Nightly Roundup #166

That's a turkey Trixie.  You got your meats wrong.

Happy Thanksgiving! Have an early nightly roundup so you can go to bed.


At the Gala German Version



Do they usually cross cartoons over in pretty much every language on the planet? Or did FiM just pull off the success thing really well?


Voice Cracks are Magic: Sweetie Belle Edition



I really like her Maaen!


Andrea Libman's Facebook Page

She only has 234 likes. THIS IS UNCALLED FOR. Get over there and like her!


Bronies United Giggle at the Ghostly Singalong

I don't do show covers anymore, but bronies united breaks with the sheer size of these projects! Check it out below.




More Pony Removed from Youtube

A few more channels have been nuked on Youtube. The odd thing is, they always hit one or two, never all of them.

I got nothin' else, its the same deal as last time. Hope it doesn't continue!


St. Judes Donation Drive on MLP Facebook Page

For those that haven't bought the Twilight Sparkle "Teacher for a Day" app, it might be time to pick it up! The MLP Facebook page is taking 100% of the profits from it and sending them off to St. Jude's Children's hospital. This ends on the 28th of November, so don't delay!


Naughty Or Nice Voting

Discord is currently sitting at just 60% on the Naughty and Nice page! This is uncalled for! Get over there and vote!

An actual nightly?! Whoa!

Bombedrumbum said...

I like that title image :)



So......EARLY

Renegade Of Funk said...

TF2 made me awake for roundups

Bombedrumbum said...

And yeah, I know that this is supposed to be the correct time for a nightly round-up, but still.....

wackypony said...

early is fucking early. god dayum.

Mr. Unsmiley said...

Bronies United? Actually pretty well done.

Ikusa GT said...

The copyright claim on the videos doesn't look legit. It's all in captial letters. It's people abusing the DMCA again

dmtactical said...

Go ahead and nuke youtube channels, just let me buy my DVD box set please...

Samuel said...

@Ikusa GT
Yeah! Damn those trolls!

Loneheart said...

Oh god. Slender pony Spike

The RPGenius said...

Oh come on. I love Discord as much as the next brony, but you're delusional if you think he holds a candle next to the anarchistic embodiment of chaos that is the Joker. Let's not let our MLP fanboyism blind us to reality, now.

SpeshBun said...

I can't like it more than once!

Select Few said...

..Am I the only one who read "NSW Brony Meetup" as "NSFW Brony Meetup"?

SubjectNumber2394 said...

"So you can go to bed" But...I don't want to go to bed, it's only 4 in the afternoon where I am!

soan said...

The "I got beef" is reference to Scott Pilgrim vs the World, I think.

Spitfire not the wonderbolt said...

Man, someone needs to start a local brony meetup... IDEA!!!!!

Anyway, have a Happy Thanksgiving everypony!

Celestia said...

@Select Few

Even if you're not the only one who read it as that you won't be the only one to have thought it was similar.

News was interesting. Havent seen a Nightmare Moon plushie in a long time, when's there going to be one of me?

Oh and:
I REALLY like her mane!
that sweetie belle video was cute.

Sleepingcobrox said...

Just make the account for it Seth. we can't always remind people that Equestria Daily exists.

As the main blogger, you should at least do your part for this awards thing going on.

On the other hand though, if you have too much content to post for you to make an account or if college finals are coming, then I'll understand.

pmcollectorboy said...

I love you, Sweetie Belle.

I hate you, Youtube trolls.

Split Lighting said...

Dat NightMare Moon plushie is amazing! HOLY CRAP!

Jelfes said...

Don't worry, everypony. If Hasbro were actually taking down our video then nearly every video would be taken down, not just a few channels.

EthanStroup said...

Holy Celestia, that voice cracks thing is bucking hilarious.

keneticpest said...

They just had too bomb my favorite uploader didn't they.
BeanyOne, your videos will be missed. I'll still check out your channel for updates and your LPs though.

Bpendragon said...

Actually Phineas and Ferb has also made it in to several languages, like a ton of them. So if it's popular eough, yes it'll be translated

Synyk said...

Wait it's 11 but here it's 10?

Khainzor said...

MLP in German is heresy. The fould language where everything sounds like execution order breaks the spirit of it D:

keneticpest said...

I think I can go and honestly say, I hate these youtube trolls. I know that's exactly what they want, but I hate them and their very existence. I know I should love & tolerate, but these "people" don't deserve any respect what-so-god-damn ever, nor do they need love, nor should they be tolerated.

Jelfes said...

Voice cracking Sweetie Belle is best Sweetie Belle.

SgtGarand said...

Woa..I actually get to read the nightly before I have to go to bed. Which I have to do soon since I will have to get up early tomorrow so I can be at work dealing with all the shoppers..

Gotta love Sweetie Belle and her voice cracks.

That singalong was actually really good.

*Sighs* Damn trolls/parasprites for having nothing better to do than to attack the show and it's fans. And damn YouTube for letting the system be so easily abused.

That Spike pony...."Dude!, that's creepy.." but I'm sure someone will like it enough to bid.

TaylorRose said...

Discord must win! I understand that the Joker is a big baddie, but it seems that a lot of people aren't taking Discord seriously just because he was in a show for "kids", and therefore didn't do anything too "drastic". If you really think about it, everything he did to cause chaos in the world really was dangerous to, well, the world! And he frickin messed with the mane six psychologically - I personally prefer a villain that plays with his prey instead of just going in and trying to kill them or mortally injure them.

Moonshine said...

You mean I can't vote for Pinkie Pie as being the greatest evil in the universe? Rigged, I tell you. She's the biggest villain in FiM. Just wait and see.

She gets my vote here for creepiest fucking animated character EVER, anyway. *shudder*

Octavia said...

Wow... indeed. This one is really early compared to even the ones lately that seemed early to the ones a month or two back. lol

The languages they put a cartoon in obviously depends on which countries they decide to air it in. :P The German At The Gala wasn't bad. I enjoyed listening to it anyway.

The numerous voice cracks in FiM make me giggle honestly. <3

Like I said in the last post, Andrea's FB will probably go from a couple hundred likes to a couple thousand in no time at all now. :P

That Giggle at the Ghostly singalong was good. Synched well and sounded decent. Nice job.

More channels getting axed on YouTube? Ugh. It's likely just trolls again of course. Relentless they be. They will most likely just continue doing it too. It's a shame that some random jerks can get someone's channel taken down like that. There should be a better system put in place.

Oh wow, 100% of the profits from the Teacher for a Day app going to the St Jude's Children's Hospital. That's very nice of them.

Discord's only at 60% now in the Naughty or Nice voting? Dang. He went down a lot since earlier. The Joker appears to be a very worthy avisari indeed.

Huh, Blogger Choice Awards. Interesting. Yeah, I say toss EqD in there and see what happens. With all the people here that would vote for it, it might just win. It couldn't hurt.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. :)

Celestia said...

@Discord

Even I voted for you. Can't have you losing after all.
Not that you will lose.

Harwick said...

Sweetie Belle takes after her big sister by giving the best line readings in her group of friends.

And as I said in the dedicated thread for the Naughty thing, I love Mark Hamill's Joker. One of the best performances ever in animation. But why would I tell the Hub that I'm more excited about reruns of a villain they can't possibly give me more of instead of giving my support to a villain that I'd love to see return? Do people really think B:TAS needs the validation of winning a Hub online poll?

Calamus_Dash said...

Does anyone else just tell time by waiting for the nightly roundup, then going to bed?
Cause I know I do.

Discord said...

@Celestia

The joker is not a problem

The one that is problematic is Megatron for he has a bigger fanbase than I, but it could go either way for the fanbase in its whole is not in on the action

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

Optimus Prime vs. Batman...

Damn... that one is hard...

