QuickLime Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Anyone else worried about the quality of Season 6? I mean, with AKR gone, how will the show be affected?Why would the quality change because ONE writer left? We still have several writers that are REALLY good on the show, not to mention it's silly to worry about Season Six's quality.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunsetSombra Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I think your topics are all starting to get a little silly at this point - but no, I'm not fearful of season 6's quality yet because I have not seen any...and I refuse to 'imagine' that AKR leaving has ruined anything for the whole show.

LostSanity Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I don't see how it'll change drastically just because a writer is leaving. Stop being pessimistic all the time. Then again I do that at times as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosewind Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Season 6 will have a mix of good episodes, bad episodes, in-between episodes, and god-tier episodes, like every other season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noedig Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 I doubt the quality of animation will drop.As for their writing, I'm unsure, but not worried.So for me, I'd think to not worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToothpasteThy Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 If AKR is moving on, good for her! I have no problem with her pursuing her dreams or whatever. I am actually quite excited for the quality of season 6 despite AKR's departure. I mean-- Larson may be a major meme in the fandom, but he is a fantastic writer. And the newer writer who wrote that Applejack/Pinkie Pie Christmas episode (episode name and writer name escape me at this moment) already shows extreme potential! That episode was the best one I have ever seen apart from the season 5 finale episodes.I have no worries about quality going into season 6. The only thing that I could ever worry about is that season 6 may wind up being way too good and causing the universe to explode with pony.Also. Same show musicians. 100% chance of success.Hmmm, well the quality might take a drop, but I'm more worried about episode quality falling due to a lack of ideas instead of a writer leaving.I think that if they ever run out of ideas, they will fall back on what Lauren Faust originally intended the show to be. Which is a lot more adventurous than just friendship problems. Sure, that'd be a major change, but not unwelcome in the fandom by my assumptions.Of course, it'll take ages upon ages for a team of skilled writers to cover all types of friendship problems, conflicts and situations.

MidnightMask Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I do wonder if we're going to get some kind of soft reboot. The finale of 5 makes me wonder if we're going to be meeting a lot of new ponies sometime in the near future. The characters of the show with the most storyline have largely had their stories told- Rarity with her shop, Twilight is the Princess of Friendship, and Rainbow Dash will probably be a Wonderbolt. Pinkie, Applejack, and Fluttershy don't have much in the way or overarching goals, so they have less to do with them. They've also all become extremely versed in the art of friendship, so it gets harder and harder to do episodes about them having issues, thus the last season involving a lot of them solving problems for others.The introduction and redemption of Starlight Glimmer seems like not an accident at all. She's like Twilight, but she doesn't have friends, or years of tutelage from Princess Celestia. Ruler and Leadership traits she's already displayed in Our Town- she made a whole town, without Cutie marks!?!- and her magic has allowed her to strip cutie marks. In many ways, this is a warped version of Twilight's mastery of the cutie mark switching spell. SG has Epic Destiny written all over her, but I don't think it works if she's just added in to the Mane Six. But Our Town, with the sudden introduction of a lot of ponies just coming into their own after years(?) of suppression could make it a really vibrant place to explore.Which is why I wonder if this is going to be one of those late cartoon life, "everything is different!", desperate moves to keep the cartoon's lifeblood pumping. Not that there isn't plenty of blood left in the Ponyville stone, but as the franchise continues to soar, a new series with a new focus seems inevitable.

Lyipheoryia Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Unlike LostSanity, I'm looking forwards in seeing some more character development for beloved Starlight Glimmer, Cadenza, and Shiny. The three of them have major story writing potential, so I hope the show uses that to it's fullest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostSanity Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'm hoping NOT REDEEMED characters can be ignored and the season will still be good/enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheColtofPersonality Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I am surprisingly looking forward to season 6, I took a extended leave of the series and the fandom but only so I could collect myself and regain enthusiasm for the show again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixHeart Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Myself, I couldn't be more excited. It feels like it's been quite some time since the S5 finale, I'm really curious as to how they'll handle Starlight Glimmer from here - and all in all - I'm not worried at all. There's still quite a bit of gas left in the tank for the series, and I'm ready to go for another ride. 2 weeks to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malachi1984 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I might be a little worried regarding Starlight Glimmer's redemption. The scene with her and Twilight could be a teaser for an episode fleshing out her redemption a little more. You know showing her interacting with everyone more and trying to build friendships, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSanity Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Welp... here we go... I promise I will try to make this the last time I talk about this. With the season premiering next week... I guess it's time to start hoping that they don't put too much emphasis on the NOT REDEEMED character trying to get people to forgive her. Because for me... that's likely NEVER going to happen. If they do... *sighs* I don't know what I'll do... I really don't want to leave the fandom... I really don't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
