F------ horrible This shows where the "overall" fandom is mentally. It was just so s---, and yet the audience loved it as if their favorite pones came to life and gave them all b------- right there in the theatre, and they j----- cotton candy that they then ate. They have no real commitment to standards or taste with things involving MLP: they are happy enough that something like this merely exists and that's good enough for them. With such a reaction, the bar will remain at the lowest es Storyline is the generic "OH GOD, RD IS SO AWESOME" style. And some of the sound effects are really annoying, espespecially at the beginning. Then maymays... What the f---? Predictable jokes like "Scootaloo is chicken lol" l bet that if you asked those viewers about criticisms/critique of it, you'd be met with a canned response "lay off of it, it's fan-made, it cant be perfect". Which is a b------- hugbox mode, that needs to stop if the fandom is to grow to beyond elaborate circlejerking. This show IS capable of being brought to interesting places. Fan-made visions of the show could can go to heights that the show normally cannot touch... exploring things not fleshed out in the show, plot, language, depth/ intelligence of writing definitely beyond a kid's show... they can go where people only wish the real show can. But nooo, instead we get le maymays fandom circlejerk, and it's going to stay that way from the looks of it. Right now, I'd give it a 4/10 for effort.

Touhou has two separate fan-teams that have made a couple fan-episodes, which were hand drawn to boot (that takes exponentially more time and effort than clicking around in Flash), and manifested thenm from scratch, as Touhou isnt even an anime, so they had to think up how a ton of things work without having a template to copy. Hence Memories of Phantasm felt different from those Maikaze ones. And yet, both of them independently managed to have integrity and avoid being a huge pile of fandom-shoutout crap unlike this brony garbage. That's an example to follow, not more "lol let's make a 30-minute version of typical youtube fanwank IS Way too much time is spent on both expository dialogue/scenes and jokes. The conversations are so rigid and unnatural and the humour is One sequence is RD tearing through the town but the gags they cut to are far too slowly paced and uncreative.

Consider lt Applebloom.jpg)四日 e l Another sequence about Dash and Twi arguing about the dangers of the potion is some of the most awkwardly written and delivered dialogue I have heard ina >she's far dumber, acts like a child, and sounds like a little boy What this project needed was a down to Earth editor who could occasionally slap the creator when he starts doing stupid s---. Like others said, he just couldn't help himself. The word pandering gets thrown around alot but God damn does it fit in this instance uc on I've got to say that this animation, even from seeing it on a damn camera focused on a projector, looks incredible-this guy went all the way. Even some really hard s--- to pull off like fast screen transitions (Rainbow speeding through Ponyville) were done quite well CONSIDER It's a shame that the story and writing couldnt have been as smooth and creative as the animation. Animation is AMAZING in this project.

And, yeah, the troll face would've been fine in a little flash, but giving it a f------ voice and ominous presence? Come on, dude... That's exactly what I thought. Rainbow Dash's dialogue feels more like something Pinkie Pie would say instead. I mean, just imagine Pinkie saying RD's lines, and it fits a whole hell of a lot better The scenes also went on far too f------ long. The clip we saw was essentially a few minutes of story stretched out to 13 mins. It felt awkward, like it was both rushed and dragging at the same time to honest. I'm not entirely sure how to effectively that though. I will give credit towards the animation. The only fan animations that were better were from Jan animations Animation: Hub-Tier, worthy of a real episode Rainbow Dash's voice: Damnit, just damnit Rainbow Dash's character portrayal: What the f---, dude.

If more things had actually happened besides drawn-out conversations and Rainbovw Dash flying, then yes, it wouldn't be so bad. However, Rainbow Dash sounds like a mixture between Scootaloo and Ash Ketchem, Rainbow Dash was written so out of character that it seems like the script was written for Pinkie Pie, and while I usually dont throw a shitfit over referencing memes, some parts were just pure, blatant pandering for the sake of pandering. (Trolface, Snowflake, Scootaloo crashing into chicken sign, etc...) Still better than Friendship is Witchcraft though. The problem is that there is a big lack of content in the episode. Nothing really happens. As a result, the in-jokes and memes has a greater effect on the episode Anonymous 03/23/13(Sat)07:41 No.9288413 Replies: 9299067 Trollface, Scootaloo chicken, Roid Rage, pointlessly long Derpy sequence, Rarity lot due to the lack of content. Twilight hair joke. This may not seem like much in itself, but it feels like a This could have been really good. The animation is fantastic for fan animation and the voices aren't really that bad. The only problem I see, is that the entire clip is non-stop pandering. Insider joke after insider joke. No good c no it's jus ec I actually quite enjoyed Rarity's mane looking like Twilight's. It was a genuinely clever joke to put in there. However, I feel there's too much focus on the jokes The Derpy sequence is the prime example. She's always been a "Where's Waldo?" character with the very occasional (and always very short) scenes (Last Roundup excluded). Giving her such a long sequence is nothing but pandering, and the joke really wasn't that funny p--- movies I'm from the water supplies company. I need to lay a pipe" I agree that if you look the relationship between time and amount of jokes/memes, it doesn't seem to bad. It's when you compare episode content with jokes/memes that it stands out as too much. stwo minutes of dialog to make the sex plausible The same here >"What does it do?" sex Anonymous 03/23/13(Sat)20:46 No.9300111 Replies: 229301048 I made a potion" ex 15 minutes of fanon and insider jokes, (which actually started before the dialog) Double Rainboom is basically Brony porm This isn't minor, in all seriousness l'd try to find people who straight up arent watching it for the memes If he had any pride in making something good, then he'd probably have the balls to go looking for feedback.

Watch Sonic Rainboom with the sound off then watch the Double Rainboom video muted immediately afterward and you'll see some pretty glaring motion and weight issues. Jananimations so far has been about as close to "show accurate" as Ive personally seen so far, and even then his animations seem far too smooth; whereas the show is punchy, yet fluid.

It's got a lower bar to vault, but it doesnt mean it gets very high if it does it and Rainboom I watched that... It was f------ horrible. Padded to hell, s--- voice acting, Le mey-meys XD, sub-par animation, pandering, and overal s--- plot, theme and ideas. That was garbage, but with a title like "Doub-Le' Rainboom" what can you expect? The dialogue in Snowdrop was cringworthy, heavy-handed, and clumsy, and desperately needed someone to smack the writers and tell them to trim the lines. If they had, there might have actually been more room for actual characterization instead of trying to WORDS WORDS WORDS explain things/hammer them into Season 3 actually gave us some good examples here where a visual cue is worth a thousand words- the entire Peewee story told in a few seconds passover of family photos", a moments of Screwloose with the nurse/Cherilee +Big Mac telling more of a story than 5 minutes of talking would. Sometimes, you need to shut up and let the cartoon itself tell the story. Snowdrop missed this almost completely
