Howdy everypony! The YouTube link is up for the final episode of season one for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! Here's the link:

I loved it! And it was wonderful to have another musical number - Studio B really knows how to do them justice! It felt... right... to end the season with the Galloping Gala, especially since the first episode (excluding the pilot) was all about the Gala in the first place. I had a wonderful time reliving the first time I ever saw that episode (#3 "The Ticket Master") and comparing it to my experiences this morning watching the final one.
A lot has changed in my life over these past few months. I've seen a show that was previously rendered "dead" and "untouchable" in the animation world come back with renewed force and life - a show that was meant for a young female audience capture the hearts and devotion of fans of all ages and genders - the majority, surprisingly, being young adults! I've also come to value the resourcefulness of Flash and Digital Cel animation - truly coming to terms with how amazing it can be if used properly. I've opened up a DeviantArt account and have taken my first baby steps into the wide world of art! I've finally begun to work on projects for myself - and stopped focusing only on College work. I've chosen my specialized field of study (2D puppet/digital cel animation in Flash/Aftereffects) which has helped me to finally focus my talents more properly.
...and all thanks to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic!
I know a lot of my friends have wondered and gawked at my strange excitement and utter fanatical devotion to the show and have asked me why I love it so much. I've given them the usual responses: it has wonderful animation, dynamic characters, intelligent stories and complex plot development - all the factors that should make any show rise above it's peers.
But in reality - the real reason behind my love for the show is that it has changed my life. Without it, I'd still be lost in the mundane projects assigned to me every week here at the Savannah College of Art & Design. Without it, I'd still be spending my free time playing the occasional game or sleeping in or watching a movie. For the first time in my life, I feel like I have purpose! And I throw out a warning and an announcement to the Animation World that Zachary Rich has awoken - and he's heading for the top!
*embarrassed cough* Well, enough of that! What did you all think of the episode?

as for the episode, i was kinda hoping for a two parter, the end felt too rushed and unresolved and the song was 'meh' compared to others like Winter Wrap Up or Hush Now.
Still, even a 'sub-par' episode is amazing when its My Little Pony.
