Oh. Eh, I think FiM and EqG are fairly separate, definitely enough to where I would not consider Sunset Shimmer to have any influence on the show. Her increased prominence in EqG is likely because Hasbro wanted her to be strongly associated with that branch of the franchise in the same way that Twilight Sparkle is associated with FiM.

I Actuslly think Sunset will appear in FIM, well at least once or twice, now that they can use the journal to open the portal at any time. And Sunset is writing Friendship reports to Twilight now... I imagine that might peak Celestia's interest in her ex-student as well.

:gotcha: So you're Sunsets teacher now eh, twilight?

:-/ No. she just writes to me sometimes.

:dwi: You mean like how you wrote friendship reports to me?

:twonk: Oh No, I'm becoming my mother, er I mean mentor!

So finally it is occurring to me that my insistence that November will equal S5 just like S3-4 is becoming bleaker by the day as Discovery Family restarts with no hints at all.

S5 is 26 eps, right? Are they really going to go January-June with this? November to early May is a good school year timeframe, don't want to let it get to summer...

Going into to summer isn't that bad an idea, given that's usually a pretty dry season for the network. January-June or Febuary-July might help ratings for the summer months. And one can only hope, make a shorter wait between seasons 5 & 6.

Yes, it will be 26 episodes long, though at this rate I wouldn't put it past Hasbro or Discovery Family to try and pull some funky shit where they air 13 episodes starting in January and then 13 more episodes starting in October or November.

Wait, how sure are we that there's even going to be a season 6 at this point?


And, backtracking a tad, I've always considered FiM and EqG to be fairly separate, insomuch that I basically ignore the latter. :pinkieshrug:

Well, someone on staff said they were green lighted for another seven seasons and that was after season two... so rumors! :party:

I know what you must be thinking "but, Sobana, we can't trust rumors." Normally true. But I put more stock if I heard it from the staff. Besides, whats the alternative? Negetive depressive guessing? :smug:

I think that's a miscommunication. All I've ever heard is that some of the show staff think the show could easily last 7-8 seasons, but never an absolute 7 more seasons.


Either way, yeah I think at least a season 6 would be a no brainer.


As for EQG, like any good spin-off it can act as its own thing and an expanded part of the overall ponyverse, just like the comics, but that's just my 2-cents.

That sounds like the mis-reported "five-year plan" that was probably the one they started three years ago.

I am assuming that they do not want to air new episodes during the summer, when (I guess) kids are more likely to be doing things or going outside or whatever. If it happened like I describe then that'd also be a shorter amount of time between the end of S5 and the start of a possible sixth season.

I don't think they are at all opposed to summer Premries. But I do agree a split is possible, they split up season 3 of LPS into 2 parts, 13 Episodes airing during this summer, and the other 13 *supposedly* to start airing in late November. So yeah I could see them airing 13 eps then taking a 3-4 month break before airing the other 13. But I could also see them airing all 26 in succession with only occasional breaks for holidays or other events.

All of the previous seasons were ran straight through. Until get can get something more then mere speculation I'm going to retain that belief. :geno:

Yes, I do think that it's most likely that S5 will not be split up like I describe, but running from January through the end of June would still be somewhat unorthodox. (It'd still be better than waiting until October 2015 to start airing S5, though.)

I think the worst part of the wait this go around is that we don't even know for sure what month new episodes start. Even though it's just been 5 months since Twilight's Kingdom aired, which isn't that long really... The fact we haven't gotten even a hint at what month it will start airing is kind of annoying.

I wanna say maybe we'll get a hint at Hasbro's conference next Monday or KidExpo next month. But at this point I wouldn't hold my breath even on that.


I can't imagine it airing any later then Febuary myself though. *knockonwood*

Apparently Daniel Ingram is in the recording booth with people.

Image
http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/10/p ... -6-or.html

The assumptions have been either (confirming) EqG3, Season 6, or just the final episodes of S5.

I can't say which but to those who said: "It can't be Season 5's last episodes" :-I

There's been shows where they're still trying to finish the final few episodes when the season is just about to appear or even may be airing already. A month or two before Gravity Falls Season 2 aired, Alex Hirschman posted a pic of the crew making the final touches to the premiere episodes. Two months ago, Craig McCracken just announced that they finished the final episode of Wander Over Yonder's Season 1 and that show's been on air since September 2013. And wasn't there something about MLP in S3 or S4 where Thiessen or someone at DHX said that they finally delivered the final episodes for that season when the season was still airing?

So yeah, it's possible it could be some final recordings for the last few episodes of S5. Maybe they had to do a re-recording like how you re-shoot some scenes in movies. :pinkieshrug:

Yeah, my guess is music for the Season 5 finale. Although it could be EQG 3. Highly doubt it's FIM season Six. Even if Hasbro went and Greenlit Season Six, writing for it probsbly wouldn't start for awhile.

Music is the very last thing put into TV shows, so it's most likely something from S5, probably not even the finale.

Considering that Meghan McCarthy only recently tweeted about S5's writing being done, I seriously doubt Daniel Ingram would be composing anything for S6 yet.

True. Will Anderson's background music will likely be the very last thing to go into S5, but they probably bring in Daniel Ingram much earlier. I know he worked closely on the script of MMC with M.A. Larson, even, but that was a special case.

In the old days of animation, it used to be common for Carl Stalling to do music for "Looney Tunes" before animation is even done. The director would do a timing on barsheets, which shows how the action goes (up or down). The music is written based on the timing notes in the bar sheets. Then the animation is done to the pre-timing and music.

Friz Freleng in particular did this a lot, since he knew how to read sheet music.

Not always; many cartoons were animated before any music was done. But there were still a ton of shorts where the underscore music was done in advance, and the cartoon is animated to it.

It's very unlikely to get seven seasons green-lit at once. A seven year span is rather long, anything can happen. Such a thing would be rather risky.

Just because they have that $5 million, doesn't mean it's good to go. It's impossible to know if something, anything could happen, that would prevent MLP from continuing. 7 years is a very long time.
