Every Season of My Little Pony RANKED

[@theluckiesteh9058]

Season 4 is my favorite season mainly because of its episodes and recurring arc, though Season 2 is also pretty great because I think it's a perfect depiction of the series.

[@afterceasetoexist]

Idk I feel like most people really liked 7 overall. 6 and 8 seem to be much more polarizing although I think I've seen more positive perspectives on 6 than negative ones.

[@CarolineElanorMcloughlin]

I liked S6-9 because of Starlight. Sure some people don't like her, but I loved her. I do agree that her reasoning for her being evil is stupid, but I loved her for her character growth and how relatable she is (making mistakes and learning from them). I always looked forward to her episodes. My favourite season was S4 though.

[@moonbowcraze1632]

Same

[@FM-kk6zq]

Me too

[@blitzn00dle50]

I honest to god think that she's the worst written character in the show but valid opinion. as much as I dislike how she's written I can totally see where you're coming from with this, I can't deny that she did grow and change as a character and she did have a character arc, albeit one shaped like an 18th power polynomial. and yes, her reasoning for being evil was utterly stupid, which is a shame because it was so close to being a genuinely good reason to hate the world

[@rocu5036]

I just related to her a lot. She's cool and one of my favorite characters, and her backstory hit hard. It was cool to find myself looking forward to her episodes when the mane 6 weren't as influential in the latter half of the series. But I also know that looking forward to other characters is a treat and I owe the earlier seasons to establish my connection to the show. I didn't really mind the later seasons since I was just thankful that there were SO many seasons of mlp in general. How many shows get 9 seasons? Pretty cool if you ask me

[@aliabuhammoud7706]

Same goes to me. She started as being the worst enemy to Twilight and her friends in the 5th season, and began transforming into being a beloved friend to everypony to the 6th and 9th seasons. Starlight started to learn more about friendship with Twilight as her mentor and started to progress as she saved her and her friends from Queen Chrysalis and her changeling army and eventually reformed the changelings to become good by sharing love instead of stealing it. Starlight is now becoming the most affectionate pony ever in the history of Equestria and beyond.

[@snobey]

Season 5 is the most mixed season for me. I mean, it had very good episodes, like amending fances and crusaders of the lost mark, but also very bad episodes, like Appleloosa most wanted and princess Spike

[@luigiwiiUU]

people keep sleeping on Slice of Life

[@neoncyberpunk6319]

dont forget the mane attraction, my favorite of the season! :)

[@snobey]

@@neoncyberpunk6319 it was pretty good too

[@theAstarrr]

@@luigiwiiUU Slice of Life? Too pandery, could have been written better. Even if you understand why they did it (which alienates plenty of people, including the original demographic and those who don't know the background characters), it's very random, and just not very entertaining to me. Amending Fences and Crusaders of the Lost Mark are the real 5 year / episode 100 celebration.

[@GabrielEmilCortez]

Season 4 is also one that leaves me mixed. There are great ones such as Bats and Power Ponies. But then we have rotten stinkers such as Three's a Crowd and Somepony to Watch Over Me

[@stormyraywaters]

I'll be honest I don't have a favorite I like all the seasons equally mostly for how they make me feel.

[@Flutterblushie]

I feel the same way. I have favorite episodes, but I love every second of G4, from FiM to Equestria Girls. I appreciate every episode and every moment. I love the ponies no matter how they’re packaged to me. I love the writing style and everything about the show, because of how it makes me feel. So nostalgic, wholesome, happy, carefree. All that being said, I do NOT like Pony Life at all

Season 8 is terrible and had ruined the show for me! The school of friendship was unnecessary and most of the new characters are laaaame. But at least MLP:FIM had a good ending with The Ending Of The End and The Last Problem.

[@hadeslord1081]

Season 4 is the best, and season 8 is the worst

Agreed. Despite the varied opinions, 8 seems to be the worst in people's eyes which makes me glad. With that said, I consider 9 to be the best followed by 7.

