Yeah this episode just felt like it was really holding back it's punches when it comes to the Inspiration Manifestation thing. As if McCarthy and Powell were at odds (either with the concept for against each other) with going all out with the idea and really raising hell

This episode, while good, gives a lot of mixed feelings. Initially I thought the moral would be "One pony's beauty is a another pony's nightmare", and that your vision of the world doesn't exactly jibe with others. However, Rarity is a businesspony, who infuses her trade with her own style and...

This episode impressed me more than I thought. It was like the better version of "Mysterious Mare Do Well", where Dash's quirks or foibles were used in a way to teach her a lesson. Except unlike the last one which was didactic and insulting, this one had a more positive and upbeat message...

Pretty darn good episode today. Quite frankly, I was totally anticipating Sweetie Belle to really tear apart Rarity's costume, instead of a subtle unraveling. Then again, these are markedly smart characters, even when malicious, so I guess it seems well in place (and kindof necessary if they...

Maybe it's just me but I'm kinda marginally annoyed at how chipper Sei and Reiji are whenever Meijin is around. They're all like "OH YEAH! WE'RE TOTALLY GONNA BEAT YOU MEIJIN JUST WAIT AND SEE I'LL SHOW YOU!" and Meijin's all "=|". I know they're the protagonists and all, but it's kinda odd...

My love for Build Fighters has graduated to pure adoration.

I just wish it was foreshadowed and what have you and didn't lessen Fluttershy's impact. What time spent on the useless banter about how pretty and beautiful the Breezies world is could've given Fluttershy much more depth as a character.

But here's the thing, Fluttershy is the ONLY one out of the Mane Six to have any connection (emotional or what have you) to the Breezies. Having the Mane Six there just felt INCREDIBLY superfluous and pointless, when the entire climax should've just been Fluttershy leading them home, getting...

Eh, pretty low upper tier episode here. Nothing too spectacular but for the most part just pretty darn good. We get some development for the CMCs, Twilight thankfully took things in stride ('cept gorging on hayburgers), and overall provided a rather enjoyable 22 minutes without getting too...

They just weren't hard enough for her. There wasn't anything like in "Griffon The Brush-Off" where Rainbow Dash just yelled at her to stop when she was being Pinkie. They needed to put their hoof down a bit harder here. Other than that, good episode. A nice callback to a classic episode with...

Huh, I was always under the impression that it was always going to be in the backdrop. But thankfully they chose characters instead of setpiece (like Castle Mane-ia or *shrug* Apple Family Reunion). Although personally the big major flaw in this episode is that Rarity refers to Spike as...

Loved this episode. A bit more on the jokey side than "Rarity Takes Manehattan", but it's saved by Rarity's exceptional performance as well as the focus being made between her and AJ. I enjoyed how it was all slow build-up until Rarity goes full hick on everypony, as it would have made the...

Nooooooot quite, as that was focused on a really big important deal and this was just a small personal matter, and mostly focused on what happens between friends who don't see each other often as opposed to a bunch of friends who go on a major thing only to have their separate dreams...

Eh. This was just... alright. This was essentially a very bare bones, hackneyed rendition of Sweet & Elite. Obvious revelations are obvious, and well... it was just... eh. The only really big endearing parts were Dash choosing neither team, the Ponyville relay team, their surprise...

Immensely enjoyable fare today. Obviously "Apples to the Core" remains exceptional high quality even months after its animatic at SDCC, but everything else worked exceptionally well. I'm reminded at how around the end of Season 2 people were concerned about the lack of any episodes where it...
