A few people have requested a dedicated post to discuss the announced season opener, and I think that's a great idea. We've got a pretty heavy hitting synopsis on this one outside of the trailer this morning. Head on down below the break for it and discuss away!
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Season 9 Episode 1 & 2 Synopsis:
In the back-to-back season premiere episodes, titled "The Beginning of the End," Princess Celestia and Princess Luna decide to retire and hand off the ruling of Equestria to Twilight Sparkle and her friends, which sends Twilight into a tailspin of self-doubt. Meanwhile, an ancient villain bands together a legion of nefarious characters to conquer all of Equestria, challenging Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the Mane 6 to step in and save the day.
