I think it's safe to say that even more so than Season 6, Season 7 has left fans with a lot of new characters to talk about, many of which have gone on to receive a ton of attention in the fandom. But which ones are the best of the best? Which ones left the strongest impression, one way or another? Well, that's what you're about to find out.

You know the drill by now. Here's the fourth version, from the end of Season 6. Let's see who moved up, moved down, dropped off, and got added (but before we do, let's look at some honorable mentions. They are: Stormy Flare, Fleetfoot, Soarin, Spitfire, Dizzy Twister a.k.a Orange Swirl, Bulk Biceps, and Night Glider).

I'll probably have to make another one of these after "School Raze" considering what's likely to happen (I won't spoil it for those who still don't know about the synopsis or about the villain), plus an upcoming IDW comic series in a few months will be using some former antagonists. But for now, with "A Matter of Principals" having finally aired here in the U.S. I think it's worth looking back on all the reformations of the villains and see how they stack up. Besides there's a new one to

For a while it seemed like Season 8 wasn't going to have any memorable songs in my book, it wasn't that they were bad it's just that they didn't quite resonate with me. But in the last couple of episodes Season 8 really pulled out all the stops song wise, producing two songs I knew for sure I wanted to add here and a third that I decided was worth including in place of another song. But a top twenty seven seemed impractical, so I decided to add a few more songs and make it a top thirty.

In light of what was shown to us today, this list definitely needed updating. Not only did a couple of old villains come back, but a brand new one was introduced to us. Because of those changes, this list definitely needed modifying. Chances are that when all is said and done this list will be updated once again. For the time being though, let's see how much of a difference the Season 9 premiere made. Here's the

Season 9 introduced quite a few new characters to us, though not all of them necessarily made a lasting impression. So which ones stood out in the end? Which are the ones that might inspire us to make more stuff about them or be eager to see if they'll appear in the comics at all? Well, let's find out. As always this list is purely the result of my personal opinion.

Another season, another round of examining characters. Starting with the earth ponies, and we got quite a few. At least one of the newcomers made it onto the list, but how many new ones did and who did they end up replacing? Well, you're about to find out. Here's the fourth version, from the end of Season 6. Let's see who moved up, moved down, got added, or dropped off. Before we begin though, there are some

Now that I've corrected the error for Earth Ponies and put Star Tracker where he belongs, it's time to see which unicorn takes his place on the list. Like with the list for Earth Ponies I posted yesterday, this one is just a correction not a completely brand new version. And the same rules as my other top ten lists apply. (Honorable mentions go to: Twilight Velvet, Stygian, Sassy Saddles, Fancy Pants, Coriander Cumin, Saffron Masala, Sugar Belle, and Party Favor)

This list definitely needed an update after Season 9, which while it ultimately didn't give us many new villains did us give us a lot to consider and even cemented at least one villain's redemption. Again, I will not be including villains on the level of "So bad they're good" or "Love to hate", no reformed villains will appear, and Grubber and Capper were never really villains or did anything villainous (the former in particular had no reason to exist) so they will not appear. You know the

Unlike Season 4, which only introduced two new unicorns, Season 5 had an abundence of them. The season premiere alone gave us three new unicorns, and three of Twilight's old Canterlot friends got to return alongside a new fourth friend, and Lyra and Vinyl Scratch featured promintely in the 100th episode, and of course we can't forget about Sassy Saddles.

You know the drill by now, we've got some newcomers to consider, and some old to re-evaluate. Here's the third version, from the end of Season 6. Let's see who moved up, moved down, dropped off, and got added! (Honorable mentions go to: Twilight Velvet, Night Light, Stygian, Sassy Saddles, Fancy Pants, Coriander Cumin, Saffron Masala, Sugar Belle, and Party Favor).

It took some consideration to decide who to include, but I think there will be enough changes to justify a third version of this list. Surprisingly, Season 6, at least early on, a lot more strong male characters than female characters. Here's the second version. Let's see who made this list time around.

10. Stormy Flare

I didn't do one of these in Season 5 because my opinions on the princesses didn't change, but after another season has come and gone my opinions have just a little, plus there's one new princess that needed to be added and I'm sure you all know which one I'm referring to. Here's the second version, from all the way back during the end of Season 4, let's see what's changed.

Now that we have another redemption of sorts, and "Nightmare Nights" from IDW comics has started its five issue run (fittingly it begins on the month that ends with Halloween and ends on the month of Valentine's Day) it's time for the rankings to be updated a little. Here's the previous version, from the middle of Season 8, like before I'm not counting the reformations/redemptions of any comics exclusive villains and as always this

By now you know the drill, so I won't repeat myself. Here's the fifth version, from the end of Season 7. Let's see who moved up, moved down, dropped off, and got added (but before we do, let's look at some honorable mentions. They are: Stormy Flare, Fleetfoot, Soarin, Rumble, Dizzy Twister a.k.a Orange Swirl, Bulk Biceps, Thunderlane, and Night Glider).

With earth ponies and pegasi out of the way, it's time to cover the unicorns once again. This season was interesting for unicorns, we had some good and some bad. In fact, I might say the good from the new characters added here outshined the bad or forgettable from most of the veterans. As always, this list is purely the result of my personal opinion. Here's version 4.2, from before Season 8. Let's see who moved up,

This list will actually likely have the most significant changes to it even though there's only one new character to include on the list. Which is quite interesting considering the last time I did this list there was a certain character who'd been neglected for an entire season who then came back in spectacular fashion and couldn't be ignored. Anyway, you know the drill by now when it comes to these lists.

We tackled earth ponies, now it's time to tackle pegasi. You know the drill by now. Here's Version 6.2, from just after "The Best Gift Ever". Let's see who moved up, moved down, got added, and got removed (but before we do, let's look at some honorable mentions. They are: Kerfuffle, Stormy Flare, Misty Fly, Fleetfoot, Soarin, Rumble, Dizzy Twister a.k.a Orange Swirl, Bulk Biceps, Thunderlane,

Even though I plan to go more into detail on these writers (and the five best writers in my opinion) on my DeviantArt account come Monday, this list still needed to be updated. With the positions of many writers on the show changing overall after Season 9 this list needed to be updated. Here's the third version, from a season ago. Let's see what changed. And as always, I mean no disrespect to anyone at
