Then again, Vivid. Not often you get to go on vivid, mind-altering drugs for a quarter of a day with a valid excuse to the cops! ...well, in most places, yes. Being tranq-darted seems to be fairly common an occurrence on this Base.

[@alanisstrife345]

While I'm not a fan of mlp, I find the Too Seriously series very entertaining. The fact that they did this episode as a Case Closed/Detective Conan parody, makes this one of my favorites.

[@waityamihereagain1978]

Same on all counts. I thought I was the only one!

Oh my god, Firebrand as Conan Edogawa is just too adorable!!

[@lightning-bliss]

Finally got around to watching this. *Giggles* Yay so you liked this episode. It took me awhile to warm up to it because it felt more like that episode from Pinkie and Twiligh tin the train investigation. But after awhile the style and pacing warmed up to me. Ya I suppose my only complaint is the more "obvious" villian, which *sighs* ya I would have liked your take on that instead. But oh well we live with what we get I guess. Nice review Fire ^^ Oh gawd if our child versions met... I think we'd destroy the cute meter...

[@CaeneusTelamon]

Oh my gawd... that would be adorable 😀

[@zigzoinks5493]

You already destroyed the cute meter before by yourself. Please don't hurt me.

[@jacksonnightmareluner]

Blissy, I know you don't like being small, but don't worry, you won't be a allicorn by yourself

[@nighthaste4311]

Well Bliss, you don't need your inner child to compare with Fire's inner child, you're already destroying the cute meter

"Does Firebrand have a son?" He does now!!! And a daughter!!!

"Does Fire Brand have a son?" Hahaha ha! it's funny because six years later he might just have one with Ari soon, so that's ironic humor. This and many more is why I love coming back to these old reviews

[@starvoltnexus3139]

Phoenix Rite: Did he really think that if he got caught there'd be no consequences Me: (holds up an image of Starlight) Considering what comes after it was a tangable thought process

[@KidSnivy69]

I can agree with that

[@hello-sj8cf]

This was so cute and adorable. Really funny. This episode had such great characterisation.

[@TheTazz96]

Awww, that little KABOOM was so adorable!

[@ShadowXemnas13]

Literally the only thing missing was a Hades reference. Aside from that, this is a top notch Too Seriously. It's my second favorite after the one with Silver Quill.

[@emperorflick]

"I'm going to start beating you now. I'm not sure when i'll stop..."

[@Worgen33]

The problem isnt with how the wonderbolts are portrayed, its that everything has to be solved by one of the main characters. Its that kind of show, its mane6's show. Its also why Celestia doesn't get to do anything.

[@Meanlucario]

I hope Josh and AnY do a crossover, and AnY thinks that Josh actually has a son, maybe be a mixture of congratulating Josh for being a father, and disgust, thinking that the mother is Rose, since I think she's still a minor. Just an idea.

[@PikminandOatchi]

+Jeremiah Blough She's 18. Not a minor anymore.

[@maxharter5716]

Grano Onis have you heard of the motherly scootaloo series

[@azazeltheundyingdamienkali5700]

A whole episode of Taking Too Seriously with the Skullgirls soundtrack?! With the themes of my main girls, Painwheel and Peacock (“The Lives We Left Behind” and “Shenanigans And Goings-Ons”)?! *Samson:* “Good job, kid!”

[@Calbeck]

It's an interesting idea that fiction writers commonly reference their real-life adventures, but I'd have to say that doesn't seem to wash. If it were common, the Mane Six wouldn't be much surprised, if at all, by discovering the secret double-life of Daring Do. Also, if adventures aren't the exception for most ponies, it would be less "this is amazing!" and more "well heck, I did the same thing last week".

“Why are you pausing so much?” “Nobody said there would be math!” Me: “Inconsistent much?”

[@trucetruce335]

Well it’s possible he just saw the equations up on the board

[@erwinguerra5870]

That background music was perfect for this episode. I just love jazz music. That was probably a major reason why I liked this episode.

[@majorascrash]

Josh is reviewing a Noir episode and the entire background music is the OST of Skullgirls!? The amount of "Yes" I am throwing at the screen cannot be readily measured.

[@demi-femme4821]

It can thanks to the Force, Magic (the Harry Potter kind, not the MLP kind), and supercomputers. The result is a yes amount of 15 Shut-up-and-take-my-moneys

[@MB-lz5eb]

"Nobody said there'd be math!" was said in response to an internal monologue. Alex can read minds confirmed.

[@themaskedmewtwo4320]

6:25- Did............ Rarity just strip naked and change into a new dress in public? .......... And completely casually? I mean, look at Rainbow's facial expression. Even she's shocked

THANK YOU SO MUCH, ALEX ROCHON!!!! (I didn't get it when I watched this first, BUT I now do!) One of my FAVORITE voice actors is in Case Closed!!!! Also, Firebrand...Alex was a part of an Anime Club!

[@cl0udzyd4y]

Wait a minute was that josh playing the trumpet? Cool!

[@AstralMuffin105]

Case Closed references and Skullgirls music playing in the background? You truly are a man of culture and refined tastes, Josh.

[@angbandsbane]

That was awesome and Phoenix was adorable. I just wonder where AnY's theory will lead him...

[@BNuts]

+angbandsbane Through Rose, I think.

[@Xohadarc]

Alex Rochon? Case closed? Ace attorney? DBZ abridged? Rarity = Best pony!? I love this sooooo much!!!!

[@krowking123]

THIS ISN'T A ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF CASE CLOSED!!! You have to go on for a couple hundred episodes with virtually no major plot progression and never go back through puberty even though with how long the series has been going you would have gone through puberty and hit your original age twice already! XD

[@EnderEmber]

you forgot having an entire episode finding random clues about the case, constantly talking about the suspect while they are covered in black, making every body gasp at the evidence, taking half of the episode to explain every thing, and to top it off a girl screaming somewhere

[@hariman7727]

Yikes! There's less plot progression in Case Closed than there was in Inuyasha! At least Inuyasha had an end. Also, that's about as much plot progression as Ranma 1/2.

[@undeadladybug7723]

So it looks like I didn't miss anything by bailing out partway through the first episode, the voices were just way too freaking grating. Also I couldn't get past the fact their ears were about the size of their faces.

[@colinbrown3170]

"KABOOM" in that kid voice , can't be taken too seriously.😆

[@DragoSonicMile]

Conan... Edogawa... Ettogawa... Adogara... Shoot, I've forgotten the fake surname. What was it? Edit: Edogawa. Thank you.

[@mintchoco625]

[@brony4869]

+Metool2 actually, edogowa ranpo is actually a Japanese pronunciation of Edgar Allen Poe

[@SunGodNika-bi2jr]

Gerardo Vazquez Me too I need to catch up with that series

[@tomsparrow1823]

The couldn't let Rarity say your jobs are rather hard because Tabitha's voice acting is so good it would've given the whole episode a mature rating

[@phantomdragon3893]

With a keen eye for detail only one truth will..ah you know the drill. Also the thing about Spitfire being stupid to fall for a letter, I think it's more of Windrider knows Spitfire. He also knows Spitfire loves her mom so much that, if anything were to happen to her she will leap into action without thinking.

[@mookieluvr]

Gasp that game theory refrane made me so happy!
