I'm skipping rating explanations for 3s on these.
Make The Shake Up
Rating: 3 3 3
Mic quality seems lower, animation is too snappy, and there are stupid sound effects. Rarity's making Applejack wear makeup against her will. That's it. Takes place during first Equestria Girls movie.
A Photo Booth Story
Rating: 3 3 3
The German's taking everyone's photo at the Fall Formal from the first Equestria Girls. They do a bunch of gimmicky photo crap and Sonic Rainboom is referenced at the end with Rarity's butterfly wings getting burned by a light and Rainbow Dash having to save her. Short has same overly snappy animation and annoying sound effects as first.
Raise This Roof
Rating: 3 3 3
Also during the Fall Formal and has same sound effect annoyances along with backgrounds that are very static. Applejack with Apple Bloom and Rainbow Dash with Scootaloo have a dance competition. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo don't speak at all so I guess they couldn't bother paying their VAs for this short.
Steps Of Pep
Rating: 3 3 3
Flutter cheer from Sonic Rainboom but it's Pinkie instead of Rainbow Dash. Animation is too bouncy. We learn the Pony Tones with the same members from the pony show are a school choir group.
Mad Twience
Rating: 4 3 3
Frankenstein-esque music video of Twi and Spike making something we can't quite discern until the end. The lyrics and visuals kinda make it seem like Twi's making something relating to love for herself but it turns out to be a robot dog to be Spike's girlfriend since he's a muttcel. I also swear to god, one of the lyrics sound like she's saying "I think I'm gonna piss myself!". I also noticed in the visuals, the directory slashes on her computer are forward and at first I thought maybe she's a Linux user but then we see she has a Mac monitor.
4 EV because the song's decent. Sounds kinda juvenile though.
Monday Blues
Rating: 4 3 4
Music video of Sunset and Twi going to school in stormy weather and everything keeps fucking up. We also see where Sunset lives. We then see Sunset go to the cafe before school. Is this a thing kids actually do before school? Sunset also trespasses on someone's yard and climbs a fence, trespassing on someone else's yard. When Twi and Sunset arrive at school, Rarity's crying, Flutters has been assaulted, and Pinkie is having a depressive episode. Rainbow Dash then runs into a locker at terminal velocity and dies again.
What is going on with this puddle?
Cutie pie sighting.
Song's fine so 4 EV and 4 DV for seeing where Sunset lives.
Pet Project
Rating: 3 3 3
Equestria Girls version of May The Best Pet Win! but Sunset wants a pet. She picks a lizard. Also the bloom and saturation are too high.
Subs Rock
Rating: 3 3 4
I know what you're expecting me to make a joke on and no, I am not well-versed in sub sandwiches so I have nothing.
Principal Celestia is a substitute for the day but she keeps getting called or distracted to do other administrative tasks. She also states she used to be a teacher herself. I don't know if it's just my experience but why are principals always incompetent women and vice principals hardass men that abuse children?
4 DV because we learn Celestia used to be a teacher.
Shake Things Up!
Rating: 4 3 4
Music video of Applejack wage cucking.
Song's fine so 4 EV and we learn Applejack's job so 4 DV.
The Art Of Friendship
Rating: 3 3 3
Sunset and Pinkie are in art class and Pinkie's being a retard. I remember having to take an art class for a quarter when I was 12. I fucking hated that class. Although I did notice one of the actual art students was a brony because I saw a drawing of a male orange pony with either a paint brush or pencil cutie mark. Only cool thing from that class was a bowl-cup thing I made that has my name carved into it. I ended up punching a kid on the last day of that class before we went to it and he cried to the teacher about it so I didn't get my bowl-cup until the end of the school year when one of my associates had to take the class that quarter and somehow the teacher knew he was one of my buddies so she had him give my bowl-cup to me like two days before the school year ended. Actually, now that I think about it, the only reason she could've known the bowl-cup was mine was because she asked me about the logo and name on my art book.
Bowl-cup and art book in question along with some spiral thing I apparently made I think looks cool. The WA monogram and SY stand for Wither Alliance and Sapphire Yellow. They were pretty much the proto-Moxistan.
Anyways, Sunset tells Pinkie to just paint whatever makes her happy or something. Ponies make me happy. Equestria Girls reminds me of bad memories frequently.
The Canterlot Movie Club
Rating: 4 3 4
The CMC are the Canterlot Movie Club in Equestria Girls. They're about to go see the new Daring Do movie for the sixth time. This suggests this takes place a little after Mirror Magic. Then Pinkie appears to tell them Gummy's missing and the rest of the short is the CMC looking for him. They find him in a claw machine. I remember I was once given $20 to fuck around in an arcade and spent all of it trying to get a Rarity plushie from a claw machine. I did not get it.
Apparently I found it entertaining enough for 4 EV. 4 DV for learning about the CMC in Equestria Girls.
Leaping Off The Page
Rating: 3 3 3
It's just Rainbow Dash imagining herself in a Daring Do book as her friends try to get her attention for presumably the premiere of the Daring Do movie.
Me reading shitty fanfiction completely oblivious to the fact it's gonna turn into a BDSM clopfic 50,000 words in.
Get The Show On The Road
Rating: 4 3 3
The title card of this one has a bunch of backwards text that seems gibberish and I thought it could be a cipher but after looking at this short's Fandom Wiki comments, it's actually backwards English with vaguely abjad spelling and says "BATTLE OF THE BANDS FT. TRIXIE AND SUNSET SHIMMER THE DAZZLINGS WITH SPECIAL GUESTS SIRENS DJ-PON3 FT. OCTAVIA MELODY 2 @ HASBRO". Kinda sad I didn't notice this considering Moxi is a right-to-left abjad for English. Title card's text is not phonetic and has inconsistent spelling so that's my excuse.
Anyways, short's about how the Rainbooms need a tour bus which Applejack's supposed to deliver to them. Turns out the bus is a run-down piece of shit so they repair it in a music video. Trixie, the Dazzlings, Vinyl, and Octavia do not appear.
Song's fine so 4 EV.
Epic Fails
Rating: 2 3 4
Compilation of the girls failing at stuff and it's cringe. Clearly, this is trying to cash in on le heckin' funny epic fail crap.
It's stereotypical meme culture cringe so it only gets 2 EV. 4 DV only because we see where Rainbow Dash works for the first time I think.
Coinky-Dink World
Rating: 4 3 3
Music video of Pinkie wage cucking.
Music's fine so 4 EV.
Good Vibes
Rating: 4 4 4
Fuck you Flash Sentry. After Flash Sentry tosses a coin into a fountain probably wishing for girlfriend, there's a music video of a chain of people helping others. Derpy sighting:
4 EV 'cause the music's fine. 4 VB for the message to help people I guess. 4 DV because we see Twi, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Sunset's job.
