I must say, they're a lot better than those short comics in the U.S., where they used mostly stock vectors for the characters.

I was just about this post about this! I am really excited because I absolutely love manga. I am definitely going to read it. And I personally like the US comics but the manga probably will be better.

Also, they are going to show Equestria Girls on TV September 1st on the Hub.

Astinus August 18th, 2013 3:15 PM

Good to know that Equestria Girls will be shown on television. It'll give more people a chance to watch it.

The manga has a ridiculously cute art style. Can't wait to see more.

I wasn't talking about the Dark Horse comics; I was talking about those old comics that were made before the Dark Horse comics.

You mean the movie or the show?

I thought Equestria Girls was only a movie and wasn't going to turn into a full-fledged show. Checking the MLP Wiki, it says that the movie will be shown on the Hub on September 1st, and nothing at all about a show.

Welcome to the herd, kuzronk! I'll add you to the list.

Well I heard EQG was going to be made into a spin-off show back in EQD before the movie's release in theaters.

I believe the Hub will just air the movie in television for those who are unable to watch the movie in theaters. That, or for those who don't have it on Dvd and/or for those who wanted to watch it again. :3

Astinus August 21st, 2013 7:54 PM

That was my assumption about what the Hub was doing. I was just clarifying what Pinkie-Dawn was asking when he wanted to know if it was the Equestria Girls movie or show. Like him, I had heard a small rumor that there was going to be a show of Equestria Girls in addition to the movie, but haven't heard anything about that in months. I thought maybe there was more to the rumor that I had missed in the length of time where I looked up absolutely zero pony news.

Meganium August 22nd, 2013 7:59 AM

As far as I know, they're just going to show the movie and that's it. I have not heard anything about EQG to be turned into a spin-off series and they're just gonna stick production of season 4 of MLP.

Pinkie-Dawn August 23rd, 2013 5:56 PM

Has anyone seen all the rave about bat ponies? They've only made one brief appearance in the Nightmare Night episode, and almost a year later, a lot of fanart is being made about them. What do the writers think about this craze?

I think so much of MLP:FIM would get lost in written or comics form! Part of its charm is the animation and voices, not to mention the songs and music.

What is that? :3 I can probably look it up myself though, so you don't have to bother with an answer if you don't feel like it, haha.

Astinus August 28th, 2013 11:05 AM

Equestria Girls is a movie that takes place between season 3 and season 4, where the ponies are turned into humans (and Spike into a puppy!) It's not as bad as it sounds, so I would say check it out if you're interested, but only after you finish watching season 3. The movie kind of starts off with a spoiler about that season's finale.

moon August 29th, 2013 4:00 AM

Oops, too late, I just watched glimpses of it on youtube. Since when Twilight Sparkle have wings?? Nevermind, don't tell me haha. I'll just make sure to watch the series and get up to speed.

kuzronk August 30th, 2013 6:40 PM

I seen equestia girls and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
She gets wings in the last episode of season 3(I hope that wasn't too spoliery).

Pinkie-Dawn September 1st, 2013 9:47 AM

I finally got to watch EQG on the Hub today. It turned out much better than I expected it to be. Not a lot of high school-themed clichés were present in this film, and once again, Pinkie Pie is still at her best even in human form.

Rai September 6th, 2013 7:01 AM

Equestria Girls is already on DVD. I saw it at Walmart. I still need to watch it though.

So I totally went on a My Little Pony shopping spree. I got the Rainbow Dash Cherry Splash Fizzy Drink, which was really good tasting. I got three MLP notebooks, each with a different pony on it. I got MLP band aids (they finally made them!) and I also bought a really cute Fluttershy doll <3

Your Favorite Pony of the Mane 6: Twilight Sparkle

I had no idea there were so many MLP fans here. I should've visited this club ages ago, but I don't know what prevented me from doing it. xD Aaanyway... I was introduced to My Little Pony by a friend two years ago, when I was an active member of another forum. Winter Wrap-Up was my first episode, and I became a fan of the series immediately after watching it.

Twilight Sparkle has gotta be my favorite pony of the mane six, because I find her personality to be quite similar to mine. I can relate to her a lot. Fluttershy would have to be my second favorite. She's adorable, and I just love her enthusiasm. Derpy is my favorite, too, but she's just a side character.

Finally we could get a non-mobile Pony game, but the comments from that article, sweet Celestia the comments! The anti-bronies' comments are trying to change my opinion about our fandom.

