Current numerical scores for My Little Pony media



In mid-2016, I introduced a new scoring system based on four criteria: entertainment/humour, characterization, themes/morals, and story. Each of these is graded out of ten, and are then added together to find a mean grade out of 100. Here, I will list every MLP episode I have graded on this scale, alongside their rating out of 100. For accuracy's sake, I will not attempt to grade episodes entirely on distant memory. Ratings might be subject to change with future rewatches, and this list will expand as I rewatch more episodes (especially since this provides incentive to go through the whole series again). For now, I've rated the following media as follows, out of 100:

Quick update

At the end of my "Shadow Play" review, I promised:
1. a season 7 wrap-up review,
2. a top 10 Worst Episodes list,
3. a top 26 Best Episodes list.

I've not gotten around to the latter two yet, and for that I'm sorry; unless there's particular demand, I've decided not to go forward with the "Worst Episodes" list, as I'm tired of my own negativity towards this show. Such a list would probably look something like this:


  • "Look Before You Sleep"
  • "The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well"
  • "Games Ponies Play"
    "Magical Mystery Cure"
  • "Twilight Time"
  • "Somepony to Watch Over Me"
  • "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?"
  • "The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows"
  • "What About Discord?"
  • "Hard to Say Anything"
Although, were I willing to stretch beyond the show, Equestria Girls's "Mirror Magic" would absolutely make the cut. In any case. I still want to publish the favourite episodes list, but I haven't seen much of the show in a couple years, and my tastes have surely changed since then. No date promised, but it's still coming; in the meantime, I'll post here my up-to-date list of episode scores, which I'll update as I work through the rest of the show, concluding once I've rated every episode. 

Thank you for your patience.
