thought I'd just throw this up since every website is treating like an episode so discuss! (spoilers go to monday extending because of holiday)
Spoiler:
out right I give this a 4/10 even for a fan episode it was bad. it felt like a horrible crossover fic. The animation I would gave a B+ it was sorta inconsistent in some areas it was just plain lazy while in others you could tell they put special time on it. I personaly felt this should have just been made a short and ended after the 15 minute mark because honestly everything after that didnt have anything to do with the original story of the "double rainboom" just a weird crossover between the powerpuff girls and MLP moving onto the voice actors I don't blame them for not sounding like the characters from the show however, I felt the whole thing suffered from their Rainbow Dash VA when rainbow dash talks you can hear her passion in her voice for things she likes or the complete boredom from things she doesn't find interesting. in this fan made episode the excitement really sound forced. there was way too many references in it a few are nice little nods towards things gone to make us remember something but having them all over the place made it horrible like he was trying to make us ignore the horrible story he made and focus on the nostalgia of the past. lets not forget the loop holes in the story like when Twilight told us she didn't know what the potion does then goes on to tell us how it would effect everyone of her friends... or how she just made another one so pinkie could test it? moving on to the horrible cop out ending of Pinkie brakes the 4th wall between the hub and cartoon network. remember he made this for a grade in a class so anyone who isn't a brony and doesn't know the memes that pinkie can brake the 4th wall wouldn't understand how a party pony can now break the 4th wall meaning his ending only makes sense to a brony and even then its still a shit ending. wow this really went into a rant... anywho there is so many other things wrong with this but theres too much... like the troll face.......

It was way too fanservice-y, the basic plot of the episode (a talent-enhancing potion) could have been an interesting idea in and of itself, this just felt like a bad crossover fanfiction. Twilight was acting differently than I would expect, in terms of actions at least, and I can agree that Rainbow Dash definitely felt forced.
Animation: Good VA: Acceptable Writing: Oh god, what the fuck is going on here.
It definitely needed more than one writer, and not a writer/director combination.
Rating: would not watch again

Writer/Directors are amazing, though! Look at the prequel Star Wars trilogy George Lucas was Writer/Director for those and they turned out amaz...
I'm sorry. I couldn't finish that sentence in good conscious. :p

Spoiler:
I lost it at Powerpuff girls. Antoinette's gone
Seeing as the only reason I watch ponies is for silly funnies and don't care about plot/story I loved it.
