Ever since Rarity knew she was a filly, she knew what it meant to be a lady. Her prince would sweep her off her hooves any moment now, if only she were a little more lady-like. That's what she tells Twilight, anyhow.

Yup, it's the end of Tangled. With it done, next week we'll be starting The Owl House.
Decided to show Sailor Moon instead of She-Ra to get to Sailor Venus's intro. Plus there's way more left of Sailor Moon than She-Ra.
Finally released on YouTube! For International Women's Day, lol
Though while I'm here, I should highlight how the entire DHX staff for Equestria Girls was women. Still a rarity, and not even the main show managed that.
Though the padding is clear this go around, the Tangled ending is still good. Seemed like people enjoyed it well enough.
The first Sailor Moon episode was pretty fun, with some silly comedy and algae throwing.
The second episode finally introduced Sailor V AKA Sailor Venus, along with Artemis. However, this required the other characters to be pretty dumb, and they come off as pretty lame. Still, as long as you just accept that, it was a fun episode.

I've finally gotten around to updating the PonyEra episode guide for season 9.

2. The Good Place - 306 - The Ballad of Donkey Doug
3. Kipo - 5 - The Astronomers in Turtlenecks
4. Harley Quinn - 3 - So You Need a Crew
The Good Place had a great set of episodes, including a sequence where Chidi's mind breaks and he goes around shirtless, showing off his intense philosophy professor muscles. People noted they went surprisingly expensive for some quick site gags, particularly the Florida taxi being a monster truck running over other cars. Also got Eleanor pointing out that more guys need to be bi.
This is one of the weakest Kipo episodes, I feel, due to the characters acting pretty dang dumb, but it does have rapping science wolves. Next one is much better.
Between watching episodes 2 and 3 of Harley Quinn, I watched a video review that points out many of the issues with the series, particularly regarding the lack of female characters, and it was hard not to notice that aspect coming up here. For instance, the fact that Ivy and Harley can't have a scene to themselves, and the male-coded plant has to be there too. And of course, Harley decides to make her crew all male villains. Still, this episode had some good gags.

New ForgaLorga, oddly having more or less the same concept as Agrol's last video, but it's more negative and less fun I feel.
"Owl's Well That Ends Well" is a fine episode, I feel, but definitely on the weaker end for the show. Don't think I didn't notice that some people specifically came into the stream after it ended, though.
"Inspiration Manifestation" is pretty fun. Rarity's eating noises are pretty great. Owlowiscious is used well here, and it's a shame we didn't get more of him and Spike like this.
She-Ra was fun, even if the characters acted pretty dumb in it. I'm unclear when the Flutterina swap happened.
The Owl House's first episode was pretty good, on rewatch, and people seemed to like it. Likeable characters, a well paced story, and spots with really good animation.
Sailor Moon had a pretty eventful pair of episodes, with the reveal that Sailor Moon is the Moon Princess (gasp!), Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask learning of each other's identities, the backstory of the Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion, another Heavenly King down, Sailor Venus becoming useless already, and Tuxedo Mask being captured. During the second episode, someone who hadn't watched the series wondered if these were the final episodes. I almost feel bad about the fact that I only intend to cut out one more episode from the rest of this season, since that's a lot of filler. But I can't bring myself to skip showcase episodes for the other girls, after they didn't have much to do in this story.
The Dic version of the Moon Princess reveal was streamed too, and I didn't realize they had insert songs other than in the season 1 final battle. All the added dialogue really is forced and unnecessary.
New 3D short. Despite the thumbnail, this involves a 3D Rarity.
Warning: Non-Tabitha Rarity! People are saying it's the same VA as Pinkie.

2. Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts - 6 - Ratland
3. Harley Quinn - 4 - Finding Mr. Right
There was a problem with the second The Good Place episode, so we skipped it for today.
The episode we did watch was pretty good. It has one of my favorite dumb moments, of Chidi becoming oddly calm after Kamala makes all of his fears his own.
Kipo featured the proper introduction of the main villain, Scarlemagne, and Benson revealing he's gay in a well-handled moment. Plus dangerous flamingos and a theme park run by rats... I wonder what's up with that (thinking).
The Harley Quinn episode was pretty good, introducing King Shark and Robin (Damian). There were a lot of fun concepts, and not too much gross stuff.
Post-finale, the grown-up Cutie Mark Crusaders seek their fortunes in Canterlot. Heartbreak ensues.

Latest chapter: Kiss Away the Nightmares
Great job with this story so far. There were some character appearances I didn't expect, and you handled them well. You've done well depicting the melancholy of not being satisfied with your life but also not quite knowing what to do about it. Given the pacing, it seems like this will be a long story, but I'll try to stick to it.
Season 10 continues! Zecora, Applejack, and their friends travel into the depths of the desert to find the home of the mysterious Grootslang! But obstacles stand in their way—obstacles that can only be overcome with the help of some brand-new magic, friendship, and... a musical number?!

6. Sailor Moon - 37 - Let's Become a Princess: Usagi's Bizarre Training
I wasn't quite going for it, but the MLP episodes ended up having a Covid-19 theme. First has the ponies going into quarantine, second has Cadance's normal hairdresser out sick and the pony Olympics in danger of not happening.
The first episode is still fun.
The second one is fine, though it depends on characters being really dumb, I don't get why Chickadee wrecked the training course, and the ending is contrived. That dance routine is still really nice, though.
She-Ra revealed that Glimmer has leveled past She-Ra, even beating up Catra, and Adora isn't happy about that. Double Trouble was a lot of fun here.
The Owl House episode was pretty well received, and people were surprised by what a Disney show was getting away with.
The Sailor Moon episodes were pretty fun, both pretty heavy on gags. For some reason Usagi actually being good at throwing frisbees now really got me.
Well, we watched Playmobil the Movie in the new Tuesday stream. It isn't a terrible movie, but certainly not one I'd have paid money to watch. Right off the bat, we get a live action musical number, followed by DEAD PARENTS, then timeskip. Then wacky adventure.
Animation-wise, it isn't bad. I like Carla and Maximus's expressions. However, it isn't that good either. It's very basic. The voice direction is good, but the dialogue and songs are weak. The story is bland. The only reasonably interesting part is the spy movie parody with Rex Dasher, which of course is what was shown in all the trailers.
The stream itself was surprisingly packed. There was a fair amount to riff on, keeping it fun, though it wasn't super riffable.
Looking at upcoming movies for this stream, it seems to be the mediocre CGI films stream.

Diamond shutting down affects all comics, but for us, that means this week's releases will be the last MLP issues for a while. Status of digital releases is unknown currently.
Comic - Friendship is Magic #88, Equestria Girls: March Radness
Friendship is Magic #88
This is the final non-season 10 comic, and with Covid-19 possibly the last one for a while, and... it's alright. This issue is mainly about playing through the story beats, and things go about as you'd expect. The art is solid, but otherwise there really isn't much to say.
Silver Quill's review brings up the interesting point through this point, there was always a feeling that anything that happened in the comic could freely be contradicted by the show, and it was, thus it was at a lower level of canon. With season 10, though, that changes. As for the issue itself, I don't think Silver Quill really has much interesting to say.
Equestria Girls: March Radness
Here's the first Equestria Girls comic since 2014, made up of three stories. Art is all by fandom artist Pencils, and honestly, the quality goes up and down. There are a lot of cute panels, but also some weird looking and rough ones.
The first story features the girls in detention, and it's fun. We get different perspectives on the incident that led to detention, with lots of sight gags like evil hamster lord Fluttershy and verbal gags like Fluttershy and Rarity thinking a basketball is a soccer ball.
The second story is the weakest, with Rainbow wanting to go to AK Yearling's book signing and rushing through a day with Applejack, learning that she should have just told Applejack what was going on. The art is also weaker here, making me think Pencils wasn't into this story. BTW, we barely see AK Yearling here, so we don't really learn much about her and whether she's really Daring Do.
The last story was both drawn and written by Pencils, and the art is stronger here seemingly to reflect his interest. There's a school sports competition coming up and Rainbow tells the other girls to train so it won't be a cakewalk for her. The other girls do and they each beat Rainbow in one competition, so she gets second place in everything. While she overall got the most points, she's upset she didn't win anything, but the final competition is a team soccer match and she realizes that's the real competition she wanted to win. This one is a lot of fun, with some great reactions.
The issue also ends with a reprint of The Fall of Sunset Shimmer, for those who were looking for it.
Silver Quill's review points out something I hadn't consciously noticed, where the new-to-EQG characters are drawn differently than the main girls.
As Silver Quill puts it, Ms. Harshwinny has more of an anime proportion than Rarity.
There are also some art mistakes, like Sunset being colored with bare legs instead of pants, and a thought bubble being given to Applejack instead of Rainbow.

