Hello, my name's Bano! Not Umano, Bano! [1] If you were to write it out in roman characters, my full name is "Bano Akira."
This is my second "My Little Pony" book! It's a manga! It's in full color! I feel like one of the most important aspects when talking about MLP is how colorful it is, so I figured I definitely couldn't skimp on the full color printing. I feel like I talked about this before, Deja vu.
In the current series of MLP, not just the regular ponies, but all the other races and background characters are adorable. This must be what they mean when they talk about a "treat for the eyes!" I think the male ponies are SO CUTE!!! I especially fell in love with Big Macintosh at first sight, no doubt about it, eeeyup. I also feel like the more I watch the mane six, the more I cannot help growing fonder of them. I love Rarity's regretful glamour pretenses and Twilight's serious-girl cheating...I want to draw more manga about these aspects of them.
BTW, Please hurry up and broadcast the show in Japan already! Maybe you can finally broadcast G1-G4 series on Cartoon Network. How about it, Cartoon Network, what do you say? You could use the MLP theme in interstitial commercials, it's short and the arrangement is perfect for that! Anyway, everyday I watch the anime and flail around exclaiming OMGSOKYOOOT!! And thanks to you, I feel great. Anyway, hurry up and broadcast MLP.
That's all! TTYL!

I want to make some minor changes to the Fluttershy rant. This made it slightly smaller.
Also, in the Gilda panel after Pinkie Pie suggests a party, it says "The nightmare returns" in the background. I missed that. Can you replace the images without changing their link IDs and getting rid of their data? If not, it's not important enough to worry about.
Edits:
Panel 1 Fluttershy: In my case, I've had experience as a professional model, which means ponies recognize me from the magazines and advertisements they've seen me in, and I'd say most of these cases are just fad chasers making a fuss over sighting any sort of minor celebrity. I mean, I've always been very uncomfortable with standing out in public, and my personality has never been that of someone who makes an effort to put herself out in front, but of course, you know this, don't you? And Rarity, you keep talking about people admiring me, but there were definitely ponies praising your beautiful hair and impeccable style. You just seem not to have noticed it. When you first overheard the whispers, you interpreted them to be negative slights against you, but if nothing else, no one is avoiding you or anything, so you shouldn't be so stressed out over this! [Hinan implies avoidance, not just criticism.]
Panel 5 Rarity: In other words, if I am the style inspiration for you, the target of everyone's attention, I must be absolutely fabulous! That's right! I am BEAUTIFUL! [instead of "affection" I think "attention" is a better fit.]
it's so weird reading a translation after reading in-language. Emily, do you mentally read-hear the japanese in their voices? Despite not being especially familiar with the show, my brain was definitely doing pinkie-pie nihongo.
Speaking of hearing ponies in japanese, I'm working this cool gal on a non-pony related project. She really nails Rarity, though I think I need to teach about how to NOT overdrive your mic.
Yes! Totally hear the same sort of voices with similar pitch when I read them in Japanese. Did I get anything wrong?
The parts I read looked good, maybe a little awkward? Translation is tough.. trying to include nuance and maintain tone. You definitely did better than I would have.

It seems like an OAV spinoff type deal, and it's coming out the same day as the season 1 boxset.
Tangential, lazy, unconvincing trolling: Maybe Chrysalis has become more subtle with her mimicing. Making you think she's Cadence in a Chrysalis suit.
