It seems like the pony show I've always loved and the animation has greatly improved, but just something is making me feel less and less excited for each episode as the days go by, yet i don't see anything bad in the new episodes. I don't know if I'm getting bored of it or if there's something different that I don't notice. I've been feeling rather 'meh' about it.

It's like what one of the crystal ponies said: "It looks the same, but it doesn't feel the same."

I see no problem with it other than being shorter than previous seasons.
Looking forward for episode with Discord!
And I dont see why a lot people so reacting about possibility that Twi will become an alicorn. If she will become a new princes than it will explain the origins of Tia and Luna. And than it will be nice to see her taking flying lessons from Dash, that is defiantly will fun to much.

My the only issue is that before I read some where that Dash supposed to have a boyfriend this season, so the question about her sexuality would of been closed. But I guess now that never going to happen (probably all that orientation conspiracy is one of the Husbro income)))

I enjoy it, but it's just so short that they can't do very much with it like it seemed they would do.

The problem is, there are SO many characters to develop. We have ten main characters, basically - Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Spike, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. Because the characters vary so much in their personalities, goals, and interests, there's a lot that can be done with them and a lot of lessons that they could learn. But with only 13 episodes, there's not much room for that. My favorite pony looks like she won't even HAVE an episode this season, unless E12 turns out to be Rarity-centric as it's in the Crystal Kingdom. :\

I loved the first few episodes and then..idk the quality kinda went down somewhere in between "Wonderbolt Academy" and "Family Reunion". For me at least. Spike at your service was rather awful..

I feel it's been pretty great so far, honestly! Perhaps the fact that I generally try to go into episodes with little to no expectations and just enjoy them for what they are has managed to make a positive difference for me, I really can't say.

Honestly, I'm really enjoying it so far
I'm not one of those "MLPFiM can do no wrong"-people but I like the world that they're developing and the mythologies they're coming out with.

Sure, as a unicorn scholar it irked me when they canonised the [wrong] fan usage of the word "alicorn", but that's not a big deal to me

I like how there are these character spotlight episodes this season, I liked the cel-shading on the timberwolves, I liked Spitfire, I loved the Scootaloo and RBD thing, and...and!...

...Well, I just really like it so far (^ ^)

But I do have to admit that there aren't as many "moments" like in season one.
Things like "Rarity-quest", 20% cooler, and the big Fluttershy .
There aren't as many memorable (net-exploitable ) things like that but so what?
It's still a fun show with good stories, interesting (?) characters, good stories, catchy songs (Babs Seed, Babs Seed ) and cool villains - yes, I do like Sombra!

Hell, I even sort of like Trixie a little because of season 3 XD

That's all I guess
