Gah! How did I miss that?

Pinkie's cupcake song

Yep, she's a couple cupcakes short of a batch.

So I'm halfway into the first episode and I'm wondering when it starts being worthy of all this hype, can someone fill me in?

Are you a 10 year-old girl? No? That could be the problem.

Which page has the debate about which pony is which Sailor Moon character?

Wow really awesome! Pinkie Pie's singing voice is still definitely the best among the cast though it's great to hear the nuances in the singing for the rest of the cast. Shame about the chorus line in Winter Wrap Up though.

52 or 26 depending on how you have your page count set up.

Awesomely done!

Also didn't notice how Pinkie Pie starts appearing in 2 places at once during that cupcake song. I uh... what's going on? <____>

Half way in to the first episode means you've watched 10 minutes lol. Watch the two pilots and then a couple more regular episodes and then decide if it's for you or not.

Foxix! I've just read that you're getting into Maya, cooleroo.

Oooooh thanks. If I ever audition for American Idol you know what I'm singing.

Edit: thanks Mechanical! Yeah I've been wanting to learn animation for ages now and I'm finally able to take the plunge into Animation Mentor now. Well hopefully my new laptop holds together, I'm actually scared to even touch that thing now that the system recovery is finished. I'm thinking about not even using it for anything other than work at this point... I tend to bork computers with great ease...

That's what I been saying to folks. I'm converting a lot of them to the pony army.

I personally got more interested somewhere around halfway through the second episode. Everything after that is just pure squeeeeeeeeee

How is this:

Just made it after watching Pony Show again, it seemed like the perfect avi candidate. Don't feel obligated to use, Foxix can just put it on the Avatar page if you don't want. Also, I thought you were complaining that your avatar couldn't be changed?

Good question! Glad to see it resolved though, and I'll totally add it to the stack if he doesn't claim dibs on it.

Edit: Too awesome to not post

 

[Myke Greywolf]

Already translated 7 episodes to european portuguese and timed subtitles for 5 episodes... I'm planning to go more public with this project once I reach episode 10.

I'm really into it, I hope I can get more people in Portugal and Brazil to watch this and become part of the brony army.

If anyone wants to, they can use the subtitle timings for their own translation projects, just let me know and credit me for timing. All the files can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/mlp-fim_pt-pt_subs

 

[Fersis]

I watched the first episode: The animation and character design are really good and i love how the say 'everypony' instead of everybody. Dunno why but i love it.

No, it was rather about the weirdness of my tag together with a Pnoy avie and me not daring to change due to a few past experiences.
Made a rant thread, people said I shouldn't care so I just went for it.
Oh, and nice avie but not quite. I'm looking more for something like the cloud hopping or the speech. I have gimp myself but I'll have to rewatch to maybe find some avatar stuff.

Been watching this pass the first 2 episodes (because it hooked me) and I just got to Episode 9.

I always thought Rainbow Dash was the

black one because of her voice (it kinda reminds me of "Number 5" from The Kids Next Door).

Guess she isn't ... or

Ponies are just "America" and The Zebra just reps "Africa" and not "Black People".

The latter.

There are definetly some "black" ponies that don't look like zebras in Equestria.

 

[KibblesBits]

I'm almost sure Cree Summer is not the VA of Rainbow Dash.

I knew all those pony avatars in Gaming had to originate from OT somewhere.


And now that I'm here, I'm not sure I can leave.

It kinda sneaks up on you. You watch the first ep or two and think that while it's better than drek, it's not worthy of all the love, and set it aside. You get bored one day and watch a few more episodes.... and convince yourself to watch a few more...and then you're sporting a pony avatar.

Or, y'know, it's not your cup of tea. Not everyone like cute things.

Exactly what happened to me, except in about the span of a single day. I think maybe a part of why that happens is due to so much of the humor being character based. At least for me it took a while to recognize and relate to all the different personalities of the main six but once I did it all sort of clicked. Once that happened I also enjoyed the initial two parter a good deal more as well.

He thinks the first episode looks awesome in HD

edit: It's a good tech podcast too btw.

Glad Garry Whitta has watched the show. I'm a super fan of Tested so any crossover talk is more than welcome

Fantastic. Thanks for that Gary!

She's not, Ashleigh Ball is the voice of Rainbow Dash.

Ashleigh Ball also voices Applejack and Mary Test from Johnny Test.
Her best showcase role in an anime series was Sanri Wakana in Starship Operators.
She also happens to be the lead singer from Hey Ocean!.

I watched the first two episodes, and the animation was nice, but it was so cheeeeeeeesy. I love cheesy but still, lol. Second episode did feel very sailor moony though, not sure if I like that or not.

The second episode is the cheesiest of the bunch. It gets better.

The last time GAF convinced me to watch a "kid's" cartoon worked out great for me (Avatar: The Last Airbender), so I guess I will give this a shot in a little while. If I watch just three or so episodes, would that be enough to get a feel for whether or not I should stick with it? What kind of expectations should I have going into it?

I would say 4 is the magic number. Get the first three to establish the characters, and a fourth that's one of the best in the series (my vote would be for episode 14, Suited for Success). The characters and show can take awhile to grow on you (I think Foxix is right that much of the appeal and humor comes from well-developed characters that take some time to establish), but if you're not enjoying yourself by the end of 4, you're probably not going to like it.

The first two episodes are really not representative of what the show is. Don't go in expecting an epic like Avatar, either. It's more slapstick with great animation.

I was going to post something very similar to this. Unfortunately I got sidetracked looking at those shirts again and forgot that I left that reply window open. I'm seriously considering a twilight or a derpy shirt >_>

Anyway yeah, three episodes is a fine amount I think. If you have time for it I would definitely recommend watching a fourth though. Again keep in mind that the first two episodes are greatly different in structure from the rest of the series. As someone else said earlier the first two are basically Pony Sailor Moon and the rest of the season is basically Pony Azumanga Daioh.

 

[Koomaster]

Wouldn't it be super easy to make a Derpy Hooves shirt? Just a grey tee and some bleach no? I'd go with Twilight.

 

[ChronicleX]

IT'S ABOUT PONYS!!! How I cringe at seeing all these pony's everywhere.... must..... avoid.... watching..... pony's......suppressed....memories.....rainbow...spot the dog.....gawakhahahawak.......

But then I'd have to actually do something.

Please advise.

Compared to your avatar vault? This actually looks easier.

There's a pony thread on just about every forum I've looked at recently. It's difficult to pinpoint exactly where GAF caught the contagion.

You have a point. A point that I will promptly disregard as nonsense! Really though... I mean I'm not even sure how I'd accomplish bleaching a series of perfect pink circles on a gray shirt.

Caught the contagion or jumped on the bandwagon. Either way.

And usually when stuff reaches gaming age it's a little worn.

 

[Koomaster]

Gaf definitely caught on late; but it sounds like several of us have been watching but were too fluttershy to make a thread here. ^_^;;

 

[wsippel]

Seems like a cool show, I'm definitely gonna check it out soon, but why did it have to be flash! Looks cheaper than it should.

I doubt it's Flash. From what I gather, it's made with Harmony. How fitting...

By far the best 2D animation software. Takes a colossal shit on Flash.

Trust me it doesn't go away either. Even having already watched all the episodes I still find myself rewatching old episodes even if I should be doing something better.

FUCK.
