Man, what a :-/ synopsis.

Still on full ironic watch mode.

EDIT: Quoting for new page:

ilcane87 wrote:New synopsis from the Licensing Expo:

In 2014 music rules and rainbows rock as TWILIGHT SPARKLE and pals complete for the top spot in the CANTERLOT HIGH "Mane Event" talent show. The girls must rock their way to the top, and outshine rival ADAGIO DAZZLE and her band THE DAZZLINGS, to restore harmony back to CANTERLOT HIGH.

This definitely makes it look like Adagio is the main antagonist, contrary to that old slide which pitted the hu-mane 6 against Trixie's band.
I wonder why beating them in a band contest is supposed to "restore harmony" though. :v:

Yep, still sounds like cheesy 80s style fun. I for one am fine with this basically being JEM: Pony Edition. :twiright:

Hey, a new short was leaked early...in Spanish this time though. :-I



Oh, well, something about a carnival and texting and cutie marks as Emojis. Also, as someone who has worked in and around amusement parks, I can confirm that this is exactly how teenage girls act at them.

Damn kids these days, always on their cellular doohickeys! :applejargh:

Overall cute lil short, catchy tune, and fun animation.

But one question, where did Twy get a cellphone? Unless this is human world & not pony Twy... Ahh screw logic, I'm just gonna enjoy the cute/cheesy attempts at recreating 80s pop music! XD

Well, what do you know, there actually was an 8th Short. :allears:
It portrays what happens in the first chapter of the book adaptation, guess the author had to change the order to create a somewhat fitting story.

If they keep up the recent trend of a release every two weeks, we should get the english version tomorrow, or the day after at the latest.

With regards to the Shake Your Tail video, Ishi Rudell (the director) said it was conceived as a music video, so it doesn't exactly fit in the storyline; that is probably the case for this one too, so we shouldn't be thinking too hard about it.

Some fun things to notice in the short.

The thing Flutes hit out of Twy's hand was a Discord Plushie.

So many cell phones... :-/

This wasn't too bad because the gags were pretty good for once. In addition to the previously mentioned:

-Fluts gives a "no big deal" pose while Twi/AJ run off scared
-Pinkie is NOT distorted in the funny mirror

Visually I think this short is the best I've seen from the Equestria Girls series. The carnival scenery looks great and it is populated with lots of characters which makes it feel active and alive. The gags are all pretty good and there's some interesting stuff happening in the background (Big Mac and Cheerilee walking together :smirk: ) The song has a pretty nice feel to it, even though it's all gibberish to me. :v:

I read this to the tune and effort of Well Ferrell's song in Elf now, rather than the actual music. :-I

I would agree. The song is pretty meh, but the visual gags were nice.

Am I bad for legit liking the song and having it stuck in my head all day? Because I legit liked the song and had it stuck in my head all day. :v:

I'm a sucker for music like this, though. Some of the Pokemon intros really hit me with feels, no joke.

The first Pokemon opening (and the rap) are classic earworms. Better music than this (for the opening), much better lyrics. :pinkieshrug:

They're actually being completely literal there. Adagio's band just has lead vocals, guitar, and drums. The HuMane Six's band has enough instruments for more than a melodic line. :iamapony:

I didn't notice any funhouse mirror shenanigans. The EqG proportions are already so wonky, distorting them further offers no new visual distinction. :hithere:

The Pinkie Pie cotton candy gag REALLY reminds me of Fluffle Puff for some reason. Like her little facial quiver in particular.

Favorite mini-gag is probably the scary-funhouse with Fluttershy sobbing as she's dragged in, then coming out all 'Eh, whatever, no big deal' as the other two run away screaming.

I hope these shorts were a taste of what's to come for Rainbow Rocks. I mean, the shorts weren't all unwatchable or something. I'd say the worst of it was the first one with DJ-Pon3, and then the last one. But I feel like I've seen worse stuff on FiM itself. So I feel like the movie is at least going to be "eh". I hope.
