• MLP Review From People in Our General Age Group

    I got this one in an email, its a review of FiM from some bronies on youtube.  The only issue is the length.. yeesh 48 minutes.  You guys might want to shorten the next one a bit.  It's still pretty interesting to see the faces of fellow pony fiends though. Enjoy!

    1. Yeah in retrospect, we should have made talking about the characters a separate video. If we end up doing episode reviews, they'll be a lot shorter.

    2. Now I just want to play something, but I'll surely watch it tomorrow.

    3. It may be interesting to see some fan commentary videos on Youtube, with people talking over an episode.

    4. Another thing about Twilight - I think she's the source of most of the sarcasm in the show, if you're watching for that... can't say that's a demerit, just a trend I'm picking up on. That and the last 10% of every ep is devoted to the moral (I don't feel it quite permeates the whole episode), somehow I feel the writing is more geared for the adventure, while designed around the moral, they don't bean you over the head with it until the very end (I still wince a little at some of the morals since they're so forwardly stated), yet somehow I can't see the show working without them, idk.

      There was a clip in there from Sonic Rainboom, I can't help watching those clips and think there's no means of propulsion to get to that speed (she's not flapping her wings). Of course it's magic, but that bothers me more than the fact she couldn't breath at those speeds (assuming sonic rainboom = speed of sonic boom)

      Luna's coming back later, they already have that written in - http://comments.deviantart.com/4/1603670/1863521468

      Derpy eyes were supposedly intentional according to Flash (animator on the show?) http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/02/fim-layout-guy-answering-questions-on.html

      ~didn't want to divulge a lot of the details
      Hmm, I can't see a lot of users watching a 45 minute synopsis from fans of the show before the show itself - so I don't think there should that much concern about spoilers.

      You'll probably wake up in the prison.

    9. Well, I enjoyed it. Should have done the character reviews as a separate video, but an entertaining watch nonetheless.

    10. Ooh! Commentaries for your favorite episodes would be awesome!

      Well, it made me lose interest in her opinion.

      Yeah Twilight's sarcasm is one of the reasons she's my favorite in the show. ^_^

      As for the length, I think it's because I jinxed us really. Before we began shooting I said: "This'll probably be a really short video..." >_< doh.

      Think in the future if we see it going too long, we'll scrap the video and re-shoot it till it's more condensed.

    16. For long videos, I think it's best to divide it into logical chapters by posting the timecodes in the video description. Example:

      0:00 Intro
      5:00 Character Designs
      7:30 Animation / Catchies Song
      13:00 Voice Acting
      ... and so on.

      Youtube will turn the timecodes into links that, when clicked, make the video play from exactly that point.

    17. That was really long-winded and many parts could have been cut out but honestly I'm so long-winded myself I can't blame them. The guy on the right even looks eerily like me, and shares my opinion about Regular Show to boot.

    20. I stopped watching when you started talking about "Princess Celestria". This vid is way too long.

    21. Aww, it's funny watching guys talk about it and be all sheepish. OWN it, boys. BE THE PONY.

    23. "Princess Celestria"

      What gets me is I never noticed I was doing it. Apparently Tsuki didn't seem to think it important to correct me either. Derp.
