You know, not sure if I can go ahead and make this, but we should talk about this ep too - because the ep rules and talking rules!
So yeah, the episode, nice to see the CMC again. And that music video was so well animated, plus a little catchy. Pinkie's Parasprite march everywhere! And what was basically the intro to the A-Team theme during the float building. Does it get any funnier than that?

I liked it, and Babs's accent was so cute and charming, it made me want to see an episode centered around her daily life in Manehattan. I also liked that she actually had a reason to act mean and wasn't just a "token bully" like Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. |

Personally it was one of my favorite episodes, Scootaloo is my favorite pony as far as show goes and I absolutely love the CMC, also no need to attempt to spoiler something... I'm not even sure we have spoiler tags, and anyone who complains about spoilers in this thread, is incredibly silly.

I liked the episode, especially considering topic of bullying. Not many things set me off, but bullying really bothers me. Hopefully we'll get a happier CMC episode next time. The song didn't do much for me. It wasn't bad, but I think most of the other songs leave it in the dust. Hard to compete with all of Daniel's other works of art. |

I didn't like the lyrics that much, but the animation during the sequence while the song was playing was some exemplary stuff for flash, IMO.

I was excited to see a CMC episode, but was doubtful with the appearance of Babs. I was more than won over by the end.
Mostly Unfiltered Reactions:
--------------
Did you see Scootaloo? She got like a half second of air time?! YES
--------------
"Then why do I feel like crying?"
BAM, right in the feels.
--------------
Sweetie Belle sparked! YES
--------------
That was a good float, sad to see it go.
Oh wait, even better float!
-------------
That was a pretty solid moral lesson.

Gotta say, the one thing I absolutely did not like about this episode was all the recycled animation during the song. It felt really lazy and gave me one of those "is this show really worth all the hype?" thoughts.
The rest of the episode recovered pretty nicely from all that, though, and the moral was handled pretty great.

The animation repeated during the chorus, where the song itself repeated. I don't get why some people are angry about that, the song is done in the style of the songs you would hear in Scooby Doo, the video is the same. |

Yeah, I think it was a good time to reuse that sequence, too. It was well enough done that I was going to end up watching it multiple times anyway, so they just saved me the trouble (At least once).

I liked that they hesitated to tell Applejack about what happened, it was realistic and is how I remember dealing with stuff when I was a kid (the first rule of the schoolyard: don't tell adults anything. the second rule of the schoolyard: don't tell adults anything). The kids know that they're supposed to tell the teacher when someone is mean, but still they follow the schoolyard rules and keep silent when the teacher is watching.

And again, sorry about my useage of nonexistant spoiler tags, I'm a member of another Proboards forum with spoiler tags so... yeah.
Again, Manehattan CMC branch episode needs to be written (or some talented person to write a fanfic of it or something).
