    I thought it was interesting that they rendered the timberwolves with cell-shaded 3D animation. I don't think they've ever used 3D stuff in the show before. I hope it's a one-time deal though since those wolves didn't match the look of the show well at all. I guess having to animate all those small pieces of wood in 2D was too hard this time around.

    ..... Gonna go watch Code Geass againb:chuckle

    Even though I watch the episodes as they come out and appreciate the characterization of each of the bearers of harmony and etcetc along with that they're not humans(watching shows where the characters are humans bores me normally for some reason :x Emempting like.. House and the like xD House is awesome~), I don't really get the obsession either/ponies being everywhere sometimes irritates me to varying degrees (I've gone back to stage of 'eh I really don't care that they're everywhere' xD)


    Also I didn't notice the animation difference before except for in a few scenes; I went and watched the scenes with them again and it bothered me a bit that it was so different D: Since I don't think in the Granny Smith episode the Timberwolves were animated as such, symbolism as them as wild animals from the forest doesn't work as a legitimate reason >:

    To tell the truth I thought it was the weakest of the season. Spike was just such a loser the whole episode. I liked the random banter but the actual story was lame.

    Well yeah, his incompetence in this episode really irked me. I enjoyed it because of the facial animation improvements on the ponies. xD

    This episode had its ups and downs.

    The van part reminded me instantily of this video/comedian skit that someone made a video thing for, it's totally unponyrelated though.
    So many Rainbow Dashies/Iiii don't know who any of the ponies not from FiM are. xD I don't really know what my reaction is, but even though it started getting repetitive after a while I watched the whole thing and normally stop when videos stop getting like that, so that must stand for something. (Almost instantily clicked the X when it did Carameldansen though, can't stand Carameldansen. x3)

    You know I blame myself posting on here for attracting Gecko to this thread, is that the case at all? xD Getting closer to your purple title~

    That ep needed just a little fixing. Like a scene after Fluttershy storms off where Discord tries to have enjoy some random Chaos but realized it wasn't any fun without a friend like Fluttershy.

    ...who in the world is Twily.....
    Also didn't this same general plot happen in one or two fanfics before? xD Regardless it was pretty interesting to see :3
    I remember Discord's back being alot less straight, though, aka he held it at more a cuuurve(not just in statue forme either, like in last season when he was running around doing stuff~) and this bothered me the enter flippin' time I was watching the episode xD.

    Edit wow I just realized you meant Twil(e)y as in Twilight and not Twily as in like.. Twil a type of wood and thus a totally different character. Well I'm smart. :x

    Lol Veneir :D Rumors down there in black:

    I really hope that Princess Skyla has to do lot of things with the new episode, because it'd mess up everything to make Twily a princess so early. I saw texts that she'll become an alicorn, I've seen others saying not. I dun get why'd they put something in the show that (as I read) most of the bronies&pegasis' (including me) dun really want. :I All the bronies and pegasis' are confused now O.O Is that true Tara Strong not gonna give Twily's voice from S4? Q~Q
    Well, I'm pretty confused.

    >Alicorn Twilight

    Assuming Skyla's still in the picture, I bet Twilight goofed and swapped destinies with her and this...this happened. Well, with that said, I'm definitely enjoying the ****storm it caused, but I'm withholding judgement till we see what happens. It may be a one episode thing or maybe it'll be reverted later on (or not)...time will tell.

    (I can still admit that this rustles my jimmies though...oh well, if this world will burn then I may as well make smores~)

    Edit: As for Tara Strong...

    She's quite the card, so its likely a joke.

    They have to create a story to sell the toy. That's the company's first priority. And I'm confident that M.A. Larson will do good with this episode.

    Best not to worry about it and enjoy the show!

    inb4 Dream sequence, "What if" scenario, or something equally not nearly as big a thing as the fandom is afraid it will be.


    Like how a while back enough people thought Trixie's allicorn amulet episode was something more tied in to King Sombrero (I know I know but I'm calling him that anyways!) posessing her. b:chuckle

    I think its good to mix things up every once in a while. Even if this is an executive directive it can spur a lot of creative decisions that wouldn't otherwise be made. I'm sure the wedding themed S2 finale was also a rouse to sell toys but that turned out very well. I have confidence the team there is going to make it work.
