I know that's not the promised number, but if it is, why? Why not 26? could this be a sign of the writers running out of ideas? Or is it just the minimum number? Im really really confused! :blink:

I think it's possible they stopped at 13 due to different probable causes. The one that most come up with is this is the end of the series.

 

I highly doubt that though.

 

Hasbro is making a killing off of the franchise, why destroy the cow when it can still be milked for years to come? So no, not a proper reason there.

 

Another more likely reasoning is that was all that is needed. They may have cut it short though for some more reasons there such as

  • They may be working on a movie and may have needed the other writers and animators to fill in, so they cut the season short.

  • The season may be in actuality the same length but longer shows, so instead of 20-25 minutes they are now 40-50 minutes long.

  • They decided to over produce the third season but used too much funding for it, so season three might be wicked in comparison to the others, but shorter for that reason.

  • Reason three, but they wanted season four to have more shows and went to get a head start on it.

  • They have other shows coming out such as the Transformers show and needed more people to fill in here, though I find it unlikely for this show in particular.
There can be many other reasons, whether or not they make sense, but I doubt it's for anything that would overall damage the franchise, Hasbro's not that stupid. Edited by Hazardus_Havard

I have also heard this i think it is either not true or if it is then the episodes will be longer or they are making the gap between series's smaller (every 6 months rather than a year gap) but i have heard a bunch of rumours so we will just have to wait untill season 3 is out

Well i dont think its that there running out of ideas i think its more of time it takes a long time to make just one episode and to make 26 will take forever even though i hope season 4 will be longer i hope so :D

It's no rumor, they've said there will be 13 episodes, nothin' more besides that, since they haven't said anything besides that, there's a chance Seson 4 might be only a couple months after the end of the third, just keep yer hopes up.

My friend made a good point that some companies like to release half of one season, and release the other half after one half is almost done. This might be the case for it, but I agree with a lot of the preditcions Hazardus made. :)

I guess the only way to find out is to wait for season 3 to release! It would be cool if the spent loads of money on rights so we would see a bunch of awesome references! It would be AWESOME if there using time and money on a movie! all will be revealed soon! :D

I think that season three will only have 13 episodes because they are having the thirteenth episode be a cliffhanger episode into season four. And for those of you who think season three is the end, http://willheim.deviantart.com/journal/don-t-worry-317411927

well then that means it prob is a cliff hanger but they will speed up the time between seasons, which is good news i guess, before season 3 comes out i'm gunna watch season 1&2 again (even though i am just finishing off season 2 episode 17 tonight!)

I think it has something to do with splitting up the seasons. IDK if this was true, but I heard somewhere that they will release the second 13 episodes soon after the first 13.

I agree with this. This seems like an awesome thing to do, that I know no childrens show has ever tried. A continued story throughout 2 seasons...

I think they are using Season 3 as a safety net to tell if the series is getting stale or not.

 

 

If its successful as the other seasons they will continue making more episodes and stuff.

 

I don't think they need a safety net at all. 1. They had derpy (a name given by the fans) 2. Have you heard "Equestria Girls" yet? They mention bronies early in the song. 3. just look around the Internet! Everything's ponified, we have a buttload of fanfics, and hundreds of music and art pieces! Based on this, I think this show will last a long, long time. {and thank you for allowing me to quote you! Before this, I was clueless how to change the color of my posts! Now I know how and shall abuse my knowledge proudly! :) }

Yeah i'd like to think that they are extending each episode to be twice as long. Which seems to be happening across a lot of growing series'. I guess we'll have to wait and see though.

No, they are not. Top Draw Animation has already confirmed on their website that each episode is still only 22 minutes long, unfortunetly.

 

Well, there's one thing out of the way. So they're either going to split the season into six month increments to get more for their buck on the Hub channel, or they put an enormous amount of work into each 22 minute episode. Or other reasons as stated before. Edited by Hazardus_Havard

Like other people said, they might release more episodes for Season 3 after the first 13. Seems like a lot of shows are doing that now. Burn Notice for example, released half a season, treating it like the end of the entire show. Then at the season 6 finale, boom cliffhanger, and they release the other half of the season.

it might be like the walking dead where they had a split between season 2, either way season 3 is going to be awesome and i cant wait until it comes out.

 

if it is just 13 episodes in season 3 that means there will be just under 24 hours worth of episodes, i am not satisfied, not one bit.

NO! Not that word! A cartoon that's considered to be the best Sonic cartoon of all time ended on a cliffhanger.

 

In all seriousness, it could be that they're just taking their time with the episodes. Maybe they're planning something special. But I also see your point. Alot of shows do that now.

Yu can think many things of this... Season will end early cause sum1 has an illness but still wants to make a season instead of being the person that every person's gutta wait on :0

Just a temporary break for like 9 months xD

Show will B cancelled (nut likely)

Arguing around le workfloor and sum1 left but is still under contract.

Sum other legal problems.

Gut more but at school now and thinking bout projects but these R a couple of possibilities

Why the short season? It's incredibly odd for a show to get a short season order during a growth period. It's typically associated with shows on the down spiral. It's not as if there aren't plenty of ground to cover and explore. It hasn't come close to running it's course. So what gives? :huh:
