Thread title change and 400 posts since my last one, huh?

While this didn't surprise me a lot, it did make me sad.

Let me get up to speed, I'll be back soon.

 

[Veins]

I would recommend you guys get on with the show.

 

[Choppasmith]

Don't. This is how I found the show, and it is great! So thank you.

Seconded, while I did a couple of pony gifs here and there it was this thread that prompted me to look it up on Know Your meme. SO thanks from me too.

 

[Jintor]

Hang on, who changed the thread title?

I find that really offensive.

Finding out about his show has been a real bright spot in GAF's relentlessly cynical world and it's deeply disturbing to me that others feel threatened by it.

Who exactly made the change?

By the way, I think it was Evilore, so you might want to put away the tire iron. Just sayin'.

 

[Trent Strong]

Yeah, I think I'm gonna start ignoring these people that come in here and ask loaded questions with no intention of listening to the answer, like the guy that posted underneath my last post.

I just finished watching another episode, hopefully I can get up to speed completely before the next one airs and is uploaded. I don't wanna be behind anymore Pony-GAF!!!

I am supposed to be sleeping right now hehehe I should get to that huh

That's fine, I deserve that since it did make some posts earlier in this thread that could be considered trolls, but we're really just jokes that I made to try to be affable. It's too hard to see what someone's 'tone of voice' is on the internet though, so I'll quit while I'm behind and stop posting in this thread, sorry. But it wasn't a loaded question, it was a serious question and I had every intention of listening to the answer.

Edit: For reference, everything started on Page 30.

Edit 2: Eh, forget it. Panda gone and goofed. But goddamn. Seriously.

 

[KtSlime]

Look what page we're on. We made it!

 

[justin.au]

I used to hate this thread and everything it stood for. Now I love it.

People getting angry about ponies and people getting defensive about ponies. Shit's brilliant.

(Great title change).

Look what page we're on. We made it!

Pony-lover and 50 posts per page. Very disappointed, son.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Hey I was hoping someone could help me. GAF seems pretty upbeat about this show so I'm wanting to start watching it. Can anyone advise me where I should start from? Also is the show available to stream online anywhere? Thanks.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

I don't know what happened in these other threads... what were they about? Who's Selena Gomez and what's SNSD?

Selena Gomez is an 18 year old Disney star that looks like she's about 12 years old. For some reason certain parts of GAF adores her. SNSD is a South Korean girl group.

And wtf happened in this thread.

 

[KtSlime]

The best place to find it is YouTube; Hasbro doesn't seem to care that people post it there, so you can actually even find 1080p versions: Do a search for "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic" and you will have no problem finding it.

The first two episodes are a bit mahou shojo, so if you don't care for them try later episodes.

 

[SapientWolf]

Can I ask one serious question? Both the original Selena Gomez thread and the original SNSD thread got title changes and were trolled, just like this thread. But no one in those other two threads got as angry and defensive as everyone in this thread did. They just laughed off the title changes, ignored the trolls and went on with their business. This thread got much angier than those other two threads. Why?

The people in those threads had no shame.

 

[Choppasmith]

Okay, I've got some good news! I've been looking at those 720p rips with the 5.1 Sound mix, separated the channels into individual WAVs, looks like I can get some clean (or mostly clean) Soundtrack rips!

Here's a quick MP3 of Winter Wrapup I made with only the Left and Right sound channels active. I'm no audiophile, but I'll experiment and see what I can cook up. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

[OMG Aero]

... OK Gaf. I have placed this in the "strange pedo 4Chan thing" in the back of my mind, trying to ignore 4chan threads about it.

Then I notice a lot of gaf members with MLP avas and now I see this thread. I'm gonna give it a try ... just to see if it's more then "Western Moe Pedo-Bait".

I find it really funny that you are letting 4chan influence your thoughts about a show when you have a Pikachu avatar. You do know there is a Pokemon board on 4chan where a few of the posts are of porn of Pokemon themselves right?

