Permanent name change, I don't know? I just felt like calling it that today over "Odds and Ends."

One thing I do remember from the episode is this little shot of Rainbow Dash rolling. It is one of the things that feels short of primitive and cheap in the animation, they are just rotating the model. This is not a complaint but a observation. It doesn't bug me in the slightest but as the show dragged on this is one of the things that feels a little janky.

...and a lot of the animation is a little janky at points, but I think where this show stood out even then was that it had, especially for a show of its budget and target demo, girls/TV Y, a lot of stuff going on. Like, look at this little clip that I labeled "Camera Effects" or whatever I called it It is Did they have to have two separate animation rigs for the front and side profile? They also make a effort, constantly, to have the effect of a camera moving around. Animating details in the background like the smoke here or the bees back in Ticket Master (>>9869). Yes, with flash you can reuses stuff again afterwords so a lot of these little assets stack up but it still seems to me that even here an extra effort was being made compared to a lot of other shows

...speaking of that, Perspective shots, camera effects. The show would sacrifice artistic perfection (lines on characters or objects looking unnaturally big, some art looking weird) for this, and later got better at hiding those little imperfections. Like the storm clouds, I think such efforts were worth it and the imperfections that do show up from that give it a bit of charm to me. I feel like this is something I need to better show from another episode then this one one.
