MLP:FIM Break Up Break Down

So a Valentines episode in May. Well I have begun to expect stuff like that from this show.

This is the eighth episode written by Nick Confalone (previous episodes were Party Pooped, Hearth Breakers, No Second Prances, The Saddlerow Review, Dungeons and Discords, Rock Solid Friendship and The Maud Couple). This episode was storyboarded by Roxana Beiklik (Who started boarding for the show in Season 4) and Cat Tang (who started boarding for the show in Season 6).

This is a very entertaining episode. The relationship between Sugar Belle and Big Mac is very sweet and charming, the humor is quite good (especially with Discord), the animation is excellent, and the story itself is charming. The only real problem with this episode is it is often overly predictable, and we know how it will end. Romantic misunderstandings are something we have seen in countless TV shows and it feels very familiar here. Still this is certainly an enjoyable episode with plenty of good laughs and charm.
