Man, I hope kirin show up more in S9. These designs are gorgeous. 3:51 My friggin' train sits in the station for twenty minutes while the conductor strolls to the other end and this sucker IMMEDIATELY reverses. 4:20 "You're doooooooomed!" 22:54 The best song of the season and one of the best of the series, but you're right: if they'd just changed "never" to "finally" it'd be flawless. (EDIT: Oh, and change "left the couch along" to "left the couch behind". EDIT EDIT: I stand corrected in replies, it's "left the couch, alone...") I'll never understand why near-perfect cartoon songs make it onscreen with easily fixed/avoided misfires in the lyrics. Applejack citing "hand" rather than "hoof" in True True Friend; Music Meister's "there is no car that is surpassed" rather than "no car so unsurpassed" in Drives Us Bats. I know the people behind the scenes aren't as devoted as the rabid fan, and it's "just" a cartoon, but come on guys, you're supposed to be professionals. Do another take.
Another example of something that could be easily fixed: My past is not today. "Like a phoenix burning bright in the sky" should really be "across the sky", it needs the extra syllable.
Rachel Bloom was Autumn Blaze? Seems like MLP has some good choices for celebrity guest casting, like Weird Al, Patton Oswalt, Felicia Day and William Shatner.
Part of me can't help but wonder if at least part of the reason that Hasbro dragged their feet so long with unblocking this one is because it features a song sung by a special guest star.
I have been waiting all week to see everyone's reaction to this episode. I absolutely love the design for the Kirin, and Autumn Blaze is just to adorable.
I'll bet that the first Kirin to discover the power of the stream of silence was surprised! But if she was surprised no one could tell, the stream does suppress emotions after all
this episode speaks to me in a way. I for one don't talk much, and this episode showed me that there should be a balance between not talking and talking too much.
This episode is good in that people can find different things to relate to. I suffer with anger management issues; so I'm constantly having to keep from turning into a Nirik with family, friends, or in public. I have gotten in trouble in the past when I've let it get away from me, but I usually remember that adage of going off somewhere to vent and cool off before doing something drastic.
(sarcastic) Oh great, she is gonna sing the problem... (after song, with no sarcasm) Ok, that was above the show's usual musical standards, and made this girl even more likeable.
I love this episode, which I was thankfully able to watch earlier thanks to a certain streaming service having it. My favourite parts are the creepy conductor (He's hilarious! That last part with laughing while pulling the roll down always gets me x'D), Applejack's first meeting of Autumn, the rainbow scene, the song, and Autumn defending Flutters and Apples.
I really enjoyed this episode! It’s thanks to the introduction of the Kirin, Autumn Blaze(who is a great character and my second favorite next to Silverstream) and her song that made me rank this one of the best episodes of S8 overall.
I saw this one early, and I really liked it. Mostly for the Kirin. Although, I kinda thought AJ was portrayed as too impatient. Not out of character, just too aggressive and not understanding.
Yeah, Fluttershy was on point. My main issue is with AJ, who upon meeting a new race who seem mute and there’s zero indication they could talk, she gets angry and keeps trying to trick them into talking. She doesn’t even try asking Yes/No questions, she just throws a fit right in their faces. I’d half expect her to push a paraplegic’s wheelchair down a flight of stairs, suspicious they might really be able to walk.
@@arellajardin2323 Aj was super impatient which us weird because she's suppose to be the most patint one. I think rainbow shoud've gone instead andskip the another pair was called again thing. There was probably one scene that I really couldn't agree was Fluttershy and was the scene where Fluttershy specifically said that its okay to lose your feelings because of an "accident". She doesn't even listen to what aj just said. Then she proceeds to accept it without even apologize to aj that she yelled at her. Even though Aj apologised at least each time she was saying something wrong. She's apologised before but for the sake of the episode to make a point, they made both of them go out in a way that so unlike them. Especially in a episode where the most coolest looking creatures are introduced and the best kirin.
