I'm going to go ahead and move on over to Italy now, cause this theme is amazing.
For those that weren't aware, the Italian main pony song is completely different from the revamped "My Little Pony" jingle we have out here. They just straight up have a brand new custom one. I posted the short intro version of it a while back, but apparently it has been extended to a full two minutes.
And it's awesome.
Also a new download link.
And an mp3
Translation of short version from (RANDOM STRING OF NUMBERS) in the comments:
In a splendid, colourful, magical world
Little ponies always live in peace and harmony
They make the sun shine
They make the plants grow
And they spread joy!
When you meet them!
Go and fly! My Little Pony!
If you want to meet new friends
Take flight, and listen to your heart
and you can face every adventure
Go and Fly! My Little Pony!
Make your dreams come true
and don't stop!
Don't stop (x3)

ReplyDeleteWow. It really is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThose arms look like gigantic breasts, lol.
ReplyDelete@Kevinhinh
ReplyDeleteToo big for Seth - pick already changed ^^
That was fucking awesome
ReplyDeleteI need a download!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Italy, you're the new Japan.
ReplyDeleteDAMN IT ITALY!! Y U SO AWESOME?!
ReplyDeleteO_O i think they've ruined it, looks to much like an anime
ReplyDeleteOh man, I friggin' love that huge boobed Applejack. No, not like that, it's just goddamn hilarious to see people's reactions to it.
ReplyDeleteI'm spamming it everywhere.
That AJ looked too freakish to me.
ReplyDeleteSeth obviously had to call Trixie so she could kill the monster that was pretending to be Applejack.
I feel complete
ReplyDeleteWhat?! That's ridiculously awesome.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what the f*** they we're saying... But I got a eargasm out of it.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless!!!
Superior intro song is superior.
ReplyDeleteThat thing is taking forever to buffer...
ReplyDeletezomg! best thing eva
ReplyDeleteMy jaw just dislocated again! This was such an awesome intro. You're so lucky, Italian bronies. So what if it looks like an anime intro. This was so awesome. My Italian's a bit on the rusty side, but I definitely understood a good chunk of the lyrics.
ReplyDeletedamn, that Italian intro was really good!
ReplyDeleteMaybe season 3 intro can be a little bit like that...
we can only dream
WHY? WHY DOES ITALY GET A FREAKING AMAZING PMV AS THEIR TITLE SEQUENCE? WHY IS AMERICA STUCK WITH THE JINGLE?
ReplyDeleteAlso, ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
If only i could understand italian....
ReplyDeleteCan I has teh link to old image? I'm curious.
ReplyDelete...And on the next Epic Pony Rap Battles of Equestria, Daniel Ingram vs. Susanna Balbarani.
ReplyDeleteSo this wasn't the actual intro movie then? I mean the song was catchy, but it kind of felt like it was more of a PMV than an opening with how the video itself was made. Even moreso, they used some clips from the second season. I know it's not against the rules or anything, but it just felt off to me.
ReplyDeleteThat.
ReplyDeleteWAS SO COOL!
Yup, that was pretty damn good.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was spiffing! I might just listen to this the rest of the night.
ReplyDeleteneed the lyrics now...
ReplyDeleteHeres the original image link: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jy24tdXBpW0/TxyVAEo34KI/AAAAAAAAcHU/Jdl7AX7T_5w/s1600/116597+-+applejack+artist+cow41087+buck+not_tits.jpg
ReplyDeleteShit is SO CASH.
ReplyDeleteNA audiences should, neigh, DESERVE something this awesome.
They gotta translate this to english and put IT as the show's opener, it would be so awesome!! /)(^3^)(\
ReplyDeleteThat was definitely neat, but I prefer the original. =/
ReplyDeleteDitzy and Derpy are both in the intro.
ReplyDeleteDitzy being the purple haired grey mare she is.
Alongside the adorable Blonde haired grey mare.
Two awesome. The music is good too.
It just looks like a PMV to me. A well made PMV, but it doesnt have an intro-y feel o.o
ReplyDeleteTranslation! We need translation!
ReplyDeleteThis is why I want to learn Italian. I would never watch another English version of this show, ever.
ReplyDeleteItaly gets Rome.
ReplyDeleteItaly gets pasta.
Italy gets to be shaped like a boot.
Italy gets Germany.
And now Italy gets this. What does Amercia get? Nothing good. Nothing good at all. Just crappy MLP toys.
Translation asap!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was the best intro every period.
ReplyDeleteHoly. Oh my gosh, despite it being quite long, I would totally take this intro over the current one. It's the only part of the show I don't like, and I always skip over it. Get translating, Hasbro!
ReplyDeleteI probably said this when you reported the shortened version...
ReplyDeleteBut never before have I been SO PROUD of my heritage. :'D
OHMYGOD THAT WAS AWESOME
ReplyDeleteSomething I'd expect from an anime intro.
ReplyDeleteOK Italy was all was cool to me but it now became way cooler. (resisting the urge to put a percentage there)
ReplyDelete@The Grey Potter That's because this is the extended version, a full song in and of itself. A contracted version is used for the real opening.
ReplyDeleteThe real opening is still 1:13 minutes long, but it is in fact the real opening.
Cripes, their OP is WAY better than the American version. O_o All right, Studio B, you know what you have to do. Get cracking on that new, 1000% more awesome US OP already!
ReplyDeleteItaly seems to do this with a lot of licensed products. I wonder if it's some kind of copyright thing.
ReplyDeleteThis can't be real. This is just so freaking epic! Why the hell can't we get this anywhere else? I absolutely love everything about this intro.
ReplyDeleteBored, put it on YT as well, because why not? http://youtu.be/Ey5ubV7ePoc
ReplyDelete@Brittany
ReplyDeleteActually I think that this is because they have a cartoon industry of their own, plus I think they really care about animated shows.
WOW. What? WOW. Was not expecting anything like that. What was amazing. Wow.
ReplyDeleteI almost like this one more than the english version. Almost.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an anime intro. "Again" from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, anypony?
ReplyDeleteItaly does this for pretty much every cartoon and anime, I think. Sometimes twice, if a show gets syndicated a second time by a different Italian network.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! But unfortunately it's not loading past the 1:25 mark for me, no matter what I do, so I can't hear the end!
ReplyDeleteReminded me of a PMV. An awesome PMV. The music is awesome, but I gotta stick with Danny Ingram on this.
ReplyDelete@Cannonfire40
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm gonna go vomit now.
Guys, the original pic is in drawfriend :]
ReplyDeletewhat was the previous image for the...
ReplyDeleteseth why did you change it
I demand an MP3!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone been able to track down the lyrics? Even if it's in Italian, it could give us something to work with.
ReplyDeleteAwww, now I'm more curious as to what the original image used for this post was. lol
ReplyDeleteBut ah yes, I believe I remember when this was posted a while back. It's a fun theme. Quite catchy too.
So. Awesome. /)(^3^)(\

absolutely amazing! that's really about all i can say
ReplyDeleteThat was awesome. I want to say it was 20% cooler as a meme reference, but lets face it... that was much cooler than just 20%!
ReplyDeletewww.pwnyoutube.com/watch?v=Ey5ubV7ePoc&feature=youtu.be
ReplyDeletethere's for you who want the mp3 only
Subs would be lovely it does seem or like an anime intro, but it kinda destroys what we have.
ReplyDeletesweet celestia, did not see that one coming. that was pretty epic. also, first person to get translation up is a hero
ReplyDeleteGotta admit, I really like this one a lot, even with no idea what they're singing. Nice selection of video clips as well.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't we have this?!
ReplyDeleteSo, that's the full version? Sweet. I like this theme more than the original.
ReplyDeleteOh, and the italian theme is based of the song "One more time" by Real McCoy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzcRvq3uZIA
That is EPIC!
ReplyDeletePlease, please please... someone translate this. I wish to know what is being said.
ReplyDeleteWell it's pretty cool
ReplyDeletenow could someone make a translation please?
So when does the anime and dub come out XD
ReplyDeleteI've only found the lyrics for the short version:
ReplyDeleteIn un mondo splendido,
colorato e magico
Little Pony vivono
pace sempre in armonia
i soli fanno splendere
le piante fanno crescere poi
la gioia fanno scendere
se li conoscerai
(In a splendid world,
colorful and magic,
LITTLE PONY, they live,
peace, always in harmony;
They make the suns shine,
They make the plants grow, then
They make the joy descend,
If you will recognize it.)
Vola e vai My little pony
se nuovi amici vorrai incontrare
prendi il volo ascolta il cuore
e ogni avventura potrai affrontare
(Fly and go, MY LITTLE PONY,
If you want to meet new friends.
