See that guy up there? That's Will freakin' Anderson, and he works at DHX Media. You know, the place where ponies are made. Tell me you've seen a cooler, more badass setup than that. Stop your clicky little keyboards right there, because if you were typing anything just now, you're wrong. This man is so awesome it hurts to even type it.
In case you already knew all that, I have some news about the finale of Season Two straight from this guy:
- The finale is confirmed to be a two-parter.
- The finale will have a song.
- Will Anderson is awesome.
I think I may be repeating myself. I will show myself the door.
Good evening, ponies.

I'm more than jealous.
ReplyDeleteWe bow to you, oh great lord Anderson.
ReplyDeleteAll my yes.
ReplyDeleteThat's... that's all kinds of awesome. Holy crap.
ReplyDeleteTWO PARTEERRRRRRRR YEEEAAAAHHH!!!!
ReplyDeleteBEST. DAY. EVER!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome and hilarious at the same time. It's hilariawesome.
ReplyDeleteIs this... God's avatar on Earth?
ReplyDeleteI agree on everything!
ReplyDelete*GASP* HNNNNNGGGGGGG! William Anderson! Simply epic! This made my very day...I really needed that. Very, very tired indeed.
ReplyDeleteAnd then I was forever in love.
ReplyDeleteAnd, no, the only thing that could make this setup even more awesome is MOAR PONI!
Sweet Celestia I love Will and the MLP team.
Swagtacular
ReplyDeleteJust saw that on his Deviantart page.
ReplyDeleteC'mon, ponies: More people need to do ponysona pictures for him in all his awesomeness!
I agree with the sentiment expressed by Cereal.
ReplyDelete... this guy ... he IS badass.
ReplyDeleteHUZZAH!
ReplyDeleteWilliam Anderson FTW!
OH CELESTIA I am so stoked right now!
ReplyDeleteWill Anderson is now on my list of people to meet.
Rarity is best pony.
That's a pretty awesome set-up and I'm a pretty awesome pony...there's a connection somewhere...Oh right! I'm on his shirt!
ReplyDeleteTwo parter? My heart can't take another pony cliffhanger!!
ReplyDeleteI just blew two holes through my pants. I'll not specify where, or how, but this picture is responsible.
ReplyDeleteIf the two parter includes Cadence and Shining Armor, that probably means something very important, and awesome, is going to happen with them.
ReplyDeleteHAHA! THE FUN HAS BEEN DOUBLED!
ReplyDeleteWill Anderson is clearly best pony.
ReplyDeleteHe has a nice skull collection going on there.
ReplyDeleteWhile you're at it, can you guys please post this journal link in that post? It shows an insight of how he works on the show; particularly, his working on the last 2 episodes of Season 2:
ReplyDeletehttp://willheim.deviantart.com/journal/spotting-285217809
I want his job. Of course, I want the ability to actually DO his job first. Not happening anytime soon, I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteA two parter AND a song? Could this get any better?
ReplyDeleteAlthough it is an impressive setup I bet you've never been to r/battlestations have you?
ReplyDeletehttp://en.reddit.com/r/battlestations/top/
My body is not ready.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap, tat's some awesome piece of news you got to us.
ReplyDeleteMy bows to the man. He really is awesome. No doubt about that.
I sometimes wonder if fandoms from other shows actually give a crap about the people who make it. Seriously, it seems that not much people aknowledge their efforts.
Also, lol at the tag.
>William Anderson is awesome
ReplyDeleteWas this ever even in question? Or as the also Great and Powerful Trixie would put it; "Was there ever any doubt?" lol And of course it's a badass setup. It's a professional studio, Cereal. Lmao. But the Brony shirt and FiM opening scene and logo on the screen does add a certain touch of fabulous to the equation. ;) I also find it funny just by looking at them I know most all that equipment's makes and models.
Also, yay on a two-parter finale and song!
