Amazing video. Yeah, gotta agree, as the fandom continues to snowball the quality of pony-related fanmade content popping up just continues to astound. Was it just me or was Derpy Hooves missing though?
@Tsunami.No.Ai I find this statement surprisingly accurate XD. I mean, Touhou is a game and MLP is a cartoon obviously, but both Touhou and MLP have a large cast of mostly female characters and produce a large amount of fanmade music and games and just...whoa. It's hardcore.
Eh, not as good as it could've been. The original had really great and inventive transitions, which is what made it awesome. And what's with the pixellation?
I might be missing something, but isn't the original Bad Apple like a lot smoother? This just seems kind of... pixelated? and the animation is also a bit jerky.
I can name all characters in the touhou version and the pony version. Give me a group picture of any one, I can name them all. Can anyone else do that?
It's good, but there is lots of room for improvement! I think the original Bad Apple was made by silhouetting 3d models, which is why it's so smooth. Plus, the original is really kinetic, and rarely ever stops moving.
But still, this is great! I'd like to see an improved version in the future!
It's awesome! I think the issue is probably is using the long version and filling in the scenes that wasn't in the short shadow version of the song must have been an issue to solve. Unless of course you seen the long version with the beautiful drawn pictures *As I can tell* NIcely well put in. Link to the version I was talking about. (Before The Bad Apple! SHadow version made it popular) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY50o9KmbSo&feature=channel_video_title
Having now watched the original as well as this one, i have to say i like this one slightly better. But that's only because i actually know who (most) the characters are in this one. There was one bit that showed previous gen ponies next to their current incarnations. Rarity really hasn't changed?
This is one video i will always love, since it has both MLP and Touhou. Seriously, fans of MLP are getting even better with crossovers. I have yet to complain about anything other than there are too many shipping stories that I try to avoid.
I'd like to say this video is awesome but no, it's not. Frankly, it's terrible. I'm sure that someday someone will make PMV as awesome as the original Bad Apple.
This was freaking amazing! Probably one of the best fan vids I've seen. This made me geek a little more each time it showed a character it hadn't already. Damn near had everypony in this thing! You rock! (woohoo)
Haha, I was thinking that someone should do this just the other day XD Most of the transitions don't really work, and a lot of it is kind of awkward, but it's still pretty cool. Reimu at the end made me lol :D.
Touhou and MLP... considering the fandoms and even some of the characteristics of the series itself, it makes perfect sense for these two to be crossed over.
Those who are taken in by how "awkward" the movements are (which even I'll admit are still choppy and I'd love to see them smoothed out) need to go to the youtube link and read the comments by the author. He made a point that his computer ABSOLUTELY SUCKED and was lagging hard on MSPaint. It may be that he simply didn't have the power to make it as well as he'd like at this point. Maybe we'll hear of this again when he has a more polished version ready...
Has anyone here watched/read the English version of the lyrics? They fit Princess Luna perfectly!
Ever on and on I continue circling With nothing but my hate in a carousel of agony Till slowly I forget and my heart starts vanishing And suddenly I see that I can't break free--I'm Slipping through the cracks of a dark eternity With nothing but my pain and the paralyzing agony To tell me who I am, who I was Uncertainty enveloping my mind Till I can't break free, and
Maybe it's a dream; maybe nothing else is real But it wouldn't mean a thing if I told you how I feel So I'm tired of all the pain, of the misery inside And I wish that I could live feeling nothing but the night
It's his first time, so we have to give him a bit of slack. :P
That being said, I felt the whole thing could use about double the frames of animation at least. The movement and transitions felt too choppy for me to fully enjoy it. In its own right, it was okay, but when you do stuff like this, you're going to inevitably be compared to the original, and it fell short in that respect. Hope he tries it again and produces a better product next time. :)
It also might have helped if he used the shortened version of the song used in the Bad Apple! music video, since that would mean he would be able to make better transitions without putting every single character in MLP.
It was so close. Could have been better. And it doesn't really compare to the original. It must have taken a long time to make, a lot of hard work, and it was clearly a good concept. But even so...
@RainbowLeader 510 Not previous gen characters but Lauren Faust's original designs of the mane six, before the show went into production. You can see their original designs here if you haven't: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101225153735/mlp/images/4/4f/FANMADE_History-concept.jpg
I agree that Rarity didn't seem to change a lot compared to the others
I had to wait for 58 seconds just to get to the part with lyrics. Pretty sure most songs do it faster....not that anything could be done about it, just saying.
Why are there two soarains? That is him right?
What was with Luna's face?
I wonder how much this looks like the orginal video....

ReplyDelete..Obviously not first.
ReplyDeleteI watched it before. It was awesome. But, no Derpy.
...
@dwarfyz
ReplyDeleteWait, i just saw him.
I FEEL LIKE AN FUCKING IDIOT.
Sixth?
ReplyDelete@Fadhil Anshar
ReplyDeleteno.
i am sixth, you are fifth.
Umm...Wow ..just wow
ReplyDeleteI wish Diapasa’s cutie mark were visible like that. She’s such an enigmatic pony.
ReplyDeletePonies: The Westen Touhou.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, luv it ^.^ my favorite part was the Yin/Yang at the end.
ReplyDeleteSeen It before! I'm so hipster
ReplyDeleteAmazing video. Yeah, gotta agree, as the fandom continues to snowball the quality of pony-related fanmade content popping up just continues to astound. Was it just me or was Derpy Hooves missing though?
ReplyDeleteWow. That. Was. AWESOME!
ReplyDelete@anonycus
ReplyDeleteOh wait she was right after the Mayor, nevermind.
Not familiar with what this is a reference to, but still an awesome video.
ReplyDeleteThe more Touhou/MLP things there are in the world, the better my life is.
ReplyDeleteWow, this was amazing. Funny how by now I can name pretty much Every character in there. (I think I only missed the piano playing one.)
ReplyDeleteAnd that's just from identifying their silhouette and cutie mark.

