Watch Order

[Adariousmist 124]

Is there a definitive watch order out there?  I found one with heavy looking that stopped with the movie after s7.  That clearly misses everything past that, including all the specials/EQG content etc.  Currently on the EQG specials recommended between s6 and before s7.  The one I was going by:

'Season one, two, three, Equestria Girls, Season four, EQG: Rainbow Rocks, Season five, EQG: Friendship Games, Season six, EQG: Legend of Everfree & EQG Specials: (Dance Magic, Movie Magic, Mirror Magic), Season seven, MLP The Movie '

I don't watch EqG so I don't know if I'm the right person to ask. The Movie is definitely just after Season Seven and Best Gift Ever and Rainbow Roadtrip are I think post-Season Eight.

Yeah that list definitely makes sense for first 7 seasons. As for the Equestria Girls specials during seasons 8 and 9, I don't think it really matters when you watch them since there's nothing that directly ties into those seasons of Friendship is Magic. You could watch them all at once, or you could watch the 2018 ones during Season 8 and the 2019 ones during Season 9 if you wish to spread them out. When I caught up on the show last year I just watched the Equestria Girls stuff all at once separate from the main show. I'd say that probably is the ideal way to watch them since it will give a more focused viewing experience, and because the first Equestria Girls movie is the only one where I think the placement in the show directly effects it (with Twilight having just become a princess)

Thing is, I don't even have a list of all of what exists beyond the series past 7 and the movie.  The only EQG that I'm aware of are Forgotten Friendship and Rollercoaster of Friendship.  I've a feeling there's more than that, and probably other specials/official youtube deployed content etc.  I'd prefer not to miss anything.

There were 5 Equestria Girls specials during seasons 8 and 9, each about 45 minutes. Forgotten Friendship and Rollarcoaster of Friendship (during season 8) are on Netflix as well as the MLP youtube. The following three (Spring Breakdown, Sunset's Backstage Pass, Holidays Unwrapped) are all available on the official MLP youtube channel. As I said, it doesnt really matter when you watch these because they dont spoil or tie into any part of Seasons 8-9. There were also a series of YouTube shorts called Better Together. 

As for Best Gift Ever and Rainbow Road trip, I'd watch them between seasons 8 and 9.
