Van Cruncheon came "out of the stable" as a brony today on Facebook. He should change his avatar and CLOP LOUD, CLOP PROUD here on the Bore.

This post isn't wrong.

However, it doesn't get much further than that. It's written for an even younger audience than Faust's other series and it shows. PPG was way better, Foster's was way better.

The cult around the show is entirely undeserved (and when I say that, I mean in a "that 8 year old's cancer is entirely undeserved" kind of way), and would be perplexing to me if I hadn't realized the countercultural "fuck you if you don't accept us!" aspects a while ago.

I've been watching Junichi Sato's post-Sailor Moon magical girl show, Ojamajo Doremi, which cranks up the cutesyness to 11:

I don't even think they fight anybody, they just use their magic for hilarious hijinks purposes like "Oh, the one girl's dad can't make it to Parent's Day at school because he has to work, so let's make a clone of him with magic! Surely this can't backfire in any way!"

If only everyone kept their mouth shut at first and let dudes watch their ponies, then the "im a nerd that needs to feel persecuted and part of a movement" crowd wouldn't have taken over and created the brony mess we have now. without that, the fandom wouldn't have gotten much larger than any other "adults can watch this too" cartoon.

MLP is good, but there are parts of the Brony subculture that really ruin it, like the clopping part and stuff. 

Speaking of, new indefensible option.  Make someone play Banned from Equestria.  It's a MLP based "dating sim" where you just try to fuck as many ponies as you can.

Post by: Himu on September 15, 2013, 03:43:23 AM
So I'm like half way through season 1.

I guess I could do a mini review. It takes the age old 22 minute cartoon block of each episode being a self contained subject and I think it rolls with it. Whereas most 22 minute cartoons of this nature tend to be separated into two halves, MLP does a great job by making each episode a whole. Characters stand out a lot this way. Honestly, the pony thing is the last thing I like about it. I mean, there's the occasional moment when it can be cute as fuck but it'd be just as cute if they were humans and I'd get the same enjoyment out of it.

I think the best thing I can say about Friendship Is Magic is how well written the secondary cast is. Typically in cartoons, they focus around a central cast of characters and the show never really goes beyond that, but MLP: FIM does a bit more than that, and reminds me of The Simpsons in a way. Much like how The Simpsons is about The Simpsons, but slowly expands towards the town of Springfield and its denizens, My Little Pony does a great job giving you a reason to care about the pony folk of Ponyville. It's well written for a kids show, and it definitely treats its audience with a modicum of respect.

The show continues to wow me visually. The animation is AAA and you can feel the love in it. There are some shots I'd re-do in a different way, that I think clash with the aesthetic, but it's still really good. Fucking Canadians, man. Great facial reactions in this fucking show. Pinkie's reaction at 00:03:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axbU7kzWMqQ

is :lawd

Not gonna buy me a pony toy, or some shit, but I definitely like the show. Can't wait fer more!

Honestly, I'm sitting here in the middle of a bunch of bullshit here. The haters look as stupid and moronic as the guys buying the toys and calling themselves "bronies" imo. Don't care, just wanna enjoy a fun cartoon and enjoy it for what it is and appreciate the craft of a storytelling medium I thoroughly enjoy.

And for the sake of brevity:

TBH, I don't really hate any of them.  Pinkie takes things to an extreme too much, and Twilight really does just try too hard sometimes. 

There really are some GREAT Fluttershy moments in S2 and S3 (Putting Your Hoof Down, Hurricane Fluttershy, Keep Calm and Flutter On).  Being the kid that never really felt like he had a place in school, and always being rather shy, I get feels from the persona.  If you don't cry during Hurricane Fluttershy, I don't even wanna talk to you.

Being said, she's not my favorite.  RBD is, cause she's a boss.  Luna's probably my second favorite (you'll be seeing more of her if you haven't yet).

Applejack's my least favorite, though that's just probably because of the accent that I hear all day err day.  And Rarity's kind of a bitch.

Keep powering through.  A lot of people didn't like S2, because it took a little turn towards brony fanservice, but I thought that more pop culture references were fucking rad.  And S3 is a little left field, but still good. 


Just whatever you do, stay the FUCK AWAY from Equestria Girls.  It's not even that bad of a movie, but ponies humanized  :kobeyuck    :holeup

Nah. Its not like himu would ever take something like a hobby or interest too far and turn it into a lifestyle.