[@BlackBurrito9073]

I'm a fan of this show, and I've rewatched it 3 times already, but i like to keep things simple because this is a kind of show that is just meant to be enjoyable and nothing more, and there's no problem with that. That's why my own ranking of each season is also very simple, i just rank them depending on how many episodes i like and how many i don't like from each season (the episodes i don't like are usually the ones that I always prefer to skip while rewatching the show), so here is my ranking: 9.- Season 1 (enjoy a lot the charm of the beginnings but there a lot of episodes here that are just so boring to watch for me, like the one with the Buffalos). 8.- Season 3 (this is a special case... Because is not that there is a lot of episodes I don't like, it's just that with only 13 episodes my enjoyment of it overall wasn't the best). 7.- Season 8 (im also not a big fan of the school stuff, but this season gets a lot of points from me for introducing my second favorite villain of the Show, Cozy Glow). 6.- Season 2 (not much to say here, i enjoyed the majority of it, a Canterlot Wedding is still a great season finale). 5.- Season 6 (i love the Mane 6 but i also really liked the focus that a lot of the secondary characters got in this season) 4.- Season 4 (same thoughts as you have, plus the amazing fight between Twilight and Tyrek, my only big problem with the season is that i wasn't the biggest fan of the payoff of the whole arc of finding the keys of the chest, those rainbow designs along with the castle in the finale were just awfull. 3.- Season 5 (this season gets A LOT of points for introducing Starlight who is not only my third favorite villain and also because she became one of my Top 5 favorite characters of the show by the end of season 9, it also was here when I first cried watching the show... More specifically with the episode Brotherhooves Social). 2.- Season 7 (Half of the reasons this season is up here for me is because of the Perfect Pear episode, i have nothing more to say on that xddd. And also because I loved the concept of the Pillars of Equestria). 1.- Season 9 (this is the only season that Only has One episode that i prefer to skip... And it's that episode about the legend of that weird magical deer. Everything else in the season is great in my opinion).

[@ImmaLittlePip]

Season 1 just hits differently compare to the rest of the show Also I joined the fandom halfway into s1 so I have nostalgia and a bias towards it and I tend to put it somewhere in the top for me Plus the fan content during the last era of the wild west internet was pretty magical

[@SunIsLost]

Yea

[@HiHi-lt1cb]

Same here man. Season one is just so magical and nostalgic

[@amidthefight6915]

Season four is my favorite, probably followed by season three. I don’t know, there are few moments in the series more powerful than when Twilight becomes an alicorn, even if a lot of fans hate that. And the build up to that and the ensuing season following that is just very satisfying and flows really well. Season four largely feels like a collection of just really good, stand-alone, and iconic episodes. Very few duds. It’s incredibly re-watchable, more so than any other season, with season three right behind. Season two represents the show coming into its own. It’s the first season where I can unequivocally say “this is a good show.” I thought season one was very rough around the edges despite having a handful of series defining moments and classic songs. I like the introduction of Starlight in season five. There are a handful of episodes I really like in 5 and 6, but overall those seasons tend to drag for me. After season 7, it REALLY becomes hit and miss for me. I really don’t care for the Young 6 when they become more primary characters. And again it just feels like things drag until you get to around season 9 where the climax to the series starts picking up. It ends in a satisfying way, so it’s probably only a middle of the road season, but I appreciate more what it represents. I don’t think MLP becomes as important culturally as it was unless it went on as long as it did, and created the spin offs that it did. It would’ve been much punchier and less filler if it were 4-5 seasons, but again, its longevity and desire from the fan base for more made it iconic. The fact that G4 still lives on in the hearts and minds of many is a testament to that. I don’t have to like every season and every episode to appreciate that.

[@sublimelemon5444]

I fell off sometime around season 4, but just gotta say, them being teachers stressing them out to the point it changes their personalities and puts them in friendship ruining arguments all due to stress.... at least sounds accurate to being a teacher lol

Seasons 4-5 are the peak for me, plenty of some of the greatest episodes

[@GabrielEmilCortez]

You got that right. Everything else surrounding the seasons are mediocre.

[@GweenOfTea]

I think season 5-7 were my favorite seasons, I honestly just love Starlight so much 😭 I also like all the Rarity centric episodes in these seasons, Rarity is definitely my fave of the mane six and starlight

[@AlanJia8]

1. Season 2/4: hard to say between them since it's been a while since I saw 4 3. 9: I think this is a really underrated season that brought things back to classic mlp in a lot of ways with some modern imporvements to the writing that just made it excellent. I also loved the trio of doom arc. 4. 6: I think in terms of pure writing like dialogue and jokes this is a top contender for best season. It is also really consistent and all around one of the best 5. 3: this season had quite a different tone in the first half that was sorta more serious and it worked really well. It also has my fav premier and I loved Twiligjt ascending into an alicorn. 6. 5: has some of the highest highs and lowest lows, but the high well outweighs the low 7. 7: similar to 5, but slightly worse overall. 8. 1: I think it is charming, and a great season, but I still don't think the writing quality is good enough to put it above any of the others 9. 8: kinda agree with you