You really shouldn't let weird offshoots of fan bases influence what you like and dislike because, with the internet, that basically means you can't like anything ever.

 

[Myke Greywolf]

B-But I thought I was the mascot.

Can I get that gif without the macro for trolling purposes?

I'll do it for you later, I have to rip the frames again, without the subtitles.

So Rarity's voice actress is really something incredible, and they did wonders with her this episode. Her whining is really quite hilarious.

Really great voice acting for Rarity, but that is something I had already noticed in other episodes, particularly "Suited for Success". The only thing is, her pseudo-british accent does slip a little, once in a while.

Stellar voice acting in general for this show, though. There's not a single voice that I don't like.

Also, did anybody else notice Pinkie riding Fluttershy on their fishing expidition through the caverns?

It was only a second, but Foxix already made an avatar out of it.

Never watched the show but the thread does make me interested to give it a try.

If you like Bone, you are probably the kind of person who would get it. Go search "my little pony friendship is magic" on Youtube.

 

[ZoddGutts]

More Rarity is always a good thing. Never been a fan of the preppy show-off girl, but they somehow managed to make her not annoying.

Yeah it's refreshing because usually her type of character are the bad/evil/mean characters in any other show, yet here she's actually one of the good characters.

Last one I can think of was Cordelia Chase from Buffy though she was a bad/mean character early on those seasons.

 

[Jintor]

I really like that she isn't "all airhead all the time". She has her moments (and because of the type of show this is she goes all-out when she does), but she usually realises when she's being a bitch supreme and wisens up.

 

[Choppasmith]

Yeah I have to say Rarity is quite admirable in that regard. Hell, in the latest episode, a lot of people hate it because it seems like it's encouraging that "whining to get what you want is ok" The other ponies imagined she'd be too "delicate" to handle herself in that kind of situation but she surprises everyone and pulls through. She tries to ask nicely to leave, they don't let her, she complains about her imprisonment and treatment and she notices their weakness, and she runs with it.

The whole "annoying damsel" shtick has been done before, but what usually happens those other instances is that damsel is completely unaware of their situation and is just acting like themselves, Rarity however knows the trouble she's in and plays her whining card with gusto. Pure mind games like somethign Michael Weston and Co. would do on Burn Notice (I know, weird comparison, but true though).

Yup. Among the main six, Rarity is probably only second in smarts to Twilight, but I think she keeps it to herself because she has too much fun maintaining her posh persona, and loves to surprise everyone when she gets to use her wits.

 

[Mechanical Snowman]

I don't like the way she pronounces her name, but yeah I think she is a great voice actor, as are all of them. Fluttershy and Pinkie have the best voices though, IMO.

And after spending the last 40 minutes reading up on the colossal derail, I've come to the conclusion that Panda got more shit than he deserved and it was admirable that he tried to salvage the thread by taking the heat. He wasn't trolling.

And I can't wait for that Rarity / Fluttershy ep.

Even when being humble she's being vain!

I wish Adventure Time had this sort of love on GAF. I'd rather see more Adventure Time avatars and in-group/clique jokes of that show over this one, that's for sure.

I see a lot of serious discussion going on about the show in the last few posts and since I've never heard of the show other than GAF, I have to ask: How many episodes have aired already?

Eh, Regular Show> Adventure Time.

19 episodes have aired. If you plan to watch it, note that the first two episodes are the weakest of the series so far, not bad just the other episodes are better.

 

[Jintor]

18 or 19, from memory.

This might seem a little weird but I don't really like Adventure Time that much. It's very in the vein of Spongebob to me, which I liked-ish but didn't really enjoy. I recognized it was a very smart piece of animation but at the same time I just kind of found it annoying.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA god I wanted to strangle that sponge sometimes.

At the moment 19 full 22 minute episodes.

I started watching Adventure Time after someone mentioned it in this thread, and I'm really digging it. I still prefer MLP:FiM, though, because even though AT has consistently funnier situations, the pony characters are more engaging to me.