SgtGarand said...

@Celestia There has been one of you Celestia. Right here: [Link]
And done by the talented Magnastorm, no less.


Oh and before I forget again... Happy Thanksgiving everypony!

Soulless-5 said...

Yay our meet up in Australia is finally posted and even outnumbers an american meetup!

Celestia said...

@Discord

Neither is theirs, it could go either way.

Coolblue said...

Sadly, I missed Phoenix's Brony Meetup. Then again, i'm 14 and in school. :P

BeanyOne said...

There's pretty much zero chance my channel was hit with actual takedown notices...especially considering the videos were hit not once, but twice. In two very specific groups.

That said, I'm not entirely certain how to go about specifically appealing the process, but I do not intend to let things end as they are. I dumped a LOT of effort into my captions, and I'm absolutely astounded by the response to what happened to my channel, especially considering there's plenty of others whose viewcounts dwarf mine.

What I might end up doing is uploading the eps with subs to dotsub. Incidentally, if you do a search on UniversalSubtitles for my videos, you will find all of season 2 still playable from there for some reason. Apparently Youtube cannot block sites that have already linked through to the videos, as all a "copyright removal" does is force the video to become locked private.

Watch this space for further updates. (don't watch this space, you'll hurt your eyes)

Bill VII said...

@The RPGenius

Seconded. If a character well known as a Q rehash can best Mark Hamill's Joker, it's nigh abandon ship. Don't let fanboyism sway fair contest, or the knockback from the rest of the internet could be massive.

Discord said...

@Celestia

I was talking about there fanbase at that time.

TheSweetestBelle said...

Sweetie Belle voice crack video?

All of my HNNNNG

So. Much. Adorable.

TomA62975 said...

... And yet it is still early morning for me and the roundup wasn't here when I woke up. I sometimes dislike being in England and waking up at 5:30am...

Bill VII said...

Welp, I'll be in the shitstorm shelter. See you when it's passed.

The Numberman said...

@Sleepingcobrox I think Seth is to, uh, modest (maybe?)to do that. Lazy is just an excuse.

Onipolice said...

Sweetie Belle is super adorable.

AspectOfTheStorm said...

I'm getting scared with these youtube removals. I upload every episode along with all my music, so it would suck to have my whole channel go down because of it. If they do find out, hopefully they only remove the episodes and not my entire channel.

Biel3g said...

i liked to know there is MLP in germany, this helps to build a theory of anything famous is translated beyond the multi-5 languages *you know, english,spanish,italian,french and germany, europe's most important languages. And there's also a portuguese translation, but i hate i the most.

milleniummaster18 said...

Well, pony is getting removed little by little on YouTube. I think we have two ponies who'd love to exaggerate the shit out of it, don't we? (Aside from drama queen Rarity, of course.)

Redundancy in the Nightly Roundup? "This is uncalled for! Get over there and [insert order here]"

I think the German dub is so far my favorite, you can tell they have really put a lot of work into it. Of all the singing, only Rainbow Dash's fell short and that's understandable, it's the hardest part of the song to pull off and the German language doesn't lend itself well to the style needed for her lines. Overall, I would say they all did an amazing job!

Arcane Scroll said...

OMG, round two just started and Team MLP is already killing the competition!

Blaze Bolt said...

You know you've been playing Skyrim to long when you go to EQD and the Nightly Roundup is up.

Senior Waffles said...

Yay Sweetie Belle! I could totally voice her! But she'd sound like a bear chewing gravel most of the time...
Also, too much non Sweetie Belle's voice crack, but still fun.
That Rarity plush is epic. Really well designed and looks very soft, plus you got the mane right! Rarity is so best pony (of the mane six), nopony tops Derpy.

Anyone in the ENTIRE fandom know where I could find those 2 stories ? (or if you have a ''save'' of them)

-Estrella Noctis
and
-Magic touch

...apparently they were on this website, but vanished or were removed(by author, for weird/unknown reasons).

