Pony 411

Time for episode 177! There's a bit in the news this week. A bit. Like... us?! Oh, and other, probably more important news like toys and Canada's rapid airing schedule. Plus a few other things. Alca7raz and Nemesis then talk about "Rock Solid Friendship!" It Maud's return. And an appearance from another not-so-welcome character. Oh. Well then. There's also a few songs, a fanfic, and an animation within Fan Content. Tune in! Maybe while flying kites. Show Notes: http://pony411.libsyn.com/shownotes

Welcome to episode 176! We have a bit of news this week, and most of it is merchandise related. Including car decals and Equestria Girls Minis! Also, other news like an airdate for the first Equestria Girls special... in Poland. Oh. Nemesis and Alca7raz also review Friends Forever #38, the final issue in the series! And it's about Celestia and Luna. They also watched "A Flurry of Emotions!" And while they enjoyed it, they did find a few flaws with it. Fan Content wraps up the show with music and a fanfic! Tune in! Show Notes: http://pony411.libsyn.com/shownotes

SEASON 7 HAS ARRIVED! And of course, episode 175 along with it! We do have a small bit of news this week, including ponies on Wall Street, the Fresh Princess (what?), and a promo for next week's episode. And more beyond that! Alca7raz and Nemesis start off the discussion with a quick look at the first issue of Legends of Magic! It has some interesting lore implications. But then it's time for two new episodes of Friendship is Magic. First off is "Celestial Advice," which is a bit... weird. Then it's "All Bottled Up" which is also... weird. Well, they'll try to explain their feelings about both of them. Let's just say both episodes bring up some confusing things. But moving on, they also have a brief fanfic update! Tune in, another lap of the ride has begun. Show Notes: http://pony411.libsyn.com/shownotes

It's episode 174! The final episode of the hiatus! Some big news popped up in the last few weeks. Some of the biggest includes more titles and synopses for season 7 and a teaser trailer for the MLP movie! But there's still other news that you should probably pay attention. Just saying. Anyway, Nemesis and Alca7raz decide to talk about fanfiction! In a general sense. Like the kinds they like, pet peeves when reading it, and other things. They also have a few specific examples, sometimes drawing from previously featured fanfics (which you should check out, hint hint). And then they wrap up with more fan works, including 3 songs and yes, a new fanfic! Tune in, and get ready for season 7! Show Notes: http://pony411.libsyn.com/shownotes

Alca7raz and Nemesis have reviews for two comics this week: the Deviations issue and Friendship is Magic #52. One is good, one is... not so good. They also talk about the season 1 episode, "Look Before You Sleep!" You know, the Rarijack episode. And to end the show, they have a brief fanfic update and some fan animations. Tune in, and beware the headless horse! Show Notes: http://pony411.libsyn.com/shownotes

Episode 172 is here! And it brings news! News like convention guests, new books, a possible start date for season 7, and more. Oh, and a small helping of salt. You'll understand when you get there. Nemesis and Alca7raz then review the 2017 Annual for the MLP comics, Guardians of Harmony! It's six short stories, and there are... problems. Including one that got a lot of attention within the fandom. After that, they go back to the season 1 episode, "Applebuck Season!" This is the episode that initially hooked Nemesis, so it's special to him. Finally, they have some fan content to wrap it all up. Tune in! Show Notes: http://pony411.libsyn.com/shownotes

Episode 171 has arrived! There's a lot of news to cover this week. A lot of con announcements, when the Equestria Girls specials will release, season 7 episode titles, and more!

And a certain captain lending his voice to the show. Nemesis and Alca7raz also have two comics to review. Friends Forever #36 and Friendship is Magic #50. The latter is a milestone that, well, doesn't impress. After that, they talk all about Sunset Shimmer! Who she is, how the fandom reacted to her, and how she compares to a certain princess.
