and the moral to this episode kind of hit home to me.

What is the appeal of this show?

Daughterfus

Is this the next MLP?

Not enough characters, it was made to support a mobile game not a toy line necessarily. Although I have heard some plushies will be coming out soon.

the appeal to me, imo, would be the different "art style". What appealed me the most, was just the fact that it doesn't feel so flat.

Than theres just the fact, I like the story. They don't reveal things instantly, its actually pretty well thought out, but im only a couple episodes in. For starters, Hanazuki didn't even know her real name at first, but it was revealed in the same episode, or even her purpose really.

>not a toy line necessarily
Uh, user? It was made to generate hype for a massive merch line. That's Hasbro's entire modus operandi.

Don't start.

It just didn't seem as "toy-etic" to me as other Hasbro IP. Usually you have a ton of characters so that kids can collect them all or find a favorite. When I foudn out that there was an accompanying Mobile game that clicked much better for me. Remember the millions stuff like Clash of Clans makes, it would make sense to have the game be the primary product rather than the toys.
From your pic they seem to be putting a lot into the Hemkas.

>Moral: some people just suck at everything and will try to destroy you for being successful.

>cute

yeah, sure

>good

not really, no

it's not bad, but it's not good either. watched a few episodes of it...way too simplistic and straight-forward. yes, I know it was made for young children, and that's exactly what it is: a simplistic young childrens' show with simple character designs, very simple stories, etc.

pedos, mostly

I like the premise, the Moonflower characters and the Hemkas, but I'm really not a fan of the other secondary characters like that diamond faggot and the unicorn.

Hana is not for lewd. Kia is.

Mostly, it's just cute. It's nice to just watch something sugary sweet now and then. It's also not too bad, either. It's written by the same guy behind The Buzz on Maggie and equines, and given its unique setting and strange logic, it pulls off some genuinely funny stuff. Not by any means the Second Coming, but it's at worst average.

Current merchandising direction does seem to be focused on the hemkas and various "treasures," but as the series goes on I'd imagine a lot more will be added (provided there's good reception to the merch). With more moonflowers, and their own respective counterparts to the hemkas, there's potential for various lines of merchandise and toys to be made.

Veering off a bit- I find it odd that Hasbro is banking so hard on this. They must have a ton of faith in Hanazuki's potential popularity, because they are going balls deep with production before even knowing if kids will give a solitary fuck about it.

For an entirely new IP, it does seem to be garnering some success on youtube (Though I still don't understand why most of the episodes seem to have a 50% like/dislike bar) but whether that moderate success can warrant the merchandise is another matter entirely. It'll be interesting to see what happens with this show, because I don't think there's ever been a product line started in this manner before.

Nope, it's not. Even though like every single media outlet tried to hype it up as the next MLP, some even going as far as claiming that it has adult humor in it (where?? I didn't see any) and outright saying that brownies should give it a try.

Feed chinazuki more chins!

Can't we just go straight to calling ourselves moonfuckers so we don't ever have to be associated with the fandom outside of Sup Forums?

...

You know I see this image so much
I'm glad I fucking requested it from that drawfriend

Ever heard of Fuck You Money? Hasbro has Fuck Me money; even if they manage to fuck themselves royally they will still be in good shape.
I really wish other huge companies would take more risks with new IP.

God's work user
I made this edit but someone else made this better template.

Yeah he's an awesome guy, he tends to be lurking about just after a new episode hits

bump

so how many hours till next episode?

Is this /u/?

From past experience, they all come out at around midnight EST. So about 6 and a half hours from now.

tiny
exquisite
feet

>no Hanazuki in the OP
k

Not anymore

but they're related

Only metaphorically

Cuteness, primarily.
Then there's the literally darkness that's swallowing worlds that gets you curious.
Then the introduction of other characters gets you intrigued.

Does anyone here have that gif of Hana being booped?

Alrighty about 5 hours to go till ye next episode
Fingers crossed Kiazuki appears
She's been gone far too long

bump

I refuse to watch this show because I don't want Chris Hanson knocking at my door!

They all come from the same cosmic flower.

this

But user, they're cosmic moonflowers that aren't real, why would chris worry about that?

but user, you can watch this show

without sexualizing the character

I know, those Hemkas are pretty hot

I'm sorry user I can't, it's far too late for me.