I came into the franchise super late (2018), but as someone who was able to mostly binge-watch the series across one year, I'm so glad that the later portions of the series weren't a _Spongebob_ level disaster; I felt a bit of strain with season 8, but it didn't feel completely terrible (and I didn't research behind-the-scenes, meaning I wasn't sure what was a toy-based gimmick and what wasn't.) Overall, I don't mind a show ending as a completely different show than it began (in fact I encourage it) - so long as it makes sense. Given what they had to work with, I think this was overall an incredible series and I wouldn't regret re-watching any of these seasons.

[@snek7024]

Same here man. I totally agree with you. I loved pretty much eveeything and enjoyed with how they shifted the focus slightly to encompass more than just the mane 6. I came in late aswell.

[@animationrainritewolf8388]

While I did watch some points if the show from time to time (since 2016-2017, The First EqG movie was my introduction to the show) However, I mainly got in the show after it ended (I started watching the show fully since July 2020) I watched the rest of the series on Netflix (Seasons 1-8)

[@Mega-Brick]

@Lord Shen It's a tough question, for sure. I think my favourite season might be season 5; I liked the premiere (and finale) because it took a common theme in kids' shows (equality) and explored the less-ideal aspects of it. The plot of the premiere was serious but not Equestria-threatening, which lended it an interesting, personal tone. I also found it interesting that Starlight was the first big pony villain: every (big, not minor like Trixie or Flim and Flam) villain up to that point had been a monster or force-of-nature of some sort, but Starlight was just a normal pony with some issues. Afterwards, I liked that the season had a core theme focused-around cutie marks and a secondary-theme around fear-of-losing-friends, which influenced a lot of the episodes. Overall it just felt like a really artistically-planned-out season. As for the rest of them, from best to not-bad: Season 5 for the reasons above Season 2 was when the show figured itself out Season 1 started it all, but did have some "early-installment weirdness" Season 4 for being the most nostalgic (not sure why) Season 6 was saved by Starlight, for me Season 8 had a cool main story-arc (despite the gimmicky school premise) Season 7 was okay, I don't remember it very well Season 3 was fine, but had some weird creative choices Season 9 felt a little weird, but I'm sure that's because the writers wanted to have some fun before the series ended

[@AlicornHana]

Woah, 2018? Same. It's actually the very second episode of mlp that aired on the no-longer available Astro Ceria (also in Malay too) and after i found out about the fandom, surprisingly i was interested in watchingn more of the seasons. Also, fun fact: season 1 is the only season for kids and the rest for everyone(this explains the looney toons thingy in Feeling Pinkie Kin and there were more serious topics over the years after season 1)

Tbh my favorite season was season 1 because I think it was just really funny and all the episodes were just normal days in Ponyville. The jokes that twilight made were really funny and altogether it felt really homey. It really made me almost want to live their. I think when Twilight became an alicorn it got a little chaotic because she was princess. Also Season 4 and higher was a little different cause the mane 6 all did like different jobs and stuff.

4-6 are my personal favorite seasons, but mostly because starlight glimmer is my overall favorite character and i love that we have a new character to explore different issues with, including topics like forgiveness and improvement. all of the mane six were already good people when you first meet them, but starlight is a character you really get to see grow and improve throughout her run (and i especially love her anxiety about whether she’s still the same pony she was before and whether she’s actually gotten better, that felt really realistic to me as someone who had to face a lot of personal growth myself)

As someone who came in right around the end of Season 1, and fell off before the end, I have a looot of bias, but here's my personal ranking: N/A: 7, 8, & 9 (Never watched) 6: Season 6 (While there were good episodes in there, on the whole I remember it just feeling really really tedious) 5: Season 3: (definitely had its moments, but on the whole I feel this is where the downward spiral began, and on the whole the reduced episode count makes the duds hit harder compared to the other longer seasons) 4: Season 4 (Felt kinda overly wacky at times, and I remember being very frustrated with it at the time, but I imagine it would hold up better on a rewatch. Still, atm ranking it lower just based on how I remember it. Really felt like the bad decisions made in S3 were further compounded here, even if in the long run, I didn't know how good I still had it until S6 and what I've heard about the last three) 3: Season 5 (very much a mixed bag and weighed down by the gimmickry that led to this point, but at its best, episodes like Amending Fences reminded me of what I loved about the show to begin with while casting older ideas in a more thoughtful, mature light) 2: Season 2 (In a lot of ways elevated what Season 1 set forth and really put the show on the map. I really like it... But at the same time, just from raw nostalgia factor and a slightly different vibe, for lack of a better word, I think it still comes second for me) 1: Season 1 (As you yourself said, there was a sort of innocent simplicity and sense of adventure in Season 1. While Season 2 fully embraced what FIM was and worked well with it, I feel like Season 1 was still half-rooted in Lauren Faust's original more adventurous concept for the show, and so managed to have this really interesting mixture of very relaxed slice-of-life and still a sense of a broader, mysterious and somewhat dangerous world outside the still-undefined borders. It simultaneously set forth what I loved about the show while teasing what I could want the show to become, before later seasons made the latter more mundane and the former more grand in a way that just stopped working for me)

[@tudorpetcu4432]

This is my list 1. Season 4: I like the fact that everyone from the six mane had to do something to obtain an object. Also this was the begging of a new journey for twilight as alicorn. The last 2 videos with tirek were also amazing because of the fact that Discord teams up with Tirek and no pony could believe that he would do such a thing. But that was also a good thing, because if it wasn’t for discord, then twilight couldn’t unlock the chest. 2. Season 9: This might sound overrated but compared to seasons 5-8 this was indeed way better. I love the fact that in the first video we see all main villains back together and what the mane six had to do to stop the impossible just by the power of friendship 3. Season 2: I don’t remember much but I ve got to say that I enjoyed all ep 4. Season 3: The ep were great but I won’t lie, the last ep were not mindblowing. Indeed Twilight becomes an alicorn but she didn’t had to do very much 5. Season 1: It was ok that is all I can say 6. Season 5: I was a bit dissappointted because they ve put so much work and it wasn’t quite ok 7: Season 6: Only the last ep were great, the rest were just ok or dissapointing 8: Season 7: Didn’t like 9: Season 8: TERRIBLE.

Really a lot of people I heard liked season 7 XD. But each to his own.

[@thegearknob7161]

I re-watched it all recently, including Season 9 which I had missed previously. Generally speaking, this is how I feel about it. In no particular order: I don't think it's fair to say the show started out very strongly and got weaker with time. I think on the whole it got more inconsistent after S3, but some of the best episodes came fairly late on. That continued on into the show. Season 8 is by far the weakest. It has a couple of decent episodes, but a lot of total duds. It's so aggravating because I actually like the idea of having the mane 6 run a school, and them having to deal with the stresses of it. It feels like a natural progression from their mastery of friendship to teach it to others. I liked the idea of education undermining racism to protect the world too. Unfortunately it was very poorly executed for the most part. Thankfully BGE was a return to form, I really enjoyed it Season 1 is the most innocent and childlike of all the seasons, but it has a lot of charm. It has some of the best interpersonal moments, and does such a good job introducing all the characters. It's timeless. Watched in isolation it has aged really well too, and it's the perfect starting point. If it's not too girly for you, then you can handle the whole series. They're still learning the animation here too so it's not as sharp as the later seasons and the colours are a bit off Seasons 5,6 & 7 are where things get more variable. They all have have a number of duds, but the episodes that do hit are the best ones of the entire show. It's where the show was at its most experimental and most thematically interesting. The characters have matured quite a lot by this time and they're dealing with more grown up problems. Season 5 is one of my favorite seasons in hindsight. That said, S6 onwards started to introduce a lot of recurring characters; too many really and it can be hard to follow if you take a break from it just because you forget who they are. Season 2 is incredible and easily the best one. I saw it live when it first aired, it felt so liberated compared to S1. They were able to go in all sorts of new directions with a lot less censorship, and the writers clearly had a lot of fun, but it still maintains a lot of the charm of S1. S2 alone has more good episodes than most shows get over their entire run. It's almost perfect. Season 9 is exactly what was needed after Season 8. It's a lot like Season 2 in many ways, but for different reasons. Season 2 was about pushing the boat out because they had got rid of E/I, while Season 9 is pushing the boat out because it's going to be scuttled*. It's kind of a shame, the show really rediscovered it's energy here. It fixed all the issues I had with Season 8. That said, I'm glad it got to end with dignity and go out on a high note. It's a luxury few other shows have.

Newcomer here; I think you’ve convinced me regarding your ranks! Subbed! Edit: Question here, would you say some individual episodes from the lower ranks would rival that of some of the higher ones in-terms of quality, style, and of generally being better? I know there’s a lot of things to consider, such as themes, animation, etc., I’m just curious, is all!

[@tsukivideos7459]

I agree with you on your opinions 100% I think season 5 onward they should have made the show more focusing on the mane 6 but dont start a school or a cutie map of friendship problems, I wanted it to go darker and more bringing up to a Y7 or Y7-FV rating with more black magic, more battling, more villains, more adventures, etc. I wanted the show to turn into a brony show more like My Little Pony meets sailor moon, fosters home, billy and mandy, kids next door, teen titans, powerpuff girls courage the cowardly dog, ed edd n eddy, dexters lab, and all those other good shows, so it's not so repetitive.

[@TheLegoNoob1]

Personally my favorite character in the series is discord and love all his episodes, but even I know that “what about discord” was an American tragedy

[@RhapsodyHC]

Season 2, 4, and 5 were the biggest turning points. Season 2 fixes a lot of Season 1’s over reliance on Twilight being the main character and writing to Celestia. Other characters can finally have their own story without her. Season 4 took the show to a more mature tone. While it’s still kid friendly, it ups the emotion, tension, and character arcs of about every character. Adding a seasonal arc was a great way to hype up finales and every season stuck to that formula since. Season 5 was definitely the last peak of the show. Gone are the morals being told to you, and more character development instead. It continues from Season 4 and in some ways were better. However, it was the first season to show weakness because the show started to lose its magic afterwards.

[@xlemzy]

Season 4 def gotta be my favorite. While Season 6 is my 2nd. Favorite start of the season “The Crystal Empire” while Favorite ending “To where and back again”. Just Starlight stepping up when she have regrets of her past, Trixie, Discord and Thorax helping her. Then Maud and Mud becoming part of that group later down the line. I just love them

[@pinkgirl294]

Season 3 was good. Twilight's an alicorn! Pinkie: Wow! Who knew that would happen? In fact, everybody, because Hasbro ruined it in the promos. Season 2 was alright, Season 1 was nice, Seasons 6, 4 and 7 were great, Season 9 was amazing, Season 8 was not so great, but Season 5 for me was the best season ever!

[@loudradialem5233]

I agree seasons 1, 2 and 4 are the best. The main characters were written well and weren't flanderized yet. Twilight was my favorite character and she was great in seasons 1 and 2; season 4 didn't ruin her completely. I kind of stopped watching after season 4. The only episodes of season 5 onwards I watched were the ones featuring Starlight, because I really like her, even though I don't like these seasons.

[@matthewmoore7916]

Imma have to go with season 5 or 4, and I have to agree I disliked how later seasons shifted the Mane 6 away from a protagonist role and more to a mentor and side character role.

Can anyone tell me which artist made the Fluttershy remix in the last 7 seconds of this video? (Buckball Season/ Fluttershy snaps parody)

[@cyberfalcon9970]