:neogaf

I don't do this. I like to draw but I never call myself an artist, for instance. For some reason it annoys me when I am on facebook and some dude talks about how much of an artist he is and he only ever posts the same shit: random character sketch with no detail and no background. :sabu

And I like all sorts of music but don't make it a part of my identity like a punker or metal head or some shit. It is very possible to line something and not turn it into a piece of your identity. The whole brony movement bewilders me. I like anime and haven't been to an anime con in almost ten years. I stopped being interested in making things I like into important pieces of my identity when I was a teenager. Like, when I pre ordered GTAV at gamestop they gave me this lame-o poster and I told them to keep that shit. :gladbron that is not going up anywhere in my house. :sabu At Diablo III launch I won this giant ass Diablo display stand and like, I immediately gave it to the dude who wanted it most. Keep that shit, breh. :sabu

How the fuck was this show animated in Flash, I don't get it. HOW.

No shit Flash is common, dork. But the animation is absolutely great in some areas that I'm shocked it's flash. Also the animation in Archer is terrible. :what

Ankama Animation has been producing a French-language cartoon series based on the video game by the same name. The first season of 26 episodes began airing on 30 October 2008, and new episodes will continue to air into January 2010 on France 3. The show is animated with Adobe Flash software; all the production is done in France except the episode 22 "Rubilax" and the special episode "Noximilien", both produced in Japan.

NO FUCKING WAY.  WOW. :bow

My favorite part of that Wakfu shit is the lining. WOW. It almost nails the look of cel animation. The line work is particularly excellent when taken into the account that it's flash, which often has thick outlines and characters that stand out too much. Just fantastic work all around.

Is Sunny bad now? Last I really watched was... season 7? Which was amazing and probably my favorite season yet. Jersey Shore ep is my favorite ep, fat Mac was great, and part 1 of the finale was god-tier (part 2 was a letdown, though.)

Haven't seen s8 outside of the Wedding Massacre which was passable.

I haven't watched Sunny in a couple seasons- that show has largely lost it's appeal.  Every year they'll have one or two good episodes still, and when everybody I know that still watches is buzzing about an episode, I'll check that one out.

I just don't think the marginal drop off in Archer S4 is as big as you're making it out to be.

Sunny lost if its luster in season 4 maybe 5. Archer is similar for me. Sure, it isn't terrible. It is even good. But it is wholly inconsistent in quality compared to earlier seasons and some episodes flat out bug me where I'd have entire episodes where the best I could muster was chuckle. Shame because I love the earlier seasons. I may give season 5 a chance, who knows.

So far it's animated well and it's got personality and is written pretty well.

Himu no, at least watch some magical girl anime or something so you can be like "It's from a superior culture you don't understand, baka gaijin!"

I need to finish watching Sailor Moon. Thanks for reminding me. Can't wait for the new one.

I've been watching Junichi Sato's post-Sailor Moon magical girl show, Ojamajo Doremi, which cranks up the cutesyness to 11:

I don't even think they fight anybody, they just use their magic for hilarious hijinks purposes like "Oh, the one girl's dad can't make it to Parent's Day at school because he has to work, so let's make a clone of him with magic! Surely this can't backfire in any way!"

Oh hey joe, talking to hito now and yeah he said this is it, haha. I'll watch after I finish Sailor Moon haha.

Post by: Himu on September 16, 2013, 01:53:47 AM
Honestly, Jaybo, I think this thread is a great case study. I'm starting to understand why a culture enveloped around this show. It's because it's literally impossible to discuss it anywhere without people devolving into babies and crying that you like it and judging you. Which forces you to only talk about the show in the presence of other fans, hence the brony bubble.

It's a self fulfilling prophecy: the people who hate the show basically make the culture around the show tighter because they judge people who watch it. This makes the people who like the show even more annoying in the eyes of those who don't, and the lack of conversation reinforces all the things they think about the people who watch it.

It's pretty interesting psychology.

In other words, no one would give a fuck if people who didn't like the show would shut the fuck up and let people enjoy their pony show but :yeshrug gotta act hard because we're "men". lol

I disagree with a lot of that. I don't see any difference between it and Powerpuff Girls. In PPG, you've got the tom boy one, the cute one, the leader one. They save the day, they go to school, shit happens every episode, rinse. There goes your tropes you're talking about.

This is Powerpuff Girls' pilot episode as seen on What A Cartoon Show.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El-_AyIWEio

In what way, in terms of content, writing, and characterization, is it any different than MLP: FIM?

I'm also not understanding the glorified toy commercial thing, and Hasbro has even admitted that the audience for the show is beyond the little girl bracket. Many people older than that like it.

