn't be included a little kids show about magical talking horses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously hope you are, because helooooo, OLYMPICS!!! KInd of a big deal... Second, MLP is popular enough in Japan to where there are no cafes, bro- like Hello Kitty and Pokemon café's. I doubt unpopular things get their own café's. And ok, Japan shouldn't be ireferenced in mlp- but Fluttershy's anime character references, and Tirek's DBZ fights can? Because, those weren't inspired by Japan? What about the Saddle Arabia delegates? It's a magical pony show, but look! Saudi Arabia characters! 1 Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeekySonic 1,151 August 8, 2016 Share August 8, 2016 It sounds cool, certainly. But I don't think FiM will still be running by 2020. However, I can see a special promotional release of some sort coming out. The pessimistic side of me doubts that it will happen. Oh well, I can still dream. Check out my voice-acting demo reels on Casting Call Club, if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gestum 2,493 August 8, 2016 Share August 8, 2016 You're right? I would say that I'm right about this. seriously hope you are, because helooooo, OLYMPICS!!! KInd of a big deal... Yeah, for adults. However MLP's target audience are children and most of them don't care for a second about the Olympics. At least those I've met. MLP is popular enough in Japan to where there are no cafes, bro- like Hello Kitty and Pokemon café's It's also popular end after two seasons. Surely if it is popular then it would have gotten more than two seasons? Also the cafe was only opened a short time, proving just how popular the show is over there. And ok, Japan shouldn't be ireferenced in mlp- but Fluttershy's anime character references, and Tirek's DBZ fights can? Well, I wouldn't say that it can't be referenced in MLP, However it shouldn't be anything more than a reference. What about the Saddle Arabia delegates? Not a fan of that. I really think that it would have been better if they just made up a completely new country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath 2,488 August 8, 2016 Share August 8, 2016 (edited) I seriously hope you are, because helooooo, OLYMPICS!!! KInd of a big deal... I hardly think that the target audience (you know, 8 year old girls) agree with you. Second, MLP is popular enough in Japan to where there are no cafes, bro- like Hello Kitty and Pokemon café's. I doubt unpopular things get their own café's. They only showed the first two seasons of the show in Japan. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they usually air all of the seasons of a show if said show is popular? Edited August 8, 2016 by Yamet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megas 28,138 August 9, 2016 Share August 9, 2016 I wouldn't be opposed to a Japanese inspired episode, but do we need another Olympics episode? Wasn't Equestria Games enough? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarston1 5,964 August 9, 2016 Share August 9, 2016 I am pretty sure that FIM will be over by 2020, so I don't really think that this will be applicable to the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