I’m aware it’s a kids show that teaches lessons. And I make allowances for story contrivances a lot of the time. But it doesn’t hurt to point out character inconsistencies, and that doesn’t mean I want them to be perfect. It would have actually worked better with Rainbow Dash, it fits her character better to act that way. I get it, we all get frustrated with the analysts who try and suck the fun out of everything, while holding a kids cartoon to the same standards as great literature. But a degree of consistency in characterization isn’t too much to expect.
@@seraphywang4638 , I'm always up to seeing Rainbow ane Fluttershy. There's just something about those two; they're my favorite friendship of the show. I also love the chemistry between Rainbow ane Pinkie; I cannot picture them both as pegasi in generation 5, their being different is what makes them work. I also love Rainbow and Scootaloo; seeing them compete in the Sisterhooves Social was such a treat. Some of course found it odd that it had a pie eating contest after 'Secrets and Pies'; but I say she did it for Scootaloo which is a testament to how much she loves her. Also I think her competitive nature helped push her along.
My reaction to this episode's idea at first: They have a magical stream that can erase your voice and some of your emotions, turning you into a blank slate with no way to express your individuality!?!?!?!......That's Starlight's job!!!
Well, there's no doubt that if she had been sent, she'd figure out the solution to the problem in a heartbeat seeing as how she's had to learn how to manage her anger quite a few times.
thebeav PercabethFTW Hmm... Well, Villain Starlight mostly just wanted to spread her twisted form of Equality and rid the world of Cutie marks as a result, but the Stream of Silence doesn't really accomplish that, but merely suppresses most emotions and prevents speech...I'm taking this too seriously, aren't I? Although, I have to wonder... If she did know about the Stream, do you think she'd consider taking a dive into it to suppress all that abandonment, loneliness, and anger she had at the time? Would Starlight wish not to care? Would she want to be rid of the pain of loneliness that much to where she would sacrifice her voice, and kill off her ability to feel anything just to escape it? ...Better question: Would she do it now if given the chance?
So the Kirin turn into fiery Nirik when they are angry and arguing. I bet if the Sirens would feed off there negative energy, it would give them great power. And hopefully we'll find out what happened to them in next year's March equestria girls movie.
When I first read the title, I thought of that song too, but the Disturbed cover. Also, when that cover came out, a German radio station had a poll on their website whether they should play the cover or the original, and even Simon and Garfunkel voted for the cover.
Am I the only one weirded out by how easily Fluttershy and AJ start screaming at each other? Gives the feel they're incapable of having a cool headed discussion (and let's remember i's Fluttershy and AJ we're talking about)
This was a very good episode. Definitely loved the moral the episode taught, and I'm happy to say that Autumn Blaze is someone I hope returns, even if she probably won't because she's a guest VA. But the whole Kirin/Nirik situation does raise a strange question: Is Starlight part-Kirin? It would certainly explain how her anger can create a blood-red hurricane of power that spills out of her horn, and it would explain why we don't know who her mother is... Okay, yes, stupid theory, but it's just a question.
Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence
The kirin giving up their voices and emotions to prevent destruction reminded my of the Vulcans, who gave up their emotions for basically the same reason.
People tell me that opposites attract, but what people don’t understand is that a positive and a negative makes a neutral result. Also they don’t understand that that’s only the case if they’re equal in strength.
22:21 I would be the one to jump in the lake stay that way a few days and then drink the cure and the first thing I would do with my voice would be to scream as loud as possible...
and he wore this freaky half-mask thing, and he loved a stage actor, but the stage actor was in love with someone else, so he took her down to a deep cavern thing and rode on an old wooden connoo and i mean who doesn't love that one!
Rachel Bloom, great comedian but she is in no way kid friendly. I was surprised that they managed to get her to do an episode. You should check on your own time. "crazy ex-girlfriend", she is the producer and the principal character of that comedic series. Amazing series.
Hey, are some of the earlier episodes from this season ever going to become available again? I really want to see your reaction to them! Like the Mean 6!
I lowkey ship Appleshy but even tho AJ is my 2nd favorite I do agree she was being really impatient with the friendship quest. Next season, I would really like to see more of her motherly and understanding side
It makes zero licks of sense that they brought us the six pillars who have had precious little screen time and that they're bringing us all these new characters ane creatures if they plan for season 9 to be the last. Generation 5 has to be fake news.
