So. I want to make MLP accesible to anyone. I've been developing a "watch order" because, like many kids shows, it is occasionally a offender that will have episodes that contribute nothing to any other episodes. Of course, the reccomended order is "begin at the beginning, and go on till you you come to the end: then stop" but i get that many people simply don't have the time. *cough* @Ascended Grubberfly *cough*

So, the one i've been concocting is customizable. I'll have lists of the episodes that further a certain characters arc; I'll have a list for the epic of Twilight Sparkle and whatnot; I'll have a Cutie Mark Crusaders one, and this one. Equestria and its Royal Sisters.

For what is Equestria without Celestia and Luna? (Yes, I know. SHHH, if they need this, they don't). This will include all the episodes on the Elements of Harmony, major worldbuilding episodes (crystal ampire, changelings, etc), any episodes that firther the sister's (admittedly hard to spot) arc, and episodes on the history and culture of equestria (hearth's waming, nightmare night, etc).

I want to get this posted soon, but this WIL be subject to edits. And I would love help, you can comment or PM anything and I'll fix it. I don't need to carry this on my own- my goal is to find more of you.

Anyway, withiut further Ado, beginning:

Equestria and its Royal Sisters

• Friendship is Magic

Well, of course. It's the first episode, a two parter, and obviously VERY important. As it's part of the first 4 seasons, it's available on Netflix, or here on Youtube.

And a companion to this, noncanonical technically, but faithful to the show and will really help you understand the sister's relationship: 

Lullaby for a Princess

This probably can be watched before FiM. It goes into the sister's backstory and the banishment and whatnot, and is nothing more than is narrated in the first couple minutes of FiM. Also, it's really, really good. I love it. Brony music is awesome.

• Winter Wrap Up

A Equestria Culture episode. Also helps with the worldbulding on how weather and the season work in Equestria.

• Over a Barrel

Culture? I think? This is prob optional.

• The Return of Harmony

VERY IMPORTANT. A Harmony episode, of course.

• Luna Eclipsed

We finally get to know Luna! And get Equestria Culture while we're at it!

• Hearth's Warming Eve

DEFINITELY a very important Culture episode, as well as World building and History, as the Mane Six put on a play of the founding of Equestria.

• Family Appreciation Day

This.. is actually Ponyville History. It's primarily a Cutie Mark Crusaders episode, though, and you'll probably need that backstory. IDK, it might be optional.

•  A Royal Canterlot Wedding

This is where you start to see a shift in the show. We get major worldbuilding, some fairly good songs, a great plotline, and you may see some subtle improvements to the animation style (you can see more the next episode). A great two-part episode.

I'll be live editing in as I go. This remains unfinished. You'll want to wait on using my watch order at least until I post the Character Arcs list.

i want to get this posted but am out of time will finish through edits tomorrow bye AH-
