Happy birthday!!

[@Eleanor24601]

I love how you mention the origins of the fandom jokes and lore, I was still a kid when mlp was at it's peak so wasn't really a part of the online culture but I still enjoy seeing what people did with it at the time please continue it in the next ones!! Great video (and happy birthday) !!!

[@EffMinus]

thank you so much for your words of support! yea, my intention with this retrospective was to note all the births of inside jokes and stuff for newer/younger fans to try bringing back the feel of the early fandom. i'm very glad somebody pointed that out xd.

[@squeakybelle3711]

@@EffMinus Really appreciated btw! I've been hoping for someone to make a thorough video explaining these for years and from what I've seen (so far, gotta watch the rest later when irl work isn't a pain :p) this is pretty good! c: Will you be putting these in a document? It'll be much easier to search through for future reference.

[@michylichy01]

​@@EffMinus broo, that's Soo nice from you 😢❤ I hope you don't go insane and keep going

[@Korokwithabigbackpack]

Sameee

[@serious_house]

Adding the vine boom to the mildest kid friendly roasts is my favourite bit 😂

[@EffMinus]

THEY'RE GOOD ROASTS

[@thylascene]

real, it's so funny for some reason :") (the whole video is great as well, these hour long mlp videos are *chefs kiss*)

[@Iluvgiyuu]

I like the idea of birds being a music genre

[@MCLegoboy]

There's a Part 3?! We're analyzing every frame of this show, and I admire the dedication.

[@PeriwinkleKitty123]

We can’t wait for you to ramble about A Canterlot wedding lol Edit: I honestly genuinely wanted to hear you ramble about this episode especially the rejection part, BUT 50+ LIKES WHATT

[@iszybrawl2466]

I hope he rants about how much of an IDIOT SHE IS I FUCKING HATE HER

[@teriso1793]

1:10:18 I think we're supposed to be on raritys side here, the dresses to look pretty darn good, at least they should to most of us.

[@serious_house]

Especially when the designs that the other characters ask for look terrible.

[@TOPTEXTTOPTEXT]

Eff Minus always reminds me of that "Old man yells at clouds" screen cap and I love it lmao.

[@Pinkywinkykinky]

In a /pos way..

[@TheHalfblood.Studios]

1:57:23 As someone who raised chickens for many many years…THEY ARE ESCAPE ARTISTS NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO THEY WILL HOUDINI THEMSELVES OUT OF THERE BUT THEY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET BACK IN NO MATTER HOW OBVIOUS THE ENTRY POINT OF THE FENCE IS, EVEN… NO… ESPECIALLY IF THEY MADE IT THEMSELVES

[@EffMinus]

do you have any particular chickens you have fond or angry memories of? were they easy or hard to tell apart? this is actually very interesting..

[@reizenfuu]

29:51 I never expected to get hyped over a hypothetical Curious George retrospective

[@EffMinus]

BASED LUCKY STAR PFP

[@thehedgehoggamer8471]

@@EffMinus -san knows about lucky star and kotana I'm so happy:3

[@soap3318]

I love entertaining mlp retrospective to listen to while I study for my entomology exam !

[@DuckyDoesSmth9517]

At around 2:03:34 the CMC all have AppleBloom's eye color, just pointing it out since Eff minus didn't seem to notice *Btw AMAZING video, I can only imagine the time it took to render and upload lmao I'm excited for part 3!! :D

2:04:07 too with Scootaloo.

[@DuckyDoesSmth9517]

I didn't even notice, yeah you're right lol!

[@Dedegiko]

14:15 the way my heart started to beat fast in excitement, I love that OP so much. Also fun fact, in the japanese version of this series (season 1 only, I think) there was an extra that played after an episode ended which is called ''Little Pony TV'', which features Twilight and a woman sitting in a room to tell fun facts about the show, and at the end of the extra they do the Lucky pony slot START! thing to get a character. it's honestly a really fun thing and an interesting fact about how much love MLP fim gets received in Japan

[@vegetafan9922]

Wait? FIM receives love in Japan? I was under the impression that only EQG was popular over there due to it being be a more blatant Magical Girl series. I mean, the dub of FIM keeps recasting the voice actors and moving channels every 2-3 seasons. That kind of inconsistency doesn't make it seem very beloved to me...

[@Dedegiko]

@vegetafan9922 ....okay, I wasn't aware of that...