Act II Chapter 19
Great chapter. Funny how the rough draft reading on your server was before, well, all this, but reading the chapter I still thought to myself that Luna's just forcing everyone to quarantine. I noticed the changes from the rough draft, and the pacing is much better now. It's nice to see their plan actually did work with Dusk, and we got more insight as to what the curse makes ponies see. And of course, the moments between Rarity and Twilight were sweet. Though they still haven't resolved the problem that made them fight, the default is for them to be in love.

This was a good set of The Good Place episodes, including a clip show mostly made up of new scenes and Janet kicking ass. We also get the next big twist, with the reveal that there's a problem with the afterlife point system.
Kipo featured a very creepy antagonist and some fun dream sequences. Amazing how anime Wolf's dreams are when she presumably has never seen anime.
Harley Quinn was another good episode, aside from the unfortunate Jewish stereotypes.

Interlude V
Hmm, a flashback? Here? Well, I'm sure everything will go fine for the heroes.
It's great to see the first chapter from Rarity's perspective, now that we have more insight into how she feels, and I suppose now we have more insight into her thoughts for whatever is coming up. Also an interesting look at an alternate Rarity-perspective TEK.

The Owl House is "wait, is that a rival character? DROP EVERYTHING we're shipping them" the episode.
Also finally we get another Sailor Says.
~~~
PonyFest Online was held earlier today / yesterday and it seemed to go pretty well for an online-only convention where all the panels were streamed. I did my part to support vendors, spending roughly $250 on commissions and pins that I'll probably never use as pins.
Both FiM episodes were fun. It's still striking how odd Twilight's voice is in "Winter Wrap Up". In "Tanks for the Memories", I forgot the entire bit with Fluttershy making Rainbow cry.
The She-Ra episode was alright. It was a bottle episode, but I didn't think it was too interesting. Glitched Light Hope was fun. Those ember spore things were really inconsistent with how much damage they do.
The Owl House episode was alright too. It's interesting going back to this episode with how it gets reframed later, especially with how Amity doesn't even interact with Luz much here. Regardless, this marked the start of Luz and Amity shipping, I assume due to Akko and Diana shippers moving right on into it.
The Sailor Moon episodes were fun, though seriously the Sailor Guardians are really dumb here. A skiing contest where the winner is named Moon Princess? Trap from the Dark Kingdom. Skating lessons that are free for groups of five? Trap from the Dark Kingdom. It was also notable how they tried so hard to give Minako a comedic gimmick with her being mistaken about common sayings, with her being a late addition.
The Sailor Says was standard barely connected to the episode stuff.

It was also notable how they tried so hard to give Minako a comedic gimmick with her being mistaken about common sayings, with her being a late addition.
I think it fits with Minako's Sailor V manga personality, where she doesn't study or pay attention, but she's confident and outgoing enough to not let the gaps in her knowledge stop her, or even slow her down. Minako will just wing it and blurt out whatever and keep going.
Minako is basically the proto-Usagi (or Usagi is Minako 2.0), but their characters are different enough that they really do feel like two different characters. But it does present a problem when they don't have enough time to let people get to know Minako, and how she differs from Usagi.
The biggest crime of the anime (which was foolishly repeated with the remake anime) is that they didn't launch the show with a small Sailor V OAV series. It removed the context of Usagi's early-episodes looking up to Sailor V, undermined the impact of V joining Moon's team, and it robbed Minako of some needed character time.
Twilight slowly feels her sensation slipping away, and she doesn't know why.
www.fimfiction.net