Been waiting for this reaction for sure, nice episode (though I'm probably one of the few that likes episode 24 over this one). Guessing you could only release it now because of some sort of block still in place? Either that, or busy I assume.
Overly bubbly personality...check curly fluffy hair...check a little crazy...check malevolent alternate self...check Anthropomorphizes inanimate objects to stave off insanity with questionable results...check no wonder I like autumn blaze, she's pinkie pie in a different hat
I know that I'm a little late and I'm afraid that will happen for episode 24 as well as the finale too as I want to watch that through the reaction of AppleGeek first. Though I still look forward to your reaction to both. I already heard a few mixed reviews on episode 24 and have seen one spoiler picture for the finale that makes me hate that we still have a week to go as it raises a lot of questions, but I think I am looking forward to your reactions as much as I am looking forward to Applegeek's.
The Kirin's head tilts are adorable.
Head tilts are always adorable. That's why dogs do it when you have food. They know it's adorable.
There was something extremely cat-like about it. And yes, it's adorable
Everything about the kirin is adorable.
...Well, aside from the whole "bursts into living spirit of flame and vengeance" thingy.
*Francis's voice*
Good thing i'm indestructible.
( Congrats If you got that Left 4 Dead Reference).
Ikr it kinda makes me want to scratch them behind their ears or pat them on the head.
Man, I hope kirin show up more in S9. These designs are gorgeous.
3:51 My friggin' train sits in the station for twenty minutes while the conductor strolls to the other end and this sucker IMMEDIATELY reverses.
4:20 "You're doooooooomed!"
22:54 The best song of the season and one of the best of the series, but you're right: if they'd just changed "never" to "finally" it'd be flawless. (EDIT: Oh, and change "left the couch along" to "left the couch behind". EDIT EDIT: I stand corrected in replies, it's "left the couch, alone...")

ScreamingScallop I agree. The designs honestly impressed me, they're completely gorgeous
The couch is not a misfire. You just heard it wrong. It's "I left the couch, alone they're hard to move."
Okay! Now that lyric is brilliant! Thanks!
Another example of something that could be easily fixed: My past is not today. "Like a phoenix burning bright in the sky" should really be "across the sky", it needs the extra syllable.
Autumn Blaze. Best Kirin Waifu.
Best waifu period
Nah, random Kirin #21 was way better.
She's my favorite character of this season so far.
Rachel Bloom was Autumn Blaze? Seems like MLP has some good choices for celebrity guest casting, like Weird Al, Patton Oswalt, Felicia Day and William Shatner.
shes the reason why I made my OC a Kirin
Part of me can't help but wonder if at least part of the reason that Hasbro dragged their feet so long with unblocking this one is because it features a song sung by a special guest star.

I'll bet that the first Kirin to discover the power of the stream of silence was surprised! But if she was surprised no one could tell, the stream does suppress emotions after all
I think she would be surprised if she would felt anything
Maybe the leader put a spell on it to silence whoever entered it?
Dang, you hit the nail on the head there with that prediction! Good job
3:00 that’s my favorite twilight quote. “Butts don’t lie”
Except when Discord messes with the map.
It truly is the best piece of lore that Twilight has revealed
That's one of my least favorites.
In fact it is probably my third least favorite.
Technically, she said "Flanks don't lie"
Now that I got my inner Mudbriar out of the way, that's gonna be one of my favorite Twilight lines too lol
...hips don't lie ... Oh my, another reference for a Pony Anthology ^_^

Autumn Blaze is best kirin
Waifu
Fact: this is the very first tv episode that Gregory Bonsignore wrote.
(sarcastic) Oh great, she is gonna sing the problem...
(after song, with no sarcasm) Ok, that was above the show's usual musical standards, and made this girl even more likeable.
13:07 autumn blaze: “Seriously there’s only so long that sidoku can keep you entertained.”
This line just never stops being funny to me.
