Trixie and Shiro works pretty well.
 
Sora is the magical matriarch like Celestia, but seems a bit more assertive/interventative (willing to intervene in her subject’s actions/challenge them) than Celestia is. I have a hard time imagining Celestia standing in Twilight’s way if she started getting romantically involved with someone she didn’t like very much, like how Sora challenged Senko about Nakano.
 
Also how Sora messed with Nakano a bit to gauge what kind of person he is/test him.
 
Shiro did that as well - but I can imagine Trixie doing that to some romantic interest of Starlight’s.
 
All that being said, though, being the magical/powerful matriarchal leader means Celestia’s probably the closest match to Sora in MLP.
 
As for the rest, I really don’t have much comment on each specific one, just on all of them; there’s not a whole lot of canonical characterization to go off of for them to say how good the match is. Iron Will as Tanukiman and Cranky Doodle as Nakano’s boss each have some basis, though - for as little as we see them characterized those could be good matches.
 
Gotta know both characters to be able to say how accurate a matching is, though.

It’s a rare case of the sub actually being better, IMO - maybe not in some aspects, but specifically Senko’s voice is absolutely amazing and is like almost half of what makes her character so great - the intonations she has, the way she says things - just, the delivery feels so Senko.

“when Season 2 comes out”, has it been confirmed somewhere?
 
Oh huh, Google makes it sure look like it.
 
I’m definitely going to be watching season 2!

Truth be told, few people will know someone who died from this after it passes. It will cumulatively be an enormous tragedy, but it’s a pretty low mortality rate.
 
But we’ll all feel the socio-economic and political effects.

k but this is about COVID-19, so please stow the TDS.

@Astrohippus23  
Its death and serious case rate is way higher than the flu.
 
@Ice Blaze  
Unlike lightning, though, this has a little thing called “exponential growth”, and its doubling time is ludicrously short, at around just 4 days or less. It’s been in exponential growth since it started and the only thing that has slowed it down anywhere has been China going under strict lockdown.
 
It’s as infectious as the common cold but ten to a hundred times as lethal, and the best part is it spreads for days of a patient not showing any symptoms, for many its symptoms can be mistaken for a common cold, and for some there are no symptoms at all, making it, unlike other past epidemics the media has hyped, a pandemic that is practically impossible to contain.
 
This flippant attitude is what caused this to be a serious pandemic. With >1% fatality rate, and spreading as virulantly as it does, it’ll probably kill over a million in the US alone, possibly more as cases overwhelm medical infrastructure as they’ve done in every other country.
 

 
But to help you understand this, let’s pretend you’re #10,000. Just a number. And let you watch what an exponential growth looks like:
 
1,2,4,8,16,32  
“Hah, it’s not even a hundred, nevermind a thousand, pathetic!”  
64,128,256,512  
“B-but it’s not-”  
1024,2048,4096  
“Well I’m still safe at-”  
8192,16384,32768,65536,131072  
“But muh flu”  
262144,524288,1048576,2097152
 
I realized this might be serious when China built a huge hospital complex in under a week. I realized it was serious when it spread to many western countries. Since then I’ve been watching the cases and curve-fitting them to a simple exponential growth model and I’ve had over a 90% correlation and been highly successful at predicting the daily cases using this simple exponential model.
 
Also, the cases wouldn’t be growing like this if it were only the reported numbers. Go figure it’s hard to catch everyone who has it when it blends in with the common cold. The actual infection numbers are probably 10, 100, or even 1,000 times what’s reported, simply because reporting it for any’ol Joe is so difficult. But no matter, that only makes it so instead of reaching 10% of the population by April 9th it’d reach it by the end of March. Exponential curves don’t care much for tiny factors like 100x.

I’m kinda amazed I never noticed Suzu-san, lol.
 
Funny and cute, matching archetypes. Nakano’s much more nerdy than Flash, though, and Kouenji isn’t an intellectual like Twilight’s defining trait.
 
Also Sunset… is less old-fashioned than Senko? Something like that. Hard to put a finger on it exactly, but there is some mis-match there, even if they’re actually surprisingly closer than I would’ve thought, on thinking about it.

@Background Pony #99CE  
Literally god-tier.
 
_{Or, demigod tier, at least, if you go with the sub’s translations.}

@Background Pony #99CE  
Senko is bae

The four horses of the apocalypse.