We need some MLP danmaku games right away.

ReplyDeleteVery nice, quite a few neat touches!
ReplyDeleteThat video above is a parody of this video.
ReplyDeletedang. that must have taken FOR EVER!
ReplyDeleteBad Apple and Ponies.
ReplyDeleteAHA! THE AWESOME HAS BEEN DOUBLED!
Why so low votes? I mean, yes, the quality is not superb, but it's definetly an awesome video anyway!
ReplyDeleteSome people might be giving this video bad votes because they're comparing it to the original Bad Apple.
ReplyDeleteThis video is great, and it's going on my iPod! :D
@Tsunami.No.Ai
ReplyDeleteIt pretty much is lol.

ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of SHIFT.
ReplyDeleteAnyone remember that puzzle game?
It's like the Portal of indie games.
Absolutely amazing video
ReplyDeleteI understand it's made in MS Paint... I forgive you for that. It's just so good. Not bad at the transitions myself.
ReplyDeleteIt's nicely done. Feels like I wanna re-animate myself~
I can name all characters in the touhou version and the pony version.
ReplyDeleteGive me a group picture of any one, I can name them all.
Can anyone else do that?
Bad apple FTW.
ReplyDeleteIt's good, but there is lots of room for improvement!

This is really bad compared with the original. It need to be about… nay, it just seriously lacks awesomeness.
ReplyDeleteI freaking love Bad Apple. It was great, but I was kinda expecting less choppy and pixally animation. But its amazing, none the less. :3
ReplyDeleteThis is one video i will always love, since it has both MLP and Touhou. Seriously, fans of MLP are getting even better with crossovers. I have yet to complain about anything other than there are too many shipping stories that I try to avoid.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure that someday someone will make PMV as awesome as the original Bad Apple.
Hoity Toity!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome video.
@RLXi
ReplyDeleteYeah. I don't really find it as awesome as everyone says it is.
Nicely done even despite the lack of smoothness in the 1st minute
ReplyDeleteSo much win in this area.
ReplyDeleteMy gosh I loved that video! D=
ReplyDeleteLoved the yin-yang part and also Derpy is't on it!! =D!!!!
@dwarfyz
ReplyDeleteDerpy at 2:55-ish
started with applejack...because she is best pony.
ReplyDeleteLoved the bit with the G1 G4 side by side! pretty cool vid.
ReplyDelete@DarthVader
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure, they were concept sketches of Mane Six. RD's cutie mark is different.
And yet again, the fandoms collide. The more crossovers, the better!
This was freaking amazing! Probably one of the best fan vids I've seen. This made me geek a little more each time it showed a character it hadn't already. Damn near had everypony in this thing! You rock! (woohoo)
ReplyDeleteWe should have a contest to remake this in various mediums just like the original!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I was thinking that someone should do this just the other day XD
ReplyDeleteMost of the transitions don't really work, and a lot of it is kind of awkward, but it's still pretty cool.
Reimu at the end made me lol :D.
now to make Cherille's Perfect Math Class.... :<
ReplyDeleteWhat?
ReplyDeleteSlow news day/Seth is still asleep?
I liked it.
ReplyDeleteJust more awesome for 2 already awesome fandoms. My life is near completion.
ReplyDeleteWow, this was awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat's an incredible amount of work for a song that long, even with the jerkiness.
Touhou and MLP... considering the fandoms and even some of the characteristics of the series itself, it makes perfect sense for these two to be crossed over.

At first I found myself with a wide open jaw, awesome flash video, Bravo.
ReplyDeleteWow I just realized how many ponies I can name just by their Cutie Marks...
ReplyDeleteGreat video, but I hope it gets a remake at some point to put the animation on the same tier as the original.
ReplyDeleteIt was... nice. The original video is a lot better though.
ReplyDeleteNot bad! Animating on limited sources.. Yea that's impressive. I also like Bad Apple as well, so.. Horrway! (Is Marisa riding Rainbow Dash?)
ReplyDeleteIt was so close. Could have been better. And it doesn't really compare to the original. It must have taken a long time to make, a lot of hard work, and it was clearly a good concept. But even so...
ReplyDeleteSwing and a miss. Nice try.
Did you know the person (ahem!) who subtitled the video this is a parody of is ALSO a Brony as well as a Touhou fan? ^_^
ReplyDeleteOh, I forgot the most important thing, which is that I freaking love this. Duh.

Weres derby,carrot top,and berry bunch?also great vid by the way
ReplyDeletenever seen the original video... so maybe my vote lacks perspective, but I'm still gonna say this thing looks awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo much ponies.
ReplyDeleteSo much contrast.
So much music.
So much AWESOME.
Not *quite* up to the slickness of the original, but it was clearly TONS of work just to get things as good as this. Bravo!
ReplyDelete(My goodness, if you crammed that percentage of the Touhou cast into a video it'd take like half an hour to play.)
Very cool who was the pony sitting in front of the rectangle recognized all but that one also no derpy :(
ReplyDeleteThat...Was awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt has a kind of charm to it, but once you've seen the original this was based off of, it just doesn't stand up at all.
ReplyDeleteI had to wait for 58 seconds just to get to the part with lyrics. Pretty sure most songs do it faster....not that anything could be done about it, just saying.
