Pretty damn big week! I’m gonna have to keep up a little better to not have giant posts like this XD
In the latest video by Tommy Oliver, he breaks down his favorite ponies, besides the ones he’d already talked about in other videos, and details what makes them so special. It’s a great set of character analyses so check it out if you’re into My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic!
The Gaming Brit writes simple, but often insightful video game reviews, with a tendency towards third-person action games. Content is sadly infrequent.
Rookiewompus analyzes My Little Pony often from a very personal and/or feminist perspective, with a strong focus on character interactions. She has mentioned an interest in analyzing anime in the future as well.
Super Bunnyhop (George Weidman and Nathan Velliquet) create in-depth video game analysis on individual titles, broad concepts, and industry trends. They also make commentaries, do interviews, and even have written content on their website, all of which is worth checking out.
Matthewmatosis makes epic-length video game reviews, breaking them down as thoroughly as imaginable. He tends to either take on an entire game series at once, or to talk about underrecognized games.
Antony C is a hilarious, charismatic analyst with some of the most in-depth and magnificent videos to ever be made about My Little Pony. He’s also an animator and borderline comedian, with a channel full of shenanigans.
Tamashii Hiroka is a hardcore Pokemon fan and analyst, who also takes on other video games, and the wider gamer culture, every once in a while. She also makes some of the most surprisingly in-depth “top 10” videos around.
