MLP:FIM Spice Up Your Life

This is the second episode written by Michael Vogal. His previous episode was this season's A Hearths Warming Tail. He has however been working on the development department since season 2. This episode was storyboarded by Mincheul Park and Ed Baker. This episode also features great design work by Charmaine Verhagen, Matt Herring, Kristen Lobb, Fernanda Ribeiro, Laura Bifano and Krista Huot. Director Jim Miller has stated on his twitter that he did the voice of the male tourist pony.

This is a very good episode. Pinkie and Rarity are at their most likable. The animation and humor is fantastic. The animation of Pinkie eating is extremely funny. There is a great song number (written by Danny Ingram and Michael Vogal). It has a great lesson that has never been done before on this show. As someone who writes reviews this is one I need to remember. Don't take my opinion too seriously, it is does not decide what's good and bad but rather what I thought of something. Overall this is an excellent episode. It is simple, sweet and very entertaining.

Well we have reached the mid-season break. So far this has been the best season since seaon 2 qnd that is a great compliment. The consitinsy of great quality episodes has been fantastic, and it has brought me at least one of my new favorite episodes (Saddle Row and Rec), and plently of other excellent episodes. I am excited to see where it goes after the break. It has been a joy writing this and I'll see everypony after the break.