[@lautaroroldanpizzorno7494]

It was fun but I hated that they trimmed the episodes down in order to make time for the segment. Sometimes they removed entire subplots. Not worth it imo

[@deni_denz]

You know it's a good day when Eff Minus posts

[@D_H_Giang]

And big comeback

[@kaneda7005]

real shit

[@Vee-eb2th]

Yessssss!!!☺️

[@GlitterGum]

Ok but you focusing on the tiny details is literally my favorite part of these videos

[@effsbaddreams]

Sometimes i can't tell if you like MLP or not. Its definitely a love hate relationship, until it comes to sunset shimmer ofc

[@Vexlich]

Mlp has been a lovely escape from reality for me, was a little girl when G4 was poppin & I avoided a lot of the community bc 4chan/being scared of internet culture, these vids have helped me get into the series

[@briangriffin5372]

18:37 pretty sure she’s only saying that because like… knock bro! Why are you barging in my house? 😂 (especially after the way they treated her last episode lol)

[@fixxmymind]

I love this retrospective i cannot wait for more, like genuinely im so happy ure doing this Ill watch the shit out if it

[@EffMinus]

thankssss

[@MJ999-]

Dude the speech at 36:00 is insane! I really loved how you worded it!

[@Tall_Order]

I would love a CMC spinoff. Maybe they can bring back babs seed and twist for it. And it could also serve as a redemption for cozy glow. I know the fandom got annoyed that so many villains got redeemed, but we all saw what they did to a little filly at the end of season 9. Was that right?

[@Nightmaremistress1971]

Around 42:00-it’s definitely a coincidence-this episode came out a week after the previous one, where Dr Hooves first became a meme. They couldn’t have scripted, voiced, storyboarded, and animated that within a week.

[@Mooms]

Fun fact about Sweetie Belle’s singing: Apple Bloom’s VA Michelle Creber did the singing voice for Sweetie up until season 3

[@Thelastmanalive565]

I find it funny that you complain that ponies just walking into each others homes but you forget that these are business. Twilights home is a public library so people are gonna walk in without knocking because usually you don’t knock when going into a library. As it’s always open to the public. The same thing can be said about Rarity’s home. It is her home but it is also a business so obviously people are not gonna knock as usually you don’t do that when walking into a business.

[@LavaCatCreations]

Now the question is why aren’t they locking off the part of their house that they live in? But yeah I also agree.

[@circleception3916]

I love how long these videos are. I’m so happy that I get to watch the video over a couple of days ^~^ :D

[@thehedgehoggamer8471]

Same!

[@usernamedunno7784]

OMG- I squealed when i got my LATE notification..ITS SO GOOD (even though ive watched like 20 mins of it.) cant wait for you to get to the 'Party for one' episode and the other two MLP Equestria girls movies- if you want to that is. i know a lot of people hate two-three hour long videos but personally i think its amazing to watch such well thought out, quality content. you capture every detail, things i annoyingly noticed and thought no one else ever would and things ive never noticed. keep it up. also despite your branding being eff minus i feel like if you could write essays on mlp stuff you'd get A plus on every one cuz the scripts for these are so well articulated and hilarious too AND BY THE WAY, I MUCH PREFER THE FUNNY NITPICKY ATTITUDE IN YOUR VIDEOS PLEASEE DONT STOP THAT Also happy birthday lol

[@TheBeastlySort02]

This is one of the only retrospective series ive seen that actually analyzes the content instead of just giving a recap of the episodes. Nice!

[@teriso1793]

1:16:54 Maybe she just wasn't focused on Opal at the time, she can't be glued to Opal 24/7 so the mane 6 found the one opportunity to strike once Rarity was doing smthing else and they could snag Opal Food for thought, I just made the mane 6 even less likeable in this episode Well 6 - rarity

[@diminie_chimket]

Uhm.. that still doesn't make much sense, and doesn't explain how the five of them could be silent enough to take her cat without a peep from Opal - especially since cats (especially one as mean and loud as Opal) are LOUD. Doesn't. Make. Sense.

[@teriso1793]

@diminie_chimket tranqulizer 🔥

[@psychotophatcat]

​@@diminie_chimket Based on other episodes where she's hanging out in yards etc, Opal probably has access to the outside. They could have just grabbed her when she went out through a cat door or something.

[@iliciart]

been anticipating this so much!!

[@EffMinus]

that actually means a whole lot to me!

[@Tall_Order]

A song for Opal; Ugly caaat, ugly caaat. What has she done to you? Ugly caaat, ugly caaat. It's not your fault.

[@the_hype_on_tv]

12:20 as someone with animals and bugs as their special interest i can say no. i forget poisonous insects or critters exist all the time, or simply unconsciously assume they won't sting me lol

[@michylichy01]

1:45:17 I love that episode, not only because rarity learn her lesson and rainbow do her legendary trick, but because I link in my head that episode with a AMV of the song 'you are gonna go far kid's speed up to sounds like is rainbow the singer, and I loved❤

[@angelsstarz]

Been waiting for part 2! I'll sleep good tonight! Also happy birthday bro! I hope your day is amazing!