Good story. You did a great job depicting Twilight's loss of sensation. I think this story could have been expanded further, showing how Rarity and Twilight's relationship is years into this condition, and how Rarity feels about this, but I still thought it worked at this length.

Remix of the short Rainbow Roadtrip start song
One of my commissions came in, actually requested before PonyFest.
Stream followup, we watched Trolls (about those Troll dolls). I actually watched a home copy around when this came out, and I charitably thought it was fairly good for the first half but bad for the second. Watching again, I can safely say it's only like a 10 minute stretch of the movie that's any good, when they're traveling through the forest. The art design of the movie actually is quite good, especially in the forest, with tons of great looking creatures with a yarn-like quality. However, the entire second half of the movie takes place in the deliberately ugly Gergen Town and drops the adventure story for a sort of Cinderella story. The beginning is filled with fart jokes, though that drops off. However, most of the jokes remain pretty dumb.
Overall, the good parts are the forest segment art design, the songs (though as a jukebox musical, they're mostly songs people already knew were good), and particularly the song sequence for the forest travel sequence. The bad parts are everything else. The frustrating thing about the movie is that you can see a good movie there, but it just doesn't do it.

The Good Place episodes were good, with some impressive work from Janet's actress as she portrays every other main non-Michael character. We also get the next big twist of the series and a look at the real Good Place.
Kipo had some cute raccoon people, Dave almost being helpful, and a generally fun story. This episode is written by Lewis and Songco, who have worked on FiM, BTW. (They're also the series' story editors).

Stream announcement, we're watching the following.
1. FiM - 210 - Secret of My Excess
2. FiM - 521 - Scare Master
3. She-Ra - 406 - Princess Scorpia
4. The Owl House - 4 - The Intruder
5. Sailor Moon - 41 - I Won't Run Away from Love Anymore: Ami vs. Mamoru
6. Sailor Moon - 42 - Sailor Venus' Past: Minako's Tragic Love
I had something else to do during the last hour of shows, so I shuffled things around. People were slow to join at first, but they came along as it went on.
She-Ra was alright, but the actual lead characters really do just feel like idiots and don't feel too likable right now. At least Scorpia realizes Catra is a jerk now.
The Owl House was a good episode, setting up a lot of things for the future, and it was a solid story on its own.
The first Sailor Moon episode had a good showing for Ami, not so much for Makoto. Second episode focused on Minako, with Usagi coming off as more bratty than usual. I was hoping for the episode to cover Sailor V's origin story, but it didn't. I have to say it's a bit odd that she spent a fair amount of time in London as Sailor V before returning to Tokyo when she's still in middle school. Both episodes were fun. Only four episodes left in the season.
For the MLP episodes, I had to drop out, but seems like people enjoyed them.
A bad movie, of course, but an entertaining one. The glasses guy was around for longer than I expected, though he still ends up being irrelevant to the story. The woman with the glasses was the highlight, besides the famous scenes, with her over the top acting.
MLP: The Manga: A Day in the Life of Equestria Volume 2
Unlike the first volume, this volume has a continuous story all throughout. Pinkie is looking forward to an upcoming festival, but it never comes. After weeks of reliving the same day over and over, she finally realizes she's in a time loop!
The entire first half of the volume is devoted to Pinkie going through the same day and slowly figuring out something weird is going on. I enjoyed how much detail it went into, even devoting a lot of time to a red herring, and we got a lot of cute moments with the ponies.