My opinions 1) Season 4 : The best one in the whole show, without doubts, and Tirek is the best villain 2) Season 1, 2 and 3: Good Job, Asbro, Good Job. And Discord Is My favourite character 3) Season 5: Full of events and very nice season, but i hate Starlight Glimmer as a villain. Seriously sis, yours are the worst villain motivatioms ever heard. ( Also, i dont forget her for her crimes yet, and probably i never will) She was forgiven too easly to me. 4) Season 7: I love it, one of the best alongside with season 4. And Shadow Play is perfection, despite lots of fans hate it. I put it under Season 5 only because Starswirl is a idiot arrogant and haughty. 5) Season 6: Yeah, not bad, not bad. Not ironic, i love this season, althought i have'nt seen so much its episodes 6) The Movie: They are so cute in that style, and Tempest Shadow is a good villain-turned-hero and her story is moving. Also, Storm King is a bit out of his mind in the final, but i still love him and he's funny as he is evil 7) Season 8: We are starting to slip into the abyss. I did'nt like some aspects of this season, and Neighsay is a mooncalf. And Cozy Glow, i find her damn creepy, and i cant understand why Twilight and the others are so, how could i say, rough with her in the final. Why they can't just redeem her as they did with Discord, Starlight Glimmer or Trixie? But not so bad 8) Ah, Season 9, forgive me, but....IT IS THE SHIT. They destroyed Twilight character with things she would never do, and Discord's plan for make her trust her skills was totally bad projected and reckless. Seriously, Discord? What the heck?!?! Where do you get off thinking that give to the three worst villains of Equestria a magic artifact which make overpowerful anybody who activate it was a good idea?!?!?!?!?!?! Also, I totally hated how they turned a filly, and i repeat, a FILLY, into stone, and luckly they should be the good guys. How are she supposed to feel knowing that ever the incarnation of friendship refused to give her the chance of change? But now, tell me: What Is your favourite season? Do you agree with me about season 9? Equestria Girls: Equestria Girls 2013: Good Story, Sunset Shimmer is a nice villainess and i ship Twilight and Flash Sentry Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks: Yes, Yes. I like the dazzlings as villains and Sunset's trubles in rebuild her reputation after the first movie and regain the other's trust. Besides, the final battle-song is AWESOME Equestria Girls :Friendship Games: I love the fact they put in the possibility of a human version of others Equestrian Characters beyond the Mane 6 and Trixie. And Chinch is a abusive victory-obsessed garbage pile Futhermore, Midnight Sparkle is creepy but good and the final battle between Daydream Shimmer and her was epic Equestria Girls: Legend of Everfree: Finally Sunset has her own power. But i don't like Gloriosa Daisy/Gaia Everfree as a villainess Equestria Girls: The magic of.....trilogy: The first one Is more a filler episode than a true episode, the other two are good, but i prefer the cinema's magic rather the mirrow's magic, Juniper Montage is s great villainess, but she could do much worse of brag with a magic and dangerous mirrow Equestria Girls: Forgotten Friendship: Not bad, but the equestrians should stop to use the human world as a junkyard for the magical/dangerous/possibly letal in the wrong hands objects they dont use anymore Equestria Girls: The Rollercosters of Friendship: Rarity x Applejack in the air, i love it Equestria Girls: Spring Breakdown: Not bad, very in line with Rainbow Dash Character , and Storm King Was'nt gone at all yet Equestria Girls: Sunset's backstage pass: No

I would like to ask why you hate The Mane Attraction, A Friend In Deed and Magical Mystery Cure.

[@tailsic]

@@10thDoctorWhoovez I don't like The Mane Attraction because it highlights Applejack worst trait to me Applejack, she thinks she knows what's best, Rara is a pop idol, and she love it, her fans love her, and yet Applejack is the only that as a problem with it, why? because Rara not being true to herself, because she like dressing up like a diva, she likes all that flashy stuff, she not the pony i remember. i really hate that, just because a character changes something about themselves, that doesn't mean there a different person, there just willing to try new things. Applejack was selfish this episode, she wanted her friend to shine as Rara, even though she was ok shining as The Countess. I Loathed A Friend Deed, because it made it seem like Cranky didn't have a choose, he had to be friends with her, there was no other options, Pinkie torture Cranky through this episode, the man was broken, he wanted to be left alone, and Pinkie mess with his stuff, destroy his hair piece, and destroy one his most treasured possession, all because Pinkie can't take a hint, I don't find that cute, i don't find that funny, i was really feeling for Cranky, and they made it a the ends justify means ending, pinkie did right at the end, so that makes up for everything she did, that's a horrible lessons, this episode made me hate Pinkie Pie, more then i've hated any other fictional character. My dislike of Magical Mystery Cure? it's not that deep a reason, i just don't like Twilight being a alicorn, it ruining the group dynamics, i view the main six as equals, but after Twilight became alicorn, it feels like she became there better, more important then them, she really feels out of place hanging out with them. and that saddens me.