Take the flight, listen to the heart,
And you can face every adventure.)
Vola e vai My little pony
realizza i tuoi sogni
e non ti fermare
non ti fermare
(Fly and go, MY LITTLE PONY,
Achieve your dreams,
And do not stop,
And do not stop.)
2 minutes is too long for an intro IMO.
ReplyDeleteIt's really good though. I hope for a translation.
@suburbanbanshee Gah, you beat me to it. I found the lyrics on an Italian dub on YouTube. But again, it was only for the short version.
ReplyDeleteThat was the most amazing intro
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for someone to translate this, also did anyone notice the three young kids at 1:01?
I don't remember seeing them before
It's like Italy has made making PMVs a career path.
ReplyDeleteIt's like the distilled essence of joy has been injected straight into my brain...
ReplyDeleteI prefer ours, to be honest.
ReplyDeleteFirstly: I noticed that there were several scenes in this intro that we have not seen in episodes yet, particularly from 0:28 to 0:31. It wasn't much, but still: spoiler!
ReplyDeleteSecondly: I hope this becomes the show's intro for Season 3. Maybe even sooner.
@Evex_Wolfwing
ReplyDeleteAmerica got this show in the first place. I wouldn't be complaining.
@Travis Smith
ReplyDeleteThey appeared in Call of the Cutie, if I remember, during the part in which Rainbow Dash got Applebloom to try as much sports as possible.
I don't think any of the scenes were new, impressively up-to-date, as the latest ones were from Hearth's Warming Eve, though.
English cover and a mix with the Doctor Who theme, get on it internet.
ReplyDeletePeople are already posting the lyrics for the short version they use for the actual episodes, so instead I'll link to the 'normal' one!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FVqFN_Hn20
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FVqFN_Hn20
ReplyDeleteTranslation of the contracted version for the actual opening exists : )
In a splendid, colourful, magical world
Little ponies always live in peace and harmony
They make the sun shine
They make the plants grow
And they spread joy!
When you meet them!
Go and fly! My Little Pony!
If you want to meet new friends
Take flight, and listen to your heart
and you can face every adventure
Go and Fly! My Little Pony!
Make your dreams come true
and don't stop!
Don't stop (x3)
Why couldn't this have been Spanish. I could have been useful then. My Italian is horrendously rusty; I completely lose them after the second line, per @suburbanbanshee's post.
ReplyDeleteThat's flipping awesome. But what are they saying for two minutes?
ReplyDeleteThere's no new scenes, guys.
ReplyDelete@Mcoov: That is Suited for Success.
The three kids at 1:01 are from, uh... Apple Bloom shenanigans to get a cutiemark. I think Rainbow Dash was involved.
<= Italian
ReplyDeleteBelieve me,this intro is awful
I mean...We have seen worst but still...
P.s: doing intros like this is the go-to way here,next to nothing airs with its original theme...
P.ps:Not sure about the S2 images being there,i avoid the dubbed version like the plague...Still,that wasn't there the few times i watched it
@Sothalic
ReplyDeleteThanks, I havent re watched any of the episodes lately so it's hard to remember certain scenes or characters
this reminds me of the my little pony anime intro
ReplyDelete@hyreia: Shoot, thought it was new.
ReplyDeleteHUB...
ReplyDeleteGODDAMNIT I TRUSTED YOU
FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOUR THEME SONG
@McoovLook again. That's a recoloring of the first fashion show from Suited for Success.
ReplyDeleteIt looks and sounds so much like an anime intro. Not sure if I like it too much.
ReplyDeleteHASBRO!!
ReplyDeleteY U NO SHARE AWESOME INTRO!?
er..not hasbro,hub,I'm so terrible at names
ReplyDeleteTen times better than the original one. And this is coming form someone who was RAISED on MLP.
ReplyDeleteCan I has lyrics?
ReplyDeleteWhat was that part with Celestia leaping through the clouds!? That was awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat was pretty f***ing cool. I agree with Mcoov, this should be the intro for season three except shortened obviously.
ReplyDeletei like the amount of rarity in this one. it almost makes her seem like the mane charecter
ReplyDelete@Fenr Well for those of us that have been watching the same intro for a year plus, this is like a breath of fresh air. I won't (and can't) give you a hard time if you think this is awful, but I think this was a well done intro.