Especially 'Estrella Noctis', it had quite a few Chapters...

Jango-Fett said...

Tell him I'm a vegaterian, and I ain't f***ing scared of him!

Ichise said...

@Jango-Fett: Thank you. I was worried I was the only pony thinking of that come back.

Blue fox said...

Are those people who can't even spell Hasbro right, taking down more MLP video's

Arcane Scroll said...

@Nova25
Estrella Noctis appears to have been removed from FIMfiction, I couldn't find any other copies.

Arcane Scroll said...

@Arcane Scroll
Turns out the author removed it for some reason.

Ratnap said...

I hate to say it, but you’re wrong. The german dub is simply horrible. It’s awful even! The voices are all too high pitched (very girly), they all sound almost the same and have lost a lot of charme with the dub >.<
Almost all “Language jokes” in the show are impossible to adapt to german. “Everypony, anypony, nopony” and everything else like that doesn’t even have an equivalent in german. Or like in “The staremaster” When Fluttershy wants to play “shush” and the CMC’s are telling “Me lost, me to, me three!” The joke isn’t even mentioned in german and that’s only the top of the iceberg.
There are even really big faults in the translation were the sense is completely reversed. It isn’t fun to watch the show in german at all if you know the English version :/
I have made a workmate a bronie to. He saw the first episode in English while the show was airing the first time in Germany so he took the opportunity to watch it in german after this. Tell you what? He immediately hated the german version, you get toothache from it believe me >.<
Buck it, they didn’t even _tried_ to give Applejack a slang, all of them speak “Hochdeutsch” (means the same like oxford English for you) and Fluttershy is way too loud. They even translate well known and accepted Anglicism’s like “cool” in the show that simply makes them sound weird and “not from this world”. And they didn’t made any effort to search for voice who at least remember to the original ones (when I see that private persons like BaldDumboRat on youtube could change their voices to match half of the ponies who have ever spoken in the show I can’t understand that they weren’t able to match even ONE voice of the main actors with german actors >.< )
No, they haven’t made a lot of effort to translate the show sadly :/ and I wouldn’t buy the DVD’s of the show when they don’t have an option to change the language to the original english one, even when I’m not able to understand each single word.

aki1993 said...

this is the first nightly round up ive been up for! ive accomplished something, woo!

8bitbleepbleep said...

And that's why Sweetie Belle's the best CMC

Kizi said...

Want that Octavia plushie! >.<

Sigma Silver said...

Oh God.. it's going to come down to Optimus Prime versus Pinkie Pie, isn't it it? NOOO! Don't make me choose!!

Unknown said...

To everyone who doesn't want to take any chances, upload all your favorite MLP episodes to your computer from Youtube using sites like Keepvids. When the parasprites devour the channels and videos, they'll still be safe on your computer.

James Corck said...

Pony removed from YouTube.

I always worry when that happens, but in the end is pretty much boring news. Things will get solved eventually.

HURNG said...

Why are so many female bronies horribly obese?

Zephyr Flash said...

Come on everypony! Use those links above and get to voting for EQD!

drakrrth said...

I think the removal of videos from Youtube are irritating, but as long as Hasbro's not the one doing it... Maybe we should get the Youtube admin to simply block all MLP:FiM copyright claims? Hasbro themselves can send a letter if they really want to, trolls can't.

I'm quite floored that Pinkie Pie is curb-stomping Chris at 92% as of this writing. And it's impressive that Discord is 0wning even the Joker. Granted, it's -only- 70%, but the Joker's more well known than whoever that Chris guy is. (Seriously, who on earth is that?)

ecmc1093 said...

Apparently the Naughty/Nice thing is rigged. There are ponychan/4chan threads about it but here just have the primary source:

http://www.hubworld.com/hubworld/content/show-special-content/naughty-or-nice/indexround2.html
http://www.hubworld.com/hubworld/content/show-special-content/naughty-or-nice/indexround3.html
http://www.hubworld.com/hubworld/content/show-special-content/naughty-or-nice/indexround4.html

Click on "View bracket" on each page and all should be clear. Some have suggested they may just be placeholders but idk.

