It really is the the american century of humiliation for ponies, china keeps winning with all their g4 stuff. Pretty good animation from the chinese side of the fandom, at this rate g4 will just be revived for the chinese market only

That's a good thing. Hasbro is the company that always goes toy first, story second. Faust did not depart right before The Canterlot Wedding without a reason. Then there's Twilight's castle and later school. G4 started off pretty nicely with its slice of life + mysticism but the corpo got to it. I'm all in for a reboot even if I'll have to watch it with subtitles.

Nobody has time for this stuff. It's cool, but only a bugman would have the time (and discipline) for this type of animation, these days.
Not to mention if it was done in Flash—that makes it even more impressive, because Flash is a bitch.

Just as mlp starts to lose a little traction in the west, it explodes in popularity in the east. Lauren Faust created the singularity of this timeline, and we haven't even realized it yet. Hasbro's copyright might keep the world safe for now, but imagine how much FiM will explode once it enters public domain. Anyone could make any content with any pony characters they want and publish it. Humanity will be culturally consumed and dominated under a wave of pastel colored, vaguely equine-shaped amorphous blobs.
It's like the thought experiment of an AI designed to make paperclips so it takes over the world and kills off humanity to maximize paperclip production, except its human nature loving cute ponies so much that all else is forfeited to the goal of cute-ifying everything into ponies.

You know?!
I see how it is. You cannot escape to Equestria, so you plan to turn Earth into Equestria! Lauren planted the seeds right under everyone's noses and then left before anyone could realize what she'd done. The executives at hasbro caught on and tried to stop it. The made seasons 8 and 9 shit to drive the franchise into the ground, but it didn't work. Next, they made G5 to try and discredit everything established by G4, but it also didn't work. They were too late, and now no amount of corporate retardation can kill the ponification, but merely hold it back temporarily.
I need to leave here before the hive mind consumes me, but darn it if the colorful ponies aren't so aesthetically pleasing...

Not to discredit the artists that did a great job, but it didn't do anything to drive fandom interest. They made a hasbro ad for a chinese celebration I know nothing about, using the same story beats and status quo that's been done since Winter Wrap Up, in a language I can't understand. At least I chuckled at Fluttershy vs the blender.

This.
The show was always intended to be SoL.
Even in a brony documentary interview, Lauren Faust says that Season 1 (and presumably Season 2) was 83% of her vision and how she wanted FiM to look.
Hasbro being a toy first company was only a part of why she left the show. It is not unreasonable to say that a major (and probably main) reason for Lauren Faust leaving FiM was her miscarriage and the subsequent depression.

Not bad.
There's clear effort put into imitating the original show and the final image is pretty cute.
My main issue with it has to do with how impersonal it feels. This doesn't have to do with him trying to imitate the show's style, but I don't feel I'm being told anything about the author other than "He likes My Little Pony".
To put an example of an author being reflected by his work, Button Mash is a classic fan-made pony video imitating (way better) the show's animation. The difference here is that you can tell Jan has taken multiple inspirations from 2010's media to make this, even if he does not directly reference any of them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFe2MckUAC0

On a different tangent, what's this obsession some of you have with the west losing and asians winning? art isn't a competition. Xing Jinping won't send you any of the cool MLP merch they have just for sucking his CCP cock. You're only getting the cheap shit Hasbro asked them to produce for the west.

This whole thing reminds me why this franchise is so fucked up in the first place.
You'll either clap like morons at Hasbro for even showing a glimpse of new G4 lore or clap like retards at any rice farmer for making surface level imitations of Friendship is Magic's art style.
Whatever the case might be, you don't care about FiM as an piece of artwork but as a brand you must look at and say "I KNOW WHAT THAT IS!"

It's fucked up how faggots and third-worlders try to make everything into "X nation DOMINATES, Y nation will NEVER RECOVER". Can't you put pony above nationalistic dick-swinging? Even if there are serious geopolitical issues, which country makes the best pony animations is not one of them and bickering over it only serves the propaganda machine.
>>43100130
>I don't feel I'm being told anything about the author other than "He likes My Little Pony"
I agree that the video doesn't try to tell a very sophisticated story, but I wouldn't say that taking inspiration from multiple pop culture sources makes a creative work more interesting, or even that a creative work needs to tell you about the author in order to have depth beyond surface-level aesthetics.
It was really interesting how everything was adapted to Chinese culture, food, decorations, etc, but the "pony"-ness of it, especially the M6's expressions, was still preserved almost perfectly. It was neat how Applejack's verse was a modification of the melody from "Apples to the Core", and I bet there were more musical references that I missed.
>what's this obsession some of you have with the west losing and asians winning?
You're certainly right that it's retarded. A lot of this is also from masochistic westerners or resentful third-worlders.

Wholly agree. Apparently it was a group of fanartists paid by Bilibili that made it, which has me curious to know if Bilibili or Hasbro had heavy limitations over what they were able to do. To compare another semi-official fan work, I like the way this ad was done https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Sw1TY9EMa/
Fillies dancing to c-pop as moe blobs strays so far from anything you'd would expect from Hasbro that it's refreshing, even if it might be lacking personal touches due to corporate oversight.

I am sufficiently increased to unleash a little autism.

In the thread, many allegations have been made against this animation. All of them are false, and will fall apart with any scrutiny.

>it uses stolen assets!
There are many free Flash rigs of the characters publicly available like the Double Rainboom ones, there's no need to use the leaked ones. In fact, since the original rigs use proprietary plug-ins, it's impossible to use them without modification.

>i can't understand what they're saying, so it's bad!
The ponies are preparing for a Chinese festival of some kind, and they are all fucking up until they come together to help each other. I managed to gleam all of this while being held back by severe autism.

>it's not what i expect in a fan episode!
