Hi everypony.
Hi everypony.
Hello and welcome back to the Anime Otaku Survey! It’s been a little while since my previous installment. For anyone just tuning in for the first time, this is a blog series dedicated to the study and review of anime that I watch. I highlight everything about the show that stands out to me, the good and the bad. As always, my reviews on here tend to be a bit spoilery, so you have been warned.
0/10 - AWFUL (unsalvageable, never should have been made, wouldn't recommend to anyone)
1/10 - HORRIBLE/BORING (tedious, hurts to watch, a bore, no reason to watch him/her, whatever positive things about him/her are tiny and not enough)
2/10 - VERY BAD (slightly less terrible, maybe there were one or two things you liked kept him/her from being a 1 but still very painful)
0/10 - AWFUL (unsalvageable, never should have been made, wouldn't recommend to anyone)

2/10 - VERY BAD (slightly less terrible, maybe there were one or two things you liked kept him/her from being a 1 but still very painful)
[EXAMPLES INCLUDED AT THE END]
There is a certain kind of story that I love. But I've yet to find any name for the trope, or genre, or whatever it is that connects the stories. This is a problem as it makes looking for more stories like this a real chore. It surprises me that the connection doesn't exist considering the litany of fairly specific tropes you can find on TVTropes.com.
0/10 - AWFUL (unsalvageable, nothing to be gained from watching it, never should have been made, wouldn't recommend to anyone, completely butchers an important subject/teaches a horrible and downright toxic moral)
1/10 - HORRIBLE/BORING (tedious to sit through, hurts to watch it, a bore, no reason to watch it, whatever positive things about it are tiny and not enough to save it)
Finally all caught up. (faints from exhaustion)

John's about to find out that in Equestria: no good deed goes unpunished, and human life is cheap.
In other words, the hiatus is over and it's time for the next chapter:

Okey dokey! I got all your questions, and thanks to those that sent them in! It’s been a pretty slow day at work, so I managed to type up answers here pretty quick. I hope they explain some things!
-What inspired you to write this? Aside from, of course, 5s/4.
For starters, Zombons is apparently canon, or at least its final chapter. Also, I'm pretty sure that's how writing of this episode went:
Not that I think it's bad, because it was awesome. More on it in the final episode rank, starting from the weakest:
Appleloosa's Most Wanted
Me and Lord of Dorkness write a dark satire of 5score, where we rant about how the process of the curse has a butt-ton of horrible implications nobody seems to notice, and also annoyed at how nobody gives a shit (besides like, 2) about the 25 years they've spent as humans.
Plus, where the hell did all the scientists go? Is there no one interested in scienceing the shit out of magic?

Hard to believe Season 5 is already halfway over with. Well, it's time for me to give a summary of my thoughts over the first half of the season as well as give a score to each episode. As always, these are my opinions and you are all entitled to yours. With that said, let's get started!