Astinus September 22nd, 2013 3:15 PM

I've been seeing a lot more people who hate something be more vocal than those who are fans. Like with your link, a possibility of a MLP: FiM game has a very tiny amount of fans being happy about it, and the majority of comments are people flinging insults and wanting to cause physical harm to said fans.

I, for one, am happy to hear that there might be a possible MLP: FiM video game. It'll be a big hit due to the size of the fanbase and will instantly drive up sales of whatever system it's on. Though I am hoping it's on the 3DS, since I already have one of those.

Now, she's still my favourite because of another reason: she's funny! She's crazy, sweet and generally fun to watch on screen :)
I got into ponies December 2011 due to them simply being cute. xD Their designs are adorable so I decided to check out the show. Then I got hooked. I was "obsessed" with the show until the beginning of season 3 where I didn't end up liking the direction of where the show was going. The animation was still great and the characters were funny but I guess I was growing out of it. I still like the show but I don't consider myself a brony or a pegasister anymore. Just a regular fan :)

Pinkie-Dawn September 29th, 2013 5:59 AM

I'm glad there's going to be 20+ episodes again as oppose to 13, so hopefully there will be more Rarity-centric episodes to make up for the lack of one in season 3.

Oh my goodness, I totally agree! While I'm not the biggest fan of Rarity, I'd like to see more stuff around her. I'm also excited to see what they do with Twilight, her being an Alicorn and all ^^. There's just a lot of potential now! Perhaps there'll be a cool, adventure type episode? Like Dragonshy? I know Lauren left the show a long time ago, but I heard she wanted more adventure-esque eps.

Unfortunately, because of her leaving, the plan for the show has went "off course" to something different. Twilight becoming an alicorn wasn't what Lauren wanted since it's pretty much the same "princess" thing she tried to avoid when making this show not as girly and more for both genders. So we'll have to see how the current writers take the show. Lauren doesn't really have a say anymore, as far as I know. However, that doesn't mean the writers couldn't take any ideas from Lauren and use them in the show. It's just that they have full control on how the show ends up.

Yeah, good point. I think Equestria Girls is a good example of the show going off course... I really do hope they take some of Lauren's ideas! But in one of the animatics, they showed an episode with superhero ponies? Perhaps that's a good sign...? Maaaybeee...?

Oh ponies, everywhere I go you pop up and you never seize to disappoint do you?

Anyhow, a small introduction in how I came to watch MlP.. Around 1 and a half year ago I saw pony vids pop up on youtube.. Most from animators or SFM/Gmod users I was subbed at.

I tended to be up to date with internet trends at the time but never heard of this.. After the increased popularity and persistence of these pony vids I took an interested and started watching the show from episode 1 and onward.. I marathoned it in about 2 or 3 days.

Only a few months after I realized there was a big fandom also on which I check daily.. From various sites from Equestria Daily to Tumblr.. That's pretty much it.


As for Applejack being my favorite pony.. I freaking love all of them, but I choose Applejack because I believe she values friends and family most.. Don't get me wrong friendship is probably most valued by the others aswell.

But I think Applejack takes this a step further, I dare say she will always find time to talk with you.. Even if it was very inconvenient for herself.. She is the shoulder you can lean and the person you can depend on.

Selfishness at its best!

I can say that I've leaned and depended on people a lot myself (specially my family) and now I'm being dependable for others because then I can sort of return that which has been done for me and help others feel relieved like I did when I needed someone to depend on.

It also feels great to help others out!


..Oh boy, how long has this post become?

Whatever.. You get the picture now, cheers!

Why? Well, pretty much for the same reasons as Goatie mentioned (Way to cop-out, Connor). Also, I really like how she not only personifies her own element, but strongly exhibits the best of the other elements as well (except magic).

Anyway, I found the fandom through groups like this poping up all over the various forums I'm involved in. At first I thought it was ridiculous, but being the open minded person that I am (Wow Connor, narsisitic much?), I gave it a chance. Needless to say I very much enjoyed the show, and thus I became a brony. I also later discovered that many of my friends at school are also bronies/pegasisters, so yeah, that was pretty neat. =)
Anyway, that's my little schpeal on the matter. I'm so glad I could find a group like this on the forum! ^.^

Palamon November 7th, 2013 7:47 AM

The name for the two parter--I must ask: what do you guys think of such a title as "Princess Twilight - Part 1"? I'm not liking it. Not at any degree, and honestly, it makes me wonder how the other titles are going to shape out to be...

