The year 2016 is upon us, once again changing the big answer from "next year" to "this year". The seeming perpetuity of Filly Funtasia development cycle gets shorter and shorter, with more and more nods towards its end from the official sources. One of such nods is the fifth promotional video that was released October last year.

Over two minutes in length, this promo is the longest Filly Funtasia promo released so far, even longer than the very first one (1 minute and 40 seconds). Even if only the original, never before seen content of promo 5 is considered, the promo still is the longest pack of new material there is (although now slightly below two minutes long). Now, if the 18 seconds cut of the promo has managed to get its own article, then its 600%+ extended version deserves one too.

BRB Internacional to be at MIPTV 2016 (April 4-7)

The annual TV and digital content event in Cannes, France is once again fast approaching. Much like its Autumn cousin MIPCOM, MIPTV offers many professionals a chance to gather and make deals, as well as showcase various media products. BRB Internacional has been traditionally attending this event with its own products, one of which is, in fact, Filly Funtasia.

This year is no exception, as BRB Internacional is confirmed to attend MIPTV 2016, on 4-7 of April. One of the reasons to draw attention to this event is that usually it is accompanied by a new teaser trailer for Filly Funtasia - although last year's MIPTV lacked it, MIPTV 2014 brought the so-called promo 3, while MIPCOM 2015 got promo 5. Let's see if this time we'll get another batch of new footage to gawk at!

More Filly Funtasia Episode Titles Revealed

Looks like we have the names of three more Filly Funtasia episodes! How? Well, long-time reader Tom S. Fox noticed that the writers of the first four episodes had been added to the Filly Funtasia IMDb page and sent a few emails to the writers to confirm if the information added was accurate. Turns out that it was, and that we got even more information! Screenshots of the emails can be found below the break.

Filly Funtasia Synopsis

Promo 5 has been out for over two months. The original Youtube upload of this promo by Filly World had a lot of restrictions: comments were hidden, the description had no information, and even the embedding option was turned off, allegedly forcing some people to reupload the video for their own reasons.

And while the majority of these decisions are still in place, the video now has a large description which contains some rather valuable information. Which appears to be the synopsis for the beginning movie of Filly Funtasia. Or for its pilot episode. Or maybe for something else!

Venture past the break to see the full copy of the description, and feel free to speculate and/or anticipate.

Filly Funtasia Wishes You Happy Holidays

It's been two months since the last major update on Filly Funtasia, and with the holidays approaching, the crew have decided to share a short holiday video:

Its contents seem to be clips from Filly Funtasia itself, put under a graphics filter and surrounded with snowflakes, and it once again revolves around the Blue Rainbow crystal. The episode has now been featured in the majority of the promotional videos released so far.

However, that's not all, as the Filly World keeps the party going by releasing another holiday video with Filly Stars:

The most notable part of this video is its description:

The Funtasia TV series is based within the grounds of the Academy; however, the movie starts with the arrival of a mysterious stranger to the school that begins an amazing adventure leading Rose and her friends beyond the walls of Funtasia and through all of the Filly Kingdoms.

Is the use of the world "movie" a translation mistake, or a hint at something other than the TV series? Will we actually see all Filly Kingdoms, including the, well, Filly Kingdom itself, where Prince Cedric hails from? It will become clear eventually.

~with thanks to Greyfeather for noticing these two videos and sharing them.

Filly Funtasia Lead Modeler Interview

More details of Filly Funtasia development break the surface of concealment. The long story of this production is very hard to tell without filling the holes of the unknown with assumptions - assumptions that sometimes have little to do with the truth. Thankfully, once in a while we get the chance to take a sneak peek and gather bits of information, however small they might be. And sometimes the members of the crew are happy to tell us these bits themselves, without unnecessary difficulties.

This week, Cheng Ye, Lead Modeler for Filly Funtasia who worked for Black Dragon, kindly addressed some professional questions that were asked by RaichuWizDom - also known as Wise Cracker.

Funtasia Daily Two Year Anniversary

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Has it really been two years? It might not feel like it, but it sure has! Two years ago on this day, Funtasia Daily first opened up, with a mission to report on everything related to that cartoon show which was due to launch in about half a year. After two years, we’ve seen a few more trailers, found out some more about the world of Funtasia, and seen the launch of a few more Filly toylines - and the show is still not out, but is due to launch next year as always.
