(Song Used: Blow Me Away - Breaking Benjamin)
We’re one quarter into the 100 now (And 1/3rd into the entire series. 21 Parts, this is the 7th one). In this grouping is our first appearance from a two-parter and mostly Season 1 Episodes
(Song Used: Unkind - Hurt)
This is the point where Season 6 would have to be near perfect in every way for any of these episodes to be under threat of going under 100. But every season has their ups and downs and it’s pretty much assured there will be a few duds here and there. Now it would be cool if Season 6 was utterly perfect in every way as that’d mean we have awesome stuff every new episode then. But each season except for Season 3 was 26 episodes, that’s a lot of work on the writing staff and for every really good idea they manage to pull off they can sometimes rush and/or become a bit lackadaisical about some others. But anyway, this is also the point in the Countdown where the episodes are starting to get to that point where there’s a lot of episodes around the same level. I’d say from this point until #55-#51 is the part where you could probably switch it all around in any order and I’d be fine. Every episode of FiM even the best ones have some flaws and/or things you could nitpick to death. So while I can try to say which ones are better or worse there is a point where it’s hard because some episodes are at about the same quality that is really up the “Which would you rather watch” preference. And even that’s not clear because there may be an episode from this part that I may want to sometimes watch again even over episodes that are ranked in the 50’s cause of something in particular.
Hey today I saw the preview for next month’s issue of the MLP Comic. I’ve actually not been too into the comics. Not that I’m not interested in them, just that they’re not readily available nearby. And I don’t want to bother with any kind of subscriptions.
However, for the next issue. I may just have to buy it cause already from the cover, premise, and the three page preview it has a few things that if you’ve known me long enough. You know I absolutely adore
1. Filly Twilight
2. Twilight’s Parents possibly playing a decent role (Some people may worry we may not get Twi’s parents elaborated on in the show. But I don’t think this rules out a “Twi’s Parents come to visit” type of episode. With Cadence and Shining Armor’s baby. Maybe they even come by to see their Granddaughter for the first time, If we can get a look into Pinkie’s family, I soooo hope we can get that at the very least)
3. Baby Spike being taken care of by Twilight (While we’re pretty sure at this point the Comic’s aren’t entirely based on Canon. As they seem to be as a loose canon, things that happen in the show are canon to it like Twilight’s ascension, but not necessarily the other way around. Still though, it’s always been a guess on whether or not Filly Twi actually did get to take care of Baby Spike or if they just handed him off to Celestia until Twilight was finally ready to keep him as an assistant. So to have an official source of any kind, even if there is a chance the show contradicts it at one point is awesome news. And it fits well with some of the headcanon stuff I put into Genie Twilight as blog-canon. Especially with Twilight’s Mother’s story in the Mother’s Day special from 2 years ago)
4. And while this is more minor in comparison, it also happens to pander a bit to the TwiDash shipper in me considering Rainbow is the only character hearing Twilight’s story.
It’s almost as if this comic was practically pandered to me with how much is potentially there. I already feel like this is a must-buy personally :D

A little further now, though these episodes are still very in trouble of being out of the 100 when Season 6 is over. Cause it only takes nearly half of the Season to knock these episodes out. And every season has had it’s fair share of good episodes that’s it’s likely that most of these will also fall out.

I’ve decided to try and do a 500 follower milestone pic. I don’t know when I’ll finish it or how many characters I’ll actually get around to drawing, but reblog with a ref if you’re happy for me to include your OC.
Also, please let me know if you don’t want your OC drawn — if I don’t get enough feedback I might go looking for OCs from my follower’s blogs.
Apologies in advance if you reblog this and I don’t get around to drawing your character.

Not exactly an OC, but an alternate canon character. But if you still accept those, get ready to draw another genie ^^ I’ll give you a choice of which to use.
And in case you’re actually humanizing the characters in the picture (Since I can’t tell for sure but since you are an EQG focused blog it’s a possibility)

