Be honest. How much of the show have you actually watched?

>>42359693 (OP)
Up to early S3.

>>42359693 (OP)
All of it.

I'm almost done with S4, gonna hopefully get through the whole show in the next year or so.

>>42359693 (OP)
All of it. And I WISH I didn't. Now I can't erase this atrocity from my memory. I should've dropped it at least after S5.

>>42359693 (OP)
Still haven't watched a lot of S8 & S9 episodes. Seen everything else multiple times. Perhaps too many times...

>>42359693 (OP)
All of it, every single one. The show movie spin offs spin offs specials show specials minisodes promo specials post show

All three seasons and I think most of S4.
Show started to change a lot and I kinda lost interest because of that plus RL shit

>>42359693 (OP)
how much have YOU watched

>>42359693 (OP)
I watched like halfway through season 7 before dropping it.

>>42359716
I'm mid-way through S4. I drifted away at some point in S3 at the time of airing and I started watching from the start when I got back into it. No binge-watching, though. I've been doing a few episodes a week and letting the mares marinate in my brain.

>>42359693 (OP)
I've always known of mlp and watched some episode sporadically but never actually gave it a real shot. Only recently I've decided that before I die I have to watch the show for it's entirety. I'm now at episode 5 of season 3.

>>42359706
pretty much like this. I'm missing about half a season worth of S8 and S9. I have no intention to actively fill the gaps but if it happens it happens except for the final 3 episodes

>>42359715
>Show started to change a lot
The shift between 3 and 4 is big, I wasn't expecting it to be as big as it is.

>>42359693 (OP)
I have watched the first 3 seasons in full. For the rest of the seasons I just picked what I liked.

All of it.
Also season 5 mogs season 1-2, you are all missing out.

>>42359740
Still not as big as S4 to S5. At lest there were still treebrary and Hub. After that it has become way too distant.

>>42359744
And how do you know what you like?

1-7
planning on finishing it, i just need to force myself to watch the movie

>>42359715
sad, u didnt even get to the best pony duo of all time

>>42359740
I had a lot of 'what show am I watching?' moments in the S4 opener. It's weird.

>>42359758
The Gimmer spam back then really didn't help that situation.

>>42359749
Not that hard to predict. Synopsis, ratings and /mlp/ reaction tells me enough.

>>42359763
Gimmer? Who the fuck is that?

All of it.
How else can you possibly know how to hate it properly?

>>42359762
That year or so was enough time for them to really become aware of just how massive the fandom is and to try and keep up with the popularity of the show, I guess. It's fucky.

>>42359766
Just the best pony of all

>>42359766
best pony? obviously

All of it. My cats get really calm when it's on.

>>42359693 (OP)
S6, nearing S7 now
I’d say the show was good from s1-s4, s5 and s6 have good episodes but it’s feeling like that’s on the decline now.

>>42359693 (OP)
Midway through S8. Maybe someday I'll go back and finish it.

Just finished all of the main G4..
Honestly at a loss as to what to do now.
Wish I was here in 2019 when the last episode released- can only imagine what it was like.

>>42359693 (OP)
G1, G3, G4, a little bit of g%.

>>42359806
>Wish I was here in 2019 when the last episode released- can only imagine what it was like.
Wish I wasn't. That shit gave me legit depression because I'm a retarded autist.

>>42359693 (OP)
Just finished my second round through G4. Took two years.

>>42359693 (OP)
I watched all of it mid last year and I fucking regret it. I'm planning on rewatching seasons 1-3 as penance.

>>42359810
why would u watch any gen other than gen 4

>>42359856
>Why would you want more tiny horses in your life?
I don't feel safe talking to crazy people.

>>42359806
Back during the S2 days I used to fantasize about traveling into the future and being able to marathon like ten seasons of new episodes.

>>42359866
>pic
Impressive how accurate it was for a shitpost.

