It's a disappointing thing to say, but Season Six of My Little Pony is coming to a close in a few weeks. There is however a lot to look forward to next year. Not only is Season Seven confirmed, but we'll also be seeing three Equestria Girls specials and of course the theatrical film. Back... Continue Reading →
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic “P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)” Review
My Little Pony returns with an episode featuring a well known gimmick. This season in particular has been trying a couple of new formats. The early/mid Season 6 episode "The Saddle Row" is the biggest example. In today's episode, the "Rashomond Effect" is used. "P.P.O.V." is one of the funniest episodes of the season. That's really the... Continue Reading →
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic “Every Little Thing She Does” Review
My Little Pony returns with an episode bringing back the season's semi-main focus: Twilight training Starlight Glimmer in the ways of friendship. This character arc has been pretty good, even though redeeming Starlight in the first place was a questionable decision. "Every Little Thing She Does" isn't a fantastic episode nor a particularly mediocre one... Continue Reading →
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic “Viva Las Pegasus” Review
This episode of My Little Pony brings back the Cutie Map. The plot of Season 5 centered around it, and it's still a clever way to establish a story. Perhaps the most interesting thing is that it chooses two ponies not randomly, but for a reason. "Viva Las Pegasus" stars the unique team-up of Fluttershy... Continue Reading →
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic “The Fault in Our Cutie Marks” Review
Another week brings in another My Little Pony episode. Like "28 Pranks Later," this one's title is a reference to another piece of media. This time The Fault in Our Stars is parodied, though the actual plot of the episode has nothing to do with it. The Cutie Mark Crusaders haven't had much luck in terms of... Continue Reading →
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic “Buckball Season” Review
It's always interesting when a new writer tackles the characters. Jennifer Skelly makes her debut with today's episode, "Buckball Season." This one continues the slice of life-centric storytelling Season 6 has been doing. Sadly, as stated in previous reviews, the writing has been more on the average side. The previous two had finally broken that slump.... Continue Reading →
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Dungeons & Discords Review
Another Saturday equals another installment in the ongoing My Little Pony saga. Despite Season 6 being more on the mediocre side when compared to the previous five, every episode always bring some kind of entertainment. Still, for awhile I was concerned because quite a few episodes this season were either just okay or average. This... Continue Reading →
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic “The Times They Are A Changeling” Review
"The Times They Are A Changeling" (try saying that in one gulp) is finally an "important" episode. Now, this is not to say that every episode of My Little Pony has to be "important" in the sense that it furthers certain plot developments or establishes a new status quo. Slice of life stories is the... Continue Reading →
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic “The Cart Before the Ponies” Review
It's a nice thing to have My Little Pony back on the air. It's perhaps one of the best ways to start the weekend. Last week's episode put the spotlight on Rainbow Dash and brought back the Indiana Jones-inspired pony, Daring Do. It was also slightly meta, introducing a brand new character that represented a... Continue Reading →
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic “Flutter Bruther” Review
"Flutter Brutter" might be the most anticipated episode of the season. Unlike a lot of other episodes, this one was announced way in advance. (It was first announced that we would see Fluttershy's brother at last years's MLP panel at Comic Con.) Why does this deserve hype? Interestingly, despite having six seasons, we know very...
