Chocoswirl

It's been a while since I've been on here! I might be stopping by a bit more often now that I'm getting less busy! Anyways, MLP has recently been released in Japan last month on April 2nd as マイリトルポニー～トモダチは魔法～ (Mai Ritoru Ponī ~Tomodachi wa Mahō~) ("Friends are Magic") As a fan of Japanese culture, anime, and MLP of course, this is some pretty cool news! I watched the first two episodes in their Japanese dub version, and I must say. I really love it. They recreated a more poppy, shoujo anime/ j-pop opening for the show, and I love it! Now, the English one is still way up there on my list, but in my opinion, the Japanese opening surpasses my expectations. It reminds me of a lot of shoujo anime I've seen. The ending is also really nice too, (The opening "Mirai Start".) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOJJkuoS3V4 The Seiyuus/Voice actresses introducing the characters they play http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0vyMHOkOXM Episode 1 RAW can be seen here, side-by-side with the original on mute: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6u37ev9ktI (Some parts of the Japanese version have been cut to make the show flow more freely. For example, Spike's mention of a party in the beginning is cut out. You can find just the Japanese version itself on Youtube too if you search it up on there. So far, Japan's only up to episode 3, or 4, if I'm mistaken. Also, since it came out in Japan, it seems they're actually coming out with a manga adaption of the show. Now, I don't have any official resources to prove this, but so far, it's been mentioned on quite a few websites like wikipedia and AnimeNewsNetwork, which is widely trusted. http://www.animenews...ga-in-the-works Whoo! *deep breath* That was a lot. Now, what do you think of it? I personally really like it, but that may just be the inner Japan-lover inside of me speaking. If this was mentioned on another topic, please let me know! Fun Facts! -Apple Bloom is voiced by the same voice as Pikachu! Appika pika! -If you watch a ton of anime, some of the voice actresses' (if you keep track of the seiyuus' names) will be familiar to you! -At the end of each episode, before the closing song, Twilight and Pinkie Pie's seiyuu talk for a little bit about the episode or something related to the show. They also hold a "Lucky Pony Slots" event, where each episode, a random pony is selected.

I'll add it as soon as I can!~ For the time being, I'm a little busy, and won't be able to make any trades/battles for a week or so.

Aha! Chocoswirl is fully healed! (Pokemon pun ftw) I've been kinda inactive around here for a while, but seeing someone post here has got me all riled up~ Anyways, I think I might be interested in battling and such, but I need to find some time when I'm not busy~

This is by far the best collection of anime outtakes I've ever seen. Ah, FMA:Brotherhood. Strong Language Warning! It even says so in the beginning of the video! http://youtu.be/gwGJ7CDmSoE Near the end, it killed me. Al sure loves his stew.

I've been gone for a while, so here's something I saw. Gangnam Style is now one billion. Best way to end the year ever.

More like Neon Lights from the Grand Galloping Gala! You didn't think he was an OC, did you? :fish:
