SO, PONIES.

Have we guessed anything about this next episode? Maybe what the other dragons will be like?

Oh man, 2 in a row.

I dunno, you watch some of the older movies like Citizen Kane, My Man Godfrey... they had more meaning than some books Ive read.

Cant think of too many modern examples though

Smooth Jazz Luna

So, a hard back Fallout Equestria is going to be ready soon apparently.

I'm still somewhat want a dragon greaser-jock fight because of what was said earlier...

damn.

Inception.

But back to ponies, look like we will see teenage dragons next ep. I wonder if we'll understand how dragons age. It seems like a Quest For Identitity for Spike so I'm wondering how the show will pull that off?

@Bad ...

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGG- GHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Badwolf: Wait, what? ''Where?' Is the author going to do some clean-up for it? Because that would be totally awesome.

@crow The Outsiders?

@Rhyme I wonder if they'll look like Spike in "Secret of My Excess". That design looked a bit odd to me for some reason, so hopefully they have a new one.

Oof. That's just bad timing, Ginger...

oh oh.....we broke Ginger.

it's ok Ginger, maybe it won't be available outside the states...you still wouldn't have had a chance to get it......

Yea if they do a hardback FOE.. I would really hope that they get a good editor to clean it up.

AND IT MUST HAVE ARTWORK!!!

Hallo everyone, back from the clinic. Just a checkup, everything is fine

So what are we talking about now?

The jock-greaser dragon fight will be glorious. Even better? Mods and Greasers.

There's a link in this. I don't have Facebook so I can't actually look at it.

@sky Someone was wondering whether some of the dragons would be more like greasers or jocks, then...well...

@Light Hardback Fallout Equestria and Dragon Greaser-Jock fights...

... I'm crying

£300. £300!!!

In other news, my prediction was correct! A while back, I predicted we'd reach 125k posts on March 14th, and we did. Now, time to see if my prediction of March 19th for overtaking ITT : We Are Our Avatars High School AU, V2 will hold as well.

What about fantasy fiction in the pony world? Or even fiction in general. What kind of topics or genres would pony authors write about? I know they have adventure stories, but I would assume they have other types as well. They probably have romance novels, given the kind of expectations Rarity had at the Gala.

A hardback of Fallout Equestria?

For fucking serious?!

EDIT:Nevermind.

So we need to explain why Madoka is fun while avoiding discussion of the series themes or meanings?

(Also I find it a bit weird to see a brony complaining about people stating a case for a show...)

I'm a bit confused by this, most shows have some kind of meaning, which generally take a backseat to entertaining the audience. Too much meaning will turn a viewer off that's true, but whats wrong with a lot of meaning, if the show itself is fun? I mean MLP: Fi M's overall meaning and theme is friendship, which pretty much surrounds most of the shows storylines, though it's a kids show - so people don't hammer the meaning too hard (because the Friendship Reports at the end generally cover the whole "Explain what we learned" aspect)

If you distil Madoka down, it's an anime that takes the usual sugary-sweet content of the average Magical Girl show and makes it something darker. It's basically a huge parody, with some really smart ideas. It only has 13 episodes to convey it's story, so the focus is on the ongoing storyline, with character development where it's needed. Yes this means maybe the Characters do not become as much beloved by people, but it's maybe better that way in this case.

I suppose that sort of thing isn't for everyone, it's very much a philsophical kind of anime - in the sense that it looks at the possible catch 22's of a reality that doesn't even exist and what someone might do in that kind of situation. If you want anime with more Character and less meaning, maybe Nanoha would be more your sort of thing?

@ Emidawg: It says there's going to be artwork!

I need to get to a different computer now to check out the facebook page.

That can't be legal.