Two parter huh? INCOMING EPIC PONY TIME! Oh, if only those theories about Discord being behind the love poison recipe which brought about his reign in the first place and "hearts and hooves day" being a big foreshadow to the finale, up to and including a Discord return, could turn out to be true...
ReplyDeletetwo parter... song...?
ReplyDeleteexcuse me while i try to get my heart to work again
Like a fucking boss.
ReplyDeleteWell, as Fluttershy said during the Best Young Fliers competition, "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Gosh, can these guys get any more awesome?! This is gonna be the season finale to end ALL season finales. They clearly want to end the season with a bang. I'd say they're gonna end it with an atomic explosion of epicness. It's gonna be a long, arduous wait for these two episodes, but I think it's safe to say it's gonna be so worth it.
ReplyDeleteYES! The finals going to be a two parter and theres a song! This here just made my day!
ReplyDeleteHERE WE GO
ReplyDeleteTHEM TAGS.
ReplyDeleteGod Cereal, you are a fangirl I swear xD
Loved the post though, Seth let Cereal post more often c'mooooon~
As for the news, was there ever any doubt? Two Parters are awesome. AND songs are awesome. Hell yeh!
MY MIND HAS BEEN BLOWN.
ReplyDeleteSETH, YOU'LL BE GETTING THE CLEANING BILL.
That man is indeed pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteNow, I don't want to be greedy, but "The Best Night Ever" had the outstanding "At the Gala" song plus 2 Pinkie Pie songs... so it's going to be hard to match.
I'm looking forward to seeing them do it though.
mlp needs moar spirit of chaos and disharmony stat!
ReplyDelete>William Anderson
ReplyDeleteThis guy, this fuckin' guy right here.
Can't wait for the next installment!
He looks nothing like the William Anderson I'd imagined. He looks positively badass. (And younger, because stereotypes.)
ReplyDelete"See that skull in the left? That's real. Someone gave it to me."
He's so freakin' awesome.
I mean.
Shit.
This is going to be awesome. Best crew ever.
ReplyDeleteWill Anderson could kill Chuck Norris by LOOKING at him.
ReplyDeleteBwahaha! Everything about this is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteWe've had our eye on you for some time now, Mr. Anderson..."
ReplyDeleteMy (rather uneducated) guesses? The two-parter will be episodes 27 and 28, and will be the Cadence/Shining Armor episode(s) that has been hinted on. Why 27-28? Because I seem to recall there being a rumor about S2 being 28 episodes instead of the 26 in S1 (there was a posting here some months ago about a visit to a local Hasbro, I think Italy?). Also, the timing of the Cadence/Shining Armor episode(s) has been shifted around a bit as of late, from fall to spring.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I could be completely wrong, but those are my thoughts.
Love how there are ponies on the right and a human skull on the left.
ReplyDeleteWill Anderson is best pony, period.
ReplyDeleteThat is a impressive battlestation.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I will never be FIRST...
Im wearing a brony shirt too.
ReplyDeletethis guy is boss
Correction, Will Anderson is best Brony!
ReplyDeletehis headphones are slightly nicer than mine. I should upgrade to at least Pony sound level.
ReplyDeleteSO MUCH PONY SWAG
ReplyDeletei want that job
ReplyDeleteum like a faust much?
ReplyDeleteThere's a Macbeth joke just waiting to be told from that pic.
ReplyDeleteConfound these ponies, the keep making me have new "Best Day Ever" moments.
ReplyDeleteA 2-part finale, Will Anderson, a song in finale, Will Anderson, and Will Anderson? Wow, this is looking hype
ReplyDeleteI Hope he doesn't get in trouble for sharing that information.
ReplyDeletethat top screen seems to say that frame is from episode 14. no reason to be working on an ep that has already been aired though, so that means it is possibly a frame from season 3 ep 14.
ReplyDeleteall we know officially is that season 3 has only been approved for 13 eps. if this is indeed ep 14 from season 3, then that means this is evidence that season 3 got approved for a full third season.
Damn straight.
