• Nightly Roundup #105

    The recent episode definitely showed off Pinkie Pie's (post-rock farm) "raised by pigs" roots.

    DHX Financial Reports

    Apparently MLP is kicking ass in the financial area. Have some copy paste from Newswire!

    "For Fiscal 2011, Management was very pleased with the growth in producer and service fee revenues, as the Company earned $15.48 million, an increase of 107% over the $7.48 million for Fiscal 2010. DHX Vancouver earned $7.14 million and DHX Wildbrain earned $8.34 million for Fiscal 2011 (Fiscal 2010 was entirely DHX Vancouver). For Fiscal 2011, the breakdown for major projects over $0.10 millionfor DHX Vancouver was $5.83 million for My Little Pony Seasons 1-2 and $1.31 million for Pound Puppies Seasons 1-2.

      It will be soon before I can buy some stocks on Hasbro and become a rich man X3 and if that fails, I can always invest something on Equestria Daily :)

    5. I'm interested in the state of fanfiction on this site.

      Like, today, we had one story update and three new stories "launch".

      After weeks of "too many" (by some people's measure) updates, it seems weird that there were no updates posted. There wasn't a "consolidated updates" list, either, which makes me think of two possible outcomes:

      (1) No one sent in any new updates after the consolidated posts started happening.

      (2) There are updates, they just weren't posted.

      Nothing has been said about it, either. Not in two Nightly Roundups, and not after a certain point in the comments of the last consolidated update post.

      What's going on here, exactly?

    8. I like those party bags! They should definitely bring em to the states.
      Sethisto said "It's only a matter of time before "everybody" is find and replaced with "everypony" and the blues turn to pinks."
      And, aw man, accidentally said everypony IRL yesterday....not sure how to feel about that.

    9. Dayum, that Plymouth SU pony theme is something else. Also, I'm liking those financial figures.

      ReplyDelete
    10. That's a lot of money for Ponies. How was the 3rd Season of Spongebob doing at this appropriate time (Considering how Spongebob didn't become popular until the second season started) Just so we can compare to 2 and see what progress we are at until Ponies is at Spongebob level popularity.

      That subtle clue of third series is still nice to see. But let's get through Season 2 first shall we? We have 25 Brilliant episodes to watch in the upcoming weeks and... wait a minute...

      There's a How to Train Your Dragon Tv Series?? Why has no one informed me of this?

      ReplyDelete
    11. Season 17! It has been confirmed!

      *dies of ecstasy*

      ReplyDelete
    12. @Killsteal_Wolf
      It's not out yet, the how to train your dragon series will air next year. However, DHX media already made some profit with it, so I guess they started production.

      ReplyDelete
    13. It's just fantastic to see how well MLP:FiM has done business wise....definitely great news seeing as that is one major reason to keep making more, and I know we all want A LOT more pony!

    16. @James Corck

      If you are the target consumers of a business and you want to invest money in that business, any profit you make is essentially money you spent in the first place.(or money other /b/ronies put in to the system.)

      ...I'd buy Hasbro stock too, but more because they sell stuff overseas/make a show I like, and not because I would expect to make a profit.

    19. Hey! What gives? We didn't have a Story Update post!

      I find it hard to believe that NOTHING updated this past day...

      ReplyDelete
    20. Wow. That Playstation magazine looks just like Gameinformer. Then again, I should've known better. Only Playstation would endorse one of the most ridiculous handhelds in years... Coincidentally their own.

    21. so...much...ponydom growth. This nightly round up has some really positive vibes for the future!

    22. That's alot of money, but what I find most interesting is there's a Monster High Season1-5. I thought they just made a single one-shot special?

    23. Playstation Magazine should read "Colt" following XD.

    24. I find the lack of fic updates disturbing.

    25. I suspect BroNYcon this weekend might have something to do with the lack of fic updates.

    26. I am in agreement wiht a lot of other folks about being miffed by lack of fic updates.

      Y U abandon fanfiction?

    27. From the Ebay/Merch section the painting commissions.

      And yes they have swapped socks.

    28. MLP is their number one revenue stream, awesome! Second place? The Ricky Gervais Show.

      All around win.

      ReplyDelete
    29. Interesting that MLP made over four times as much as Pound Puppies even though the latter has higher ratings on the hub. Pony merchandise must be selling really well.

      Even gaming magazines are being converted into the herd. Now that they uncomfortably accept it, would be interesting to see how they'd review a licensed game.

      There's never enough chalk ponies. Dash is pretty cute there.

      ReplyDelete
    30. 5.83 Million, That is an insane amount of money. No wonder the staff keeps in contact with us, we are making them rich. Image how much more they would get if they brought out a DVD.

      Why is the Slenderman asking a Playstation magazine if they like MLP? Or a better question is: Why does the Playstation magazine like Yo Gabba Gabba more than MLP? I watched that show once, It reminded me of Toy Story crossed with Katamari Damacy and not in a good way.

    31. @ the people complaining about fanfiction updates.

      Some time ago Seth said that the guy that did all the fan fiction write up stuff for the nightly roundups had his laptop stolen, so there for he hasn't been able to put them up.

      Now about the actual "updates" of stories, from what I can tell Seth is going to that Brony-Con, so he probably has been pre-occupied and so all of the updates are either sitting in his inbox (because people dont' pay attention to what he tells us) or Seth has sent the updates to Cereal and Phoe and they have not gotten teh updates up yet.

      Again, only speculating but I wouldn't worry too much about it.

