>>7231 >In thinking about suggesting, since the board is so slow Well, yeah. I have been mostly studying for these two weeks. I was about to leave a PoLS and well,it seems Bridgefag is focusing on other projects at the moment. This lack of activity may change in a week or so though.
>and there's no civil war going on that we rev this back up, that *I* always felt season one was the weakest. At least the first half or so because the voice actresses had absolutely no chemistry, and the doubled up voices weren't well delineated yet.
Well, there might not be any civil war around but if you said this on /mlp/, they would consider your opinion as a "guaranteed replies" or "low quality bait" one.
Nonetheless, that's quite valid. You only have to hear the voices coming from Asleigh Ball, for example. AJ sounds in the first half of the season way too close to Rainbow Dash's tone and one could mistake the orange pony with the blue one. It would require a few episodes (like a dozen) so she would warm up and find the charismatic Southern accent that would become the standard for Applejack.
I must add that while season 1 doesn't contain big stinkers, it feels truly mundane and falls into the average territory for several episodes when it comes to the plot devices (such as The Ticket Master or Swarm of The Century).Indeed, the comfy vibes of Ponyville are quite appealing and that's absolutely respectable.
However, there isn't much material to dig for a lengthy review/episode spotlight because...well, it mostly serves to warm up with the universe and the characters, have some fun along the way and not much else. Like any introduction, really. I think that the show becomes familiar when one gets to see Apple Bloom with the other two CMC. Around Call of the Cutie or so, it feels "less alien" (I can't find the right word for describing that transition)