MLP:FiM is current on episode 19 of the first season, with a second season given as certain.

Am I missing one? The last one I have is S01E18 A dog and a Pony Show.

Or is it because the first two are considered 1 episode?

 

[Myke Greywolf]

I like the CMC episodes. I want more. They're hilarious and Apple Bloom is cute. Lot of bronies not down with the CMC, but here I am representing.

They are all cute. I wouldn't like it a lot if the show was always focused on them, but an episode here and there doesn't bother me in the least.

Yeah, I'm counting the pilot arc as two episodes. Check here to see if you're missing something.

 

[Mechanical Snowman]

Oh, thank you. I was missing "The Show Stoppers".

And I love the CMC episodes, too, I'm quite looking forward to The Chronicles:

The crusaders look for Twilight and the other ponies to learn how they got their cutie marks.

 

[spindashing]

Eh, Regular Show< Adventure Time.

Regular Show has its moments, but it is nowhere as batshit ridiculous (and probably marketable) as Adventure Time. I'll go as far as to say it's probably the best kids' cartoon running currently in the US.

Thanks for answering, guys. I only asked because for some reason, I was under the impression that there were only a few episodes out (like 3 for example). With such a low number like that, such extensive/"serious" talk of the show going on would seem a tad weird to me.

Do your thing, guys. Don't let the occasional troll/name change get to you. =)

 

[Shanadeus]

Nice!
It's good that they try to explain the lore.

 

[Jintor]

It's going to be something really mundane, isn't it? :T

I hope Twilight got hers by causing a star to go supernova.

 

[Shanadeus]

I'm interested in supporting the ponyhood so if anyone can find and make me a MLP avatar then I shall wear it in pride.

It just have to be a cat or a kitten.

 

[Myke Greywolf]

People elsewhere were already speculating that Rainbow Dash must have gotten hers the first time she did the Sonic Rainboom. I have to admit that it would be pretty awesome if it was true.

Would Rarity's cat juggling her sewing supplies be acceptable?

If so, I'll have it ready in 3 hours.

A rainbow colored lightning bolt does seem to point that way. It's kind of a strange symbol, really. Applejack on the other hoof... She's good with apples.

 

[Mechanical Snowman]

Yeah I really hope they do it in flashback format. What confused me about the Sonic Rainboom is that Rainbow Dash has done it once before, but no one believed her. Makes me think she did it by accident when no one was watching or something.

In fact, those male ponies from the flight school said that the Sonic Rainboom didn't even exist, so it must be only Rainbow Dash that has ever executed one in recent history if the move has legendary / myth status.

 

[Shanadeus]

Would Rarity's cat juggling her sewing supplies be acceptable?

If so, I'll have it ready in 3 hours.

Oh, I liked it when the cat keeps rolling starting at 4.41 and forward.

Or when the cat is rubbing it's head against the dress (6.27) and playing with them from 6.10 and forward.

Or 8.22!

So many options!

I'm willing to post this in the next page's first post:

PONY-GAF, HEED MY WORDS!

For this, the 2101st post of the era of Pony, and in order to avoid consequences of possibly babyponyan proportions the likes of which we have witnessed in the last few pages, Celestia herself compels me to transmit you...

The ten commandments of Pony-GAF

1 - Thou shalt not post Rule 34 material.
2 - Thou shalt not post any kind of shipping material, however innocent it may be.
3 - Thou shalt not post any furry-reminiscent material, however harmless it may appear.
4 - Thou shalt not respond to trolls.
5 - Thou shalt not spam pony-related materials in other threads.
6 - Thou shalt not derail pony-related conversations with unrelated matters.
7 - Thou shalt not mock a fellow brony for their motives, stance or opinion, for that is the troll's way.
8 - Thou shalt mark thy episode-related spoilers with spoiler tags for three full days after the first air date.

I'm coming empty for the last two, any suggestions?

 

[Jintor]

Thou shall make the occasional horse-related pun (you've got to have the occasional enforced behaviour rule)
