The animation in these maritime sequences was really nice |

Articles of Destroyer – mixed (rated 5.5/10; "an entertaining episode, but not a greatly written one")
Batbrony Reviews – fairly positive ("despite pacing and conflict issues, this was an enjoyable enough of an episode")
Derpy News – positive (graded A-; "another good episode even though the reason for the boat capsizing comes from nowhere")
Louder Yay – mixed (three stars; Arrplejack good, bunyip annoying)
MLEEP Reviews – moderately positive (rated 7/10; "predictable...but it is still an entertaining episode")
The Railfan Brony Blog – negative (rated 3/10; "feels like yet another sign that [FiM has] gone on far too long...")
The Super Mario Brony Blog – negative (one and a half stars; "poorly done moral, predictable and cliched storytelling")

Thrond Media Pony Corner – very negative (rated 43%; "implies nothing so much as a show which is completely and utterly out of ideas")
I realize I need to start reading these roundups more. I'm ashamed to say I usually skip them, but they're incredibly informative. c.c;
ReplyDeleteThanks! I certainly plan to continue with these for S7, and quite possibly for EqG as well. I'll probably do one for Legend of Everfree after the UK release (15/10) at any rate.
DeleteAlso, I don't think anyone else does them, they fill up space in the blog, EQD concentrates on video reviews and they're pretty quick to do. So yep, definitely sticking with them. :)