ReplyDeleteManly Men=Ponies
ReplyDeletePonies=Will Anderson
Manly Man=Will Anderson
@Adrian Brony
ReplyDeleteThat, or it could be an old picture from before episode 14 of season 2 was finished.
But I'm hoping for yours.
Jesus Christ. He has a freaking skull on his work desk. I don't care what people say, but having a murderer working on a little girl's show says a lot about how hardcore the crew is.
ReplyDelete@Adrian Brony
ReplyDeleteColor me intrigued if that is what that 14 means. Hard to be certain, as it's just a number, but man, if that's the case, then considerable win.
I supposed only time will tell though.
I'm ready to wait an incredible episode
ReplyDeleteAwesome is the...only way he could explain to his family and friends that his job is to do stuff to make girly ponies dance across the screen...LIKE A BAWS! Deep down inside I think FIM is a little brother's revenge fantasy on their older sister who used to force them to play ponies with them as little children.
ReplyDeleteWith a motherfucking skull on his desk.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's that. Every badass in the world can now rest, as this man has clearly won.
That timer says 1:51 (or 41, can't tell).
ReplyDeleteLast Roundup shows that screen at 1:45.
That's quite a few seconds difference. On the other hand, if he's working on season 2 episodes right now, why would he have season 3 ones open?
We see Avenged Sevenfold in pony gear, and that picture will look like a puppy.
ReplyDeleteFor now, badass.
@jessewq
ReplyDeleteAccording to Will: "The skull came from an interior designer who was doing some stuff in my house - it just appeared in my studio one day. I wondered where it came from and then he copped to having left it there - he said he had had it for awhile and didn't know quite what to do with it, but when he saw my cave he felt it wanted to be here. So he just left it there. Later he told me it was real. It was a gift, I didn't pay anything for it."
El tiempo que sea necesario/the time that is necessary
ReplyDeletetwo-part finale holy fucking balls
ReplyDeleteI had a sudden flash in my mind that replaced the room and equipment with the Oval Office while keeping that same pose. Perfection.
ReplyDeleteBut why would you tell me to stop typing when I was only going to agree with you, Cereal? :(
ReplyDelete@Worsh I'm with you on the two-parter most likely being the aforementioned episodes 27-28 (as well as it being focused on the Cadence/Shining Armor).
ReplyDeleteOf course, now that I think about it, why do I have a feeling that the cliffhanger moment will involve Candence being kidnapped by "Tooth Decay"?
Two part finale? Most excellent! That should mean a more in depth story. Hope season 3 opens with a two parter as well. This is gonna be so awesome!
ReplyDeletehe said the first part of the finale is episode 25...
ReplyDeleteDamn, son. That setup is pretty awesome. So is Will Anderson apparently
ReplyDelete2 parter, eh? this is gonna be interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt's a real skull? More badass!
ReplyDeleteThrow up the horns!
ReplyDelete\m/
Cereal's got a bromance!
ReplyDeleteCereals' got a bromance!
tee hee
Oooh comments. Let me get in on this *ahem*. Im saying WHOOOOOOO TWO PARTER. im thinking : crap, unless they release them at the same time we're gunna have a cliffhanger. CRAP! though the song will be interesting...

ReplyDeleteWell damn. I didnt even.get to read that before you or s mod removed
ReplyDelete2-Part. Finale.
ReplyDeleteI actually caved in and made a Blogger account because I desperately wanted to say how incredible this is.
Also epic Will Anderson makes everything amazing.
Honestly, if the finale is anything like the previous one, ill be happy!
ReplyDeleteI see Will is no mere composer. Judging by the appearance of Bob, residing in the skull on his desk there, we can deduce that Mr. Anderson is actually a wizard. An audio wizard.
ReplyDeleteLame, obscure Dresden Files reference there. Hey, it's been crossed over with MLP several times already. Stop looking at me like that!
In before Fox news with a report of how satanic cults make MLP:FIM.