      ReplyDelete
    32. Omg!!! Season 17 is confirmed!!1!one!! This is pretty circumstantial when it comes to S3, especially since we've only seen one episode of S2 yet. Cool your jets, guys. Just enjoy the season we have right now, the FiM team knows what they're doing.

      ReplyDelete
    33. "confirmed Season three again...."

      What?
      Did I miss something?

      ReplyDelete
    34. @namelesspony

      Considering the show's success so far, Season 3 still seems to be going ahead unless something major happens in this upcoming season (Like, I dunno, Hasbro being involved in a Major Scandal or something that loses their reputation and costs them a lot of money. Not likely, but just saying what possibly can stop the next season). However, since Season 2 has just started, there is no need to formally announce plans for a third season until this one is other. It's just quick words saying that there are plans towards a third season that Hasbro are ok with.

      Only show I've seen having a new season confirmed soo soon in development is Game of Thrones, when Season 2 was announced after the ground-breaking success of Season 1 (Granted, there is more reason for this announcement, since each season seems to be working on a different book in the Song of Ice and Fire series. Whilst Ponies have adventures regularly with new things popping up for each episode. So no really need to announce that "We've got even more new ideas for episodes like the ones you are about to watch in the upcoming weeks")

    35. Hold on everypony!

      I believe the fanfiction updates get their own post now.

    36. The PSN letter only confirms our suspicions…
      All shall be assimilated into the herd, resistance is futile… prepare to be loved and tolerated! (glomps)

      ReplyDelete
    37. @Killsteal_Wolf - You're missing Adventure Time, brony. Season 2 was confirmed before season 1 even started airing, and season 3 within the first few episodes of season 1.

      @B-Man - That's why people are complaining - there wasn't one of those posts today.

      ReplyDelete
    38. Speaking of dragon*con, when are we getting a post with the pics from the meetup there? Had a lot of good cosplay that you couldn't see too well in the Winter Wrap-Up video.

      ReplyDelete
    39. Seems pony is doing decently well in the financial sector, which is always a good sign.

      Hmm, a pony theme for the school's site, wow. All school site's should have this option, am I right? :D

      1600 people... imagine all of them painting ponies. lol Now that's quite a lot of ponies. Even though the 20% Cooler meme is old now, it still works for this no doubt.

      Go Playstation magazine. I always knew there was a reason I liked Playstation. Well, besides the games and all I suppose. :P

      The pony party bags are kinda cute. Nice addition to a FiM Birthday party or such. There seems to be a lack still of G4 party accessories.

      Some of those outfits in the DragonCon video... just absolutely insane. Seriously. It never ceases to amaze me at just how creative and stunning some of these cosplays are. Including that Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy I saw. Quite nice.

      Capped out on chalk ponies? What kind of blasphemy is that?! The answer to that is; Nevar!

      Horsies make the best cake! Truer words were never spoken... right? Right?!

    40. There's a How To Train Your Dragon tv series??

      Oh... I mean... Ponies!!! *Flutteryay*

      "It's no Yo Gabba Gabba". And for that, I am glad.

      ReplyDelete
    41. That DragonCon video.. Dashie cosplayer was cute but HOLY CRAP at that guy (or gal) in the Fallout power armor. That is phenomenal!

      ReplyDelete
    42. I think four seasons is a good size for Friendship is Magic. They should probably move towards more multi part episodes. I don't want the show becoming like The Simpsons.

      ReplyDelete
    43. There's a How to Train Your Dragon series coming out? SWEET!

      ReplyDelete
    44. Wowie Zowie! Those cosplayers at Dragoncom had so many diverse and WELL executed references! Wish I was there!

      ReplyDelete
    45. @aramaru

      Yeah, the person in the Fallout 3 power armor caught me attention multiple times in that video.

      ReplyDelete
    46. fucking LAMBDA 11! that cosplay... so much awesome

      ReplyDelete
    47. just figured i would chime in that DHX Media is the company that owns Studio B, they get paid by hashbro to make episodes. just because DHX Media is making money on ponies does not necessarily mean Hashbro is getting high ratings/making money. season 3 could still be a bust if the ratings dont come through

      ReplyDelete
    48. @pmcollectorboy Agreed. Always better for a show to end while you like it, wondering what could've been, than seeing a show you like slowly get worse and worse and ruining the good memories.

      ReplyDelete
    49. lots of news today. I loved the dragoncon video, I nostalgia'd after seeing some of those costumes :P

      ReplyDelete
    50. Yay.
      I love the Nightly Roundups.

      ReplyDelete
    51. How to train your dragon? Really? A series?

      Man, season 3 is going to kill us all in waiting now...

      Flutterbags are so cute.

      That DragonCon video looks so fun! My friend has been bugging me to go for years. She wants us to go as galactic cheerleaders or something though.

      ReplyDelete
    52. That fallout power armor guy was insane! I also thought the Garrus costume looked pretty legit, and that rainbow dash girl was babin!

      Cupcake Fury needs to be in season 2 btw

    53. Dammit, there's another Plymouth over here in the UK, where I live.
      You got my hopes up, then they were crushed.
      Y U DO DIS

      ReplyDelete
    54. I originally clicked on the link to that cupcake video expecting something completely harmless. I'm currently on the mobile version and so I didn't see anything wrong when it brought me to YouTube and immediately opened the video. AS SOON as I saw mondo media pop up on the screen my eyes widened and I only watched like 10 seconds of it then clicked out.