Forgot to put this in the last one but in case you didn’t know the song for the Bottom 12 one, it’s Untitled by Simple Plan)
Now we’ve reached the beginning of the Top 100 after getting the 12 who were unfortunate enough to not even make this list. Though with Season 6 not too far from coming. The episodes from #100-#90 will really have to hope Season 6 completely fails in order for these episodes to stay within the Top 100. Because all it takes is a few good episodes in the next season to knock these episodes out of the 100 as well. These are the episodes that weren’t bad enough to not make the list in a 112 episode list but also weren’t good enough to get very far beyond that. That 112 Episode list will become 137 (An additional 24 [Assuming the opener and finale are Two-parters again] episodes + Equestria Girls 4) by the end of this year that’s nearly 1 ½ of full seasons that can’t even reach #100. So Spot #100 is only going to get harder for some episodes to squeak by and get. When we get to #75 and above, for the most part those episodes can rest easy as Season 6 would have to be an absolute perfect Season for those to even come close to being put down to anywhere near #100. But the episodes in this set of 5 as well as the next are near guarantees to fall out unless once again Season 6 proves to be a horrible season. Which I see no signs of which yet (No, Flurry Heart being an Alicorn is not one of them. Nice try :P) Without further adieu, let’s begin the Top 100!
Hello everyone! This is the beginning of a project that I’ve wanted to do a long time now. I just had to wait for the exact moment I wanted to start planning that. What is that moment? That is when the show reached over 100 episodes. Welcome to my personal Top 100 FiM list. This show has been and still is my favorite currently running show. And I am so glad it made it over 100 that I thought the best way to celebrate them is to reflect on every single one. And I’d like to share where I think each episode stand with one another. Show what episodes I feel are among the greats as well as those that I feel kinda fall off the wayside at times.
Each part for the exception of the first one (Which I will explain soon) will cover 5 episodes. Counting down from 100-96, 95-91, etc. all the way down to 10-6, and 5-1. I have even gone the extra mile to go a little fancy with short intro videos that contain a piece of music I like that goes along with Screenshots of at least one of the episodes contained in the part (Note: In these videos they don’t necessarily had to have screenshots for each of the 5 episodes. They could have only screenshots from one particular screenshots, just a few, or they could have something from all 5 after all). There will be 21 Parts in all. Most weeks will have 3 put up but for the first week I’m putting up just this one. And maybe I may have to do two instead sometimes.
By the way, I did not rewatch the series for this. And I understand that may make it sound like I have preconceived notions at times. But I assure you I have watched every episode at least twice and can give enough of a familiarity that I can remember what I liked and/or didn’t like in each episode. Rewatching the series would take a while (We’re at the point where if you marathoned the entire series nonstop including the trilogy of Equestria Girls movies it would take nearly 2 days to watch it all). And I might actually be ponied out if I tried marathoning even if I paced it around at a few episodes a day. With a combination of this and with so many episodes to cover you can say there’s a bit of a margin of error. And also some placements may not be permanent cause if Season 6 follows up on any previous episodes it is possible for Season 6 to improve a previous episode placement cause I do like to factor a bit of impact into the ranks. For the most part important episodes that introduce things for the future have an advantage over episodes that never got followed up on anything.
As a side note, Two-Parters are going to count as One episode. I feel it would be complicated to have the Part 1’s and Part 2’s separate. Another thing is the Equestria Girls films are eligible to be on the list as well. This brings the total amount of episodes/movies to 112. Now I’m sure your first question is what to do with the 12 that don’t make the Top 100. Do I simply just not mention them at all? Nope, the Bottom and/or Unranked 12 is actually what I’m covering first. So we can get the weakest out of the way before gradually getting stronger and stronger (In my opinion at least, I don’t expect nor do I think everyone will agree with me. I will try my best to be at least a little objective. But all-in-all this is still a personal list, you may still see a lot of Bias from my side. If you disagree with me on anything at all, I’m willing to talk it out but I’d like it if you do not flame me for putting a favorite episode of yours too low or a least favorite too high. Respect my opinions, and I’ll respect yours.). So how about we get started shall we? Bad news first, then nothing to go but up from there.
*I hope the video editor watermark isn’t too annoying as it will be on every video in this project. The point is just the audio and the images that pop up. Also this is not on Youtube because I don’t trust the site’s copyright system enough for this to stay there for very long, especially recently
As much as Friendship is Magic is a a great show. It’s far from perfect, there are quite a bit of times they mess-up on, whether it’s characterization, writing, and/or bad ideas to begin with. The episode has had it’s fair share of controversy as many episodes have a love it or hate it tag to them where it’s hard to find middle ground. It’s quite possible one of my Bottom 12 could be in someone else’s Top 10. Or one or even multiple episodes of my Top 10 would be in someone else’s Bottom 12 if they were ranking the episodes.
I do want to put a bit of a disclaimer. I’m one of the most positive Bronies you’ll ever meet. Most of the Bottom 12 I don’t even dislike personally besides maybe 1 or 2 of them. There’s usually one thing to like about every episode. And some of these Bottom 12 would be average or even good episodes in other shows. As Friendship is Magic sets a pretty high bar. These 12 are just those I don’t feel quite qualify for a spot in the Top 100. If you love any of the 12 mentioned to pieces, I do apologize in advance. But I promise you, even the worst episode of FiM would not be anywhere near one of the worst animation episodes in all of history. But speaking of which we’re starting at the very bottom of my barrel. The only episode I have a hard time thinking of a legit thing to like about it.
