“Sound of Silence” season 8 episode 23
« on: September 01, 2018, 09:13:25 AM »
So this episode just appeared on YouTube.  Linked below for those who want to go ahead and watch it.

This is the one that introduces the Kirin.  I really enjoyed it and the new character.  And the lesson was solid.

I've been really loosing interest in season 8 thanks to all the leaks, but I watched this one because yay! New species!
I love the song in this one! It's catchy and I love when they tell stories in their songs. The lesson presented in both the song and the episode are pretty valuable. Autumn Blaze is adorable and I love the Kirin's mannerisms, I just wish the character models weren't just ponies with scales.
This will probably be my favorite episode of the season, I can't recall any others.

I actually like that it’s a pony base.  I kind of wish the hippogriffs where a little more pony based.  I like the shorter stockier legs as apposed to the super long legs.

I do agree that this hasn’t been a stellar season.  And it was so refreshing to have a good song.  Seems like songs have been thin on the ground for the last couple of seasons.

They even took Ingram off of the EqG shorts/specials so he could focus on the main series, and he's got very little to show for it. :/

I loved this episode! I wish it was sooo much longer though haha! The Kirin design is so lovely! I wish we could get brushables of them and their leader! The leaders design and colors are just so beautiful!
Thanks to calico star for my avatar!

I doubt this is true. Might just be another cost cutting measure. EqG has been scaled down a lot, might as well not pay for music and lyrics.

This one’s good as a one off.  You don’t need to have watched any previous episodes except to know that ponies sometimes get called to the map to go on friendship quests.  And the pairing up this time was Fluttershy and Applejack.  Not a RD or PP in sight which was refreshing to me.

That is funny. I have never actually watched the show, and I just happened to find that episode it on Youtube.  So I said, what the heck, I'll watch it. It was cute. Now I am disappointed to hear that that one is the best one of the season.

I'd really love to have some Kirin brushables. I'm not sure how Hasbro could make this happen, but they need to make it happen regardless :P

I absolutely love the kirins and I'd love to see brushable toys of them.  They're so cute!!  (Or if not brushables, at least blind bags.  Just gimme gimme, ha ha.)

I enjoyed the song, and the rainbow doing a full arc across that valley reminded me of the traditional G1 rainbow logo.

     I liked this one. And I love the Kirin! I love it when we get new species, and the Kirin are actually pretty cool for just lizard-ponies. Give me a blind bag or a brushable or something, please hasbro! The episode was pretty well done, and the song is just that rainbow frosting on the cake. Not my favourite episode, but one of my top favourites.
     Anybody else chuckle when the other Kirin is trying to ask for the cure from autumn blaze, and she gets mad. “Can you excuse me for a sec?” And then this cough of fire from behind a rock. Dunno why, but that was kinda funny.
This. Sentence. Is. False! Dontthinkaboutitdontthinkaboutit.

It seems a bit rushed... I like how they could cram so much into 25mins, but this would have done well as a 2-parter. It was nice to have a one-off for once that didn't seem TOO far-reaching.


@Mewtwofan1 - That was my favorite part! haha
