Regardless, I don't think I'll re-follow that tumblr. I expect that this sort of thing will happen again.

I don't usually post foreign dub compilations anymore, but holy shit, that Ukrainian dub at the end of this "Make a Wish" compilation. I forgot that dub did that.

And cute art

 

[SigmasonicX]

Oh hey, Mane6 finally announced the name of their IP-stripped Fighting is Magic! It's...

...

Doesn't exactly flow off the tongue, but I guess it's copyrightable.

EDIT: Oh, there's already a thread.

 

[PaulloDEC]

Not sure why I did this, but here it is anyway. Tracking the top 20 posters from OT1 to OT3.

Not very scientific given this OT is still in progress, but whatcha gonna do.

OT 1

Continuing on: 7
Not continuing on: 13
New arrivals: 20 (all)

OT 2

Continuing on: 10
Not continuing on: 10
New arrivals: 13

OT 3

Continuing on: Unknown
Not continuing on: Unknown
New arrivals: 10

• Only five top-20 posters from the first OT are still top-20 posters in the third: DrForester, Owlowiscious, Slamtastic, Orcastar and Myke Greywolf.

• Half of those who continued on from OT2 into OT3 are new arrivals ($200, PaulloDEC, Cheerilee, brian577 and Rhomega Beta), while the other half are the five who carried over from OT1 into OT2 (DrForester, Owlowiscious, Slamtastic, Orcastar and Myke Greywolf.)

so what did you guys talk about during the hiatus anyway?

Well, the IDW comics have still been going on, and recently there have been the Equestria Girls: Friendship Games shorts. Plus, some previews and fan projects will pop up every once in a while. All things considered, it hasn't been too bad.

I see. my mlp outside of the show has pretty much been reduced to fimfiction and /mlp/ cyoas, neither of which ever seemed to be particularly worthwhile topics here. still love all you guys. <3

Babylon 5, mostly.

I assume red line means banned but what does gold star mean?

 

[DrForester]

I assume red line means banned but what does gold star mean?

I think it mean "new to the list."

 

[Pandaman]

red line means did not appear on the next top 20 list.

 

[PaulloDEC]

DrForester and Pandaman are correct, red lines indicate they didn't appear in the next top-20 (for whatever reason, sometimes bans I guess!) and gold star indicate new arrivals in the top-20.

 

[McNum]

I actually thought I had been more active in the first two threads, especially the second one, but apparently not. Been part of PonyGAF nearly since it began to call itself that.

I did feel kinda bad that vets from the earliest thread who just missed out on the top-20 might be being portrayed as newbies later on, but top-20 data was all I could find unfortunately.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks.

(I assume ban because anytime someone posts hundreds or thousands of times in one thread, the only way I assume they stop is if they are banned lol)

I'll never make the Top 20, but I do enjoy visiting this thread (and the ones before it) every now and then.

It's nice having regulars here, but its great to see some less frequent posters pop in now and then too.

I'm not sure being a top-20 poster is even such a great thing anyway, ha.

 

[draetenth]

I think many people have just moved on.

I don't know why but this kind of bums me out...

 

[SigmasonicX]

When I was searching for previous Magic the Gathering OTs, I came across the previous season OTs and was startled to find just how many more posts were in them than the season 5 OT, even just looking at the halfway point of the 26-episodes seasons. It is unfortunate, but there are definitely far less people discussing the show now.

 

[Crocodile]

I came across this cool fanart and I wanted to share it. I'd post it in the SU thread, a show I actually follow, but the last time something MLP came up in there things got kind of ugly so I'm posting it here:

Pretty neat, and I like how some of the existing Gem designs have been used as inspiration. And you should go ahead and post it (as a link), it's only one or two people complaining.

Plus, I get the feeling that less people will object if someone besides me posts it.

 

[SpaceCadetKeon]

Ooh gem ponies, I love it! Especially gem Rarity, she looks so cool.

But that reminds me, I found this one day while browsing Skullgirls fan art.

Spoiler

For those unfamiliar with Skullgirls, it's Fluttershy and Discord as Squigly and Leviathan respectively.

 

[wookieofdoom]

Time for art!!

 

[PaulloDEC]

Nice work with the art, all! That Steven Universe one is especially cool.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Great art! I can't see the Skullgirls art right now, but I know that at least two of the characters got alternate color schemes to resemble Fluttershy (the one with the sweater) and Rainbow Dash (the robot).

From Equestria Daily's Drawfriend today, this comic-based art stood out to me. I did think those two pastry chefs deserved more fan art.

Fixed it. And you are correct. Those colors were given to Parasoul and Robo-Fortune respectively.

