He names Adventure Time as one of the shows still holding out for creator driven animation, as well as Superjail

>The creator-driven mentality stubbornly exists among a group of hold-outs and idealists (Pen Ward’s Adventure Time, Devin Clark’s Ugly Americans, Christy Karacas’ Superjail! to name a few), but their numbers will continue to shrink in the coming years. As TV audiences become more fragmented, and advertisers shift ad dollars away from TV, networks will increasingly rely on worn but reliable formulas. They will demand only the surest bets—Looney Tunes revivals, TV series based on feature film characters (The Penguins of Madagascar is already on Nick and Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness is coming soon), shows based on live-action films (Napoleon Dynamite is headed to Fox), and the toy-based ideas that comprise the largest portion of the Hub’s animation programming.

"Slice of life" is a theatrical term that refers to a naturalistic representation of real life, sometimes used as an adjective, as in "a play with 'slice of life' dialogue." The term originated in 1890–95 as a translation from the French phrase tranche de vie, credited to the French playwright Jean Jullien (1854–1919).

Ok ok, seriously.

I'm disappointed in the quality of episode 2, BUT I still have high hopes for the series as a whole. The pacing of ep 2 felt really rushed, and I felt like they had to cram a lot of shit into a small time in order to finish setting up for the rest of the series. They had to do a recap, lay out the plot for the episode, do five validations, find the elements AND confront nightmare moon, unlock the elements and DEFEAT nightmare moon, and then the epilogue. In the space of about twenty five minutes.

I expect further episodes to be more like episode one, with more deliberate pacing. I will continue to watch this series.

All the term originally meant was "scenes with dialog that could be lifted from the everyday life of a normal person".

It doesn't mean the rest of the wall can't be off the walls, it means that there's scenes where people are talking about down to earth stuff.

Future eps will have the characters talking about everyday stuff like clothes shopping, worrying about who to invite to parties, how uncomfortable it is to be in direct competition with your friend in business, etc.

And yes, it'll have Digimon Ponies. Those bits WON'T be "slice of life", but there will be parts that are.

I sorta feel like the people who are butthurt liked it for the wrong reasons.

If you liked it for the characters, art, humor, or hell even if you just wanted to fap to the ponies, there's no reason not to like this episode or to stop watching.

The only reason to stop watching is if the ONLY reason you were interested in the show is because of some half-assed assumption you made regarding the possibility of a potential plot gleaned from one 25 minute episode. To base your entire opinion off of something like that is, frankly, ridiculous. Be disappointed that it didn't pan out, but if you get butthurt and stop watching then I submit that you didn't REALLY like the show in the first place.

I still like the characters, I still laugh, and I still think the ponies are ZOMGWTF ADORABLE. I remain optimistic and will continue to watch, with or without the support of /co/ as a whole.

No, they should have made the first two episodes drawn out over the whole season. There's so much cast that can be elaborated at least one episode each, adding mostly self-contained but plotty action episodes in between. Because face it, kids don't need that much preparation before ponies start wrecking shit up. Foreshadowing can be pretty obscure.

I don't see there being any reason whatsoever to not sneak sequential foreshadowing amongst a randomizable episode set.

The moral with Nightmare Moon is kinda shitty.

>Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō is set in a peaceful, post-cataclysmic world where mankind is in decline after an environmental disaster. Exactly what happened is never explained, but sea levels have risen significantly, inundating coastal cities such as Yokohama, Mount Fuji erupted in living memory, and climate change has occurred. With the seasons being less pronounced, the winters are milder and the summer isn't scorching anymore. The reduced human population has reverted to a simpler life, and the reader is told this is the twilight of the human age. One scene depicts an anti-aircraft missile being used in a firework display. Instead of raging against their fate, humans are quietly accepting.[5][6]

>Alpha Hatsuseno is an android ("robot person") who runs an out-of-the-way coffee shop, Café Alpha, on the lonely coast of the Miura Peninsula of Japan, while her human "owner" is on a trip of indefinite length.[7] Though she spends much of her time alone, Alpha is cheerful, gregarious, and—unlike the slowly declining humans—immortal.[6]

Have you tried the game on some alternate browser? Chrome, Opera or IE? If it only refuses to work on Firefox, you'd probably have to update your browser. Or just play the game on some browser on which it works.

Also, have you waited enough time? The game loading up always takes a while for me. And sometimes it just doesn't load at all and I have to refresh to get it load.

I'm gonna wait for the account system to get working so that when I actually try to play it, I can collect ALL THE POINTS and make the coolest looking Pony you assholes have ever seen.

I swear, you'll be all I'D HIT THAT and I'll be all YOU CAN LOOK BUT YOU CAN'T TOUCH and then you'll go home crying to Mommy and you'll be all MOMMY.

My kid wants to play with that pony maker ALL THE TIME, but she's not good enough with the mouse to do it by herself so she sits on my lap and makes me her bitch.

You now what make this two parter even better is when Tirac was involved. But not as tyrannical as his incarnation from the first MLP animation, but as more of trickster/bully who loves the night and pull pranks. He could be that guy that trick princess Luna (pre-Nightmare Moon) into fighting with her sister believe that none of the ponies appreciates the night (which is completely false). He then showed up as her apprentice, but later on twilight sparkle revealed his scheme. Tirac stole the power that Nightmare Moon been holding up these thousands of years but stopped by McGuffin and therefore retreated to the mountains planning his next prank.
