My only issue is the rapid fire gags. Princess Probs would be more coherent if they’d just slow down. Best of the Worst was paced alot better,so I’m optimistic.

I honestly thought it was ok. It’s not amazing or anything but it is far from the worst thing I’ve seen, heck it isn’t even the worst thing to come out of MLP as a franchise. Its something that will hold me over until G5 hits.

The entire Mane Six being given wackier personalities actually isn’t as bad as I thought it would be.
 
I thought doing so would cause the cartoon to become monotonous. It didn’t.

Well, it sure was something… I’ll keep watching it because I’m that thirsty for new MLP content but it was… special
 
Princess Probz was just bad. Besides some animation errors like twilight’s wings dissapearing and rainbow’s tail vanishing, it was also annoying how pinkie is suddenly a bad cook even though that’s her whole thing. Kinda happy that they brought back lessons in the show though, as in let your frinds do what they want to do and trust them  
3/10 end though since it was still a mess
 
Best of the worst however was quite decent. Was funny and enjoyable and definatly something rainbow dash would do even in FIM. 6/10
 
Overall it’s weird how certain stuff just happens. Random potions that transform you into other ponies, fluttershy being able to shrink and grow at will, all without explaining. another tiny annoyance is the toning down of the cutie mark, but I suppose considering the art style, they couldn’t keep the normal ones.
 
Hoping the rest of the episodes are at least best of the worst quality

I was trolling someone with bad grammar on DeviantArt. He posted a crude Top Cat character holding up a sign reading: “cancel pony life”  
The description read,“is bad dont watch it”  
I mimicked his poor grammar and he blocked me.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Music Connoisseur
So I finally saw the first two episodes of Pony Life to judge for myself, and I did not like them.
 
Princess Probz: This one was shit, it was tough to sit through it. It went by way too fast with the gags and jokes and the scenes and pacing was really sporadic. Everything was so bouncy and in your face that it got annoying. Because of all that, I got lost with the plot and the climax was just bad (Like all of a sudden she’s terrible at baking but yet she still managed to make a competent cake?) If I can give it the benefit of a doubt, I do think the concept of an audition to get into a baking reality show is a good one and I wish they could’ve done the execution better. Overall, not a great first impression at all. Final Ranking: D-  
(Irrelevant side note, because of my music nerdiness, that title reminds me of the British rapper Mr. Probz)
 
The Best Of The Worst: This one was passable, but the idea was just stupid. Like some guy out of nowhere with a stupid name challenges her to a competition to be the worst and she just accepts that quickly? I get that she’s supposed to be boastful and egotistical but come on Rainbow Dash. I can say though that compared to the last ones it wasn’t too sporadic which was a relief and I remember laughing at one joke which didn’t happen last time. The ending was good, where she’s content with being the best at what she does and doesn’t have to stoop down to someone else’s definition of “best” or “worst”. About that Dishwater Slog guy, I don’t know if the writers intended him to be a hate sink, but if they did then congratulations I hate this Aqua Teen Hunger Force looking ass turd. Oh and that little blueberry pony whatever his name is was so tiny, damn. Overall, this one was tolerable, but still not that great. Final Ranking: C-
 
Overall, Pony Life wasn’t that good to me but I’m not gonna give it up. Next episodes I’ll see if the quality can change for the better but I won’t watch them when they premiere for the first time.

It’s actually better than I thought. My opinion can change but here’s my review so far:
 
Pros:  
  • 10 minute format seems to work for these episodes as the problems doesn’t drag on too much like some episodes of the main show  
  • voice acting is top notch  
  • there’s a larger focus on the main 6 as opposed to background characters and guest characters (something I thought a problem after season 4)  
  • surprisingly there are still lessons  
  • Dash and Pinkie were written well in their episodes and weren’t fanderized  
  • AJ has a new gimmick which I think is perfect for her  
  • some of the secondary characters have appeared so we know that for example characters like Celestia will still be in the show  
  • lots of high energy which fits the format but not too over the top  
  • mane 6 aren’t tied up with a school and princess stuff aren’t really present
     
    Cons:  
  • setting is severely altered for example Sugercube Corner is on a cliff; I’m over this but it can be upsetting to some  
  • certain elements are not explained like the pony powers and potions which make them feel random; the latter is given by a character that makes no sense in having it  
  • adventure style episodes are going to be on the outs with a more comedy focused show  
  • I-pads and TV are now a thing  
  • Twilight barely uses her magic at least for now

Just saw episode 3 and 4, it’s still rather meh but it got some stuff to it.
 
Cute-pocalypse meow is still weird though with fluttershy once again going tiny and big at will. The cat reminds me of a LPS character for some reason. Overal it was weird to see hipster stuff again in current times and tablets and iphones just feel off in a pony world. Some good background music though Also, seems spike is no longer voiced by cathy weseluck now, but tabitha st germain. going to be interesting if we get a spike/rarity episode 5/10
 
how AJ got her hat back was a nice AJ episode, yet her voice seemed somewhat off. Like it was deliberatly trying not to go too southern, the swap potions are back needing potions to swap hats was weird though goth ponies was cool, but regular human sounding names urked me a tad. also that titlecard for part 2 was freaky. some decent background music again with the goth/emo theme. 6/10
 
 
From the traffic this topic is getting though, it seems not many people are into pony life  
It’s still not good but at the very least it’s not Princess Probz bad

I thought that both episodes 3 and 4 were pretty ok. Better than episode 1 for sure and good enough for me to keep watching. Look Pony Life is nothing amazing but I think it is just good enough to be a hold over until G5 proper rolls around.