ReplyDelete@adrian brony
ReplyDeletewhat would you think?ponies will get so much seasons!
Ooh how many bronies got converted after 2011? This should be fun. If anyone reads this, that is. Or bothers to reply
ReplyDelete@macrosaur
ReplyDeleteread the dresdon fillies. SO. GOOD! also any dresden referance is a GOOD reference
So..../)
ReplyDeletedont leave me hangin'
I spy a rainbow dash wallpaper there!
ReplyDeleteWorking on MLP = Confirmed for most badass job possible.
ReplyDelete@shutterclick brony
ReplyDeletethank you, you may have a cookie. Ine of your own cookies that is. If you have any ;p i dont. Also nice name
That is mother flipping boss. So much awesome I can barely handle it!
ReplyDeleteAlso he has a skull. You do not mess with Will Anderson.
ReplyDelete^ agreed
ReplyDelete2-parter... new villain? conflicts between characters?
ReplyDeletetwilightyes.gif
ReplyDeleteSo a 2-parter and a song....YES, YES! This is delicious!
ReplyDeleteWill the song be in part one or part two? Or perhaps is spans into both parts?
ReplyDeleteHopefully a discord reapearance as a cameo or somthing. i hope this time they dont use the elements for the 3rd time.
ReplyDeleteDOUBLE EPISODE POWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
ReplyDeleteCool, two-parter AND a song, awesome!
ReplyDeleteI own that shirt too!
ReplyDeleteOi! I got left hangin! Anypony ELSE want a brohoof? /)
ReplyDelete@duskwisp

@renk
ReplyDeletewair. Is that a scott pilgrim profile picture? WIN!¡¡
0.0 My body was not prepared for the awesome Cereal! A two part finale with song! AWWWW YEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! I can't wait, but let's not get to the end of the season too soon! I really don't need that kind of separation all too soon.
ReplyDeletethis guy is just superultraextremeawesomazing!
ReplyDeletealso, I want a skull too D:
@ombutesentdin
ReplyDeleteLEGEND
Man, now I like my job even less. Way to go Cereal!
ReplyDeleteHype has been got.
ReplyDelete@ShakeNDake
ReplyDeleteheh, its gunna be at least ep25 or after. Dont worry yer whooves off!
Swag.
ReplyDeleteThat is all.
That is a pretty cool set-up... but I've seen cooler >.>
ReplyDeletegood to hear
ReplyDelete@micheal butcher
ReplyDeleteorly? How cool? 20% cooler?
Also.if i were you i wouldnt make my acciunt name my actual name
*reads post
ReplyDelete*types ctrl+f --> chuck norris
o internet, you never disappoint me XD.
So, uh, Will Anderson is basically Hiro Protagonist except a musician instead of a pizza delivery guy.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool.
I hope this show runs for many, many long years, much like one of my other favorite childhood shows, Arthur, which I still watch to this day.
ReplyDeleteThe only appropriate response:
ReplyDelete*epic brohoof*
This guy is legend
ReplyDelete^who was that too?
ReplyDeleteAlrught chas, mid yer language. There's a mod on th' prowl
The human skull on the desk really makes that setup.
ReplyDeleteWhat a badass! William Anderson, you are best brony
ReplyDeleteWhen I grow up, I want to be like Will Anderson.
ReplyDeleteWords, they are lost.
ReplyDeleteAT LAST! COMMENTS! now i have an exuse to post some moar.
ReplyDelete*brohoof...universe explodes*
ReplyDelete...is that a Line6 POD? I didn't know those still existed.
ReplyDeleteMr. Anderson, you are indeed awesome.
BUCK YEAH!!! Day just got 20% cooler. /11:11 swag
ReplyDeleteWhere exactly did he say there would be a song in the finale?
ReplyDeleteAnd awesomeness ensued...
ReplyDeleteAnd he also has a Brony t-shirt. AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteThose headphones he has on the desk are hella pricy. That gets plus fifteen #SWAG.
