dbzponyninja Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 BTW: I find it extremely unlikely that MLP episodes will become any longer than 30 minutes just because there's only 13 episodes this next season. Standard running times for children's shows simply don't exceed 30 minutes, and I don't think MLP will be an exception to this rule. Besides, extending episode length is actually counterproductive of Hasbro's goal of making MLP suitable for syndication. Yeah he or she is right I completly agree with him/ her.

Rosewind Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Season 3 is confirmed now to only be 13 episodes. Source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemesisPon3 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 at first I was a bit sad knowing we only get 13 episodes.but then the cogs in my brain started turning and I thought "that gives the makers of FiM more time for season 4 and other stuff" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconofChaos Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I heard from someone that this may actually be a good thing. Aparantly the animators were working themselves ragged to get the episodes finished on time. If there're only 13 episodes per season, it's not only good for them, but we may end up with a higher quality result since the animators can take their time. That's just a theory though.

Sparkleheart Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 It's my understanding that the team is still employed at the studio, which wouldn't make a whole lot of sense if they weren't still working on something MLP-related.As for shorter seasons meaning higher quality, I think I can get behind that. Especially after the general unevenness of season 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacobob Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Don't we have an 30th anniversary coming up? And I wonder what Bonnie Zacherle (The creator of My Little Pony) thinks of the current shows and toyline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wonder what Bonnie Zacherle (The creator of My Little Pony) thinks of the current shows and toyline?actually, I am betting, bonnie's pretty apathetic. Her vision of MLP was more towards realistic colors. She wasn't super thrilled they were made fantasy colors in the first place. I met her at MLP fair a few years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosewind Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Wouldn't it be kind of cool if the entire S3 was one huge story arc with the Crystal Kingdom?It would be a pretty interesting thing for Hasbro to do. Maybe.Also Season 8:It's not that far-fetched! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lux Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Wow! New stuff since I last checked.The fact that it's a shortened seasons, but it was noted that there will at least be Season 8, intrigues me.Maybe the 13 will be just due to a story arc, like how in Anime there's several arcs that make up the series.

flutterscotch Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 @dessa. She does not because she was under contract to Hasbro, therefore products and concepts created within her time there are their sole property. Could contribute to the bitterness.

Tenkan Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I thought to myself, "Season 3 only 13 episodes? That only means that the show's ending sooner than I thought!" D:Now that I see most of what the creators spoke about and posted, I guess I'm totally wrong. And if the reason why they have it shortened is to sped more time on quality, then I'm not complaining what so ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoth Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Will's contribution has to be the most reassuring news about the show I've read in a while. With all the speculation about how the show was going to end earlier, and all the paranoia that was slowly sneaking its way to awful levels, I'm finally glad to hear that there's confirmation that the show will continue on.Also: Don't take Megan's comments seriously (I only noticed Lux doing so, but I want to dismiss any possible speculation in the future). She's clearly taking part in the joke, as every staff member of the show does... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
