>>28505721
Survey Anon will usually make a thread with a poll shortly after an episode is released, and will link the poll in the mlp general.

It tells you on the graphs the amount of Anons who voted. Anywhere from 250-350 most of the time.

>>28505861
Then finally, my favorite is this baby.

Long story short, it's basically what you would get if you squished all the episodes together into one and compiled all the ratings into each other. The scale on the left is the percentage vote every score would receive out of one hundred percent.

So basically, this is what the season looks like so far, more or less. There's still a few episodes left, so it will change a little bit. Not too much though unless we get some insane results from the upcoming episodes.

The Low/High Split for this would be 22.7% to 77.3%

>>28505874
As you can see >>28505881 Anon's have rated the episodes individually on average at about 6.96/10

What that means is up to you. That doesn't nessarily mean it's good or bad, that's just what people have rated it so far. You have to keep in mind that this is all opinion based, the only validity this has to it is that it has A LOT of opinions to back it up. Even then you can just make the argument that everyone here has shit tastes and say that it should be higher or lower for one reason or another.

It's important to remember that when discussing these things the numbers aren't as important as the reasoning behind those numbers. The numbers are useful to see where things stand at a glance and to get a basic understanding of how people perceived things, however without any context they're meaningless for anything more than that.

For example, the lowest rated episode so far was The Cart Before the Ponies. That's nice to know, but you have to ask why it was the lowest rated episode. Probably because it was fucking awful...

Oh, and to be clear. That's all I have for you for now. I'll be sticking around for a few hours before I go pass out to keep the thread bumped and awnser any questions or join in any discussion you guys have.

So, again, do you guys have any questions, comments, concerns, or anything you would like to discuss about all of this?

>>28505906
Will I ever meet my waifu? But seriously, thanks for doing this. I find it weird though because overall, the ratings haven't been that bad this season yet everyone has been saying how shit it is.

Two words, vocal minority. That or rigging, though I see the former as the more probable of two possible causes to that disparity. I figure the people complaining are either the minority or they still legitimatley enjoy the episodes despite their complaints.

Also, I hope so man. For you and me both...

>>28505934
If you pay attention a lot of the shitflinging is coming from the same posters shouting down each new episode. They always post with the same images/filenames.

>>28506038
>>28506069
To be fair to them that wouldn't make any point they bring to bear any less valid. Though of course that is implying that they present any kind of argument to back up their opinions whatsoever.

>>28506080
With that kind of mindset barneyfag's intent to keep 4chan against ponyfags is totally reasonable and valid to spam the exact same screencaps and catchphrases every time he finds or makes a "cryptopony" thread :^)

>>28506095
Not nessarily so, becuase while Barneyfag's has a lot of arguments essentially all of them are clearly invalid and the man clearly has a personal vendetta against cute things as he has expressed before. The fact that he posts everywhere and acts like an autist doesn't make his points any less valid. Though that doesn't really matter becuase his points were never valid to begin with.

If they're just saying, "I don't like thing" then you really shouldn't be giving a fuck, the same goes for people who will just mindlessly say, "I like thing". The people you need to pay attention to are the people who say "I like thing because" or "I don't like because" and you should specifically pay attention to what comes after the "because".

>>28505881
7/10 is the definition of "it was ok"

>>28506120
I know m8, note the cheeky smiley. I was just taking the piss.

>>28506136
What kind of rating scale are you referring to? I know some people misconstrue 7/10 as meaning "average" for some reason.

I left the board for a few days after this episode aired, and I completely missed this graph. Sorry for being so emotional, but I'm happy to see these results.

I mean, I'm not happy to see people disliking episodes, duh, I wish we never had to dislike any episode, but this was an original (?) and fun (??) episode, and almost the only reason to dislike it so much was the absolutely terrible characterization of Dash. We Dashfags are not even close to be as much as the 45% of the board, and sometimes it seems that pretty much everyone who isn't a Dashfag hates her. The fact that so many non-Dashfags rated the episode with a low score probably means that there are more people here than I thought liking her (or, at the very least, not wanting to see her character completely butchered). I know I'm being completely stupid for caring about something as silly as this, but I think it's really nice. Thank you, guys.

>>28506167
Around here schools use a scale of 4 to 10, where 10 is perfect and 4 is failed. As such, 6-7 is average.

>>28505934
>I find it weird though because overall, the ratings haven't been that bad this season yet everyone has been saying how shit it is.

The shitflinging is rather repetitive though, so I wouldn't be surprised if it comes from the same couple of people every time.
Also the instant feedback is always overwhelmingly positive, people are just less inclined to keep repeating that they enjoyed something than they are to keep talking about how much they hated it.

>>28505881
What was the average rating for the other seasons where you did this? I don't actually remember for how long you have been doing these polls

Huh, Saddle Row being rated that low when most people hail it as the best episode as the season is kinda shocking. That and No Second Prances being ranked way above it.
But all these rankings seem pretty par for the course, only 4 really badly rated episodes, and the rest are pretty okay. Can someone remind me how the show is dying again? Cause based on this it looks just fine.

>>28506291
Keep in mind that these are only the results of people rating within six hours of the episode's original air date. The exception would be the one that was leaked, for obvious reasons. I think that was Truth Is Stranger Than Fan Fiction, but I can't remember off the top of my head since I was traveling at the time.

Saddle Row Review could be a perfect candidate for skewed data since there were like eight different polls running at the time because people were being retarded. It could also be a whole silent majority thing again. You know how it is, just because "critic's are raving" doesn't mean the average person gives a single fuck.