I love this episode, which I was thankfully able to watch earlier thanks to a certain streaming service having it. My favourite parts are the creepy conductor (He's hilarious! That last part with laughing while pulling the roll down always gets me x'D), Applejack's first meeting of Autumn, the rainbow scene, the song, and Autumn defending Flutters and Apples.

Yeah, Fluttershy was on point.

It was kind of a joke. I forgave Starlight pretty quickly for the whole thing. Took me about one or two episodes.
Probably not. She seems relatively happy with the life she has now.
Autumn Blaze is a lot like Pinkie Pie. That automatically makes her top 10 favorite character material in my book.
RARA-Jack is the best Applejack ship. I capitalized it to clarify that I'm talking about Coloratura, not Rarity.
So the Kirin turn into fiery Nirik when they are angry and arguing. I bet if the Sirens would feed off there negative energy, it would give them great power. And hopefully we'll find out what happened to them in next year's March equestria girls movie.
I guess the reason why they built railroad there is so they have a distant place to stick that crazy conductor guy.
3:01 DOES THAT FLANK LOOK LIKE THE FLANK THAT LIES?!
This episode made me remember that “Find Your Voice” song from Fairly Oddparents.
When I first read the title, I thought of that song too, but the Disturbed cover.
Also, when that cover came out, a German radio station had a poll on their website whether they should play the cover or the original, and even Simon and Garfunkel voted for the cover.
The old Station Master pony was by far the funniest thing I've seen in awhile. I was laughing for several minutes at his maniacal laughter XD
Autumn Blaze is very much like Pinkie Pie.
I wonder what the Foal's Breath concoction would do to Maud Pie.
Autumn Blaze is not annoying though.
22:55 , The reprise should say "it's a lesson that the Kirin FINALLY learned".
22:41 *LOOK AT FLUTTERSHY HOW CUTE SHE IS* 😍❤💛💛💛💛
***💧My tears are falling off💧***
23:45 Allspark Animation! YAY!!!
Fun fact: Gregory Bonsignore is an award-winning playwright. That might explain the seemingly random Phantom of the Opera insert.
Autumn blaze sounds like the lost narrator
Am I the only one weirded out by how easily Fluttershy and AJ start screaming at each other? Gives the feel they're incapable of having a cool headed discussion (and let's remember i's Fluttershy and AJ we're talking about)
The third argument didn't seem real. The first one AJ seemed impatient. The second one was weird, but you can tell why they did it
"Minor interaction between two females oooh ahh f-f-fuuuuuck y-yesssssss"
-RarityDash
This was a very good episode. Definitely loved the moral the episode taught, and I'm happy to say that Autumn Blaze is someone I hope returns, even if she probably won't because she's a guest VA.

Okay, yes, stupid theory, but it's just a question.
07:12 I don't know why but every time I hear this "if you have any..." I feel like they're starting a song although I know they're not XD
"We are part of the Everything"
So autumn blaze knows alchemy? 🤔
Congratulations Applejack, now you know how Starlight Glimmer felt back in season 6!
Oh yeah, I didn't even think about that! Applejack might now owe Starlight a little apology, now that she knows how it's like lol
Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence
The kirin giving up their voices and emotions to prevent destruction reminded my of the Vulcans, who gave up their emotions for basically the same reason.
Fun Fact: Kirins were likely inspired by Qilins- something like unicorns in Chinese Mitology
The speed in which you caught on to the backwards name thing was staggering.
Easier when you see it written.
People tell me that opposites attract, but what people don’t understand is that a positive and a negative makes a neutral result. Also they don’t understand that that’s only the case if they’re equal in strength.
That part with the conductor was the funniest thing I've ever seen in MLP. Ever. XD
22:21 I would be the one to jump in the lake stay that way a few days and then drink the cure and the first thing I would do with my voice would be to scream as loud as possible...
Can you please react to the new song called the other side? Came out a few hours ago i think youll like it :D
Time to add a new race to the School of Friendship. (Pinkie Pie, Silver Stream, and Autumn Blaze= "Yay!!! New Friends!!!")
Yass Autumn Blaze!!!
and he wore this freaky half-mask thing, and he loved a stage actor, but the stage actor was in love with someone else, so he took her down to a deep cavern thing and rode on an old wooden connoo and i mean who doesn't love that one!
