See what worries me is the whole antagonist thing. I don't mind the occasional antagonist, but what worries me is that they're going to move away from slice of life stuff and move to something else. Season 1 really didn't have any villains except the occasional monster. Even Gilda and Trixie weren't really villains.

Episode was kinda meh. There were good moments, but I think episodes really need a central pony or two to focus on. Giving equal attention to all of them doesn't really give any of them enough of a chance to shine. I did like all of the callbacks to the Ticket Master and Suited for Success though.
Not the best of news, but I'll give the staff the benefit of the doubt.
They should just be careful not to change too much for "our" sakes. While we may be most of the show's audience, we weren't the target, and I don't think we should become it. I'm actually more concerned about Derpy than anything

Fans are stupid. I hope they remember that. Listening to fanboys/girls will only end in disaster.

Sucks, but being honest I'm not surprised. After Episode 3, she was practically not involved in the show.
I guess Hasbro wanted to get someone talented at the helm to get the show off to a great start and be sure that it would be a success then boot her out once the show took off.

Well, I can't say I'm not a little bit disheartened by this news. This was the last thing I expected to hear after we found out that season 2 was a sure thing. That kind of told me that season 1 did very well and now the show's creator and now the show's creator is only going to be doing some consulting on it? I don't like it.
However, like others have said, we have to give season 2 an honest chance. It does sound like there are some seriously talented people involved and we can only hope the new episodes are on par with the awesomeness of season 1.
I really, really hope the show doesn't completely tank but I can't help this nagging feeling that we're going to be disappointed. Please don't let us down!
Edit:
And it seems like I'm still rocking Belle Eve. Oops. Guess I'll have to wait til I get into work on Monday to change it back.

I'm slightly worried about the possibility of quality decreasing after Faust losing her grip on the show, but unless the show becomes all about the ponies deciding which frosting to use on the cake for their next tea party, and as long as the characters and tone stay true to what has been established in season one, I'll keep on riding this boat.
Already I have great hopes, based on what we've read from the director and several of the artists involved.

There is no single greater change you can make to the production of a show than to change the showrunner.
Lauren most likely drafted and gave notes on treatments during the writing process, designed the initial characters, helped in casting the actors, gave notes at every single design, storyboard, animation and post phase and in numerous ways, left her stamp on every single second of the show.
I hope that this means Rob Renzetti (or a similarly talented former showrunner) gets to fill that role and is granted the creative freedom to carve out his own particular niche.
The move to animate exclusively at Go Animate while the Studio B animators work on Pound Puppies also points towards a budget cut (which is actually pretty normal for the second season of a show) is pretty disheartening.
It'll most likely be different, but that isn't a bad thing. If the original plans were to have a greater story arc (assuming Hasbro didn't nix it) and antagonist in season 2, Rob Renzetti is a FANTASTIC fit.
Here's hoping it doesn't just go the safe route, and it ends slowly being skewing towards the previous MLP shows.

Nayuki's post makes me feel better. Lauren is still heavily involved in pre-production which means that the theme should be consistent. I just hope that they keep on winking to us instead of fully embracing the brony phenomenon.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to beat Ultimoo in Hungry, Hungry Hippos.

Adelor Lyon said:Handled in true Pony fashion (har) with a nod to Pinkie's insanity (her hair poofing back to normal) and Applejack's gag about them not wearing clothes. Pinkie playing with the first machine and being blown across the room was good physical comedy, too.
Now, the real question is, will Hasbro release a line of toys where the ladies are wearing their dresses? If the show's all about selling more toys, I say yes. If the show's about releasing good quality TV with fun stories, interesting characters, and subtle moral messages, I suggest no.
I picked up all of the $2 Big Lots pony characters (except Fluttershy; couldn't find it at three stores. I tell people she's hiding) and that'll the extent of my merchandise purchases until the season comes out on BluRay. I'm not letting this thing turn into another financial Lion King.
If Suited for Success is what happens when Hasbro is trying to sell some toys, I want them to sell me some more goddamn toys.

They made us love an episode with a musical number about making pretty dresses. I don't know how they'd do it, but I bet these guys could even turn an episode about a tea party into entertaining television.
EDIT: I really hope the shitstorm doesn't tell the rest of the team that we don't value their input. You can see goldenrusset getting a bit more defensive...

That top one should have the caption: IMBA!
It'd be perfect for SC2 Gaf thread when people complain about forcefields.

I hope everyone is preemptively getting e3 versions of these gifs ready.
Pony gifs are the modern equivalent of the political cartoon.

It's funny when they shut down OT for E3. I go full on lurker during E3. The bloodshed during that time is overwhelming. The mods aren't very forgiving that week. I would recommend that PonyGaf refrain from imposing our will during that time.meltingparappa said:

Trying to remember. I thought they shut down everything. I just remember them moving the world cup thread over to gaming but that was it.Nishastra said:Hmm... I don't remember... Do they shut down Community?

Not sure about the second one.

She could've just talked the old groundskeeper since he wanted to be friends.
Well if Hasbro screwed up with this they'll be just as bad as 4Kids!
They could pull that one thing like they did to the ninja turtles 2003 series that changed the animation to awful cheap looking abomination.
Oh and Twilight Mom's probably going to eat those flowers so what's the point of giving them in Equestria?