ReplyDeleteOH SHIT, SUN GODDESS
ReplyDeleteThis info didn't come from a tweet or something? Based Anderson just straight up sent you an email? I just love that that can happen. MLP staff, you know you are our very best friends.
(Also NEW VILLAIN INCOMING)
Wish my computer set up was half as amazing as his... Also I need to get myself pony clothes. It's been too long. Far too long. To not have clothing... of ponies. :Ic
ReplyDeleteThat fella is cool.
Season two finale being musical and two-parts is amazing.
ponies so gooood.
such a nice setup
ReplyDeleteIt's always awesome to read about the creative process behind something as good as MLP:FiM. My favorite parts of Disney DVDs are the behind-the-scenes parts, where we're shown how scripts and ideas and characters and music for a given Disney movie are developed. I wish MLP:FiM would get a similar treatment in any upcoming DVDS. Soooo want that.
ReplyDeletethis is TOO badass, I can't really handle it all at once.
ReplyDelete...that picture is the most awesome thing I have ever seen. My theory is, William Anderson is too amazing to exist in our plane of existance and is probably some sort of future species made out of pure awesomeness that has travelled through time and dimensions to grace our time and place with his presence.
ReplyDelete2 parts, song, NEW VILLAIN, NEW ALICORN PRINCESS. Fandom tsunami warning!
ReplyDeleteJust the sight of that mixer made me orgasm.
ReplyDeleteI'm suing this website for the death of "Rinzuul" he suffered immediate cardiac arrest upon laying eyes on the picture at the top of this page, sources dictating that it was "too awesome for his little heart to handle."
ReplyDeleteI haven't looked at it yet, suppose I should take a lo
I've seen a more badass setup, but it was the Fall 1998 Tokyo Game Show, and... well, even I can't compete with that. Despite that, it's still over 9000 nanoLees on the badass scale.
ReplyDeleteVery bucking metal bro, very bucking metal.
ReplyDeleteMR. ANDERSON! -agent takes off shades- Hoofeus tells me your the one. But how can you make more poni poni poni if we take all your friendship?!?! -anderson sits up straight- first...im gona give you one of these... -flips off agent- then im going to take my phone, and leave.
ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteThis will be so epic!
Well, the last time we had a song in a season finale, we got "At the Gala," so my money says we're in for quite a ride.
ReplyDelete@Senior Waffles I hope the season 3 opening will be a 2 part too.
ReplyDeleteI think it will be some badass opening.
I can already feel the cliffhanger devouring my life.
ReplyDeleteWill Anderson is a pretty cool guy. eh writes music for DHX and doesn't afraid of anything.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit. Will Anderson's awesomeness just blew me away.
ReplyDelete@Bolan In last episode the CMC talked about a dragon.
ReplyDeleteMaybe one of the dragons returns.

ReplyDelete"The finale is confirmed to be a two-parter."
ReplyDeleteFigured
"The finale will have a song."
Oooh sweet.
a song !? YESYESYES
ReplyDelete@Jordan Can't find it either. Maybe someone derped William for Daniel?
ReplyDeleteNow THAT'S bawsslike!
ReplyDeleteHmm. MLP is playing in the top-right corner. There is a human skull in the bottom-left corner. There may be some discrepancy there.
ReplyDeleteThe finale is a two parter, with a song?! Life = made. So excited for this!
ReplyDeleteI think there gonna be cruel by making part one the finale and part 2 is the start of season 3
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing an older mixer (could be a Soundcraft), what looks like either a Behringer or Presonus in the rack, and an unidentified pre-amp on the desk. Still, he's got a badass mic, some decent studio monitors, and a Korg M3 on his desk, so it can't be all bad. I would be lucky to have a setup like that.
ReplyDelete@OtterMatt
ReplyDeleteHow much do you want to bet that what he uses are the Avantones? ;)
Was there really any doubt?