>>42359693 (OP)
currently s6e9
kinda understand why some call Starlight Poochie
feel like everything after S4 is a drag not worth watching
question for oldfags: what was community's reaction at out-of-season seasonal episodes (Nightmare Night and Heartswarming)?

>>42359693 (OP)
All of it, of course.

>>42359735
>No binge-watching, though. I've been doing a few episodes a week and letting the mares marinate in my brain.
Absolutely based, anon. Let them marinate, let them inspire you.
However, once you reach a point at which you no longer enjoy new episodes, consider binging them. The anniversary makes the shittiest episodes more bearable, but this year's anni is too soon for your purposes, and next year's is far away.

42359898
You don't impress me. My problem is like a compass needle spinning and you fail basic chemistry with another F in the subject of interrogation. As I do not naturally speak your pig language I do not view life as a trip to a movie theater. Know now, this year, because you couldn't come up with a better post series boomerang narrative. See, different!
Captcha: Not applicable to organics!

i've seen every episode of the first seven seasons at least once (although some of them only exactly once, and many of them not in a very long time), as well as a handfull of episodes from the last two seasons that i've been told weren't that bad. most of them were still pretty bad. i've also seen the first three eq movies, but again, not in a very long time, and best gift ever. most of the time when i rewatch the show i just watch random individual episodes, but i should probably do a full show watchthrough at some point.

>>42359693 (OP)
I pretty much stopped watching when the "School of Friendship" became a thing.
>heigh-ho, another fucking high school drama series, who cares
Kinda sucked the magic out of the whole magical talking pony thing for me.

>>42359861
fat, ugly, onclopable horses*

>>42359877

>>42359693 (OP)
Until halfway through season 5, I just couldn't stand it anymore. The show I liked was long gone.

>>42359986

>>42359980
G1 shows us that all MLP mares are hot for human men. That alone is enough to justify its existence.

Should I keep going? I'm halfway through season 8 but barely payed attention to any of the episodes (expect Mean 6). Are there any "good" episodes I'm missing?

As a kid I found the show around late S2, saw a rerun of Winter Wrap-up and instantly fell in love. Watched until mid S5, I think right before the CMC got their cutie marks. A few months ago I rediscovered the show and have been hooked on it again, I passed the point of episodes I'd already watched as a kid a few days ago. I'll probably keep going until the end, I feel like after S3-ish a certain part of the comfy atmosphere the early show had was lost, but it was still overall good, and I'm sure I'll at least like it enough to keep watching until the end even if it's not /as/ good as the early seasons that got me hooked.

I just watched What About Discord this morning and really enjoyed it, was surprised to find it was so hated. I also found myself enjoying Haber's episodes so far (Leap of Faith was one of my favorites in S4), though I don't doubt that he steers the show off-course later once he becomes showrunner—I've seen plenty of examples of "this person writes good on their own little projects but fucks it up hard when they take the reigns on something started by someone else" before.

Still, I already bought the DVDs for everything up to the movie and ripped them to my Jellyfin server, so might as well at least watch that far.

>>42359999
I want to believe in the starlight that could be, not the starlight that is.

The ideal best starlight is still a bitch, other characters just call her out on it more, and she's actually sorry more.

>>42360009
>I'm halfway through season 8
Just do yourself a favor and drop that shit, you gain nothing other than completion for the sake of completion.

>>42359693 (OP)
I've seen all episodes. Multiple times. Whenever a new episode would air I'd rewatch it immediately after.

>>42359693 (OP)
all of it, the only thing i haven't watched is Rainbow Roadtrip

>>42360009
Sounds of Silence is the only S8-9 episode worthy of watching.

Only the show bible itself. The idea of FiM is better than the actual execution and all elements serve as ingredients for the superior fan material.

