Chrysalis is always related

We have a couple of those simple/quick completely animations this time around, with two drawn ones and two Source Filmmaker style to follow those.  Head on down past the break for all of them!

Pony Notebooks

It might be a bit late for Back to School season, but over in Chile, a new lineup of MLP Notebooks have popped up.  How many of you would be badass enough to bust out one of these in your highschool/college class room? 

Thanks to GamesmasterTom and BritishStarr for the heads up!

Story: Asylum (Update Part 13!)

[Sad] This is a story that differentiates itself from all other "Pony is Insane" stories by rightfully deserving its "Sad" tag, but not needing a "Dark" one. One enters the story wondering when Twilight is going to realize it is all fake. Whatever the author's future intent may be, one finishes the chapters presented here simply hoping that she gets better... -Prereader #13

Author: Derek (Daemon of Decay)

Description: When Twilight Sparkle slipped beneath the covers last night, everything had been fine. She had friends whom she loved, a teacher she adored, and a bright future ahead of her. But when she woke up, her blankets and quilts had been replaced by hospital gowns and padded restraints. Everything is wrong and nothing makes sense; even her friends have changed. The doctors, they keep telling her that she is sick, that none of it was real and it was all in her head. They’re lying. She remembers a life far beyond the hospital walls. She couldn't have made it all up on her own. They must be lying… right?

Story: Freeze Frame (Update Sequel Part 5!)

[Adventure] [Slice of Life]

Author: ToixStory

Description: “If you can make it in Fillydelphia, you can make it anywhere,” or so the saying goes. When a young mare comes to the big city with dreams of being a reporter, she is instead thrust into a world of corruption and squalor where she will need the strength of friends to survive.

Drawfriend Stuff #694

I remember renting this movie five or six times when I was around eight years old.  I never actually "got" it, but the forest was cool.

Have some art!

Story: Sundown

[Sad][Shipping] A story that ranges from bittersweet to heartbreaking, one that speaks to the emotions of the reader without devolving into a mess of purple prose. -Prereader #13

Author: LEPShot

Description: "Immortality" is such a vague, misleading term. When the fires of life have perished, and all that once tied you to the world is gone, even a Goddess can die.

-scheduled to begin airing on TV Tokyo in April of this year
- the show will be available in both Japanese dub and original English
-recognition of older pony fans was mentioned
-4 of the mane 6 voice actresses were revealed:
                      - Applejack: 徳井青空　Sora Tokui 
                      - Rarity: 佐々木未来　Mikoi Sasaki
                      - Pinkie Pie: 三森すずこ　Suzuko Mimori  
                      - Rainbow Dash: 橘田いずみ　Izumi Kitta

- Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy will be revealed at an event in March
- toy line marketed towards young girls
- other merchandise such as magazines, accessories, and smart phone applications will be marketed towards middle school age through college (and if I know my Japanese marketing, you are SURE to get a TON of awesome, made only in Japan pony merch!)
- new website: http://mylittleponyjapan.com (under construction)
- 52 episodes confirmed (season 1-2) but if it remains popular, we are sure to get season 3 and beyond

Nightly Roundup #561

Hello again everyone! Sorry for the lack of a Roundup last night, there was a real life scheduling conflict between Seth and I so the news ended up being put to the wayside yesterday. Hopefully some Apple Fritter for tonight's header (plus the extra dose of news) will serve as an apology for the missed Roundup!

Anyhow, it's a new week of Calpain Roundups, so what should the header be for tomorrow night? Leave your vote down in the comments!

On to the news!
