So Season 6 has finally… actually should I even say finally? It feels like it was just yesterday that Season 5 started given how short this hiatus was. Are we sure they didn’t just extend Season 5 another 26 episodes here? xD
I’m kidding of course, but still wow did this day arrive a lot sooner then we probably ever thought it would. Guess that’s what happens when the last two hiatuses we had were both at least over 250 days long. But regardless, Season 6 has arrived so now it’s time to get into the season opener. Which has been and probably always be a two-parter. As always with specials like this my thoughts will be notes being placed as I rewatch the episode.
Hehe thanks, I got all those asks including yours pretty fast. So I felt like I had to address it somehow.
I probably should have clarified at least with Twi saying the three main states of matter most common on Earth/Whatever the name of the world Equestria is on is called. But then again I wouldn’t of made the fun response I did if I had ^^’

Ah, finally. We’re here to the final part. The Top 5. You’ll get to see the episode I personally rank as the absolute best of the show. Funnily enough, it just so happened that in the Top 5. Each season got at least one episode in the Top 5. And I never planned it that way from the start. That’s just how it ended up. But I like it that way because it still feels each season get’s it’s due. Now if you’ve been crossing out the episodes through the process of elimination. Or at least keeping in mind which episodes have not shown up yet, you’ll know what episodes are in the Top 5. The question is just what order will I put them in?
(A bit of a warning that what I say for the episodes ranked #1 and #2 are particularly long. For the most part I think I’ve kept things fairly short for most of the episodes in this list. But when it finally came to getting to the Top 2 I have to kinda explain myself why they’re where they are. Especially since one of those two is one of the most divisive episodes in the show’s history)

At last here we are at the Top 10, some of you may wish I had just done the Top 10 from the start. But I really wanted to go all out as well as recognize the many episodes that while weren’t good enough to get here, were still awesome. There is after all a lot more then 10 awesome episodes in this show, otherwise it wouldn’t be so big if only a few here and there were great. But as true with any Top 10, these are the episodes I consider the true cream of the crop one way or another.

Love is in the air in as we reach the Top 15. We have two different weddings, my favorite of the Dreamwalker Luna trilogy, and the best episodes of the two tomboyish characters according to the list. These episodes may not be in the Top 10. But they’re no slouches in any department from my point of view.

We’re now at the Top 20! The end is so close you can almost smell it. Still, There’s this part and another three to go before this list finally is wrapped up. These will surely be full of episodes that I consider some of the best we’ve ever seen in the show

This is the part that at least by the end, we start to get to the real classics. Or at least the ones I think stand out as some of the best the show has to offer. I am not saying that a majority of the episodes until now have been bad. On the contrary there’s a lot of episodes I’ve already covered that I definitely really like. Or at the very least something I enjoy from the episode. Even in the Bottom 12, for the exception of Rainbow Falls, there’s something I do like even from what’s listed in the worst episodes. It’s just here where things start to get to the episodes that have raised the bar for this show. Before we get to the episodes though, we have the most recent Equestria Girls Movie which is #35 sharp. But from there it will be pretty great Pony episodes from then on.

We’ve reached the Top 50 now! This is more traditionally the halfway point but we technically counted down 112 instead of 100. But we’re at the point where at least in my opinion a lot of these episodes are really good. Some of the next few episodes particularly in this set may still be a little bit on the fence. But otherwise considering there’s episodes in the 70’s part of the list that I do really, really like in parts it should say good things about the episodes placed from here on out.

By the end of this part we will have reached the halfway point of this list! The first 56 episodes will have been covered with another 56 to go. We’re finally rising up the ranks where we’ll be getting close to the really good stuff
(BTW I am aware that Season 6 is starting sooner then we thought. When we get to the week of the 21st of March. There will be two parts going up on the Monday (#30-#26, #25-#21), Tuesday (#20-#16, #15-11), and Thursday (#10-#6, #5-#1). So that the countdown ends only a few days before Season 6 begins)