Wincest, right?

Just over an hour to go lads
Is it bad to stay up till 5 just to watch a 10 minute cartoon?

pornography

compared to other stuff that happens in these threads staying up late hardly seems like a crime

>over an hour to go lads
Yeah i'm going to have to tap out, see your Lunar crazed faggots in the morning.

>Lunar crazed faggots
Those are called "lunatics." It sounds classier.

Yeah I suppose though, but then I stay up and as a result stay in bed till like 3 and I always feel like shit getting up late, sleeping half the day away puts me in a shit mood

I do not care for Kyoshi and his moon's arc.

>I do not care for Kyoshi

...

Oh hey, the thread's here.

Here's one of the requests from last week, and the only one I'm gonna bother coloring.

Noice

Nice work on the pyramids face

Kyoshi?

HERE WE GO

Shy episode!

Holy shit I've been waiting for this!
I didn't think they'd actually do it!

Damn it titmouse, I don't know whether to love you or hate you.

>little dreamer's finger snap / I'm out
at the 1:09 mark, I'm gonna need a webm of this.

>lavender
>he

this is fine

Wait
Is lavender inspiration or shyness?
Or like both?

Turns out it's inspiration.

Knew it.

So what do you guys think of the episode? I personally liked it because we finally get to see lavender in action

the fuck is inspiration?
the lavender tree is clearly a sissy fuck boi

This episode really had them feels.

Someone needs a hugsy.

damnit titmouse get it together. you're better than this
animation errors make lavender hemka cry

Here is some concept art if you guys haven't seen it yet. imgur.com/a/5IAfH

Damn that's an embarrassing animation error.

>badDragon.jpg

This is cool

This is what in the actual fuck how was this approved

huh
looks like a bad dragon toy

Oh nice, thanks fer sharing

No idea who this chick is, but it was one of the requests last week.

Certainly wasn't what I was expecting out of this week's episode, but with what Hanazuki said at the end, and with those ultra spoilery scenes in that trailer for the last batch, I think I can figure out where they're probably going with the last 4 episodes of the season.

Kinda cool to have an episode pretty much entirely centered on not-Hanazuki, works better than I though it would. I really liked lavender's voice for some reason.

Oh God, I must've been looking away when that happened. That's really bad. Like, fix-and-reupload worthily bad. If these go on TV, I hope they fix that at the least.

Where do all those houses feature?

Welp, he's both, let's just go with that
Makes him extra special that way anyways

Nowhere, at least not yet. It's just concept art the artists create for the animators.

Oh also thanks to this guy, I finally found someone who works on the goddamn
app! Holy shit!

The "other" Hemka is probably courage hemka.

BTW, the rainbow hemka is a combination of all them, "squished" they say.

>"The rainbow Hemka represents what happens
>when all of the Hemka squish together and
>come up with a creative solution to a problem."

Really? Aw, I was hoping it was some sort of super rare mythical Hemka, still has a pretty nice design though

>kiyoshi is gone now
yay

Back to Kia, give her all the focus

I don't know what this is, just saw that newest episode, but I have decided that this is interesting and I will watch all the episodes tomorrow.

dont we only have like 5 eps left?
we still have to get kia back, forgive her, introduce little boy blue, get kiyoshi back and get tentacle raped by the big bad
we're never going to see an orange, mellow green or teal ep are we?

It will happen in due time friend

heh

season 2 wont happen till at best next year and all we'll have to tide us over are 200+ collectable toys

heheheheh

...

>Hey Big Guy

He's magic don't worry about it

thanks!

>mod bans the wrong guy for dubs checking

>>"The rainbow Hemka represents what happens
>>when all of the Hemka squish together and
>>come up with a creative solution to a problem."
Final Smash

There will probably be an episode telling us what happened with them on the other moon before a Kia focused one
Clearly we need to reveal Kia was part of the big bad all along and have her send Hana back to the past before disappearing right before planting her first tree

her skirt feels really unnatural in this frame. like her like just kinda goes through it. her skirt should drape over her leg

this is deserving of Rule34 yuri