ReplyDeleteI could understand like 4 words that were repeated multiple times in there and they were friends or friendship, magic, pony and harmony
ReplyDeleteThe additional verse is something about clapping, something else, and then "They are the characters of the friends that you will test." And then there's something about "one day you will be" and some more stuff.
ReplyDeleteThe additional chorus verses are something about the future being a picture that you will paint.
This was surprisingly amazing.
ReplyDelete@CityFlyer502 Oh well,i guess i can understand...
ReplyDeleteIt's only that being used to the way they make those intros (take the show->cut/paste random scenes from it->add usually stupid/nonsensical lines [with added bonus lately: add MORE nonsensical bits in english] and music) i can't avoid to hate it
that was very catchy!
ReplyDelete@Fenr I can see how that can be annoying. But this is a world away from what I've seen. Since I travel to Central America to visit family, I've watched Spanish dubs of my favorite shows. Some of them are OK. But what really gets me is that with frightening regularity, they cut out entire scenes from shows. I respect your opinion, but based on what you said, I think it's pretty brilliant that you folks make entirely new intro's instead of just dubbing over the original.
ReplyDeleteThe song was just wow but the visuals were very random but still wow that was awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see this as the S3 Intro.
ReplyDeleteConsidering it's a kid's show, I can see them having an intro that's in the right language. Mighty respectable of'em.
ReplyDeleteAnd while I like the song and the choice of clips, it does seem to kind of lack the emphasis and conclusion the English one does.
Maybe leaving the video intact and just making a new song would've worked better?
We need an english version of this opening in America for season three.
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck was that at 1:10 Celestia flying up in to the air with swirly things around her.
ReplyDeleteWow!, catchy.
ReplyDeleteToo anime-esque for my tastes, but the song is catchy.
ReplyDeleteexcuse my bad english
ReplyDelete"In a splendid, colorful and magical world
my little ponies always live in peace and harmony
shy and nice, stubborn e romantic, are the character of the friends you will find.
every day you will grow, how many problems you will resolve, with the others ponies you know you'll have fun!
Fly and go ! My little pony !
If you wanna meet new friends !
Take flight and listen to your heart, and you can face every adventure.
Fly and go ! My little pony !
Chase your dreams, and don't stop !
Don't stop !"
@Cannonfire40
ReplyDeleteDAT PERSPECTIVE
I like it, all it needs is some polish, definitely better than what I can do (doesn't mean I won't try, though)
Okay, here's a singable translation. (I think it fits the syllable count, anyway.)
ReplyDeleteIn a world that's splendorful,
Colorful and magical,
Little Ponies, so peaceful,
Live in ceaseless harmony, yeah.
They make the sun shine in the day,
They make the plants grow, and then they
Make the joy spread out your way,
If you'll just get to know them!
Go and fly, My Little Pony,
If new friends you're wanting to be meeting,
Now take wing, hear your heart calling,
Each adventure coming, you can be facing.
Go and fly, My Little Pony,
Reach your own dreams
And don't be stopped now!
And don't be stopped now!
@Sparky Luck
ReplyDeleteThat's from "At the Gala" in The Best Night Ever.
I liked the part where Celestia dodged the heat seeking missiles.
ReplyDeleteThe song didn't do much for me personally. I found it to be a kind of bland, cookie-cutter anime style song, so I'm not super jealous myself.
YES YES YES YESSSS!
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS THE BEST SONG
The syllable count of the short theme, anyway. I still don't get the meaning of the additional verse before the chorus in the long version. (But I think what I thought was additional chorus was just me mishearing the Italian repeats of the chorus.)
ReplyDeleteItalian fans, please translate the extra verse! Even if you think it's stupid!
I would like to point out that cartoons exported to Italy nearly always get original title themes. This has been the case since the 1980s and sometimes it snowballs -- the anime Ai Shite Knight got a live-action sequel featuring the voice actors.
ReplyDeleteI want a 5-minute long audio remix of the song in this video on my desk by Monday afternoon, get to it!
ReplyDeleteLove this. Yeah it's like an anime intro, but I've always loved anime intros so for me that's a plus.
ReplyDeleteExcellent as a rather random PMV, but not quite intro-y enough for an intro, IMHO. And I'm glad I don't understand Italian because those translated lyrics are a bit too generic. Much more fun to watch the video and decide for myself what's being said.