3:00 Shakira is gonna sue!
So they thought that they become evil when they were Niriks, but they were actually in control of their actions the whole time? Oops...
Finally, I've been waiting this for 5 days.
AWESOME, A REACTION TO THE EPISODE WITH THE KIRIN PONIES!
Autumn Blaze’s first scene was just AMAZING!
18:45 “That’s my secret Captain, I’m always angry”
for a continuity joke i would have loved if fluttershy said "are you sure this isnt discord just using a glimmer spell on our cutie marks again?
0:40 Yes, the ULTIMATE Silent Treatment.
After weeks of nonstop stress and anger, THIS EPISODE BROUGHT THE LIGHT BACK INTO MY LIFE!!!😍😍😍😍😍I want my next OC to be a Kirin!
that one Kirin REEEALY needs to meet Treehugger XD
"Flanks don't lie" see: "Twilight's arctic adventure"
The Kirins’ blank expressions make Maud fit right in.
0:38 - 0:49 "¿Porque No Los Dos?"
Rachel Bloom, great comedian but she is in no way kid friendly. I was surprised that they managed to get her to do an episode.
You should check on your own time. "crazy ex-girlfriend", she is the producer and the principal character of that comedic series. Amazing series.
Autumn Blaze reminds me of Skystar, and I don't see it as a bad thing. :P
The kirin queen reminds me of Celestia.
7:30 Ya think?
Hey, are some of the earlier episodes from this season ever going to become available again? I really want to see your reaction to them! Like the Mean 6!
I mean, can you imagine the internet in a world where anger physically manifests as fire? It's worth considering as a long-term, hereditary issue
I love their dazine
4:46 "fun guy" or "fungi"?
23:04 Just change never to finally.
7:28
I guess that was possible but then actual best kirin showed up
2:42 I'VE SEEN HOW THEY LOOK ALREADY BY ACCIDENT!!!!!
Autumn Blaze’s song sounds very cabaret compared to past songs of the show.
That rail worker pony is hilarious and would have made me love this episode regardless, but fortunately it turned out to be great anyway.
2:39 yin and yang ?
*My Little pony!!!*
Jefferson Gaskin OOHH YEUP
19:45 , Doesn't Fluttershy mean "anykirin"?
Kirins' character designs have got to be my favorite so far.
OMG I JUST REALISED NIRIK IS KIRIN SPELT BACKWARDS
God I’m stupid
3:11 poor poor flutter shy and I've never seen the purple and black one so yeah...
Autumn Blaze MVP of the episode
ok isn't this the second time we,ve had this as an my little pony lesson in mlp season five episode/part 1 an 2 lol i think it was / is
I lowkey ship Appleshy but even tho AJ is my 2nd favorite I do agree she was being really impatient with the friendship quest. Next season, I would really like to see more of her motherly and understanding side
Inb4 ep. 24 ends up being blocked til Friday.
In all seriousness, been looking forward to this reaction.
2:14 hello darkness...my oold friend...I'v come to talk with you again...
I mean the Mirik burned down the entire village SOO...I'd say that pretty bad.
My Little Kirin...My Little Kirin ...Ahhhhhhhhh!
I'd like to see a Kirin-based pmv-version of "I Burn" ^_^
6:00 , Doesn't AJ mean "front knee grease"?
10:30 , Once again, ya think?
The SOUUNNNDD of sileeence🎶
It makes zero licks of sense that they brought us the six pillars who have had precious little screen time and that they're bringing us all these new characters ane creatures if they plan for season 9 to be the last. Generation 5 has to be fake news.

no wonder I like autumn blaze, she's pinkie pie in a different hat
I like this episode!
9:42 well... ain't that awkward as heck to shout around all the kirin
13:24 dat face 🤣
I know that I'm a little late and I'm afraid that will happen for episode 24 as well as the finale too as I want to watch that through the reaction of AppleGeek first.

Apparently, I found out that Kirin are Chinese. I wish they had a little Chinese culture in this episode.
My little pony friendship is magic: Sounds of cuteness
