Well, this was a nice surprise.



It's so cool that this stuff is getting legitimately released over here.  Even three years ago we wouldn't have seen anything like it.

Pedro_Bear

I guess we have to be 12 years old or above to watch cartoons with comedy lesbian side-characters, always good to know. That is amazingly quick for a UK release, though. Whoa, we might have to sidestep into liking Bollywood at this rate, to maintain our hipster credentials.






Typing of which... Am I going to post this? I guess I am.

I know MLP is a step too far even for these threads, but the other week... I stuck my head around the door of a Brony conventionWait! I can explain. As I think some of us know, I'm kind of... more than a little responsible for unleashing the disease way back 2010, at the time as a portable depression cure during a particulalry bad winter on /adv/. The original /b/ronies macro'd up a bunch of screengrabs to basically make people laugh and not commit suicide at their keyboards.

We were having an epidemic of seriously disturbed, seriously seasonally affected posters, and I'd just dropped three in a row, which is unheard of, because I just don't drop people that easily (you might have noticed...) Added to this my own madnesses were coming back with a vengeance, and I was headed towards some sort of collapse (happy days... are here again, but never mind that now). And then someone pointed me and Flannie towards /co/ and the amazing possibilities of the MLP:FiM reboot as an instant intervention. I'm going to drop Flannie right in it and blame her for the very first /b/-related macros, essentially to spam my early morning inbox with. All we had to do then was force that stuff through the real /b/. We knew we'd struck the exact correct comedy chord because it took off immediately, and everypony who got the joke also got the unwritten curative evangelism underpinning those early threads. The towering tsunami of internet depression finally receeded in the face of a force even more powerful and unstoppable, The Power Of Ponies.

And it kept going. And it kept going. And it kept going. February, March, wow, July, August, uh oh, okay, joke's getting old now, holy shit /mlp/ omgomgomg, March, April a full year later, and so on, and onto the Brony (note the dropped //) phenomenum on sarcastic news filler slots, all along the way warping and mutating as only internet ideas can.

I'd lost interest in it, beyond getting a completely unwarranted glow of pride when watching the latest awesome youtube ponymusic, and although I enjoy the show (and I really do recommend it, and rate it very highly as tv comedy goes), I was never a "real" /b/rony - it was a means to an end for me at the time - much less a Brony, which is just hilariously awful and tragic; it turns out there are limits to irony, who knew? But, no, I am endlessly in awe of the creativity online that the epidemic continues to inspire, and it still acts as an instant anti-depressant for people who need it, and so, mission accomplished, and the more tragic elements are hilarious in and of themselves as only stuff that escapes the web can be (see also: Anonymous).


And so! I was in a building. The Brony thing was in the same building. I thought "I will go and have a look" as it's not often that I get to see the results of my meddling irl (enraged middle managers aside).

Yeah. Yep. Uh-huh. I pulled my best "So, what's going on in thi












It fucking looked like this:



I've... I'm... the... this... no... no... WHY?! WHYYYYYYYYYY?!

Godoka wept. I reeled out of there feeling like George Harrison visiting Haight-Ashbury. I just... and the... WHYYYYYYYYYY?!

Okay, so I get easily wound up by crass commercialisation of good ideas stolen from the internet, but even so... That's Not Friendship, Dammit!


I don't know why I'm even telling this story, now. There was a point to it, probably lesbian-related, but it's gone. Just imagine I'd been really clever and linked a load of stuff together here, it amounts to the same effect.

God's own tv show Hyouka is stepping up to the final story arc. Expect a character-limit-maxout report imminently.

Actually, the chances of getting new CaB radio listeners from this thread is zero.

You three and that one lurker! Click her!

epic trolling

from Mr Go/Heartseed in ep 5 shook things up a bit and has revealed a different angle on his machinations, bit of an alignment shift/clarification there which is interesting.

Heh, it would be funny to see them run by in the background, tripping over each other sometime.

Or Geetar suddenly goes missing and there's a just a cryptic note left in the case and a cake missing it's strawberry in the fridge.

Pedro_Bear









If they cameo, even in the background, KyoAni have just found a way to raise infinity to the power of infinity in terms of fanservice. It's so obvious, yet it took me completely by surprise.


Oh, and Goro - we all know Goro, right? The I Fucked You're Waifu Guy over at TMA? - Goro, my dear, if there is penetrative sex with Akari in this latest abomination of yours, I am not going to be held responsible for hunting you down and slaying you, okay? You will bring it down on yourself.





I'm warning you, Goldilocks.


Big Jack McBastard

I lol'd at the price-tag placement all the same, at least there's consistently funny shop keepers armed with label guns in Japan.
