Nah, they're preparing for the inevitable flock of new adolescent My Littlest Pet Shop fans.

Or Pet Heads as they're going to be called.

That Rainbow Dash confuses me. O_O

Insert something witty that makes me better than all of you, here.

Speaking of Littlest Pet Shop, I watched an episode out of curiosity.

I think that I will watch another.

There's no need to sharpen my pencils anymore. My pencils are sharp enough.

Even the dull ones will leave a mark.

Random wondering regarding Canterlot Wedding.

I think something like this could have happened off-screen.

One or two of the guards captures a changeling and brings it to their superior. Then the superior bring them to a quiet place, asking them if they told warned anyone else. The guards say no, and then the superior kills both of them and reveals that he was a changeling as well, while presumably saying something like "Good. That's one less loose end."

No heroes, no villains, only people.

So how is Littlest Pet Shop doing?

You're thinking of the guy from The Matrix aren't you? Morpheus is the god of dreams in Greek Mythology.

Great, now I've got an image stuck in my head of Luna wearing sunglasses offering me a red or blue pill.

Financially I cannot say. I can say that from the two episodes and a bit I saw that it's... okay. Nothing great, but okay. The plots of the non-pilot episodes I saw were pretty transparent from the bits I saw, and considering I don't tend to think of MLP's plots as being that predictable despite many people saying they are, that may be saying something.

Probably better than the image of her looming over you with bad hair and a swoopy robe.

Littlest Pet Shop. Watched the pilot episodes.

Suddenly the MLP pilots look like masterpieces.

#315963 Irish Zombie Wed, 12th Dec '12 7:02:22 PM from Texas

You see, the way you described that, it sounded like Luna's a bit sleep-deprived.

Reverse PMV Idea: An SFM animation about Half-Life set to the Living Tombstone's remix of Discord. Hey, the Homestucks did it! Besides, I see a lot of parallels that could be used:

I'm not a fan of puppeteers: Headcrab zombies
Someone else is pulling at the strings: The G-Man
Through the entire town: City 17
Wreaking anarchy and all it brings: The rebels fighting against the Combine
No, I can't move at all: Barnacles
I curse...behind it all: The HECU Marines' hatred of Gordon Freeman
Sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon: Gordon being put into cryosleep
Whatever...take our world away: The Xenites running from the Combine
Are we your prey alone: The G-Man's cryptic and unclear motives
We won't take it anymore...away: Once again, rebellion
Now the world is being torn apart: The series of events that take place after the Resonance Cascade

That's pretty much how I would describe the first 8 or 9 episodes of MLP so maybe it'll pick up. That's one thing I've noticed in Western Animation, they always seem to have a weird period of less good episodes before they hit their stride. Anime by comparison tends to be more consistent in quality; unfortunately in many many cases that means they are consistently terrible.

I haven't really noticed that. But if true, do you think it's a difference in buisness practices?

#315969 Bluespade Wed, 12th Dec '12 7:22:00 PM from Fort Worth, Texas

Idk, really. It might be cause almost all anime tends to be adaptions rather than original stories.

#315970 Japanese Teeth Wed, 12th Dec '12 7:23:08 PM from Meinong's jungle

@Blue: I'd debate that the first chunk of episodes are all that bad, but I think the general trend is understandable. It might take a few development cycles to figure out exactly how to make things work the best.

Oh I'm not saying they're bad. I wouldn't have kept watching if I wasn't entertained.

But I still consider them noticeably less polished than the rest of the series. Even with Avatar The Last Airbender, which I feel comes pretty close to being a perfect animated kid's show, was noticeably less good for the first 6 or 7 episodes.

@Irish: Well, form what I've seen that pretty accurately describes Dream of the Endless, so...

god He has a cool title. I really need to find an excuse to use the titles I made up for the princesses: Brilliant-She-of-Shining-Sun and Beautiful-She-of-Cool-Moon. I do so love fancy title-names.

#315973 Psi 001 Wed, 12th Dec '12 7:29:55 PM

It often depends whether fans prefered the Early Installment Weirdness or not.

That said some of my fave episodes are from the early points of the show. The animation is one thing that is cruder, but still not significantly, just it has less polish that recent episodes do.

Yeah. I just recently finished reading the first volume of that comic, and every time I saw him I thought that he was the one who needed sleep.

Is it good(He says, knowing full well it's written by Neil Gaimen)? I've been considering looking into it as well.