I thought it went a bit downhill once Pinkie came across the evil plot and it turned into a pretty self-indulgent Doctor Who crossover, complete with an equivalent to The Master. His name is Professor What, but Star Dancer addresses him as master. That right there points to one big issue. Star Dancer was a pretty fun character in the last volume, but here she's simply the Master's assistant, which felt like a waste. This was fun, but I wasn't a huge fan of how it became all about Doctor Hooves.
Silver Quill's review harps on this point too. It's weird to have the "knowing winks" of the previous volume turn out to be set up for a crossover, and the one original character is subservient to this.
Still, he agrees with me that the second half is still a lot of fun and worth checking out.

4. Harley Quinn - 7 - The Line
We've reached the end of The Good Place season 3, and this set of episodes is pretty fun. Among other things, Chidi sees the Time-Knife! And also things go full circle with the characters having to run their own neighborhood.
Kipo was also a good episode, with some great action sequences, a sad flashback, and an enemy becoming a friend.
Harley Quinn was the most gruesome episode in a while, but it was fun. It was kind of weird that they made Queen of Fables the character that crosses the line for Harley and the others. Not so much that a character crosses the line, but that they used what could have been a fun part of the crew. Also Ivy dating Kite-Man is not a direction I like; it's even presented as inexplicable in-show.

Act II Chapter 20
Great chapter! I love the thematic meaning behind the teddy bears being the best defense against Nightmare Moon, and of course, Nightmare Moon being unable to attack Pinkie. Compared to the previous version of this chapter you shared on Patreon, it's definitely much more clear that Pinkie's in denial. Poor ponk.
Also poor Ink. That nightmare really says a lot about her insecurities.
The sequence in the Dreamland was great, and very evocative of Silent Hill. Speaking of which,
"Much like the floor below, frightening drawings plastered the walls of the Dreamland's second floor—several of them were the same as downstairs, in fact, including the one with the timberwolves."

Got a YCH commission back. I should explain that someone on another Discord server bid in a YCH auction but then the artist put up another YCH auction he wanted more, so I stepped in to bid on the first. He was going to commission RariTwi, so I decided to go for something else. Knowing some here are fans of Sunset X Rarity, I went with that and got this art by AmrilOne.

Another cute video.
They made pretty detailed flowers. Pinkie has simple needs. She doesn't want to look at or save flowers. No, she just wants to jump in them, and can't even put the flowers back in a pile to jump again.
Fruits Basket is back, and to celebrate this show about people turning into animals, I streamed a FiM episode about animals turning into trees. It's still the best of the Pillar backstory episodes, an interesting look at Fluttershy, and possibly the most horrifying FiM episode.
Fruits Basket itself was a fairly unremarkable episode, focusing on the Yuki fanclub and some new characters, but still nice to see it back.
The She-Ra episode was pretty fun, with lots of mystery parodies, and hey, they finally figured out the spy thing! Same it was after it would have been helpful, but still.
The Owl House was a good and pretty story significant episode, featuring sakuga and an actual justification for Luz x Amity (after people started shipping it).
The first Sailor Moon episode was something I mixed up in my mind with an episode we skipped, that involved a monster that wasn't actually a monster. I think I only saw the beginning of this episode back then. In any case, it was fun, though the fake fighting didn't amount to anything.
With the last episode, we enter the final stages of the season. I'll be honest, Sailor Moon arc resolutions tend to be pretty bad, especially with how the other Sailor Guardians are useless, and you can see this here.
So for tomorrow's stream, we're watching Trolls: World Tour
What I know of the movie is that it's basically the Rainbow Rocks of Trolls. Except EQG had a higher baseline of quality. Also people on Twitter are shipping the hell out of Poppy and the villain, Barb.
