Can we talk about it, though?

Spike has a blog. Spike, a talking dog, has a blog. I'm a human, for heaven's sake, and I don't have a blog. I just...

Well, that's not entirely accurate; the issue's with the technicolor humanoids, but the pun was too good to pass up.

In any case, Hasbro saw fit to unveil no fewer than seven EqG shorts on the day of the Season 8 premiere, on top of the two that trickled out recently. Unfortunately, I can't do a timely review of those shorts since, well, Season 8 premiered. At least I'm set for a week should we get an intraseasonal hiatus.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled ancient legends to look into something a bit more contemporary. Namely, the latest batch of YouTube shorts… most of which are EweTube shorts. Let’s just hope the next one isn’t a live reaction of My Tiny Gecko or the whole franchise might slip into the collective unconscious.

This week, it’s back to YouTube and EweTube, as we take a look at the latest shorts from both the pony and human worlds.

And so, after a logistical hiccup, we come to the final bits of G4 animation I have left in the backlog. Let’s see if we can send it off on a high note.

With nothing new in the hopper (in the US, anyway,) it’s time to start tackling the EqG short backlog. Let’s see what four months has produced:

Two bits of breaking news to take into account. Firstly, another round of Better Together shorts just came out on Discovery Family’s app, and an enterprising soul already has them on Dailymotion. That means it’s time for another round of human shenanigans, with the animators taking full advantage of those swimsuits they made for “Forgotten Friendship.”

We’re not through by a long shot. Time to start on the Equestria Girls backlog.

We’re not quite through with the Better Together backlog yet. This week, we’ll be looking at the shorts’ school play storyline from start to finish. Places, people!

We may be in an intraseasonal hiatus, but there’s still a week’s worth of animation for me to review before going back to the comics. The Equestria Girls shorts never stopped being a thing. Indeed, they’ve been a thing for long enough that even Hasbro’s sluggish YouTube release schedule has almost caught up to this article. Let’s get started.

So, as I've been watching the various new EG shorts on both YouTube and the Discovery Family Go app, I've discovered something in the dialogue here and there which has convinced me of something: We're not seeing this series in chronological order.

Punk Rock Prom Queen brought up a good point in response to the first part of this timeline. Namely that, no matter how you massage it, Anon-A-Miss just doesn't work in the timeline of events of EG. The idea that after helping defeat the Sirens that the entire school would turn on Sunset that fast seems utterly ridiculous.

We interrupt my Zeno-Achillean efforts to catch up to IDW’s tortoise to take a look at some of the Equestria Girls shorts that have gone up recently. I held back on these because I like being able to provide links to the source material for those who haven’t seen them, and Hasbro has been slow-rolling the YouTube releases to get more people on the Discovery GO app. Thank goodness for Dailymotion.

Another week’s worth of EqG shorts to look into, and this week, it’s all about that music festival we’ll be hearing more about in two weeks (assuming you haven’t already watched that special, because American release times are just a suggestion.) Let’s tune in.

Well, that’s what the Discovery Family site’s calling it. Though to my surprise, they've manage to contain themselves enough to stop posting the videos there after putting up a quarter of them over the course of a week. That means I only have enough material for one of these before returning to the comics next week with a long-overdue look at the 2013 annual now that I actually have a copy. (Thanks again, princeps!)

Bit of a mop-up operation this week. Given four Equestria Girls shorts and one Friends Forever comic unaccounted for, I’m going to bring both to a close in one fell swoop. As always, links are provided for the shorts. Let’s get started:
