My Little Pony |OT| An adventure that never will end

SigmasonicX · Nov 7, 2020

Stream followup, we watched
1. Higurashi - 5 - Jealousy (Chapter: Cotton Drifting, Part 1)
2. Glitch Techs - 206 - Find the Glitch
3. DC Super Hero Girls - 22-23 - #Frenemies
4. Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts - 301 - Everything is Crabs

Higurashi reset the timeline back to when everyone is having friendly chibi interactions, and introduced Mion's shy sister Shion. I'm sure this timeline will be fine. The episode was fun enough, though leaned more into fanservice, which was annoying.

Glitch Techs ended up being a psuedo recap episode, appropriately enough. All the characters commented on, requested, and modified clips, which helped cover up the cost saving aspects of the story, and made it pretty fun.

DC Super Hero Girls introduced the villain girls group, well after they already appeared as a group, brought Harley Quinn to Metropolis, and gave everyone transformation sequences. It was a fun story.

Then we started Kipo again! This was largely set up, and with Kipo having regular access to a giant jaguar form, we now have kaiju battles.

It was kind of weird getting back to all these shows again after a long break.

Fluttershy Gets a Hello Pinkie Pie Episode, and Applejack Appears Too

They snuck new Hello Pinkie Pie episodes in the middle of one of their compilation videos.

Fluttershy episode

The random animals felt kind of familiar; they didn't look great regardless. Fluttershy's voice is alright. The story was fun.

Mane Six episode (introducing Applejack's voice)

Applejack and Rainbow got pretty into praising each other. This was cute.

Forgot to quote this earlier.

SigmasonicX said:
My Little Pony / Transformers #4 (FINAL)
And here we are, at the finale!

First of all, Applejack has to deal with an Insecticon infestation, but then Discord summons the entire Apple Family to help out in an Avengers moment. This was pretty good, though also didn't have much in the way of characterization.

And then the final story, with the big battle, complete with its own Avengers moment. The splash page for this was great (best part is Rarity driving Arcee into a Decepticon), and Twilight combined her magic with the Matrix of Leadership, but again, the chapter was light on characterization. It also felt a bit strange to bring in the Student Six and Cadance at this late point, but it isn't a big problem.

Really not too much to say. This miniseries was a lot of fun, and the biggest problems involve not getting more of it. Thankfully, the issue does end with some sequel baiting. Who knows if we'll get it, though.

Silver Quill's review mentions that he would have liked for the Decepticons to have gotten the upper hand at one point for this finale, to make them a bigger threat, but he's fully satisfied by this crossover.

If this series at all seems interesting to you, I definitely recommend checking it out.

Videos this time were celebration themed.

MLP ended with the pig that was turning everyone into glass suddenly reforming once she has to do it in person, and then her raptorian underlings are turned to glass. Then she destroys the cape that gave her this power, so I guess they're straight up dead.

I've mostly forgotten these OK KO episodes, but they were still good. The latter especially more so than I remembered.

Great Pretender started out with a Donald Trump stand in getting grifted. Timely! Then our protagonist once again finds that his entire life is getting manipulated, which felt more like a stretch this time.

Hilda had a great twist on the poltergeist trope, with the ghost being the one to clean everything up. However, this episode was a bit less on the fun side, what with the ending having the friends split up.

Sailor Moon S featured a lot of gayness, which was hilariously censored in the Cloverfield dub to be about Makoto/Lita just looking for a new best friend that's better than Usagi/Serena. I'm curious how close all the dialogue here was to the sub, since some of it felt a bit more modern than something you'd hear in the 90's, even in anime. I thought the monster of this episode was again less weirdly sexual than usual, but then she straight up ripped her clothes apart at the chest to expose her black heart. It was a good episode.

Yucie was alright. Not much to say here.

Stream followup, we watched
1. Higurashi - 6 - Takano (Cotton Drifting, Part 2)
2. Glitch Techs - 207 - The Real Glitch Techs
3a. DC Super Hero Girls - 24 - #SoulSisters Part 1
3b. DC Super Hero Girls - 25 - #SoulSisters Part 2
4. Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts - 302 - Code Word Milkshake

Higurashi shifted back to horror and mystery, with a bit more revealed about the town's god and how he doesn't exactly have a light history. Keiichi also continues to be a terrible liar, and needs to be more careful about phone calls (I assume). This seemed to have a better reception than last week's episode.

Glitch Techs introduced a rival group that makes straight up Ginyu Force poses, plus dabs, and it was fun.

DC Super Hero Girls introduced Katana, who works out with Diana, completely wrecks everyone, and yes, gets nerfed now that she's a good guy after this point. There was a pattern of the story's problem only being solved by the one focus girl, and this is the most obvious example of that. However, this was still a very fun story, particularly with the girls hiding the villain bodies (something she has a lot of experience with) and the silent library fight.

Kipo featured them finding Amelia's lab and rescuing her captives already, which was a surprise. It felt off that Kipo and the others just left, even if it was clear that the other humans weren't being won over by her. Also, K-Pop narwhals.

6. Petite Princess Yucie - 6 - Could It Be Him? The Encounter Comes Without Notice

DC Super Hero Girls shorts are back, now that Katana was introduced in normal episodes.

Fruits Basket featured the long-awaited parent-teacher conferences, leading to family drama, and it was good.

OK KO was a relatively weak set of episodes, especially the second, but still solid. The second episode's ending is really what makes it.

Great Pretender featured a bit more backstory hints, and more setup for the grift. I wonder if Abby winning the plane race against an experienced pilot was legitimate skill or part of the grift.

Hilda escalated things with an actual villain and Hilda knocked all the way back to where she started the show off, making for an interesting episode.

Sailor Moon was a good Ami focus episode, though given that, it was odd that she didn't play a part in defeating the monster. I was thinking that Ami and Mamoru's interactions were a bit romantic in the early part of the episode, so I was surprised they actually leaned into that at the end with Usagi getting jealous.

Yucie introduced a super 90's/00's love interest that Yucie hates for now and he's a jerk to her. He just felt like a jerk to me. It was odd how the episode started with a horror theme but then completely dropped it.

1. Weathering With You

Finally getting around to this movie!

SigmasonicX · Nov 19, 2020

Stream followup, we watched
1. Weathering With You

This was a gorgeous film, and I thought the more dirty and low-class focus of the story was interesting, but it just didn't feel as polished a story as Your Name. I will give it kudos for sticking to a semi-apocalyptic ending, giving a real cost to Hodaka rescuing Hina, though others in the stream didn't like this aspect as much.

The McDonald's product placement at the start was odd, with a Big Mac saving the day (eeyup), but the product placement in general dropped off after that point. The Your Name cameos were neat, though with the ending, I imagine this isn't really the same continuity; or at least it branched at the successful rescue.

I feel like the story would have worked better if Hodaka was an immigrant rather than a runaway from another part of Japan; there is plenty of illegal immigration in Japan too.

Friendship is Magic #91
Part 3 is finally here! This mainly served to showcase the abada characters, who didn't get much focus before. Biggest surprise is that Dust Devil is nonbinary, a first for G4.

This was a good issue, though there isn't much to say, really. It's them coming across problem after problem that's solved by a different focus character, like the second episode. Then it ends with a surprise, but we'll have to wait until the next issue for what it all means.

There was a song sequence that was cute, though I couldn't figure out how it would sound. Also, Tempest the hypocrite doesn't like songs.

Silver Quill's review doesn't have much else to add. I was reminded of the oddity of a roc appearing with a completely different design than what we saw in the show (and with the ability to talk), but imagine it's just a regional difference.

Overall, good issue.

Higurashi included the expected twist that Keiichi was talking to Mion and not Shion, but what surprised me is that Shion was straight up gone and how long Mion was pretending to be her.

Glitch Techs had some great dance battling, and also had the other Glitch Techs team return way sooner than I expected.

DC Super Hero Girls introduced Dex-Starr the Red Lantern Kitty; I was a bit disappointed that the other stream watchers already recognized him, and thus the twist didn't surprise them. Both episodes were good.

Kipo reintroduced Wolf's adopted sister, so I guess that means she didn't kill her. I wondered if Wolf killed anyone, but it seems like she killed the wolf parents from some of the dialogue; I was confused because the wolf sister didn't seem that upset at Wolf. Odd dog sizes and the incredibly obvious trap that everyone in the stream saw coming aside, it was a good episode.

Fruits Basket featured side quests distracted by side quests, more family drama, and Tohru giving a dramatic speech to give a guy her friend's phone number. It was good.

OK KO was another fun set of episodes, and introduced Rad's more sensitive side.

Great Pretender continued the con, though they really should just start telling Edamura what's going on.

Hilda had two fun core concepts, with a giant capturing her and then a wish-granting house.

Despite the craziness with the villain design, Sailor Moon was actually on the weak end for the season so far, but it was still good.

We actually caught up to the DC Super Hero Girl shorts!

Yucie was actually a really well-animated episode, much better than the previous ones. It was fun, and also introduced Satan.

1. Over the Moon

I thought this was overall a pretty good movie, and other people in the stream enjoyed it too. The section in the middle with the contest to find the gift was definitely the weakest part, though, and the story was handled oddly there. In particular, I think it would have made more sense to introduce the green animal sidekick when they first crashed on the moon, rather than having them find him when they go back to the crash site. Also, I'm not clear on how Fei Fei got half of the charm in her moon cake. The two showcase songs were good, and I liked the sections dealing with loss and Fei Fei's family life.

We end another Higurashi arc, and we learn more than I expected for this early in the show. Though god, Keiichi is an idiot. Yes, go walk alone with the girl who admitted to killing your friends, and follow her into a hidden chamber full of torture devices. That will turn out well. Still, it was an interesting episode.

Glitch Techs showed Mitch's family, and it was a fun episode. It's weird how Miko and Five wouldn't know about Mitch having streamed with his family before, when they were huge fans of him in the first episode, though.

DC Super Hero Girls had a good set of episodes. The first was a Flashpoint parody, that at first seemed to be settling at a certain level of craziness, but then going further beyond in the last minutes. The second played around with the concept of Power Girl and her nature as an alternate reality version of Supergirl.

Kipo featured a tragic ending as one character, Yum-yun, is actually hit by the mute cure. Mulholland also got put on a bus, to address how OP he is as a good guy. Song figured out how to communicate with Kipo, at least. It was a good episode, though even with all the practice runs, I really feel Kipo could have handled the rescue better.

Decided to go with no YouTube videos between episodes, since I didn't have time to find them, but I think this showed they're necessary.

The first video was a nice animation.

Fruits Basket was an alright episode. I got it mixed up with the next one when giving trigger warnings before it started.

I somehow forgot about the first OK KO episode, despite the hilariously creepy CG models. Both episodes were good, and better than I remembered.

Great Pretender featured some backstory for Abby, and the grift progressing. It was a good episode.

Hilda set things up for the season finale, but before that, it had the great concept of the nisse traveling to the room made up of all the hard-to-reach unused space in a house. Also, Frida is hanging out with the nightmare spirits for some mysterious reason! Good episode.

Sailor Moon S was a fun dumb episode, with Yuichiro returning after a long absence to do dumb stuff. I just had to see how the Cloverway dub handled all this. Yuichiro (Chad) is upset that Rei is listening to Haruka (Amara) when she tells her to get some rest. He doesn't confuse her for a guy. They left in Haruka (Amara) and Michiru (Michelle) getting really close, but now the reason Yuichiro (Chad) is upset is because they're saying really suspicious things and he thinks that means Amara is being sneaky. Amara commenting on how ridiculous she and Chad fighting is makes even more sense in this dub. Chad saying he's going to run away to put a blues band together is a great dub addition, though. Plus Amara's reaction. "Huh? ... Bye." Not sure if the TV airing had this Japanese insert song still. I feel like it wouldn't.

Petite Princess Yucie revealed that Cocoloo is actually a spirit princess. Other than that, it was a fairly dull episode.

Had some issues with the stream, which resulted in airing things out of order.

DC Super Hero Girls had fun episodes. The latter had a pretty obscure villain, after after looking up The Cavalier, one stream watcher commented that the comic version is even doofier than the one in the episode.

The Glitch Techs finale unfortunately ended things with a new story development, showing that the sketchy Hinobi company is sketchy, and we likely won't get any followup for it.

The crew have been posting about what would have happened in season 3, which was fully storyboarded and voiced. There was going to be a TMNT crossover!

https://twitter.com/DanMilano/status/1315008602294251522

Higurashi started another loop, with more goofiness to begin with. There was also a guy that said seemingly pedo stuff but I guess the joke was that he just meant he was interested in adopting her. I was surprised that Keiichi already knew stuff like Shion existing and about the previous deaths.

Kipo featured her mother, Song, turning back into a human, which some thought happened too easily and there had to be a catch. However, if the villains' cure wasn't effective, then that would remove the threat to Kipo. After that, we got some fun family bonding and dancing, and a cat hunt, but it cut between them awkwardly.

I'll have to adjust how I handle streams after two ones with problems in a row.

Fruits Basket featured a lot of bad parents and even defenestration. It was a good episode for bad feels.

OK KO introduced Prof. Venomous and Fink, who'll go on to become recurring characters, and featured a bit more backstory for KO's mom. The first was a bit on the dull side, but the episodes were good.

Great Pretender ended another grift. There was some confusion over what was the intended plan and what was the backup, but it was a good.

The Hilda season 1 finale came and it had some inventive chases through portals with a big dog. It did feel like things just stopped, rather than a real end to a season, though.

We're at Sailor Moon's 100th episode! It was a nice episode, focusing on Minako, and featuring volleyball and a volleyball-boobed monster.

Yucie introduced another main character at last, and also had the oft-shared sequence of Satan at the school. It was good.

I haven't watched this in a while. It's a decent movie with a pretty interesting concept and fun set pieces. People in the stream noted that it's a bit strange that Dreamworks never made a series for this like Kung Fu Panda and other series, or made a sequel. However, the movie just doesn't have that spark to make it a really great story. Also, the Tooth Fairy herself doesn't do much.

Glad Jack was able to find Elsa later.

4. Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts - 306 - It's a Trap

Higurashi started off heavy with a story about child abuse, leading to Keiichi calling a hit, but then there may be more to this than it seems.

Things lightened up of course with Green Eggs and Ham. As you might expect, the premise is expanded greatly. What I hadn't realized is that there's an overarching story, with a stolen zoo animal and criminals, and Sam I Am being a ninja. It was pretty fun, and all the hand drawn animation was great. Also, there were a lot of celebrity guest stars.

DC Super Hero Girls was a two parter (length of a normal episode total) featuring Lex Luthor, whose design people in the stream found odd, with him looking too youthful. It was a fun story, with a hilariously botched heist and playing around with destiny.

Kipo confirmed that Kipo's plan wasn't actually that great and lots of her friends got cured, turning back into cute normal animals. It was a bit frustrating in that regard, but still good.

Fruits Basket featured more exploration of Tohru being Mom Jesus, with even Rin coming around to the idea.

OK KO first featured some backstory development, though still no answer to what's with that sandwich, and it was a lot of fun. Second episode seemed to be progressing normally, but then surprise! It's really a story about racism! It was good too.

Great Pretender started a new arc, in a bit of a different way. They completely botched a grift, and they didn't like the guy they failed to grift anyway, so they're going to do a bigger and better grift. It was a good episode.

The two Sailor Moon episodes formed a single story, and they were good. A villain boss died, Tuxedo Mask is still useful, and there were some great gags, like Sailor Venus imitating Sailor Moon.

The Yucie episode featured the love interest guy returning, and hinting at something more going on in the story. Yucie and that guy got along better this time, which was nice.

Anyway, I personally feel this MST3K episode is way funnier than its more famous cousin, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. This movie is just so much weirder, and offers a lot of entertainment beyond the quips. From the strange interpretation of what Santa's home is like to the fact that his opponent is a devil. Skits are weaker than in the Martians episode, but are still pretty solid.

I'd noticed that fewer people have been attending the Thursday stream specifically, but there doesn't seem to be a good solution to that.

Higurashi featured Keiichi being driven to murder and hiding the body despite messing up a lot, but still being found out. Not the direction I expected for this timeline, but interesting.

Green Eggs and Ham continued going in an unexpected direction for this adaptation, but it's fun, and the animation remains impressive.

DC Super Hero Girls started with a horror themed episode, with Poison Ivy as the monster and straight up trying to kill her classmates, which I feel like the episode kind of glosses over. It was well done. The second episode featured Slade / Deathstroke, his daughter, Rose Wilson, and an awkward home dinner with Barbara. It was a great episode.

Kipo unexpectedly featured some light being shed on what happened 200 years ago, though not much. We did get Dave and Benson backstory, though. It's weird that an electric fan lasted for hundreds of years, but otherwise, good episode.

Trixie loves spending time with Starlight, but sometimes she has to share her. It gets annoying when the blandest mare in existence is always tagging along.

This was a nice sweet story. Good job!

Not quite an MLP fic, but it's an MLP fic with the serial numbers filed off.

The Wild Hunt by UndomeTinwe
An old evil returns to torment the kingdom, and a young princess discovers that not all is as it seems.

Great job on this story. It reminds me of that one meme about the ancient evil that's actually super progressive by our standards. I've mentioned before what benefits originalifying what's clearly an MLP story can bring, and in this case, it adds an air of mystery, because we don't quite know what the intentions of the Wild Hunt will be, even if we know this is basically just a RariTwi story.

Though I must confess I'm unsure what MLP character this Queen Celeste is based off of. Nothing about her rings a bell.

This was a really sweet story, and the characters were all written well. Great job!

Take some time to rest and behold the splendor of love.

Very sweet and beautiful poetry—and that's what this is. Though I did have the issue that it was difficult to read the prose in some of the respective characters' voices, since they used words and phrasings the characters wouldn't. Particularly Rainbow and Pinkie. You could say this is what they'd say if they were more poetic, I suppose.

Fruits Basket set up a new story arc with a school play—an oddly-cast Cinderella—and also set things up for an extended Yuki flashback next time. Other than that, it was a pretty standard episode.

OK KO first introduced Elodie, Enid's old friend who betrayed her and is also a Rarity. She has a nice character arc later in the show, so I was surprised by how unambiguous the betrayal was here. The second episode featured a prom and Rad learning he doesn't have to follow a checklist in an oddly Twilight story. Both episodes were great.

Great Pretender set up the new grift, and also backstory for Cynthia. It was a fine episode.

We returned to Hilda with season 2, and things went right back into the adventure, with some fun sequences. Oddly, Hilda goes most of the episode without her beret.

Sailor Moon S had good animation and some great gags, particularly the other girls hiding from Rei as she peeks around a waitress looking for them. Also, Chibiusa returns! In the manga, she returned immediately after she left, so the anime greatly delayed this.

Yucie was a pretty standard beach episode, complete with a girl that may or may not be a mermaid. It was alright.

YouTube videos were "care" and "prom" themed. There were surprisingly only two songs with "prom" in the name that PMVs used.

The Enchanted Kingdom Finished => The Enchanted Trilogy Announcement

Hi everyone! So I marked TEK as finished. The reason I did this is because I've realized I was struggling a lot with the series and with writing for it, and after a brutally honest sit down and reflection on whether I was done with MLP or what, I realized that my issue with continuing TEK is...

www.fimfiction.net

The Enchanted Kingdom is officially over, with the remaining story instead moving to a new upcoming fic. For the record, I'm the one who suggested ending TEK and making a third fic.

Yakyakistan is a cold place, and Scootaloo is starting to find that the chill is cutting deeper than she expected.

Oh wow. :O

I'm way behind on actually reading it at this point, but the tone of her blog posts over the last several months has definitely been that of a struggling author. Glad to hear she's found new drive.

Higurashi went in another unexpected direction, with a doppelganger of Keiichi having participated in the festival while he was off murdering, and his victim is supposedly still alive. I wonder if this is normal for those that are driven to murder around the festival. Also a surprise, if I hadn't looked at Wikipedia to get the episode title for listings, is that this loop doesn't end on episode 4. It was a good episode.

Green Eggs and Ham featured romance, and it was actually pretty cute. Also had a train with loops in the track. I will say Sam is going a bit too far with his recklessness, but otherwise, it's a good episode.

DC Super Hero Girls had a double dose of Zatara episodes, and both were good. The former definitely was reminiscent of the MLP episode "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?", particularly during the dream hopping sequence. The second episode was a bit weak at the resolution, though.

Kipo was a bit of a surprise with it introducing a new one-off faction with the squirrels, which is the first time this has happened in a while. It was a fun episode.

March comic solicitations

Friendship is Magic #96

(W) Jeremy Whitley (A) Tony Fleecs (CA) JustaSuta

Twilight Sparkle has sent our favorite fillies on a journey of outreach all over Equestria! But when Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Trixie, Discord, and Capper visit Abyssinia, their trip turns sour fast-they weren't supposed to end up in jail! Good thing Capper's old friends are pretty good cat burglars...

Oh hey, looks like we're revisiting Capper's friend from the Movie prequel comics after all.

2021 Annual Special

(W) Jeremy Whitley (A/CA) Brianna Garcia

Twilight Sparkle's mission to find friendship in all corners of Equestria has taken Rarity, Mage Meadowbrook,Maud, and Big McIntosh to the Kingdom of the Diamond Dogs! But instead of friendship, they find a feud! Can they figure out how to fix the fractured bond between six sisters?

Surprised to see a "canon" story to the season 10 story arc be covered in an annual special. Also, way different Diamond Dogs here.

I took part in an OC adoptable auction on a whim (though after other people confirmed the OC was cute), and I suppose I have a pony OC now. Meet Fate Trail!

The auction mentioned I was free to change the gender and everything else about Fate, and I was thinking it made sense to make my OC male, but I also didn't want to change their appearance much. So I decided Fate will be male but look the same, making him an stallion with a feminine appearance.

Fruits Basket featured Yuki backstory, showing that Akito used to be better but got worse at some point. Also revealed that Yuki sees Tohru as a mother, which got a lot of, "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," from the stream watchers.

OK KO had its first two-parter. I misremembered things from the second encounter with Shadowy Figure as being in this episode, and I also forgot a lot of what happened. It was good.

Great Pretender continued the grift, just building things up to the end next episode. It was good.

Hilda had a fun ghost pirate adventure, including a ghost ship chase through the town.

The Sailor Moon S episode had not one, but two instances of characters streaking or stripping. I wonder how the first dub handled this, plus the crossdressing character, but not enough to check right now. With the latter, I assume they just made him a girl. It was a weird, but funny episode.

Yucie revealed another god to attack and dethrone. I wasn't a huge fan of Elmina being so much better at everything than everyone, but it was a fun episode.