[@xx-diamondkatz-xx5374]

I have watched most of the MLP franchise (currently watching through s9). I started watching it 2013-2014, and dropped it later when it reached season 8 due to lack of interest. However, I picked it up again last year and I've got to say, the newer seasons (8 + 9) aren't as enjoyable for me, compared to the earlier seasons. I know a lot of people will disagree with me on this, and that's okay, but in my opinion, I would have preferred if they stuck with the main 6 as the center of the show. While the newer characters weren't bad, I feel like their backstories weren't made clear enough, and it seemed like some random characters added simply because the writers ran out of ideas with the original "cast". I think the friendship of the main six start to fade out, almost, as the show progresses. They leave more and more roles and opportunities for the student six, while not exploring further into the characters that have carried the show for seasons. Their personality traits eat the character whole, and the show never introduces any new weaknesses or strengths. Twilight's always smart, organized, and prepared while freaking out in certain situations, Fluttershy's always polite and shy, Pinkie's always overexcited, and Starlight's always desperate to make a good impression on others, not trusting herself with playing big roles because of her past, just to name a few. And on the topic of Starlight, I'll just say that I'm not a big fan of her role in the series. Sure, it's nice that she got past her villain arc, but that doesn't mean she should straight-up join the main six. Like I said, I have not watched the whole of season 9, so I apologize if I'm wrong here, but Starlight only seems to hang out with Twilight and seek help from her, although it was all of the main six that originally helped her-- she rarely spends any time alone with others (excluding Trixie). This video was nicely put-together, and I loved scrolling through the comments to see other people's opinions! Anyway, that was my freakishly long paragraph on my opinion of s8-9 MLP that nobody asked for. If you read this far, thank you and have a nice day haha!

First time I watched it, I felt curious, but thought I would regret it, since I hated myself at the time. Didn't think much of it, but after watching it for the second time, I was surprised at how fun the series is.

[@SpongeyTheEditor]

This is a respectable ranking. I think every season is good to some extent but I do feel 6-8 left me left i9nvested as a whole compared to before. Here's my own ranking. Season 8: There were some cool new ideas like the school, and the student 6 but otherwise it felt like they were spinning wheels, running out of things to do for the mane 6. I don't fault them too much ,it happens when you this far but it still leads to things like Non Compete Clauis. This season lacked many truly impressive episodes, it's the only one without at least one episode I could put in my top 20, as much as I enjoy certain ones. Certain moments are all timer but not quite many full episodes are. Season 1; It has more truly great ones than others, it just has those early series jitters that make it awkward to come back to .It's charming but some stuff feels less impressive given where they go later on. A good start. Season 7: Has some of the season 8 problems but it has a solid arc that was interesting. It feel into some old trappings that are meh. It's the most "okay" season, most of it is simply good and doesn't lean too hard either war, some notable exceptions. It's good but I did start to loose interest at times. Season 6: This is where the series got a bit less impressive but there's still a solid effort here. A few more flaws but more that I loved, there's some all timers here. Starlight was weakly handled but the finale was great, the last really good finale until season 9. Not ideal but better than what came after. Season 9: A good return to form to end on. Not as good as I may have wanted, as it gets a bit middling with some same-y stories and the weak episodes all seem to have the same problem but there's good attempts at wrapping things up. We went back to having all timers, especially the finale which was a fantastic closer. I wish i could rank it higher but it's good where it is. Season 5: Pretty good. It hit new ground, had some impressive episodes and felt like it continued things nicely from season 4. Starlight's redemption is iffy but otherwise I don't have beef with the season, others are just better. Season 3: Impressive for just a half season. It had less weaker ones and those were less flawed, usually. Quite a few fantastic ones in here. It is skewed by being short but not too much, if this were longer and kept it up, it'd be higher. Hell, maybe they should have done more half seasons. The finale was pretty great and looking back, Alicorn Twilight was a good move and helped the show overall, generally. Season 2: Great step up, fine tuning everything and breaking new ground. A few rmid episodes but they don't detract too much. Tons of classic, they dropped having Twilight in every episode and it was just all very solid. Season 4: Easy choice. Fantastic season. The Equstria Games arc was weak but that's my only issue, even with a couple oddball ones. The key arc was good, and the best ones really raised the bar, with wild new ideas that worked,. Pinkie Pride alone makes this season gold, and Twilight's Kingdom is the show's masterpiece. If it ened here, I'd be okay with it. Overall, the best for me. It's wild that the show did everything that usually derails show, and still stays generally good even through lesser patches. even Season 8 is better than most shows that go on too long can say, I'll give it that. Far from a perfect show but still full of good seasons. It's cool to see how those rank the season, I know someone who says 7 is the best. I respect that.

