    We're not dead! (Just to let you know)

    Greetings and salutations everyone,

    First, let me humbly apologize to any and all of you for the lack of activity recently. School is taking up very much of our time and right now our main focus is the preliminary exams and our upcoming HSCs. To alleviate any confusion, we're based in Australia where the education system is different.

    Well, it's been a while...

    Howdy folks,

    Looks like we're back! After a long couple months of studying, I think we're good to go back on the writing department. Sorry for being away, hell, when I joined up I didn't think anybody was reading these, but Astral insisted on it, so here it is...

RAINBOW ROCKS! · 11:16am Oct 5th, 2014

Hello everybody, Quetzal here signing in from America!

Well, the US to be specific, anyway. Astral told me about Rainbow Rocks just before I left and I was just SO PUMPED! What I wasn't so pumped about was that I had to write down my thoughts about it then post it here, but here they are anyway:

Right from the beginning (which was pretty much all in the sneak peeks) you could really see the improvement from the first movie. The effects are stunning for an animated film about colourful people with stilt legs but hey, the style stays true to the G4 franchise and has plenty of appeal. The characters are a lot better fleshed out, they are much deeper than they are portrayed. The voice acting is spot on as usual, but don't get me started on the singing, which was absolutely perfect. Knowing the internet you'll probably find it floating around somewhere. The movie includes so much fan-service it's funny, in a good way. It doesn't feel forced and it blends in well. I'll try not to spoil it but the main antagonists, Adiago Dazzle, Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze definitely seem like a threat, and have been close to defeating the mane 6 without a ludicrous game of hot-patato. It isn't easy to get a good portrayal of a manipulative character but they put it off well. Then there's the humour, so much humour. I swear I was laughing at least every 5 minutes.

Anyway, I would like to conclude my thoughts with some keywords for som eof my favourite funny moments. If you watched the movie, you'll get them. If you didn't, then you just have to wait.

"Did I get it?" - Fluttershy
"Lunch?! (then moments later) It's Taco Tuesday!" - Sonata Dusk
"Here to there! (x10)" - Pinkie Pie
"Flash Sentry was asking about me?!" - Twilight Sparkle
"I knew I used to much grape juice," - Sonata, again, trust me she's funny.

There's many many more, trust me!
