KO a Character: MLP Friendship is Magic Episodes (Seasons 1-9)

Wow that one wasn't too extremely away for me but I know someone else might not agree with it

Beginning of the End is still a pretty good two-parter with some mostly very good character writing and some decent twists and turns though it still feels like it could add even more new and I wish it differentiated the context of Twilight being stressed from earlier seasons she learned lessons in a bit more

SC was also preferred T10 although at #10

Taking a quick break from S9 lol. First 8, Surf and/or Turf is pleasant with a good moral and resolution, I like Terramar, and the character writing and animation is good, but occasionally it feels a bit bland, being slowly paced, the song being catchy and not bad but having too much exposition, and the CMC don't want to friends ever anymore at one point but it's quickly resolved.

Taking break to see my mother

I was going to say I was surprised you were letting it stay this long since you eliminated it I think around the 6s in the Seasons 8/9 game, but bit my tongue especially as while it's an 8 for me I would have sucked up it making it over any other 8 as there aren't a lot of 9+s for me

This episode has been stalling out long enough

Okay, as of cutting this, now everything left is an 8/10 or higher for me, so I officially consider everything left in this thread to be very good! Some episodes left are still much better than others!

Yeah no two-parter is a top priority for me either here

The 8/10s get better with a 4-ep ranking gap after this cut so I'll probably save doing part of the grunt work to cut a previous winner for a move or two after this

I know this may be a slightly disagreed on cut since you didn't care about eliminating it before it made it to #6/52 for the last thread it was in. However, Growing Up is Hard To Do is still a very good episode with it being fun and funny to see the CMC as adults, great animation even for the show, fun animal worldbuilding, and a good moral execution. All I can say is that occasionally the CMC's writing feels a bit uneven such as that they were fine at understanding how a train works in Sweetie Belle Toils but are suddenly bad at it here.

im finishing what i started but i'm going to have to snipe a big threat from s7 in my next post because there's like one episode left id rank above it anyway and i think it's more likely to get taken out