I still love MLP, just not these titles.

It's true! I am not also liking the title.Are they rushed? to make the title.

If you think that seems boring, I'll tell you the episode names for episodes 3 and 4.

Episode 3 is called "Castle-Mania". People on Equestria Daily were saying "that sounds like a Yu-gi-oh game!" or something of that sort.

For episode 4, the episode is called "Daring Don't". To be honest, I love the punning in this title, it's the only title I remotely like so far.

I looked in to who wrote what.

All I know far is that the two part premiere is by Meghan Mcarthy. Also, we have a long list of new writers this year, just so you know~.

For spoiling reasons, I'll put the links to the episode information for all the new episodes in a spoiler:



Astinus November 7th, 2013 7:55 PM

Yeah, the only one out of those titles that I like is "Daring Don't" because I'm a sucker for puns.

I'm kind of looking forward to the season starter, since Meghan McCarthy wrote a few episodes that I rather enjoyed. So we'll see how she does with another season opener.

Pinkie-Dawn November 11th, 2013 10:52 AM

Houndoom's video about the new season 4 promo got taken down due to an error, but I have a spare one just in case...and I just watched it myself!

It was sweet to see both Discord and Zecora, two of the best supporting characters in the series, appearing the same episodes together. I'm really going to miss the Elements of Harmony now that the Mane Six gave it up to the Tree of Harmony in order to save Equestria from the dark roots from the Everfree Forest. Speaking of those dark roots, it was really clever that it was Discord's plan all along even after his rehab with Fluttershy, which makes up for the lack of a new villain to kick in the new season. Now we have a new arc regarding keys. :D

Palamon November 23rd, 2013 2:07 PM

Copying what I said on another site, don't come and find me and go beat me up for it:

Spoiler:

Wow, this was dark and serious. MLP keeps getting more and more dark and more serious with each season, my god. MLP is not a kid's show anymore... Seriously what the heck, Hasbro? T_T OMG EPISODE ABOUT THE PAST! We finally got to see what it was like when Celestia was banished to the moon--that was amazing. I learned so much about my favorite characters. Honestly, it shocked me when Luna turned into Nightmare Moon--I also thought it was happening right then and there--it wasn't until later I realized it was the past like Twilight did. I was just as clueless as her! Good job, Meghan! Disappointments, however:

No song, no major villain, just plants. ): Sad to see that, really--a villain that wasn't even really live. It was Discord was being annoying, btw. I love him to death, but when you really think about it, he was just being a major irritation. Though at least we saw him once again rather than never seeing him again. I think Discord will play a big role in season 4.

I really thought it was the right decision giving up the Elements of Harmony. I didn't expect it, to be honest, but really, that does bring a great opening to Season 4--to no longer use the elements... that's going to be really interesting. Also, it's pretty obvious that that box with the six keys will be a major plot in Season 4. I'm sure that there will be a lot of references to it. Then again, it might end up not signifying anything like that Allicorn Amulet in Magic Duel, but we'll see. Make sure that you keep it in your mind.

Also, the animation and magic aura has really improved since Season 3--I like to see how the show is going to keep evolving from when Faust was on the Team.

I'm no longer disappointing by MLP. ^^

Anyway, episode gets a 7.5/10 from me because there was no real villain.

Astinus November 24th, 2013 6:52 PM

First, welcome, txty to the club! :D

I finally saw the season opener and
Spoiler:
I like that they set up another overarching plot for the season. It shows that the writers have ideas on how to have stories to develop the other characters, especially now that Twilight has gone through her major development. Now she can sit back and maybe learn to fly while the others learn their lessons and get some good development.

Hopefully they figure something out for Applejack.

I don't really mind that there wasn't a new villain. It worked better to bring Discord back because the writers didn't have to spend time developing some new evil creature only for them to disappear after being defeated.

Meganium November 24th, 2013 7:25 PM

Goodness gracious! This 2-parter!

Spoiler:
Season 4 opener was simply fantastic! Princess Twilight exceeded my expectations of her princess role. I feared the writers would not include any flaws on her and they did. She still has her anxiety flaw, and to be honest I can actually relate to that. It was also about time that there wasn't any villain even though there was Discord. What a friggin troll, man. I look forward to more of Twilight's role as a princess and how it unfolds this season. I'm so EXCITED!

txteclipse November 25th, 2013 12:29 AM

Thank you Asty! Okay! Obligatory season opener thoughts!

