I just had to make a proper review on this after seeing the first few written reviews. This was a fan made MLP animation made by Zachary Rich (Now known as FlamingoRich). He is an art student at the Savannah College of Art and Design. He decided to start a big school project called the "Double Rainboom''. He managed to gather over 1 hundred skilled and talented animators to help with this project. It took them exactly 54 weeks to make, which equals to 1 year, 1 week and 6 days. That's a lot of time if you ask me.
Now let's start answering some questions shall we. I know there is an excessive amount of memes and fandom memes in this animation, but that's what made it hilarious! I laughed so many times when I watched this. I also knew that the characters weren't like themselves, but the thing is They Don't Have To Be, like come on people did you really think they'd make this show accurate? What's the fun in that? The sound design was also pretty damn impressive. The music at the end credits was just spectacular! And don't forget the voice acting! I was very impressed by the voice actors, they'd managed to copy the voices of the official characters impressively well! Though voice AI has improved so much to the point where it sounds identical to the original characters. Which is also incredibly impressive!
These People Made Everything From Scratch! Which is insane to think about! To the background, the characters, and all the assets! I'm currently an amateur animator, and it was really enjoyable to see how much effort they'd put into this. I've seen their animatics on their channel, it was really impressive, and was really interesting to watch. It's what made you know how dedicated these people are in making this animation. Also who the hell says this is less enjoyable than G3?
And to people who said the voices were low and hard to understand. I don't really understand what they mean, the characters said things pretty clear and audible. I'm pretty sure most of the VA's recorded inside their homes for this animation. By the way I just have to say this, but the reason why they added The Powerpuff Girls into this is because Lauren Faust really enjoys The Powerpuff Girls and even made a character in My Little Pony after the character Bubbles, and that character is... Derpy! Both shows were made/collaborated by Lauren Faust. If only these people just did a few minutes of research they'd get all there questions answered.
In conclusion I'd say this was one of the best/well made fan made MLP animation I've ever seen! I hope these trolls can better understand something better before writing hateful "reviews" on this saying "it's not show accurate" or "it's the worst animation I've ever watched". A review isn't a place to hate, it's a place to improve. Here's the official definition if anyone disagrees: "A review is a formal assessment or examination of something with the possibility or intention of instituting change if necessary".
And that concludes my formal written review on The Double Rainboom. Without revealing too much spoilers.
