The worst thing was seeing all the mass appeals and just not caring.

Really, comapred to just about every other fandom or hell any group of people, Bronies have been by far the calmest and most rational. Sure some get PO'ed about stuff, but on the whole it's been handled very calmly and coolly, hell even curing the few really bad incednets, I saw more people upset at people for being pissed then people actaully pissed.

I am still impressed that despite the mean side of the fandom comes out occassionally, pony fandom tends to be more moderate and downright sane and friendly compared to other fandoms despite, may because of, our imageboard origin heritage.

Hasbro'd be foalish not to FUND EEET when it comes to Season Three.

@ Chad 3 is confrimed for at least 13 episodes, but there have been hints at more, just nothing concrete or official.

That wasn't entirely true tho. There's some posts about that on EQ Daily, someone was trollin' hard.

Best evidence is that about 2 weeks ago a screen writer (forget her name but she is an actual established TV script writer) Tweeted that she had recently been hired to write for MLP, well after all 13 episodes would have been written if that was all they were making.

I once saw a religion discussion in one of the eqd nightly roundups that was one of the sanest discussions of the topic I've seen in any comments section anywhere on the web (Admittedly that's a low bar). And it was all to do with some video where some more...outspoken Christians basically called MLP evil for some reason. The fact that it didn't just degenerate into something stupid and embarrassing was pretty astounding.

Yes, we have more fights nowadays, but honestly, this is a nice band of people to be a part of.

Oh, a new clip. Must watch.

How profitable is FIM, actually? Popularity doesn't necessarily equal profit.

In the past decade or so, anime took off in a huge way in America, but nearly all of the companies responsible for localizing anime have gone out of business, cause people just don't pay for anime.

MLP is different since it has a lot of merchandise, of course, but I haven't really heard anything that makes it clear whether or not they're actually doing well financially.

And it was all to do with some video where some more...outspoken Christians basically called MLP evil for some reason.

Sigh, I am ashamed of my people sometimes.

Pony toy sales have improved quite significantly, with every sign the new G4.5 toyline will be devoured by bronies when it hits the States. I myself will try to camp for a number of the new ponies :D

Well, Netflix has to pay in order to show their episodes, and it's extremely popular there. So there's that angle.

and the fact that the Box set they are releasing in Austrailia is already one of the topped best selling DVD lists there within a week.

not mention they HAVE to see how much people are willing to pay for the plushies and other E-Bay stuff and know they can come up with a way to get some of that.

Then Celestia only knows how much they are making off iTunes sales

They're just messing with detective story conventions all up in that clip aren't they?

I still don't understand how Australia got a box set before America did. It make no freaking sense!

So they are doing well, awesome. What did you mean by 4.5, though? Friendship Is Magic is 4.0, right, so what would the .5 signify?

[down]MLP is an American franchise.

The only thing that would be holding back Hasbro from making MASSIVE cash off this is the limited amount of merchandise they are putting out. Lets see how fast the new Toy R Us exclusives sell out. Know I'll be grabbing them soon as I can..as long as I can buy them online at least.

It could be worse, you could live here and get jack diddly squat (without importing). We can't even use iTunes to download episodes because of copyright issues. Rackum Frackum.

[up][up][up][up] Since it was the country of origin I suppose. Europe needs a ton of localisation as well due to all the languages.