Spoiler:
...Too bad my second post in here is mostly negative. :( Don't read if you don't want some rain on your new pony season parade. I was one of the folks concerned that Twilight was going to become the center of attention after becoming an alicorn. She's been a very flat character in my opinion since the first couple of episodes into season one, and I wasn't enthusiastic about her getting even more air time. After watching the opening...I'm still worried. The entire opener revolved around her. Rarity said everyone dreamed of being an alicorn. Princess Celestia and Luna disappeared, so Twilight suddenly had command over Canterlot castle and its guards. The potion Zecora had could conveniently only be activated by an alicorn. Applejack at first demanded she get her precious princess butt back to Ponyville where it was safe, and then later AJ and the rest of the group lamented that they were helpless without her because she would know what to do. She used the Elements of Harmony on her own in the end to revive the Tree of Harmony.

She also was shown completely outdoing other ponies at their special talent. In the scene with the crocodile, she lassoed it with magic at the same time as Applejack. She created a Sonic Starboom at the end (also showing that she had learned how to fly better than RD in two episodes). Not to mention she personally overcame the Everfree Forest vines, which had taken out both Celestia and Luna.

Long story short, it made me a bit sad. Pretty much the only reason the mane six are even together now is because they're necessary for finding the keys to open the box. There's basically no other reason for them to be there: Twilight has demonstrated that she is about as capable on her own as they are together. I understand that they're all friends still, but it's just not the same. It feels like everyone's friends with Twilight now just because they need her. The show used to be about everyone having a place in the world, something to contribute, no matter their societal status. The mane six were more or less equal, each bringing their strengths and weaknesses to the table. This has been thrown under the proverbial cart, with Twilight taking the limelight and her friends fading to the status of supporting characters. Maybe they'll all pull a Luna and try to overthrow her.

ALL THAT ASIDE, the animation was stellar, Discord was a riot, and the fight between Celestia and Luna was completely awesome. I did enjoy the episodes, even if their treatment of Twilight was mostly agitating.

destinedjagold November 25th, 2013 12:37 AM

On the very first part of the episode, I kept chanting to myself that [I read too much fanfic], because I can't help but cringe of how childish the early scenes and conversations were, but, as the episode moves on, the chanting changed to [ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh...]. xD

Can't really share something that hasn't been shared by anypony else, but OMG SEASON 4 WILL BE GREAT! :D

Houndour2005 November 25th, 2013 3:56 AM

This was the best FiM Season opening until now.

Episode 7 is called "Bats!" and the other episodes have a synopsis now. Anyway--Flight to the Finish and Power Ponies seem more promising now that they have actual description--but Bats! doesn't seem like my cup of tea.

Long story-
When a past girlfriend of mine was watching MLP, I thought it was cute that she was watching something so childish and thought nothing of it. Then I was flipping channels and discovered the Hub. It was around 9:00 AM, when MLP plays where I live. I took a small look and started to get interested. It was season 1 episode 3. From there on I have loved ponies and cant get nuff of em' <3

Wow, this episode keeps getting better and better just from more and more descriptions...

Astinus November 26th, 2013 8:52 PM

Welcome to the herd, Karinmo!

I'm really excited for Flight to the Finish now! Here's hoping that there's some Dash and Scoots interactions.

Houndour2005 November 27th, 2013 1:11 AM

I'm hyped about the Flight to the Finish episode.

And Castle Mania was leaked on Itunes.

Palamon November 27th, 2013 8:16 AM

Yeah. I heard of that. So, since it leaked early, I watched it:

Spoiler:
Found the episode super ridiculous. I didn't like it all that much. I don't know how to feel about Josh Haber as a writer for My Little Pony. Though, I like how Twilight suggested they all keep a diary together--that was a great idea.

Additional Information:Long story. I had heard about the brony phenomenon before I was a fan and wanted to try the show so I tried to get in from school quickly but I could only catch the last minutes of these episodes: Fall Weather Friends and Boast Busters. That was when Boomerang aired it at 3 PM now it airs on Tinypop at 4. Yay! So since I could only catch the last few minutes, I never really got into the show. One day I was derping around on Youtube and came across this video and it convinced me to watch an episode fully. I watched the first episodes... then the next... then the next... I was in love.
I have to be grateful to MLP because it had helped me find my true best friend, as she loves the show just as much as me.