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteThough I was in the impression the finale would be a three-parter
Oh well, STILL AWESOME!!!
uh, that's an api 1608, serial number 100, which is not old! in fact foo fighters used the same board for their new album. it cost me a small fortune. you might want to google it, and the berringer thing is an extra headphone amp,doesnt get used anymore. the rack stuff if hi end botique, ua la2, 1176, pendelum 6386 which is like a fairchild 670, the mic in the picture is an akg c12 vr, which just happens to be up, the mic pres are original vintage neve 1064's, there is a closet you don't see with 8 computers and a bunch of other audio stuff, it has its own air conditioner with a hospital grade fillter on it....i have a lot of other great outboard gear, vintage mics, custom guitars, etc. i love gear.
ReplyDeleteand i LOVE those avantones. the other speakers are k&h 0300's, and i have a pair of yamaha ns 10's and then a four dollar pair of crap computer speakers. it's good to check your mixes on a lot of systems....
ReplyDelete...
ReplyDeleteThe first twoparter: Twilight makes some friends, frees her teacher's sister from the jealousy consuming her
The second twoparter: Twilight and friends fight and (eventually) defeat an ancient god of chaos
so, twoparter = awesome
the first season end: Twilight and co liven up a party in the most awesome way possible
so, end of season = awesome
I am conflicted now, on one hand I cannot wait until the end of the season, on the other hand I don't want this season to ever end.
Will Anderson is best pony... Sorry, I had to do it.
ReplyDeleteTwo parter? With a song? Epic Will?
ReplyDeleteHOLY MOTHER OF CELESTIA I AM SO HAPPY
Two two-parters in a single season? Awesome! And that Will Anderson guy seems to be pretty awesome as well. Must be that best pony shirt he's wearing.
ReplyDeleteI really hope we get to see discord again sometime
ReplyDeleteSo... who's Daniel Ingram again?
ReplyDeleteWILL FUCKING ANDERSON!!!!!! <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteThe two parter is prabably the wedding and wedding song :p
ReplyDeleteWILL FUCKING ANDERSON!!!!!! <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteTWO-PARTER!!!! This is gonna be awesome I'm now actually looking forward to the finale, only to then be sad again when I realize no more new episodes until the fall. Luckily the Eureka 7 sequel will soften the blow.
ReplyDelete@Runeyshade One part for the song, one part for the wedding? ;D I'm hoping that this is actually going to set up a season finale cliff-hanger for the start of Season 3! They must know if they do that, they'll have us hooked harder on Pony than an addict on heroin! WE'LL SELL OUR INTERNAL ORGANS FOR MORE PONY AFTER THAT!!!
ReplyDelete*imagines comic ideas based on this theme... the Pony black market... Pony drug gangs... the FBI trying to stop Pony smuggled across the Canadian border... PWS: POny Withdrawal Syndrome* This idea... it's a comic gold-mine! :O
An Awesome Surprise that wowed us Bronies!!!! ^_^
ReplyDeleteA final at the Phineas & Ferb style 2nd season style?
ReplyDeleteIts Welcome! :)
My apartment is sad compared to this guy's office. Three screens + crazy audio mixer thingy? Le swag.
ReplyDeletebut the details define this to be "THE" finale
ReplyDeleteas in a slight confirmation that FiM might be over :(
Please let it not be so :(
Two part finale?! O_O
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping that Discord returns.
ReplyDelete"Ponies and Discord have to combine their powers to battle bigger evil that threatens Equestria."
Maybe?
Wow thats awesome.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a sweet set-up.
ReplyDelete(Now if I only knew what it all did.)
I want his job. LOL. I'm just happy to see he loves what he does. Wish we all can have a job like that...
ReplyDeleteCan you feel it, Mr. Anderson? Bronies closing in on you? Oh I can, I really should thank you after all. It was, after all, it was your life that taught me the purpose of all life. The purpose of life is to watch ponies.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm done.
Will Anderson confirmed for badass indeed.
ReplyDelete