"A brief analysis" *the video being 2 hours long AND it's a part 2*

[@guyonline8970]

i really feel like they shouldve made the lesson of feeling pinkie keen "there are some things that just are the way they are and dont have an explanation, and thats ok. its ok to not have all the answers" which can still work as an analogy for religion, work as an answer to non-theistic questions like the meaning of life, or even just be an explanation to kids for why their parents dont always have an answer to the questions they ask

[@EmmaFriedlander]

12:58 I WILL LITERALLY CRY TEARS OF JOY WHEN EFF MINUS DOES A FRIENDSHIP IS WITCHCRAFT RETROSPECTIVE!!! I watch that series at least once a week. It will never not be entertaining.

[@EffMinus]

well then i better do it xd

[@KingOpenReview]

34:44 It's kind of an exaggeration of what it's like being the smart kid who's praised for being gifted struggling with things all of a sudden, though.

[@MeloGD-t3z]

Great video! I’m loving this series of yours so far….you had a ton of insightful things to say, perspectives that I never even considered before, and had me laughing the whole time. There wasn’t any excessive nitpicking or fussing over totally irrelevant topics….I think you nailed it! On to part 3 for me 😊

[@teriso1793]

12:12 dumb idea here but It could be a growth from the previous episode "If some thing goes wrong, I know zecora will save me so Imma hang out with this fun little hemmrhoid"

[@Tall_Order]

Regarding feeling pinkie keen; I know a lot of skeptics don't want to admit this, but there are a lot of things science has yet to explain. Notice I phrased it as "yet to", indicating it's not impossible. The problem is so many people think science is flawless. Kinda reminds me of people who thought the words in a certain book are flawless. They're just replacing one crutch with another by looking at it that way.

[@KittyOfChess]

Rarity's song in Suited for Success is actually a parody/tribute/something of the song "Putting it Together" from the musical Sunday in the Park with George.

[@bestkingvegeta4000]

i literally got so excited when i noticed this was released YAYYYYY

Rewatched part 1, now time for part 2!!

[@ShokoArc]

14:34 The Latinoamerican Spanish dub Has twilight reading the sign out loud as it pans on the screen On Latinamerica we usually get the footage straight from USA, when dubbing the shows the studios in charge add voicelines reading the text on screeen out loud, Either made to seem like the characters are reading or a narrator reading I some times her weirded when watching the original Openings and not hearing some voice reading the shows name and the episode titles

[@CozyGlow625]

I adore Opal. She's adorable and gorgeous 💜❤️

[@nathan_popittradingfan1965]

1:42:23 There's a good spicy, and a bad spicy. A good spicy is from something like salsa, chili peppers, or for weaker people, salt. It's when a nice flavoring accompanies the spice. Bad spicy is where it's just spicy, with a void of flavor.

[@Hatsune-Miku_Fan]

Hell yeah, this will be fun

[@sketchee_cat]

12:03 Fun fact: i was looking up mlp games and on the coloring book one on the play store, in the second level u have to color this pic of a younger fluttershy and a breezie, which is inaccurate because fluttershy says in this scene that she's never seen them before :P

[@brummelliana3584]

Sunnydaze and Peachy Pie were my ocs from age 10-13. I guess not ocs, but I sure drew them a lot

i saw your video (part 1) and knew i had to catch up I've been a fan for not long but i enjoy your videos and so i watched all of season 1, then kept watching I'm currently in the second half of season 4

1:50:24 looking forward, if we also saw more of cloudsdale in the show, the comic from the G5 where they explore cloudsdale and found rainbow dash memories before the magic disappear, will be more heartbroken Because for the ones who don't know, she said that fly for pegasus wasn't just being in air, it was their lifes and they were going to loose that for don't know how long, all of what they do will disappear, and for rainbow as a capitán of the wonderbolts, all her dream will disappear forever, and she even said to the future generations that please, revive what the wonderbolts was at least there legacy 😢😢

Good that I don't go to school anymore and it's morning here in my location😆😆

[@michylichy01]

2:04:34 is curious how this episode was one of my favorites because, im from Dominican Republic (hi) soo here the dubs are the Hispanic and the voice of Scootaloo sounds really really great, soo when they say in the show that Sweetie bell should be the singer i was like 'yeah, she is the singer of the group and have a cute voice, but scootaloo have a better voice for that song, why everyone complains?' Until i say the English dub and was like 'omg, now it make sense why everyone hate her singing' 😂
