Cadance might be the LOVE SCHOOL principle. 

You've been a bad student... go see the principle.  Bow-chicka-wow-wow.

My guess is it will be at Twilight's castle or around Ponyville.

The show has been leaky for a while. Other than episode synopsis I avoided the spoilers like the plague

Good job gents! :D I can't wait for the season to start.  Sad this is the last season though.

I didn't know a season 9 was approved.  So close to 10 seasons!  Who would have expected this show to run so long!

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic - School Daze Parts 1 & 2
SYNOPSIS:
When the Cutie Map expands to areas beyond Equestria, Twilight Sparkle decides to open up a school.  Twilight and her students must then save the School of Friendship when it is threatened by an organization.

So Equestria High will now have a "real-world" universe counterpart?  Or will it be more like an academy/training camp for elite youngsters, with the Mane Six, and Friends as its faculty?
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "School Daze Parts 1 & 2"
Post by: Blurr on 2018-03-22 18:17:41
Twilight's the principal, the mane 5 are teachers, Starlight is the guidance counselor.

We don't really know yet.  "Twilight and her students" can mean she is the principle or teacher or both.

Don't know how I feel about the Mane 6 being teachers... don't they have real lives?  Do they get paid for this?
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "School Daze Parts 1 & 2"

So the EEA allows non certified teachers with no formal education as teachers to be teachers?

What about Rarity's clothes shop, Applejack's farm work, and Rainbow Dash's Wonderbolt duties?  Will the CMCs step up as TA's  on occasion when they're absent, for class credit?

Exactly!  What happened to all that?  I hope they don't stop that stuff.  They built it up for years!

School isn't meant to be fun you students!  You're there to learn!

Indeed they do. If Tempest returns it will be interesting to see her in the show's animation style rather than the movie's.

Maurice LaMarche on MLP:FiM?  That sound you here is a thousand fanboys swooning.

This one isn't online yet, but I'm catching up on back episodes.    A mystery at a movie set.   "Equestrian Girls" meets "Scooby-Doo".  Pretty easy case.  I guessed the suspect's identity almost immediately.

Part 1 is down.  It had it's ups and downs... but I wasn't a big fan of the school thing so far.  I do like some of the newer characters.

I figured more would be done with the return of the Pillars in this season . I mean, Star-Swirl the Bearded would make a great headmaster for the magic school/mentor for Twi. Or would that be a little too "Harry Potter" to suit the fanbase?
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "School Daze Parts 1 & 2"
Post by: Soda on 2018-03-24 13:58:30
The episode was good.  Combined I would give is a 6/10 for being passable.  I don't care if we see these students much anymore, and I hope the school isn't the main focus this season.  I found the episode to be alright and somewhat meh.  Some good character interactions though which was nice, but there were so many characters, it made it hard to spend much time on each character.

Who are these beak-nosed pegasus?
Hippogriffs... they played an important part in the MLP:FiM movie (which also introduced Tempest Shadow).  Now I'm glad I watched it last week, so I'm not all lost and stuff.

I wonder... if she traveled to the EQG world, how would her broken horn manifest itself?  Would she be missing an arm or have a huge scar on her forehead, or something?
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "School Daze Parts 1 & 2"
Post by: Blurr on 2018-03-24 15:00:10
Well she's already less horny then a lot of other ponies. XD

(glowers at BLURR and my face falls into a frown with a "blarrt" sound.  Surprised, I contort my features a few more times, producing the same flatulent noise)

Oh, no! I-I'd better go see a doctor.  My uncle died of "fart face"!    ;)



But, in all seriousness.... watching the episode now, gracias to the Sodester. 

So... what, no comments about the dress Rarity made to cheer up poor sad Twi?   What do you call that look, "jester chic"?  ::)

I watched the movie just now for that reason, lol. I'll watch the Season 8 premiere later tonight.

I'm thinking, if they can get Moe LaMarche to sign on for a few more episodes, Chancellor Neighsay will serve as Twilight's unofficial nemesis (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeanBitterman) during this season's arc, at least until she eventually wins him over... or he actively tries to sabotage the magic school somehow and ends up losing his job.

So I watched it. Pretty decent. I liked the characters. :)
Save for Neighsay the racist jerk. I hate racists, jerks, and especially racist jerks. ::|

Can't wait to see more of this season. ;D




rarity was adorable in that outfit :3

It was an okay season start... maybe one of the weakest to date.  I did like some of the characters and what they brought to the episode.  I did enjoy hearing Neighsayer's familiar voice.  This episode tried to tackle racism, but again it very simple and idealistic.  I don't think it accomplished much of anything.

That said, I really look forward to more normal/regular episodes for the season. 

I give today's episode a 6/10.

I didn't actually like the series 8 premier.  So I am hoping the rest of the season goes to a more normal set up. 4/10.

Post by: Kiwi on 2018-09-16 12:43:05
Weak season opened.  I remember watching this feeling this was going to be a poor omen for the season.  I am not sold, nor am I still sold on the school.  Just seems like a gimmick that was un-needed when there is so much character building that can be done.  Writing was fine, but lazy at times, and pacing was passable.

5/10.