Andrea Libman:
"You're... Going to LIKE MEEEEE!"

Time to check out those five-stars up above.

Gentlecolt said...

Oh Celestia they took down Beanyone's videos? All his hard work.. Now im sad.

graywolf688 said...

If the posters aren't scared of filing a counter claim they'll be back.
Just rest assured that the trolls doing these claims have no life unlike the rest of us. Let them fondle themselves over their work.

jodyjm13 said...

@ecmc1093
We should find out soon enough if those pages are just placeholders; right now, Dan is mopping the floor with Larry McLeish, and Batman and Snake Eyes are leading their respective polls, despite what the "round 2" page has listed.

jodyjm13 said...

I really really wish I had posted this last night when the evening roundup first went live, but better late than never. The Hub has used fanart in their "Naughty Or Nice?" promotion: one of Briskby's drawings of Discord is visible in the main commercial, and if you check the video clip linked to in the "more info" screen for Discord, you can get a better view of Briskby's drawing.

Sourcils said...

The Joker is far, far worse than Discord. If you doubt it, well there's that whole "Emperor Joker" story arc where he gets godlike powers. In the comic version, he EATS the entire population of China... as dim sums. In the Batman, the Brave and the Bold version, he sings a song so epic (Where's the Fun in That?) it destroys the universe. Google it. It's awesome.

Plus, he has, what, seventy years of evil and mischief under his belt, while Discord has only forty (awesome) minutes of screentime. Still impressive, for such a new character.

ThemsAllTook said...

That Sweetie Belle video!

G Whoves said...

Please tell me that somepony noticed that they translated the names of the main six as they sang. You aren't supposed to do that when you go from one language to another. Names stay the same. It's a name confound it

Walter44 said...

Seth, you make it sound like German was some obscure language that is only spoken in some small country with a couple of hundred people. I mean, Germany alone has more than 80 million inhabitants and there are also Austria and parts of Switzerland. Plus, Germany is one of the biggest economic players in Europe.
As for the dub itself: I think a lot of my fellow German Bronies tend to overreact about this. Yeah, the English dub is definitely superior, the voices could've been better and some translations are...just stupid (Twilight adresses Celestia with "Du", which is a rather informal translations for "you", primarily used towards friends and family and not superiors or even royalty, where the translation should be "Ihr" or at least "Sie", and don't get me started on the translation for "Cutie Mark" and subsequently "Cutie Mark Crusaders") but I think they did an okay job overall...

Walter44 said...

@G Whoves They didn't translate the names. I know, because I watched several episodes in German. The names aren't even in the song! What are you talking about?

pmcollectorboy said...

I really can't tell if that's the famous EvilSugar Pinkie Pie that was floating around Youmacon. She never mentioned whom she sold it to, but the grin on the front looks familiar.

Marlon said...

Boah ... the german version sucks -.- And i'm german...

Apparently Twilight botched a spell and turned Spike into an Umbreon.

nathandash said...

THE WORLD MUST KNOW THAT EqD IS BEST BLOG!!!

*votes for EqD*

Senior Waffles said...

I unno why everybody's hating on the German version. German is a harsh a language and it's very difficult to sing in German and for it to sound nice but I thought the vocals were pretty good. And if that is any indication of how good they're normal speaking voices are then I approve.

Mason al'Cat said...

Discord and Pinky definitively take this round in the Naughty or Nice contest. It was no contest. The Bronies have spoken!!!

mimiskitty said...

It's my Pinkie Pie Baby!!! *SNIFFLES* I love seeing people be all happy with my plushies!

You know, Seth always posts all the SUCCESSFUL meetups. I wonder how many failed ones take place every day...

I'll be making a plushie of you soon, too, my Princess!
