I dunno about anyone else, but I found this episode quite enjoyable. Return (sort of) of bat ponies. Pretty neat song in that is was less melodic and more discordant than we're used to. Rarity and her hazmat suit. Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie (I vant to suck your juice!). I also wonder about the implications of Fluttershy still having fangs at the end. Also: "Fruit bat roundup, fruit bat roundup!" EDIT: Here's the episode. [youtube]Rp4A9rpipYo[/youtube]
Well, I thoroughly enjoyed that episode and I’m so glad they made Bat ponies canon. It started off a bit slow and I’m not quite sure what to think of the song but apart from that, Brilliant. Rarity’s hazmat suit was hilarious and Flutterbat will surely spew a tonne of fan art. Those fangs at the end might have some part to play future episodes, though they did the same at the end of Castle Mane-ia with the Shadow Pony and that still hasn’t developed.
I forgot about them. I just assumed they were dressed up for Nightmare Night, but after this episode, It proves Bat Ponies exist.
Strange episode, but enjoyable. Here are my pros and cons. Pros~ -FLUTTERBAT. Cons~ -The song was pretty meh. --------- And that's all I really have to say~
I loved every moment in this episode from the song to Fluttershy turning into Flutterbat to Pinkie Pie being her usually random self and especially Rarity's hazmat suit this episode was amazing.
AJ saving the farm, Rarity with an outfit for all seasons...and hazards, Twilight and her backfiring magic, Rainbow the drunkard, Pinkie the ... Pinkie, and Flutteryshy getting the raw end of the deal...again. Overall I enjoyed the episode, new pony is always a good thing. Has been a darker feeling season, it's been pretty interesting. During the song especially, I got a very Tim Burtony vibe, but what surprised me the most was the attitude towards Fluttershy by the mane six. Apple Acres has been in danger before, and the gang has pushed Flutteryshy into action before, but they just seemed overly aggressive. AJ has never been one to back down from a fight sure, especially when the result would endanger what she cares for, but she never came across as downright hostile to me before. For a while I found myself disliking members of the six for the first time. It was suppose to be about peer pressure sure, but still, it felt a little uncharacteristic. Maybe it would have worked better for me if it was other ponies trying to pressure Flutteryshy, or maybe, with how quickly these episodes go by the first time, I'm just overreacting. Meh, either way, still enjoyed it ... but seriously Rainbow, the first step is admitting you have a problem.
The part where AJ knocked down a tree that was really far behind her just by hitting it as if it were right there. Am I the only one who noticed Pinkie-like behavior during that?
[MENTION=2193]Yamiookami[/MENTION] Fixed! As for the episode, I liked it. The song started eh... but got better and was kinda reminded me of a Nightmare Before Christmas type song. AJ entrenches herself as worst pony. RD is confirmed as town drunk. The vampire fruit bats were U-G-L-Y, they ain't got no alibi, they ugly! Flutterbat was awesome!
I wasn't expecting to like this episode but I'll be damned it was pretty good! I found it much better than the previous 2 episodes and am glad to say I believe in S4 again! The song was too legit to quite way way better than episode 5's song which to be honest I thought was pretty bad. I thought this episode rocked! 9/10 - - Auto Merge - - Oh also, Pinkie was way better in this episode too!
Ah yes, I forgot how Pinkie held her flashlight with her hair. Did anyone notice Fluttershy's new cutie mark?
Thankies. As for the episode, I just have two things to say. Pony bat-signals Fruitbat Round-up needs to be a song, dammit. Well, there's one more thing. This: Fully agreed.