@northern haste  
The only condition I’ve ever heard of that does that is death.

There are much worse things to get blown into than a relatively calm and clear sea.

@TheSultanAkbar  
It doesn’t make sense that I think “…nor shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process” means police shouldn’t be able to just steal your stuff without even charging you with a crime?
 
It’s pretty simple, though. I don’t like people having the power to just steal all your medicine from you because they think it’s suspicious you’re transporting your medicine on a vacation, or steal your grandpa’s life savings because your Great Depression-era grandpa kept his savings in cash and you didn’t have time to put it in the bank before traveling.
 
I also don’t think Constitutional Rights should be able to be arbitrarily revoked without trial or any even suspected crime.
 
But maybe you’re just a big fan of Minority Report stuff and arbitrary revocations of rights, I dunno. But it doesn’t seem like rights are well-protected if lawmakers can just shrug and say, “eh, fuck it, this might help someone to SWAT them while they’re feeling depressed, we can ignore the national law of laws for this. After all the law that governs laws is only a suggestion, it’s not like those “rights” things are actually real and codified into law somewhere…”
 
Nope, not gonna get caught up in this right now, goodnight.

@TheSultanAkbar  
Police can “”“legally””” steal anything you have on the spot, depriving you of property with no trial in a blatant violation of the direct and explicit wording of the Fifth Amendment, and courts have upheld this. In an equally transparent and flagrant revocation of the Constitution, your Second, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments can all be revoked, no trial, if some judge doesn’t like something you said or could misconstrue it to be scary (in violation of the First Amendment) - and your home will be SWAT-raided with lethal force in response.
 
A lot of people have fought and died to secure and protect those rights that fools are currently trying to take away… everyone should be aware of just how bad Civil Forfeiture and Red Flag laws are. They are as illegal as they are inexcusable.
 
So yeah, I gotta agree with background pony when they say there are things much bigger than bad jokes to get angry about.
 
Constitutional violations are my [full-auto] trigger
 
I should go before I get too caught up in all this…

@TheSultanAkbar  
So you admit they’re double-standards, but we can just call them “sensible” and it’s all good now?
 
I almost hope you get to eat your words some day just so you learn some perspective and empathy.

@TexasUberAlles  
I would get annoyed that you don’t understand the stuff about men getting police called on them for watching their kids at the park, getting attacked by a kid’s parents or arrested for trying to help the kid find them because people assumed he kidnapped them - or a fun story where some man’s baby was kidnapped, then the kidnapper started screaming and pretending he was kidnapping his own baby, so a mob attacked him and pinned him down while she made off with his baby, and she would’ve gotten away with it, too, if his wife didn’t get there at the right moment.
 
Or how divorce courts favor women (look up how the richest woman in the world got her wealth), how they usually get the kids almost defacto, how it’s assumed men are the rapists and #metoo but never women -
 
I mean, I guess I did rant a little, but I can’t be mad at you. After all these years this is still how you spend your time, doing this, arguing on Derpibooru, so I can’t be mad, just sorry for you if you’ve really been doing this this whole time. And this thread. Go to sleep, people. Or step outside if you’re in Europe or something I guess. Man.
 

 
@Background Pony #66A1  
Civil Forfeiture, Constitutional violations… Ah, recognizing the true fucked up, boog-triggering fatal flaws of our country, I see. A fellow patrician of taste.

@TexasUberAlles  
Lol.

It’s the joy of acquisition. They’re part Ferengi and they just don’t know it.

OC name? Mare, right?

@Xaekai  

 
Hah, beautiful. Waiting a week to upgrade your phone would do more than a hundred long angry rants of moral posturing and virtue signaling on the internet.
 
Glad to learn my habit of putting off upgrading for many years was actually unknowingly helping the world, lol.
 
I was thinking of getting a synthetic diamond for whenever I want to marry, though, just so I’m not getting a bloody one. And because technology is cool, lol.

That feel when I’ve now missed two years in a row because life.

@Xaekai  
That, and the first slavers felt justified because the first slaves were blacks owning black slaves in Africa, and treated them terribly, so Europeans were like, “well, we’ll treat them better than their current masters do, so this is better than leaving them here to be treated much worse, right?”