One instance:
Himu don't read, spoiler.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Hurricane Fluttershy:
In this ep, all the pegasus ponies are trying to get together to set a record for collecting rainwater for the weather production facility in Cloudsdale.  Fluttershy tries to get out of helping, because she is not a very strong flyer, and doesn't think she can be of any help.  When she was younger, she was constantly ridiculed for being such a poor flyer ("Fluttershy, fluttershy, she can barely fly" the kids would chant at her).  Towards the end of the episode, some of the pegasi get sick and cannot help, and they can barely complete the task, much less set any records.  Fluttershy sees that her friends are in trouble and need her help, and even though she has a huge fear of flying in front of the others, she does it, she conquers her fears and they complete the task thanks to her. 

I don't know about you guys, but there's been plenty of things that I was made fun of when I was a kid for, and it's seriously impacted my life.  I couldn't help but feel for Fluttershy as she's being made fun of.  When she hides to get away from people seeing her fly, I know that feeling.  When her wingpower is tested, and even the person doing the testing is making negative comments, I know that feel.  It isn't easy being odd man out when everyone else is achieving.   The scene where she is able to face her fears and break through really speaks to me.
[close]

Every single episode, even the shit ones (like the Cutie Mark Crusaders episodes, fuck that shit) have something that they can teach.  And some of them really drive it home with some seriously powerful scenes.

Well animated? Not very, it's decent at best.

I think you have a limited idea of what good animation is.

Good animation is about smoothness, and being able to convey emotion from real life to a deformed object which allows empathy and relatability in their mannerisms. For this reason, MLP: FIM is extremely well animated. They've been able to express about every single emotion in a very good manner in this show so far.

For reference:

(http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0upescDtP1rqfhi2o1_500.gif)

This is well animated because it's a natural look that slightly humanizes a pair of lion cubs. It makes them relatable in a way they normally wouldn't be. It's nothing extravagant, but it's the bread and butter of animation. Animation is about expression:

(http://i.imgur.com/oE4xEVp.gif)

Compared to say, Regular Show.

(http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpuiy2PB5p1qlsz95o1_500.gif)

This is...very basic. And it's not trying to do much more than that.

But Friendship Is Magic? The characters are highly expressive.

If you don't find MLP: FIM animated well you must not have much knowledge about the craft. Compared to most other Flash efforts that take up the tv waves, it's very impressive work. Not as good as Waqfu but still damn good

I've never heard anyone deny MLP is well animated, outside of Wrath. It's a well done show, I think you can give it that without your dick falling off.

It's not a bad show. Personally I just find it laughable that grown men discuss learning life lessons (that they probably learned 10-20 years ago) from it.

Something something comment about how someone with a learning disability would never like something else other than My Little Pony or something. 

Goin' to bed.  Just watched Hurricane Fluttershy again.  Still good.

From what I've seen the show blatantly skews towards the bronies in later episodes. And yes some of it is eyerollingly bad. I'm fine with an Animaniacs type approach where the show has jokes a kid wouldn't "get" until they grew up, but there's a difference between inside jokes and pandering IMO.

interestingly...I have two little cousins who watch it, little boy and little girl. The boy is still super into the show whereas I can tell my girl cousin is starting to lose interest. You can definitely see the more male focus of the show now.

I always assumed that bronies enjoyed My Little Pony ironically, or with a bit of detachment... but this thread has made it clear that the emotional lessons of a show aimed at 6-year-old girls are actually being enjoyed and in fact taken to heart by grown men without a single BIT of irony.

In retrospect, this makes a lot of sense.

If it isn't contrarianism, it's probably for a sense of belonging.  In this thread we saw Himur0x become a brony for both of those reasons.

The New Lunar Republic will rise from the ashes of Equestria, much like the dictator "Princess" Celestia claims to have done.  No longer will ponies be held under the hoof of this facist.  The Solar Empire would claim that our Princess Luna would bring nighttime eternal, but fear not, as this is simply propaganda.  Our Princess Luna simply wishes to free everypony from the slavery that "princess" Celestia fights so hard to keep.  She may have some ponies fooled, but she will not win this war. 

Down with Celestia!

Princess Luna will rise!

Some of the kids in my class have been playing this game called "Clop" which is a game where you make a horse run by controlling each of it's legs independently, and the object is to get as far as you can before the horse inevitably falls over and breaks all it's legs and dies. A fine educational game, IMO.

Well yesterday one of my students came up to me before class and was like "Hey, you know that game 'Clop'?" and I was like "Yeah, the horse game?" and he was like "I was going to look up some pictures from it from Google....don't do that. It's not good."

And so I patted him on the head, apologized for the sins that my generation has committed, and told him maybe he should just stick to Cookie Clicker.
