You'd think AJ would be best at being a background pony, what with all the experience she gets... ;)<br /><br />We *surely* have to get an explanation at some point for Celestia and Luna's injuries in the First Discord Era. They didn't put those in just for the sake of it.<br /><br />I have noticed Ink Rose, but haven't seen that much: so much fandom, so little time!Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769758118827489093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-64964186064614618932013-11-25T23:47:20.868+00:002013-11-25T23:47:20.868+00:00Ooh, if you do have time to write a review then I&...Ooh, if you do have time to write a review then I'll be more than interested to see it! You make some very good points right here, though. I *do* have a theory as to what's in the box -- a pure guess, and I won't spoil it here, but I did mention it (under a spoiler-cut) in one of my UKoE posts.Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769758118827489093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-69201099181515345602013-11-25T13:05:37.489+00:002013-11-25T13:05:37.489+00:00loved the review! :3 as ever. My #1 place to go to...loved the review! :3 as ever. My #1 place to go to get UK reviews of the pony eps :D<br /><br />the rest of the mane 6 were a little backgrounded, and AJ tend to come off worst when they're in the background. Flutters can be amusingly cute, Rarity can be amusingly diva-ish, Pinkie can be amusingly silly, even Dash can be amusingly hot-headed (although she can also be seen as a bit brash) but AJ can't seem to get a niche thing so well. <br /><br />I agree that Discord's development was a great feature. Celestia too! Going into the past of the alicorns could be a surprisingly fertile ground for future writing! <br /><br />Speaking of: Have you come across Ink Rose's history of Equestria stuff ( http://www.youtube.com/user/AhsokaAnya?feature=watch )? Probably you have, but if you haven't daaaaamn it's so good!abronymousehttp://ukofequestria.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-56280250837465054852013-11-24T23:30:05.570+00:002013-11-24T23:30:05.570+00:00I'll definitely write a review too when I have...I'll definitely write a review too when I have the time. This was a really enjoyable read, especially as I'd so recently seen the episode, whereas before I was having to skim back a long way to see your reviews. So it's great to see this (very glowing!) review while the episode is so new. :)<br /><br />I'd definitely agree that the animation and the levels of detail has been ramped up another few notches. That was especially noticable (as you say) during the scenes with the stained glass windows and the battles. Also, something I noticed is that the skies seem a lot more detailed than in earlier seasons, Only a small thing admittedley, but the detail (as you can see clearly in your pic above of Discord) is definitely an improvement.<br /><br />On that note I was very glad to see Discord return, but yeah I do hope he isn't in every single episode. He works well because it's a treat when he does turn up, and seeing him too often could water that down. I like that they've made sure to keep him still very mischevious, and considering he's reformed, he really pushes his luck at times. Especially bearing in mind that everything that happened with the Everfree forest was his fault, as it turns out!<br /><br />The battle with Celestia and Nightmare Moon was breathtaking, and That Scene(tm) you showed in a screengrab, of devastated Twilight sitting by Celestia, was utterly heartbreaking. I didn't realise at that point that it was actually a flashback, so I think that was cleverly done.<br /><br />Something you also mentioned, and I'd have to agree totally with, is the point where AJ told Twilight that she should head home. It seemed so out of place and out of character that I was convinced it would turn out that they were all mirages, created by the forest or whatever was causing the trouble. I can kind of see the point the story was making but it seemed a bit clunky. It seems that particular bit could have been handled better.<br /><br />All in all though, it was an outstanding episode and it certainly outshone the opening episodes for S1 and S3, for me. And the way it's been set up to continue that particular story arc as the series progresses... well that should be a fascinating story to say the least! I can't even begin to guess how that will all work out and just what could be in that box!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825456972207959200noreply@blogger.com