Source Film Maker recreation of "A True True Friend". As someone who made CG animations for a class once, I can tell this took a lot of effort, but it's still pretty janky looking.

Also, planning on having the OT title changed during the weekend. I think I'll just go with a straightforward one, but feel free to give suggestions.
My Little Pony: FiM season 5 |OT| 100+ episodes and better than ever!

 

[draetenth]

I've never cared about flash or style so your title is fine SigmasonicX.

 

[PaulloDEC]

Title sounds fine to me, Sigma.

As for the True True Friend video... man, I just can't get past those SFM models. I can see the uploader has put a ton of work in, but the models have just never looked right to me.

The manes looking wonky and some of the facial expressions simply not matching the charm of their 2-D counterparts are the biggest drawbacks, IMO... but I'm otherwise very impressed.

 

[Orcastar]

That video just makes me appreciate the fact that FiM isn't CGI.

The art style doesn't lend itself to 3D well. Rarity in particular looks balding except that piece of purple hair jutting out of her scalp.

EQLA panel with both Lauren Faust and Bonnie Zacherle.

This comic has cute art, though the content isn't the greatest.

There's also this thing.

Foozogz does it again, this time with "Make this Castle a Home".

The first one confused me a little due to some out-of-order panels(?), but the art is cute for sure.

The second one just plain confused me.

I'll have to listen to that later. Another thing I'll have to watch later is the newly released 107 Facts about Friendship is Magic. Surprised it took this long for it to be made.

And also, 45 minutes of Animaniacs PMVs.

The second one just plain confused me.

Coco eating coco, of course.

This artist has been doing cute Mega Man X crossover art.
First

There are others, but the artist didn't group them together.

Listened to the "Make This Castle a Home" remix and it was good.

Also got around to watching the 107 Facts video. It was interesting, though there were some mistakes like saying Spike appeared in every MLP version (he wasn't in Tales), and more so a lot of cases of failing to mention things that relate to facts mentioned. For instance, he mentions Wilhelm screams in Equestria Girls but fails to point out that they appeared in almost every season 3 episode and other episodes; and when mentioning Doctor Whooves, he fails to bring up that he actually got a speaking role in "Slice of Life". I am glad that he only spent one fact to talk about bronies, though it was to mention the nonsensical explanation that bronies were drawn to the show by the adult references.

Still haven't watched the Animaniacs video.

More importantly, I came to post this

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Anthro Luna!

 

[SigmasonicX]

The weirdest fashion show. Sorry Rarity, but I don't think high fashion is for me.

Also, that artist doing Mega Man X crossovers is now doing Mega Man Zero too

What's with that flower?

It could have been worse. Some of the knit stuff was fun. I looked up the sandals online, and they have some neat designs. Probably gonna pick up a pair. So I guess I was influenced by fashion. Ha!

Off topic, but I just watched the latest Barbie movie, the Jem-inspired "Rock'n Royals".

A mixup sends Princess Barbie to Rock Star Camp while Rock Star Jerrica Erica gets sent to Princess Camp. The two camps then engage in a battle of the bands.

It was both better and worse than I expected. I should have expected the low points, having watched other Barbie movies, but somehow I keep cutting this franchise some extra slack. But then again, the movie had high points, so I'm content.

This song alone says to me that Barbie has already beaten Jem's upcoming big-budget live-action movie.

Them's Fightin' Herds crowd funding page is finally up.

Some new info is provided of course, but they seem to be missing a character... although they mention on their tumblr account she should be revealed soon.

Animation is bland and the song is generic, but yeah, it's probably better sung than anything that will come out of the Jem movie.

Yeah, the Rainbow Dash equivalent is still missing. Some are suggesting she will be a flying pig. By the way, there is a topic over on the Gaming side for Them's Fightin' Herds, if you weren't aware.

EDIT: WeLoveFine's adorable Chibi Applejack figure is up for pre-order.

Someone leaked the art assets from season 1/2.

This might have been the original plan for twilight pre-alicorn:

There's a whole bunch of concept art and flash assets in the leak, pretty good stuff.

It might be more accurate to say that was the plan for the season 2 finale before Shining Armor's wedding was turned into a two-parter, since I don't think they would have season 3 assets already made.

EDIT: Well-made fan animation about Fancy Pants' own clothing store

 

[Orcastar]

Just looks like a character-specific costume to me. The leaked materials include similar costumes for the other ponies too:

 

[SigmasonicX]

ED compiled the art into two posts.
Post 1
Post 2

I could have sworn something like this popped up before, but I don't recognize a lot of this art. I'll have to finish looking through it later.

Also, a new company is doing MLP-themed dolls (human), Integrity Toys. Kind of odd, but this won't be getting its own spinoff, so whatever.

There was another leak awhile back, so no need to swear.
