We have ana amazing festivity here (Valencia in Spain) called Fallas were we burn giant and awesome monuments the night of the 19th. Just finished two hours ago, that our winter wrap up lol.
Llama Pinkie? I hope so!
Im in exactly the same opinion with this. If thigns like discord and twilight princess (no pun intended) turn great in the 4th season, I will be very happy with it. And it would be awesome if we had teacher twilight like in the comics, I wouldnt mind a bit that direction.I would agree there were pacing issue sin many episodes of S3, but I still enjoyed it.
I like that they gave soft endings to all the characters that would have made appropriate stopping points had the series ended.
I still say the route they went with Discord worked fine. I really didn't mind the ending, and didn't really see it as a pacing issue. Discord was a self centered person, I think it's much more appropriate for him to be suddenly hit with losing his only friend than a gradual change over an episode. It seems more in tune with his character. And as I've said before, reforming him was the only way they could have gone with the character. They can't just bring him back to steal the elements and get turned to stone at the end again, and again.
As for Twilight, there are many roads they can do down now that she's a Princess. They can move her to a more supporting role like the other Princesses. Have her open up a magic school in Ponyville.
Ultimately though, they don't really need to do much. She's still Celestia's student. She still has a lot to learn.
As an Australian, could someone clear up which months Winter covers in the US?
I really wish we could all just use the quarter system. Everyone wins!
December to March.

eh, at this point season 4 needs all the time it can get so this doesn't bother me in the slightest.
eh, oh well, not really excited for it anyway.
what you were saying about the soft ending for the characters, S3 did feel like the end.
it totally felt like the end of the show, we hit 65 eps, Scoots finally became RDs sister, Dash got into the Wonderbolts Academy, Discord was redeemed, and then Twi became an Alicorn.
it was like, they didnt know if they were getting cancelled, so they had to leave everything open for a potential S4 while still giving closure to a lot of plot threads just in case they got shut down.
and now because of it being renewed, S4 is gonna be strange. they have a lot new things to work with, plot elements that need elaborated on, not to mention a new main character possibly.
i await S4 with curiosity and hope, but im fully prepared for it to be complete garbage.
We have more than one Aussie in this thread =o

Regarding S4, I like the episodes in S3 as much as those in S2 on average. So if the quality doesn't drop in S4 and we get 26 episodes as rumoured, I'll be a happy brony.
Represent!
Unless I'm misunderstanding you, they sure are. For example, We're in Autumn here right now, and our Winter comes after that (June/July-ish).
i know your in a different season, but i thought they were measured the same as ours.
Seasons are measured by how hot/cold it is. Each country has their own system, based on the weather, even America, which can have heat waves on the same day when it has blizzards.
You'd think they would adopt a system centered on the summer/winter solstices, and let people figure out for themselves how their towns deviate from the norm, but you've seen how hard it is to get people to use the metric system. Now try telling someone it's technically summer when they're not wearing shorts yet.
our system is like, this date is when a season starts, every year its the same, and its always like that no matter the weather.
so everyone else is like, if its hot, its still summer? so summer can be like 11 months long or something?
I don't think our seasons match seasons overseas in any significant way (except being in the same rotation). For example, our January is blazing hot and it lies in our Summer months, whereas, as I understand it, January in the US lies in Winter and is cold accordingly.
Also, all of this.
Nope, our seasons are fixed liked yours. They just occur at different times of year to the US. That's why I always struggle when an announcement references an American season, because the months and seasons match up differently overseas (like here in Australia, for example).
Your local weather is what was used to set the start points. Once set, you can keep them for centuries. Unless global warming or something.
This should put some (irrational) fears to rest:
Yeah, because she's been so trustworthy in the past.

If I had to guess, I'd say that the Rarity story probably got bumped to S4 as a result of the short season. Doesn't make sense to think she'd tweet about a story if it wasn't something they genuinely had planned.
At the risk of earning groans from the community, I really like her mane. Seriously, it's neat.

Someone actively trying to keep spoilers from people? Wow, how shocking.
That was posted less than a month before the premier of the season. She certainly would have known what season 3 was going to be like by that time.
This should put some (irrational) fears to rest:
Season 4 is already in the works. It was probably too late to entirely remove Twilight from the show and replace her with Sunset Shimmer.
Actually, it's still not too late. I mean, they removed Derpy. It's computer-animated. All they have to do is delete Twilight's model, replace her with Sunset's, and splice some dialog lines. Even Friendship is Witchcraft can do that much.
But it's probably too late for them to do a really good job. I mean, Twi's probably going to fly around and show off her new wings, and Sunset has magic, so I'm sure they can find a way to make her fly, but it would be pushing things. They probably just asked for permission to push the Twipocalypse off to season 5.
Season 5 will be all about Twi getting sidelined (before the opening music of the first episode), while Sunset uses her special power to open a magical pathway to the Masked Kingdom, and leads the Mane 5 there on a season-long exploration mission.
It's weird though, right? I mean, why lie? It wasn't even as if someone asked her a question, she just came out and announced it. What does she have to gain by making stuff up when people are going to find out in a matter of weeks?
I'm certain there's more than meets the eye with that tweet, most likely behind-the-scenes shenanigans.

My min days in New Zealand, it's pretty much a lackadaisical start of certain months like Spring being September, Winter being June. Something like that.
Sweetie Bot is literally the only thing I found funny about previous episodes everything else seemed painfully uninspired and unfunny.
So if EqD is to be believed, this the Japanese ending theme for MLP:

It's true. Op/ed songs are just being used for cd ads. Pinkie va in japan has a5 debut album in 2 weeks and the b side song is going to be used as the mlp op. The songs will probably change each season. Or maybe even twice a season.

Open it then refresh it.
Me neither, but if I go to famitsu.com, there's a story on the front page with ponies, and if I click on that, then it works, even though it has the exact same URL. Probably just some anti-direct-linking tech.
Basically, it just seems to be a news story about the Japanese-dubbed MLP:FIM airing on TV in Japan.

Edit:
The big white guy in the middle is obviously Twilight's new VA.
He could be Spiku, and MLP Nippon becomes an overdubbed adult oriented laugh track comedy...but no...
"Rarity..I.."/Charlton Heston voice
Nah, he's posing between the VA's for RD, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rarity, all of whom are holding their respective Pony toys, and he's holding a Twilight Sparkle toy.
Spike is most likely this grumpy-faced Japanese guy.

Spike is being voiced by the woman who did Syaoran's voice in Card Captor Sakura.
