Bad news...Hasbro has officially announced that they are against episodes being on youtube and are sending out takedown notices to various channels. They instead encourage people to download the episodes from iTunes.

 

Don't do this. Regardless of how you feel about Apple or its DRM, the iTunes versions of the episodes are washed out. See for yourself.

 

 

I don't know if they're going to be able to remove EVERY channel, but if so it looks like I'll have to resort to torrents. I would like to legitimately buy the episodes, but the subpar quality of the iTunes versions is unacceptable.

Someone put forth the theory that since content IDs are not being used to remove pony vids, that maybe Hasbro doesn't really mind it as much as other networks might, but they have to protect their IP to both please investors and avoid losing the rights entirely, so they're issuing DMCAs to keep up appearances.

 

Seeing that ponies are still being uploaded, it wouldn't be impossible. I think they realize that youtube has gotten them a LOT of attention, but in a very unconventional method.

 

Of course, if that turns out to be wishful thinking I'm sure there will be alternatives. This fanbase is too big to stop the uploads entirely. Someone would find a way.

Today's episode was absolutely brilliant. The pacing, the writing, all of it was absolutely top-notch. Sorry, 'Luna Eclipsed', but you're no longer my favorite episode. That goes to 'Family Appreciation Day' now.

 

 

So, Granny Smith's parents founded Ponyville. Thus, Granny Smith's parents are the first generation, and she's the second.

 

Following this, the Mane 6 are the fourth generation of ponies living within Ponyville. The current iteration of MLP is also referred to as the fourth generation.

 

MIND = BLOWN.

I can't wait for the episode where Dash is hospitalized and discovers the magic of books.

 

It's gonna get all Reading Rainbow up in this bitch.

 

I already see enough fics that have Dash in the hospital as is.

 

That episode isn't going to help any. Books means the possibility of adorkable Twilight, though.
