I wasn't sure quite what to expect from an episode with that title, apart from the obvious (there was a reasonable chance it was set in Manehattan and would feature Rarity) but after "Suited For Success" and the legendary wedding episodes, there was a strong chance that there would be far more to the episode than just "Rarity makes a bunch of dresses for a show."<br /><br />And I thought it was a really enjoyable episode. There was so much going on, and as you say, some really good, spot-on character studies. I hadn't actually noticed that during the (fantastic) song, Rarity was somewhat laying on her generosity very thick, and on a rewatch of that scene, it does seem very much a case of "look at me, aren't I wonderful!" She did good things and it was generous, but you have to slightly wonder about her motives.<br /><br />Still, it all ended well eventually and although the moral was far from subtle, I think it worked well without being forced. And I'd certainly hope that Coco will be given another chance to appear later on. As for all those little subtle loose ends, that really is intriguing. Goodness knows there's going to be a snowballing amount of guesses and theories about that as the series continues.<br /><br />The actual city was stunning, I thought. The semi-3D effect when the carriage got nearer and nearer, from the horizon, was especially impressive and the buildings were very colourful and imaginative. And a suspension bridge too! :)<br /><br />For me personally, I think this has ever so slightly nudged in front of "Suited For Success" although I still prefer the song from that episode. But all in all, this was a belter! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825456972207959200noreply@blogger.com
