Alicorn Reviews: My Little Pony: School Daze Part 1 and 2 Review · 5:44am Apr 6th, 2018
A new edition of Pony Central is up and it's that time again for a new season. The seasonal opening titled School Daze sees the return of the two-part episodes as Twilight opens a school of friendship. When she and her friends got back from Canterlot after the events of the Storm King, the cutie map has expanded. Twilight then thinks of plan to open a school so she could teach other creatures from around the world the lessons of friendship. However, teaching and running a school could be harder than first perceived by her when she has to convince the EEA of providing lessons to non-ponies. The premiere also introduces six new characters called by the fandom as The Young Six. A guest voice actor named Maurice LaMarche best known for playing Brain from Pinky and the Brain plays a role as well. He voices the male unicorn called Neighsay, the Chancellor of the EEA. a
Walking into this I had my skepticism about these new characters considering the show always puts our favorite magic girl group first. Sure there were other characters like the CMC, Discord, Trixie, and Starlight who was giving solo episodes. However, to introduce six new characters like this does show the writers are confident to take the show in another direction. Even though it's failed with Starlight (who was a response to Sunset) but I'm confident the writers can pull it off this time. I mean they did it with Sunset to near to perfection so I will look forward to these six kids. What I would like to expect from the Young Six is for the writers to explore their flaws. I also would like to see what traits they could excel at as we seen from the Mane Six. I will be looking forward to each of them to see where the writer take these kids throughout the season.