ReplyDeleteREST OF THE WORLD
ReplyDeleteლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
Y U NO AS COOL AS ITALY
So much derpy in it! And anime fun? I mean I guess it could be considered that but this is more of a cartoon.
ReplyDelete@CityFlyer502
ReplyDeleteTry searching the english and italian version of the 90's Hulk animated serie
It's quite the example of what there is to hate ^^
@suburbanbanshee
Wich part,4:30 AM here,i'm not at my best for finding things XD
breath of fresh air here.
ReplyDelete0_0 Holy. Shit. That was AMAZING! If this is the real intro, I'm going to have to remember to catch it while I'm in Italy this April. Also, I don't care if they keep it Italian, make this the new intro please!!!! <3
ReplyDelete@suburbanbanshee
ReplyDeletehere, but probably someone else can do a better translation.
"shy and nice, stubborn e romantic, are the character of the friends you will find."
@ShakeNDake
ReplyDeleteThat could be a bit hard,it's no longer on-air (and they were airing it at 6:40 AM splitting each episode in two 10m parts,one each day...Not a great way to show it)
Oh, and I hereby revise the end of my singable translation to:
ReplyDeleteGo and fly, My Little Pony,
And if some new friends you wanna be meeting,
Oh, take wing, hear your heart calling,
Each adventure's one you can be facing.
Go and fly, My Little Pony,
Go after your own dreams
Don't ever stop ever.
Don't you stop ever,
Don't you stop ever,
Don't you stop ever.
working on a power metal cover, stay tuned...
ReplyDeletethink blind guardian...
@tonnonostromo -- You are great! Thank you, that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteAlright, now Japan needs to make their version of this. Because this show is the only show show made in america that is as good as, if not better than, Japanese anime.
ReplyDeleteWTF
ReplyDeleteIf we had that opening I wouldn't want to skip it every episode.
Welp, I know what song is going to be stuck in my head for a while
ReplyDeleteHuh... My critical post on this went missing after it had appeared on the board. A glitch, or did it somehow cross a line?
ReplyDelete@Harwick
ReplyDeleteIt got picked up by bloggers awesome spam filter, I dug it up.
Okay, here's an extra verse suggestion:
ReplyDeleteOne's shy, one loves company,
One's plain, one lives elegantly,
That's the characters you'll see
Of the friends that you will meet.
@Sethisto
ReplyDeleteThanks for the clarification. It wasn't profound enough that I think anyone was really missing out on my opinion, but I was confused as to what had happened.
Awesome!!
ReplyDeletebut why not Michele Luppi for Vocal??
just saying XD
MLP:FiM- The anime intro edition. I like it, though.
ReplyDelete(It really feels like an anime intro!)
Any chance of a legitimate lossless/FLAC encode of this?
ReplyDeleteSilly Seth, everything is better in Italian
ReplyDeleteEargasm!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be on loop for a good while
Seems like the color's been changed, They all seem tanner for some reason...
ReplyDeleteAlright everyone, time to remix the hell out of this.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the Long Version of the Video is a fan made modification of the short version with a longer version of the official song.
ReplyDeleteLet me say again. I believe the song is a legitimate extended version, but the actual video for the long version is a fan-extended version of the official, short version.
Here is my argument:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_fl6x-uvXY
The Italian version's tune, lyrics, and vibe is good: bright, cheerful, and feminine.
ReplyDeleteHowever, it's not great to trade the first-person intimacy and depth of meaning of the English version for a generic pop song sung by someone else. It's too distant.
And us bronies have produced much, much better PMV's.
Personally, I'd like to hear a new English theme song sung by the voice actors, with new animation.
In the meantime, the Italian theme will go nicely on the old iPod with "Equestria Girls".
Ah, I remember when this came out in short form. I'll say pretty much what I said then: I find it hilarious that Trixie's onscreen before any of the mane six (excepting the tiny Twilight in the balloon). Sorry girls, you have to wait because we needed something that went with the reference to magic!
ReplyDeleteYet another one for my folder of surprising/good Italian cartoon themes.
@Dic
ReplyDeleteis not fan made, both have the same voice actress
probably it is a unused extended version or maybe just the opening for season two
I don't think this is the actual intro. I mean, regardless of what it is, nobody wants a TWO MINUTE intro for every episode. And I agree with Dic, it's probably a fan made extended version. (the video, not the song)
ReplyDelete@tonnonostromo
ReplyDeletePlease read what I said. I said the VIDEO is fanmade. The song appears to be a legitimate extended version, but the video itself (the moving picture part without the audio) appears to be fanmade due to reasons I point out.
