Nightly Roundup #1253

Chrysalis has the most character portrayal whiplash I've seen in the fandom. She can be adorable while hanging out with Flufflepuff or an absolute monster! She really is quite versatile.

News time guys! Just a little bit to start your weekend with. Get it all after the break.

More Pony Coming to Japan?

Remember the Japan Time posts we used to have for the first two Japanese dubbed seasons of pony? For quite awhile things have been silent on the Japan front, but now some encouraging news has popped up as of late.

Recently, clips of the EqG movies dubbed into Japanese have appeared (which we put in the Roundup) and today some more tips have appeared. Apparently there is going to be a Pony Cafe set up to promote ponies over there and recently the VA for Japanese Pinkie Pie tweeted she had voiced a few episodes of the show recently, hinting that season 3 or a season 3-5 combo is being dubbed, according to our source!

It's all just speculation, but this is the most news we've gotten out of the official Japanese pony production in awhile. Maybe we'll have more Japan Times to look forward to in the near future!

Thanks to Shimmer for sending it in.

Nightly Discussion #496

While the gang did switch their destines for awhile in Magical Mystery Cure, I wonder how things would go if they switched jobs with each other willingly? Discord would be pretty happy from all the chaos that would ensue I bet!

Evening guys, the weekend is here! Hope you all have some great stuff planned.

After the break, let's talk about Princess Celestia and the seven episode ideas that I have for her!

Spotlight Music: Hoping / Yarrdwork

I'm still amazed that earth ponies aren't poisoning themselves with all that mouth holding of garden equipment. Maybe Equestria has less agressive pesticides?