>>42359693 (OP)
Only to S5, I never bothered with any of the trash afterwards

I was under the impression everyone here was some Hasbro consoomer who has seen every single episode and all the movies and Equestria girls things.
I don't really care if people watch the later seasons but, it is essentially a different show and when you do things like replace the golden oak library with a shiny toy playset, that's insulting to me, I have some amount of self-respect for my sensibilities to feel offended. I was going to make a thread actually asking if there are ant episodes of value later on. Other than the Maud Pie episode in season 4, and the Pinkie Pie Family episode in season 5. Which both those are good because they're following up on the original concept from season 1 of the Pie family being boring rock farmers, there's little way to screw that up and not be funny. Although they did manage to screw up some things, why the parents speaks in older english I don't know, it's just not funny or logical and I don't get what the joke is behind Limestone Pie's cutie mark, is it a green eggs and ham reference. I don't even want to know, it's ugly.
I know there's more Trixie later on, but I'm not sure I'd even want to see that, essentially if Starlight Glimmer is involved I do not think she is a good character at all.

Most ponylover fan content, maybe even 99% of the best fan music and fan animations and fictions and images people love, have been produced by people who have never and will never see the later seasons. And being older most people value their time a lot more. I don't care about Princess Twilight and her straight-edge friends going around the world condescending to people. If I was late teens or early 20s again I could probably watch the later seasons especially if I cared to discuss them online or was part of the community. There's a great guy named Awe who does Spongebob videos, great fan of Spongebob, he's see all the modern episodes, only because he has a large following now and so he feels required to do so. If there's a reason you can shovel down the trash.

>>42359693 (OP)
Been clopping for years, but the only parts of the actual show I've seen are a few of the /tssg/ gifs.
I don't even know what their voices are.

I'm saving my first watch of MLP for something special, like if a family member dies or I have my first breakup with a girl.

>>42359693 (OP)
I completed the show twice. Once in English and once in German. I rewatch episodes that I like.

>>42360031
Why would you want to associate MLP with a bad moment of your life?

>>42359693 (OP)
Everything, though I never got around to Equestria girls so I just run with the egg DWK videos

The entire thing?
Was never a puritan but it was great up until Twilight got her school of friendship / every-creature saga.

I was intoxicated (blazed out of my skull) the entire time though, can't bring myself to watch it again & ruin something once pure. Generation 5 was absolute garbage though, the movie wasn't bland in poor taste & the series even worse. They handed the franchise to Netflix who trashed its legacy and did a smelly shit. Even removed the butt-cracks, might seem inconsequential but that really killed the sex appeal they shamelessly flaunted.

Never gave Wild Manes a chance, they look like cows. An all around inferior specimen! The last good thing to come of MLP was legitimately Equestria Girls, brought us iconic characters like the Dazzles, memorable music & focused on the Mane 6. There were like 4 movies, all great except for Camp Everfree.

Even the official My little Pony movie was sort-of a banger.
But afro-haired misty? Ugh, get that shit away from me.

>>42360032
What language do you pick on the rewatch? Is the German dub any good? I know pretty much nothing about it, honestly

>>42360038
>The last good thing to come of MLP was legitimately Equestria Girls

>>42360027
Pretty much me. I started skipping a few episodes around Season 5 and never bothered past it. I only watched the finals because I wanted to know how Glimmer returns, only to see her be forgiven after literally creating a dozen doomed timelines.

>>42360038
stop posting Anon.

>>42360049
This was my first MLP post all day..

Why does it filter so many people?

>>42360060
Should be your final as well.

>>42359693 (OP)
All of it. Some if it was magic. Some of it was just meh.. and some of it was awful. And it seems to be more or less chronological in that regard.

>>42360039
I prefer the English version. The German dub has okay voices for the main cast, but I do not like the singing.

>>42359773
Drop the knife!!!

>>42360068
No, i am just beginning. You'll see

>>42359693 (OP)
Every season every episode except a spike one, and a pinkie one (yakkity sax).