Past that it's still 5.95/10. That's by no means amazing but ~6/10 is still somewhat solid.

desu I complain a lot and i pretty much fot the mold for an s1/s2 fag, but I usually rate pretty generously, even on episodes I turn sour to or don't even like. I think a decent amount of folks do the same and complain about their minor gripes later. That generalfags come out, watch, vote, and leave before discussion

>>28506291
>only 4 really badly rated episodes, and the rest are pretty okay. Can someone remind me how the show is dying again?
I don't have the numbers to back it up, but as far as I remember, s5 only had two really badly rated episodes, so this season is "twice" as bad as s5.
Even worse, those two episodes were written by the same guy, which meant that it was basically his fault, while all the four worst episodes this season were written by different people (Rapp, the Fox brothers, Valentine and De Marco), which suggest that not only the writing, but also the supervising and the direction failed.
Also, keep in mind that probably one of the remaining episodes was written by Dusedau, so expect to add (at least) another episode to the list of "really badly rated" episodes before the season ends.
These are not reasons enough to say that everything is shit, it's not, we had some great episodes this season. But they're reasons enough to be a bit worried.

Also, we love drama.

Fair enough
I'm honestly getting tired of the 'MUH SHOW IS DYING' diatribe that's constantly popping up these days. I mean I've dealt with it before, hell, I was here during S3, but I don't think even then it was as bad as it is now.

Ok then, I thought the one that leaked was an earlier one, unless we had two leaks this season. Did that happen?

STFF was leaked on Netflix a few hours before airing on DF, TFIOCM was leaked in Polish several days before airing on DF.

That has been around since season 2.
Maybe even 1, but I only definitely remember it for season 2.

I doubt it is ever going away but it also clearly has no effect on the show at all. Just ignore it.

S1 fag and "X is shit" has been around since the first episode in number. If you look at both individual episode strawpolls and the polls done for the series as a whole each season, each season is generally well accepted by /mlp/ year to year.

I'd say that Season 3 was the only one that slightly deviated due to it's shorter episode number, release alongside EQG, and the knowledge that Twilight was getting wings. Beyond that, people complain about every episode being shit, every season being shit, every writer, every decision etc...

I feel that any feeling of it having grown recently is more that we haven't had an episode that introduced anything tangible (character, song, etc) for people to wave around. Ember did that to an extent but generally, two or three episodes a season usually cause /mlp/ to go nuts and I feel that while season six is good overall, it's still lacking an episode to make people feel really attached to the season.

>>28507620

first episode in season 1*

Nice stats OP, thanks for doing this.
I'm glad to see I was right with my theory that people who scream this show is becoming shit/it's dieing are the vocal minority.

>>28505668
Thanks for doing all these stat collecting polls and making these charts. Makes me curious where all these episodes are going to fall when I do another episode ranking survey after S6 ends.
A few of them I can see being high up, but otherwise I have no clue how the season will average out compared to the others.

Cheers lads, also as for the ranking survey dude I want to say I'm a fan of your work.

>>28508772
Thanks. I'm just happy there's still Anons willing to take the time to go through the long sorting process, and that there are Anons willing to help with making changes to the sorter when the time comes. I'm always afraid I'll hit a roadblock in episode/movie count eventually where it's just too long for enough Anons to participate. It'll be 147 items this time around and the last one took me an hour to complete a list going at a decent pace with no stop, so I'm as nervous as usual.

>>28507620
This sounds plausible. Ember was cool. Although I'd say Gabby counts too, seen her a ton around the board after that episode in the form of reaction images.

>>28507620
I'd say the problem is that there is the biggest change this season, Starlight Glimmer, is being handled about as well as Twilicorn was in S4. Namely, she isn't handled well at all.

No I'm not one of the Vocal Minority fags who shitpost about Glimmer, but it's true that she's been handled very badly, coming as a Glimfag. The fact rhat she seems so ditatched from the show by never appearing in any of the crowd scenes and more or less being relegated to her episodes is kind of the problem Twilicorn had. The premiere and Finale only focused on Twilicorn while every other ep barely recognized it. To the point that it even made the plot seem retarded in some episodes (Like Rarity takes Manehattan).

Also doesn't help that Applejack's 'Day' off was literally the single worst episode in the show's entire run. So it may overshadow any other potential top tier episodes, kinda like how S3 was overshadowed by the Opener, SAYS, and MMC and any potential gems are usually forgotten. I think most people have actually never watched the episode where Spike baby sits the m6's pets because most people gave up at that point

>>28510415
I agree that Starlight is being pushed to the side and kept from interacting with the world beyond her own episodes, but I do not see the correlation with opinion of the season overall. If anything, I see your reasoning as arguing that Starlight Glimmer is having little to no impact on the season because she's practically not in it at all. I almost forget that she's a character at times so when I reflect on season six, Starlight is usually an after thought.

Unless the point you're making is that she's misused potential. In that case, none of what I wrote up to this point applies.

>>28510415
>>28511544
I think that might have been part of the point of Every Little Thing She does, acknowledging that I mean and trying at least somewhat to rectify the issue. I mean, Twilight straight up says that Starlight hadn't done any friendship lessons since the Trixie incident and that just sort of implies that she was being a shut in for that whole period because of the anxiety she had.

It sounds legitimate to me and even if it's a cop out I would argue that it's a well crafted cop out. It makes sense considering her currently established character, and the time that she spent out of focus was time that other characters could spend in focus.

I mean, I totally get it when people say she could have been in focus a bit more in this season, but I also think that if she was too heavily focused it would be just as bad if not worse than her not being there at all.

good stuff

Additionally, universities use a different scale, 0 to 5, where 0 is failed and 5 is perfect.