U.Flame November 29th, 2013 1:01 AM

How was everyone's Thanksgiving? Mine was pretty nice, got to spend time with much of my family so I'd like to share my experience with you guys.

Besides close relatives like my sister and mother, pretty much the entire family is very closed-minded. I'm used to this, so I rarely preach my open opinions around them. This time however, I had to due to an unexpected turn of events. One of my nicest cousins was talking crap on Bronies, she wasn't just poking fun, she was utterly disgusted by Bronies! Now, I never hid my bronyness, but the topic rarely came up so few of them knew.

I'm very used to being rejected when when I bring up ponies around other people, it doesn't bother me anymore so I'm always open about my love for the show. So naturally I defended Bronies and ranted about who we are, what kind of show MLP:FiM is, why it's good, and tried to clear misconceptions about the show. The reactions were mixed but mostly negative. The close-minded people in the family were turned off about it, the haters remained haters, and the few open ones were confused and hopefully curious about it.

I'm used to these negative reactions, so we laughed it off and moved to a different subject. I'm usually fine because I expressed myself and showed that I have nothing to hide. But as the day went by I noticed how much this incident bugged me. It shouldn't, I'm used to this and especially knew how close-minded my family is. But it was shocking that one of my most kind and gentle cousins was the biggest hater. The rejection, for the first time in a long time, hurt. It hurt badly.

♣Gawain♣ November 29th, 2013 11:15 PM

Been a very long time since I've posting here eh? All I have to say is that the 1st 2 episodes seemed, lacking compared to the first 3 season openers. I was expecting a new villain as awesome like the rest. But it really dissapoints me, nevertheless it's still MLP worthy.

My Thanksgiving was typical if you ask me :/

Palamon November 30th, 2013 7:41 AM

So, anyway--since I already watch Castle Mania, I'm just listening to the dialogue atm.

Also my Thanksgiving was great.

Pinkie-Dawn November 30th, 2013 8:19 AM

What is a pony? A miserable pile of friendships, but enough talk, how about you new episode of MLP:


Spoiler:
The moment Twilight read Celestia and Luna's journal made me suspect Luna was going to be the Shadow Pony in the end, but then came the plot twist by the best pony, Pinkie Pie. So it looks like the journal is going to be the replacement of the "letters to the Princess," and the Shadow Pony at the very end might foreshadow something that's going to happen later on in season 4.

Arrow December 1st, 2013 3:20 AM

Thanks for accepting me :)

So about Castle Mania...

Spoiler:

I knew the Pony of Shadows would be Pinkie. The part where a pair of eyes are looking through a painting... I know those eyes too well. Also Pinkie ringing her head in the school bell... I don't know why I loved it so much. :D


Also I like how the brony community are very meh about the box with 6 keyholes appearing at the end of the premier but they treat the Twilicane like it's a holy treasure.

Houndour2005 December 2nd, 2013 1:29 AM

The Castle Mania episode was allright.

Astinus December 2nd, 2013 12:38 PM

So I fnally saw Castle Mane-ia and
Spoiler:
I might be biased, but I liked it! I am a little biased towards episodes that have Applejack and Rainbow Dash interacting a lot, but I also like that Rarity and Fluttershy were paired up in the episode. It gave a chance for the friendships to be explored a little more, and we definitely got some understanding of how Fluttershy and Rarity are as friends. It was adorable and... I just like the character interactions.

Plus it was fun that Twilight was the only one not bothered by the castle because KNOWLEDGE!

And Angel. Angel Bunny makes any episode better.

Between Spike, Angel Bunny, and Applejack and Rainbow Dash hanging out together, this had the makings of being one of my favorite episodes.

Houndour2005 December 3rd, 2013 4:14 AM

Daring Don't Written by Dave Polsky is on this saturday.

When Rainbow Dash discovers that the new A.K. Yearling book she has been eagerly anticipating is delayed, she recruits her reluctant pony friends to spring into action to ensure the book gets written. However, when the ponies arrive to help the famous author, they soon discover that A.K. Yearling has a secret that sends Rainbow Dash and her pony friends on an unexpected mission[.]

I find it disappointing that the community hasn't made the horse statue from Castle-Mania into a meme yet, because just look at it, it resembles the infamous horse mask.

BromiskoTB December 7th, 2013 1:22 AM

Hi =D
My favourite Pony is Rainbowdash, because she is really awesome and funny. I love her character and her cutie mark- how can you NOT like that? Its SO AWESOME!

