Make Your Mark released eight more episodes, and while I had some misgivings about Chapter one, Chapter two is a noticeable improvement. First off, I guess the animators needed Chapter one as their rough draft because a lot of my complaints about Chapter one is noticeably fixed in Chapter two: the animation looks faster and more livelier, the colors pop more, the lighting is better, and even the writing is noticeably funnier. We see so much more of the Mane 5, and they are all so

G5 has finally started the next phase in its development, and now we are looking forward to a multipart series. So far, it's okay. I can't say it wowed me like MLP:ANG did, but it wasn't a bad episode. I do appreciate the fact that it continues the mane conflict of ponies learning to get along again. I like how we get a good look at how these characters act. The new voices are really growing on me. The art direction and animation don't look half bad. Believe me, I've seen all

Well, at long last, we finally got to see more from this new generation. It's not much. Just a bunch of cheap MLP shorts to watch on YouTube while we wait for Make Your Mark and the subsequent TV specials. So what are my thoughts on Tell Your Tale? It's okay. I get what they are for. Tell Your Tale is just cute little shorts that we'll be getting while waiting for better content. It's best to approach these shorts similar to what one would with a weekly comic strip: You get

Like a lot of bronies, when I saw MLP:ANG, one question I immediately had was whatever happened to the old Equestria. The characters in the movie talk about the old Equestria like it is ancient history, implying that G5 takes place decades or centuries in the future. But other than that, it is not clear how we got here. There are also other questions like if the ponies are divided again, then what happened to windigoes? Why are the ponies no longer the stewards of their environment, i.e. earth

I've got bad news. Michael Morones had passed away. The Equestria Daily article summarizes his story. I'm not going to lie, I do relate to Michael's story. When I was a kid, I too struggled with depression and thoughts of suicide, for different reasons from Michael, but I too had been there. Thankfully, I never attempted suicide, but that wasn't a guarantee at the time. Hearing Michael's story makes

I wanted to write this blog a week ago, but with a new job and moving, I've been preoccupied as of late. But now I got some time to write, and so far, the movie looks promising. First of all, the CGI looks fantastic with bright and diverse colors, detailed characters, and fluid animation. It certainly gets an A+ for it's art direction and animation.👍

I just watched the G5 movie trailer and it is pretty cute. Right away, the characters and animation looks really good with their fluffy coats, detailed hair, and gorgeous colors. If you want an example of how bad G5's character designs could have looked, look no further than Filly Funtasia with its ugly character proportions and creepy faces. If you don't know what Filly Funtasia is,

Silver Quill has released another video about the G5 series. In his video, he brought up Hasbro's proclamations that G5 will explicitly address race relations. If you'll permit me to provide my 2 cents on the issue, I've always thought that when it came to representing real-life people, MLP's real strength came from generalized examples rather than one-to-one allegories. Take for example the Young Six who represent intercultural