>>42360017
idk, i like atleast 8 episodes from season 8 alone

>>42360028
>replace the golden oak library with a shiny toy playset
It's funny because the Golden Oak Library seems way more like somewhere you'd want to live than the Castle of Friendship. The castle's sorta beautiful from the outside but the inside is painfully lonely.

>>42360088
>(yakkity sax)
Good call. Your life is just that little bit better than anyone who has seen it

>>42360103
what where they fucking thinking making that shitty episode?

>>42360025
If there was a spectrum of shit to excellent, both the fan works and the show would span it.

>>42360028
>Most ponylover fan content, maybe even 99% of the best fan music and fan animations and fictions and images people love, have been produced by people who have never and will never see the later seasons
It's true. Most of the amazing works were created by 2015 or so.

>>42360009
sounds of silence is the only good episode of season 8, but it's really great. if someone told me it was their favorite episode of the entire show, i wouldn't question it at all.
season 9 doesn't have a high nearly that high, but frenemies and sparkle's seven were pretty decent, and i personally actually really liked common ground

>>42360107

Thinking? This was a late season. Thought optional.

>>42359693 (OP)

>>42360088
>>42360103
As someone who hasn't seen the later seasons, what is yakkity sax, and why does everyone hate it?

>>42359693 (OP)
I’ve watched like 90% of it. For most of seasons 8 and 9 they were so intolerable I had to constantly press k on my keyboard to skip forward by ten seconds while watching at 2x speed. If I had not done that the episodes would have been completely unbearable to watch.

>>42359693 (OP)
Are you guys watching the show.

>>42360149
no

>>42360009
Frenemies is basically the only watchable season 9 episode. Everything else is garbage.

>>42360148
ey boss

>>42359693 (OP)
Every episode multiple times. Are there really people here who haven't?

>>42360147
Yakity-Sax is the eighteenth episode of season eight of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and the one hundred and eighty-seventh overall. When Pinkie overreacts to her friends' criticism of her yovidaphone playing into an intractable depression, they must find a way to restore her self-esteem.

>>42360158
>the only watchable episode is one where the perceived message of it is different than writer intent.

It's hilarious that the only good s9 episode is basically a mistake.

>>42360098
I think what's strange to me is does any of this even work, the toys in the show. I've never even met a child who watched this show, nor a child who owned my little pony toys and whether or not they care or need them to be seen in the show. Now the show is getting kind of old I think there's people on 4chan who grew up with it.
But the idea of Hasbro making cartoons that are essentially toy commercials, that's their thing, I just don't see how that works. But maybe because I'm not a fat white american women with kids. Maybe in that kind of lifestyle yeah you have your kids watch this cartoon and then they see the toy and then you go and buy it, I guess.
The soulless corporate greed creatures I don't understand, I don't know how you sleep at night, but also I don't understand the thought process of Lauren made a great show, if the character toys are popular it's because of what the show is, so just continue making toys from the show like the Golden Oak Library. But "No, our studies show that girls want crystal stuff and pink princesses so we need Cadence we need Crystal ponies." And either that didn't work or it worked so well, "Well make Twilight a princess and give her a crystal castle too."
I'm pretty certain they would have made more money if they just let the show be what it was going to be. That's just basic logic I think since it was a success as it was. And short term monetary gains aren't always the answer anyway. I remember a panel with the voice actors they said that Hasbro was very interested and influenced by the brony phenomenon but if they were, they thought bronies were just stupid manchildren who would eat up anything anyways, or they actually didn't care because it's a brand risk to go in a direction pandering to them, but they did pander or DHX did, they did release the "adult toy" series and trading card game. But in the end Hasbro bet on their traditional way of doing things.

Also I took this picture of MLP diapers a few weeks ago.

>>42360164
>you are heccin valid
The episode

I hate modernity.

>>42360164
What is a yovidaphone, and why is the episode hated?

I used to post Glimmer a bunch just to get a rise out of people, never particularly liked the character either. I did a bad bad thing. Still find it funny how she was redeemed for brainwashing people into a cult like mentality, whilst a literal child is sent to Tartarus and given no second chance.