One day I was bored and decided to go watch Netflix on my tv. I saw MLP on there and i heard that it was a funny show and had saw all the commercials, so I decided to watch an episode! After that one episode, I was HOOKED. Everyday I would come home after school to watch 2-3 episodes and I memorized the theme song. FAST. I saw that it was a lot more than just funny ponies and stuff and really enjoyed it a ton. I just signed up for this and I am really excited that I found this right off the bat.

Brohoof!

Pinkie-Dawn December 7th, 2013 8:09 AM

Alright, a Daring Doo-related episode:


Spoiler:
Holy cow, Daring Doo's real! At first I thought this episode wasn't going to do well because I was already told that Twilight's mom was the author, according her trading card, but after that plot twist, I fear there will be a spark of outrage in the brony community regarding what's considered as canon and what isn't. Seeing Daring Doo beating up those big cats gave me a gut feeling that PETA's going to sue Hasbro for this.

Arrow December 7th, 2013 2:31 PM

Daring Don't:

Spoiler:
I was honestly pleasantly surprised. I wasn't expecting Daring Do to be real, even though from the leaked picture the author looked a lot like her. Something that really bothered me though was when Daring was fighting with those guys in her home, none of the Mane 6 bothered to help her. Also, those guys broke her leg and she put and bandage on it but it mysteriously disappeared later in the episode. I think the episode was decent. For some reason I haven't enjoyed season 4 that much. I'm not that excited for new episodes, although it might just be because I've waited for season 4 for so long.

Also, the facial expressions Rainbow Dash shows... :3

Astinus December 8th, 2013 6:59 PM

Daring Don't is a strange episode. When I found that Dave Polsky was the writer behind the episode, my feelings made sense because Polsky tends to write weird episodes that I'm never sure how to feel about them.

Spoiler:
Dash's excitement combined with Twilight's knowledge of the Daring Do books is exactly how I am with my favorite writer's books. I'm always counting down the days until the next release, and I can always ramble on completely about any small detail. So Dash and Twi's conversation in the forest about why they should help Daring was amusing.

But it was just weird to find out that Daring's actually real. I honestly thought that A.K. Yearling staged the adventure to write about them as realistically as she could. Like she has a group of friends to set up plays that she directs, and she acts them out in the way that Daring would go through her adventures. So there's a lot of questions that I have about how things work now that Daring is real. How come no one knew this before? How come Celestia never sent help? If Daring's adventures are real, how can she have deadlines from her publishers to finish her books in a set amount of time? What happens if her adventure runs for a longer time than she expects? How much of a rock does she have to be living under to not recognize Twilight as a new princess? Why didn't she look at the six ponies with her, see that one of them was an alicorn, and use them?

I felt that Daring worked better when it was believed that she was simply Dash imagining herself as Daring.

Also, I thought that maybe there should have been some acknowledgement that Dash was being really pushy towards Daring. Following her around even though Daring said that she didn't need/want help came off as rather possessive to me.

But I did like the lesson of the episode. It was one that I could relate to.

This episode was enjoyable for the adventure aspect, and I'm sure to watch it again for that. But I will forever be trying to figure out the logic of this episode.

Palamon December 10th, 2013 5:41 AM

To be honest, I want to say something: Daring Don't is already my least favorite episode in the season. To begin with, it's just for hard knocks, imo, but I guess it's my dislike for Rainbow Dash that I don't like it.

Anyway. FULL SYNPOSIS RELEASED FOR POWER PONIES: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/12/power-ponies-full-synopsis-revealed.html Also, there's a new project out called Anime Sparkle. Seems cool! Take a look: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/12/animation-my-little-anime-teaser.html

Any other news I find I will post later. Discuss~.

Also Omg Power Ponies keeps getting more interesting every time more news comes up for it.

Meganium December 10th, 2013 8:56 AM

Spoiler:
hnnnggg, idk about you guys but I loved this episode. Best episode so far in season 4. Like Asty, I usually tend to fangirl about new book releases and tend to act the same way with video games and TV shows. I mean, Rainbow Dash is me in that episode.

I was incredibly surprised that they made Daring Do a real pony in Equestria. I honestly thought they would keep it fictional in the show but everything just...changed! I also loved the lesson in this episode. It warmed my heart :33, and I'm so happy Daring Do allowed Dash to help her with her adventure...and get featured in her latest book. :D
