26 episodes make up season 1, and other 26 for season 2. The third season only has 13 episodes though, but the quality of most of the episodes that have aired so far this season makes up for the fact that it's half the size of the previous 2

Ah ok, so I'm actually halfway done with Season 1.
 
I love that Danger Zone comic 👍 I was really hoping they'd throw in more Top Gun references in that episode, but that's just me.

About the TV thing, I use my 1280X1024 computer monitor, and sometimes my TV which is a little bit bigger and more rectangle shaped.

Also, I got some of the Madman MLP DVD's, and I've noticed a problem (and it's not with my TV or Playstation which is running it). The episodes run faster than they do when watching via Youtube. At first I noticed that the voices were slightly squeakier, but then I thought about it, and the timing was slightly fast. I was watching Suited for Success at the time, and then Art of the Dress Started, and it really came into effect, I could barely enjoy the episode for the rest of it because I couldn't help but notice it the entire time. All the notes are about 1 semitone up so the notes aren't right. Me noticing this is starting to make me think that I in fact have perfect pitch (if I do, I shall be amazingly happy).

I don't know why Madman has decided to do this, all the episode times are slashed from 22:02 to about 21:08, and it's sort of awkward (ran it through the PC and WMP to find that out). Just did a small check and it is about 10 bpm faster. If there is any reason for this I think it would be due to disk space. I'm not sure how much time a DVD disc is capable or running, but these DVD's run 110 minutes. Which when reading adds perfectly up to 5 episodes. At first I thought that it would have been to fit the "Karaoke sing-along" in, but this was not the case, as the next volume (4) had the same speed difference, even though it had no extras. Sort of disappointing really as I was excited to be able to watch the show on my actual TV for the first time.

EDIT: Turns out that it is a problem that many shows face when being converted from NTSC to PAL, and it has been sped up by 4% (also altering the pitch by just under 1 semitone), this is to account for the differnences in frame rates. I think it's NTSC has 24, and PAL has 50, 24 can't go into 50, so it's either make every 24th frame last 2 frames, or speed up the entire thing by 4%. They went with the latter because less people would notice.

Just got through watching episodes 14 and 15. At this point, I'm about 11 episodes away from completely seeing the first season.

Maybe they might surprise us with 13 more episodes for Season 3 in early summer? I hope that's the case because I hate when Seasons became short.
 
Episode leaked early on iTunes. The YT upload from the iTunes rip I watched just now will only be up for this weekend.

Not bad again really. Timber Wolves (even in 3D!) are kinda 🤬 though. Especially when they "assemble", which seemed odd. It choked on a pebble for crying out loud :lol:

It didn't gain much momentum until halfway either, with the fake wolf attack being the highlight (Pinkie pretending to cry in terror... while smiling. Gold). Also, Spike confirmed for most gentlemanly inhabitant of Ponyville, and possibly the most patient after counting all those grass blades.

NTSC live action (movies, most TV shows) is 24 FPS. PAL live action is 25. (Only exception is usually reality shows and soaps)



Most animation is 60 (as is MLP), but they probably sped it up (as you said) to get it to work at 50.
 
Ugh, This stupid holiday thing threw me off. I didn't realize we'd get episodes during this time. Oh well, more pony for me. And unlike the other episodes, I wasn't subject to very many spoilers that weren't the title. Now, time for a Spike episode. Unless the title lied again. Whatever.

Now for my whatever notes and whatnot:
Fluttershy walking... Winona?
Titles reveal everything. Well, not always.
1080p FTW!
Written by... Merriwether Williams? I'm indifferent, but others may have something to say.
It's Twilight Sparkle's balloon!
Everfree Forest? Inb4 Zecora.
Timberwolves!
Wait, why am I watching this in YT, when I can play it on a bigger not full screen in VLC?
And then I magically jumped to right where I left off.
CMCs! Oh no, not water skiing.
PIE FLAVOR!
If only Spike could fly.
"STOP HELPING ME, SPIKE!"
Twilight isn't paying attention, is she?
Yeah, AJ and Granny Smith don't see anything right with this.
FOREVER!
"Spike... as my assistant... forever?"
"Your wish is my command."
AJ's response: "Please stop doing favors for me."
Oh god, not Rarity and nasty pie.
RD's in universe fanfic: Wonderbolts Academy, Part II.
Or The Rainbow Dash Show.
Okay, AJ didn't see the easy loophole. Or wanted to use the hard way.
Smash through rocks? LOOK OUT! HERE COMES RAINBOW DASH!
Tom is dead for sure.
Wait wait wait. Rainbow Dash was building a tower of rocks for Rainbow Dash to smash through.
No, AJ's favorite song is Racist Barn.
Help with breathing? Okay, that was pretty funny.
Wow, she was in the zone that long? I guess you could say she was in... The Twilight Zone. I'm too lazy to dig out my sunglasses. Or real glasses. So, yeah.
Pinkie has no limits.
Also, party cannon.
I mustache you a question.
Inb4 real timberwolves.
Oh god, AJ can't act to save her life. Wait, what?
Brohoof.

Thoughts on the episode? It was good, and it had some funny moments, like the
help with breathing
part and
Applejack's terrible acting.
And the next episode, not for 3 more weeks? IT BEGINS.

This is going to make a wonderful, wonderful wallpaper one day.
 
Finished Episodes 17-20, planning on watching the final 6. About to be done with Season one.
 
Going to have some free time tomorrow after work. Want to make something Great and Powerful for the New Year's celebration. We'll see how it goes...

In the mean time, here's a sketch I made during last night shift.

I'm probably going to be away by the time you've finished tomorrow. I wanted to see what you were going to make that could be so GaT.

I do really like that sketch, and I'd love to see you do those more often. How long did it take anyway? Not sure how much free time you have on some work shifts, but it must have been quite a bit to draw that. :3

You need to teach me how to draw ponies that good :crazy: .
 
She forgot her....torso.

I like the color and shading style, but the body shape just seems....odd.
 
Gentleman (or should I say, Gentlecolts), I have just finished watching Season 1 of this show.

Now what do I think about this show now that I have actually sat and watched an entire season in the span of four days? Well...

I...love...it. I don't know if its the characthers, I don't know if its the story but I love it. I do know for sure that even though I never suspected it, it does not at all feel like a typical girly kids show. Its different and to boot, its not all this princess fluff that the original one was (saw it a few times when I was younger in the morning before I went to school and I cringed everytime I saw it). So yeah, great show and while I can't explain it, I kinda can see (barely since I don't wear my glasses like I should :lol:) what makes it so appealing to you gents. Consider me a fan 👍