Who wrote it? Who's the composer? Who performs/sings it? Who wrote the lyrics? I must know these things.

ReplyDeleteok but that setion of that site is for original openings\endings of cartoons and animes, not for fan made content
Mother of god...
ReplyDeleteNow THIS is a song I would put on my Ipod, better than ours at any rate.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like something from an anime...
ReplyDeleteBRILLIANT!
Looks VERY Animeish.
ReplyDeleteVery well done I say.
Jizz-tacular, cum-tastic! It was like a normal pmv but super awesome because this one is official =D
ReplyDeleteIf this was the intro, it might be easier to convince people to watch the show, considering how the throwback to the old theme at the beginning of the new one is quite a hurdle to get across
ReplyDeleteSo, Italy made the show look Japanese? Makes sense.
ReplyDeleteVery cool.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they will jazz up the english version like this one for season 3?
I watch the Italian dub on a frequent basis.
ReplyDeleteThe voice acting is quite amazing as well. Italy really did a great dub.
Wow, that was surprisingly awesome. Great song and great video!
ReplyDeleteMmh ? Italian, really ? Sounds a bit like the intro of the animes one of my brother listen to.
ReplyDeletePretty good.
@Nova25
ReplyDelete*Japanese animes
It is very animesque (not sure if that's a word, but meh), although that's not necessarily a bad thing. I am an avid anime watcher and their opening themes often run the 1:30-2:00 minute mark so that wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, but I could see where a lot of people would have a hard time with it (yes, I am someone who will watch the openings on every single episode of an anime, so long as the opening is halfway decent). Overall I liked this; the song was catchy and I think the video does a decent job of highlighting the show and could pull first time viewers in.
ReplyDeleteI agree that some distance from the older MLP theme might be beneficial as there are a number of people put off of even giving it a chance because they remember the 80's version.
On the other hand I know there are also a number of people who were brought into the MLP:FIM fandom because they enjoyed the originals, so it's a tough call.
Anyway, just my two bits.
An… interesting decision. I personally don't like the way they did it, considering that FiM have caught my attention where anime stopped being entertaining. If the original opening was anything like this one I'd most likely drop the show instantly.
ReplyDeleteStill I appreciate the attempt to actually rework instead of simply translating the show.
Japan is gonna have rough competition when it airs there!
ReplyDeleteI can't stop hearing "Påla en paj" (which is Swedish for... when you use a pole on a pie...)
ReplyDeleteFANTASTICO!
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS AMAZING!
ReplyDeleted'awwww. me likey.
ReplyDelete@Liggliluff
ReplyDeleteNu när du säger det så är det det enda jag hör med. :(
Why you do this???
nonti panali....
ReplyDeleteindeed
That was SO BOMB! I HATE how US shows always gimp opening themes / closing themes so they can fit inmore commercials!
ReplyDeleteOh well, now I'm just gonna wait for the (hopefully) inevitable Super Ponybeat version...
It sounds great, but the genre doesn't fit for FIM. It sounds like something from an anime. Also, I don't care for the lyrics as much as the original.
ReplyDeletemeh... such a mess
ReplyDeleteSO MUCH WIN
ReplyDeleteUnintelligable (to me at least) words and great music? This reminds me of Derpy cardcaptor.
Molto bene. While it did sound a bit like an anime opening theme it was still really well done.
ReplyDeleteWell, duh. Italian here. And i don't think an italian remix was necessary. The original jingle is good as it is, short and fresh. A 2 mins long intro is not only redundant, but full of DAMN SPOILERS. Seriously, never had the thrill of watching a new episode and then find yourself saying "Ehi, i know what's going to happen, i saw in the intro. Crap."
ReplyDeleteHappens all the time with our EARGASMIC jingles. Bitter, i know, but remaking intros is changing something that was NOT intended to be changed. My two cents, really. Original song is original. Btw, i find our bubbing pretty pathetic too.
good song, but long,
ReplyDeletenice video. but to may spoilers....and long
but a bit of a mess
over all. english one is better :)
@ 1:00
ReplyDeleteA new CMC episode or did I miss something O.o?