They really just wrote Cozy Glow to be a loose end, huh? and they even ended the entire show there as if it were a high note.

>>42360128
I didn't think it was a lime, it looks like a green ham to me. Even looking at it right now, it does not look like a lime. But yes even with that that's kind of stupid.

>>42360172
A yovidaphone is an instrument of Yakyakistan culture; basically bagpipes. The episode is hated because Pinkie's playing is genuinely terrible and agonising, Pinkie is completely overreacting and OOC; it is basically a retread of Party of One, but Pinkie's depression feels not earned - and the message not only contradicts Horse Play (which's events are ironically mentioned in this episode), but is also controversial as is.

>>42359693 (OP)
S4 + EQG

>>42359758
I also watched the S5 premiere and the premise of them becoming superheroes that respond to the bat-signal was stupid as fuck. Glimmer was a dumb, uninteresting villain and not really a menace. The Great and Powerful didn't need a duo because the whole point with her character is that she's egotistical and nobody likes her lol

>>42360169
It seems like it would've been a far better approach to just let the writers create the story they want to make and then just make toys after. Sure, you might release the new playset a year later but are kids really going to not care just because it's a little late? A successful show's going to rely on reruns anyways.

Not right now, no. I watched one yesterday and I try and sit between episodes so I'm sure to remember them.

>>42360038
>liking the original EQG movie
I can understand how someone could like the later movies but the first movie is objectively garbage. It's only entertaining to laugh at how shit it is.

So this weekend I was drinking with a friend of mine, a fellow horsefucker. Every now and then when we're at our drunkest we watch an episode or two. We both quit back when S5 was airing. We just finished season 6 and began the opening episode of S7. Holy shit bruvs it was awful. Despite both of us endeavoring to comprehend the episode none of it registered, and I sincerely don't think it was just because we were both plastered. It was just talk, talk and talk and stupid fucking OCs. Nothing happened, honestly I can't imagine even children enjoying it due to the inane talking. We quit halfway through because it was genuinly boring and stupid. Then we picked a random old episode, Sweet and Elite. I can't express how much better that episode was. I think we're gonna keep on going with the new seasons, but man the bar is really low, I genuinly feel kinda awkward watching it with someones else due to how fucking bad it is, but when we're watching old episodes that feeling goes away. Why does the nu-seasons suck so much /mlp/ros?

>>42360358
>Are you watching MLP?
Only a couple of episodes every Saturday. More than that, and it starts to hurt too much.

Haven't in years and I dont plan to anytime soon.

>>42360407
It feels like it was meant to be in the middle of the Everfree Forest, y'know, where the Castle of the Two Sisters is.

>>42360344
Me too. Should have said "nopony likes her"

>>42360407
Exactly. And it's this lack of attention to detail that simply cannot be compared to the meticulous pains taken to create a place like Equestria.

This shit ain't canon, is what I'm saying.

>>42360393
Because the people who created what you loved were slowly leaving or being replaced.

I am having a hard time rewatching anything. Even the best movies and shows in existance I can barely watch twice because I can already know what happens.
I watched the whole show 4 times.

Ive watched the entire show 2 times through. Haven't watched EQG because that shit is gross and gay. Equestria Girls were made for little girls, ponies were made for men. (Men rode horses for millennia)

>>42359919

Some stories are better suited for reruns than others. My favorite scifi is Babylon 5, and I enjoy rewatching it every few years.

>>42359693 (OP)
S1-9 FIM and the movie, tried watching G5 movie but only made it about half way through. FIM is pretty much unwatchable post school of friendship bar maybe 3 episodes. My love for this show is unfathomable, I had to force myself through the later seasons just to see how what I loved so much ended up dying.

>>42360576
You ever gonna watch Best Gift Ever and Rainbow Roadtrip?
