Well, Season 5 has come and gone, and it looks like we'll have to wait about a year for the next season to air. Time to see what the second half accomplished.
First, let's take a look at the episodes and see how they stack up:
Episode 14: Canterlot Boutique (Written by Amy Keating Rogers)
Well, for the first time in FiM history, we've got a mid season hiatus. We had to wait almost a year to get Season 5, but it seems to have been worth the wait.
Let's see how the episodes stack up, and what they accomplished.
Episodes 1 and 2: The Cutie Map a.k.a Cutie Markless Parts 1 and 2 (Written by Scott Sonneborn and M. A. Larson, Story by Meghan McCarthy)
It's been so long since we've gotten a traditional Spyro the Dragon game hasn't it? I'm not usually the "Errgh the new stuff suuuucks the old stuff is always going to be better!" type of guy but...
Maybe it's a bit too soon, since we still have over half a season to go and a lot could change since then. But some things have happened since then, so I think it's to reevaluate where our eight main characters stand. Here's the original list, pushed out just after Season 5 wrapped up. Chances are this list will update again once Season 6 ends, but we'll have to wait and see. In the mean time, let's find out who
With Friends Forever #20 singlehandedly reviving interest in the Friends Forever series, there was no doubt some concern from fans that perhaps #20 was just a fluke, and that we might not ever get another good one like that ever again. So Friends Forever #21 already had an uncertain future ahead of itself, as "Siege of The Crystal Empire" in the main series was beginning to turn into a trainwreck, and it seemed like nothing short of a miracle would be needed to keep the
Feburary 2016, unlike Feburary 2015, saw both its comics be released on time. I've already reviewed the main series issue for Feburary of 2016 (Main Series #39), so it's time to talk about Friends Forever #25. With Friends Forever #24 proving to be a disaster, was this issue able to pick things back up for the series, or send it spiraling downhill again? Well, let's find out.
(Yes, 5. Because saying 13 is as redundant as this series)
Last weekend I decided to finally take a look at the most recent Internet phenomenon. And, to be honest, I was really interested in this new story, in how could change the people's perspective about this topics. But as time went by, my emotions and expectations were going down and down and down. And just one question was in my mind:
On my deviant art account, I decided to do the impossible, and rank all the films of the Disney Renissance from weakest to strongest. You can find the journal here!
It's probably a bit early to be doing this, as we still have half a season to go. But I think there's enough to work with to update the rankings for the Student Six (even if they've appeared so infrequently they might as well not exist). Here's the first version, from March. Let's see what changed. As always, this list is purely the result of my personal opinion so please respect it.

Okay, some of you may have noticed that you can now disable comments and upvotes/downvotes on your stories. Now, I have... decidedly mixed feelings on this.
As the page turned from 2018 to 2019, the world prepared for what has so far been another pretty bad year (minus one aspect that has defined every year for the past few, several high profile celebrity deaths. So far the biggest has been Luke Perry). Hasbro tried to keep interest in the show alive with so called "Encore Shorts" that were an attempt to mimic the Equestria Girls ones for FiM, only to prove even more why that concept doesn't work. And when news finally broke about Season 9, it came
...about tossing either a reference or cameo of a past villain or even possibly the OC of another writer or YouTuber in the brony fandom in a future chapter of Car-Tunes, which is the eleventh entry in the SciTwi Shimmer Chronicles. Obviously, I would have to get permission from the created of the OC first if I went that route.
No new episodes from Seasons 1-7 to add to the list, but a whole lot of Season 8 episodes to add. Here's Version 4, in case you want to see some of the episodes already included from seasons prior. Like always, this list is the result of my personal opinion, and I mean no offense to anyone at Hasbro or DHX.
Fake It 'Til You Make It, Written by Josh Hamilton (Season 8, Episode 4)
With Season 7 having concluded and a Season 8 confirmed, the IDW comics once again had to tide fans over during a hiatus as rumors and speculation abounded. The main series opted for an indirect followup to "Marks and Recreation", meanwhile the Legends of Magic series was continuing its overarching story that it had started in just the previous issue. Was this issue able to keep the story flowing, or did it throw it off the rails? Well, let's find out.
As 2018 drew to a close, everyone was prepared to say goodbye to it, the Brony fandom none the less after what had been a very turbulent year plagued by a trouble season and constant leaks. As for the IDW comics, they were ending the year having wrapped up one side series, running a short lived five part one that went nowhere, and kicking off a third that looked promising. Meanwhile, the main series was already looking forward to 2019 with IDW's 20th anniversary to celebrate and a return to the
When November rolled around, fans of the show had to contend with the fact that there were now nomore episodes or season to look forward to. Equestria Girls would itself wrap up with a series of shorts bundled into a "special". So the comics were left to fill the void while fans were waiting for the anticipated Season 10 to start in 2020. The main series comics had seemed to hit a dry spell consisting of issues that felt rushed or lacked polish, and the side series had a three parter Student
As 2017 dawned with both Season 7 and the movie on the horizon (and as we would go on to find out, Season 8), the comic series was looking weaker and weaker by the day. With the announcement that the main series would start blending into the show's continuity starting with #51, there was also the announcement that the Friends Forever series would wrap up in March with issue #38, to make room for a new series also tied into Season 7, Legends of Magic. And with the Friends Forever
While the Season 5 finale was still relatively new in December of 2015, the drama over it reached a level not seen since the fandom's divide over Twilicorn after Season 3. As for IDW, 2015 had NOT been a good year for them, even their "Fiendship is Magic" series failed to generate significant interest, and the main series was sinking to a new low with the utter trainwreck that was "Siege of the Crystal Empire". As for the Friends Forever series, their most recent issue had involved Jay
With Season 7 back for a second half and the movie lurking just around the corner, the IDW comics were wrapping up their tie in prequel series, pushing out a delayed Legends of Magic for Sonambula (in addition to the planned one for Mage Meadowbrook), and another one-shot issue tying directly into the show. In this case, they decided on "A Health of Information" which was 18th in production order, but alas Discovery Family's quirky scheduling caused the episode order to be mixed up and