I liked the student six, it was refreshing seeing someone else other than the Mane Six and Spike being allowed to be a character and not just a bit one time player for the sake of the plot. But I will never understand how the show didn't realise Twilight was being kinda racist in assuming they have to "civilize" all the uncouth races around them, more so when at least three of those species (Changelings, Yaks and Seaponies) had no known issues with making friends at all, but were there anyway. Not someone who wants to inject a political slant into everything, it just felt oddly tone deaf and condescending as hell and no one seems to point that out.

For me it's Rainbow Rocks, Friendship Games, Equestria Girls, Legend of everfree

You didn't mention, is your favorite episode Twilight's Kingdom?

[@jsvdfontiakasg4441]

Season 2 and season 3 are my favorite But season 8 and season 9, those are my least favorites

[@animationrainritewolf8388]

My Ranking (Updated) Worst: Season 8 (when there's only 10 "good" episodes of the season, you got a problem) Best: The Hearth's Warming Club Worst: Yakity Sax 8. Season 6 (a very underwhelming way to continue the series and there were more average episodes than any other season) Best: Gauntlet of Fire Worst: No Second Prances 7. Season 2 (This season was a mix of some of the best episodes of the series and some of them are the epinimy of bottom of the barrel) Best: A Canterlot Wedding Worst: The Mysterious Mare Do Well 6. Season 1 (Valiant effort for a first season) Best: Suited for Success Worst: Look Before You Sleep 5. Season 3 (While having only 12 episodes, most of the episodes were actually good) Best: Magical Mystery Cure Worst: One Bad Apple 4. Season 7 (Despite a somewhat messy arc, I enjoyed this season enough to call it good) Best: The Perfect Pear Worst: Fame and Misfortune 3. Season 4 (now we get to the top tier seasons as and this along with #2 are about on the same quality in terms of how great they are with a very engaging arc that led to satisfying conclusion) Best: Twilight's Kingdom Worst: Somepony to Watch Over Me 2. Season 5 (Same as Season 4 personally, but this season has more impact with episodes that left a massive game changer for the series) Best: Amending Fences Worst: Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep? Best: Season 9 (a satisfying way to end the series that had more than enough great episode to outweigh the bad episodes and it's mainly for the arc itself that shoots it to #1) Best: The Ending of the End/The Last Problem Worst: A Trivial Pursuit

Wich are the 10 only good season 8 episodes?

@@edoardoguzzi3553 Friendship University (just barely an I episode I can say Is Above Average) The Washouts Grannies Gone Wild Horse Play The Break Up Break Down Surf an/or Turf Sounds of Silence Molt Down What Lies Beneath The Heath's Warming Club Don't know If I count Best Gift Ever. Doesn't save it from being the worst season of the show

[@Bobby14]

Noob here but ONLY 10 GOOD EPISODES/SEASON IS A PROBLEM? No offense but how many episodes are in one season?

[@animationrainritewolf8388]

@@Bobby14 This season has 26 episodes, It has less great episodes in comparison.

[@LaurenSherwood-n8i]

I do think that the show could’ve ended at season three because magical mystery cure was amazing, and had potential to be the ending of a great show

[@scribblecloud]

my favorite season is season 3 and my favorite episode is magical mystery cure

Diffrent strokes for different folks.

[@SunIsLost]

If I was CEO of Hasbro rn, I would probably declare seasons 3 - 9 (despite how good some of them are) + EQ and specials + 2017 movie + G5 stuff as non-canon. And do a half-reboot, putting Lauren Faust in charge and let her freely make Season 3 + maybe slightly revised version of Season 2 (sounds like a silly utopia being done too late)

[@alejandrootero8894]

I love the season 7, only 1 or 2 bad episodes and was Epic.

[@bigpauly2703]

i enjoyed season 7 the most or as some call it the fanservice season

[@captain_cassidy]

i find it annoying that after twilight became princess of friendship and got her map, basicly no one in equestria could have even the slightest dissagrement or twilight would come flying in and try to fix it.

I think my biggest disagreement would be season 6 and season 9. Season 6 may not have been perfect for Starlight Glimmer, but it has enough standalone hits to make it my second or third favorite. I would have season 9 take its place. It seemed very lacksadasical.

[@lordshenfan6625]

What hits are in season 6 to you? I think it's the weakest season myself. With Season 1 2 3 4 and 5 being the best in the whole show. Just curious.
