This list is badly cherry-picked. The dialog is completely reworked in the dubbed versions, why pick on a single word or phrase when all of it is different? –Throwy 09:09, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell, except for the one instance of mentioning the change in number of ball bounces Rainbow Dash performs in Dragonshy, it only explicitly mentions scenes (and lines that were in those scenes) which were cut out compared to the English original.-- This is Jonny Manz, signing off! 09:15, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * "The title is different." "This name is different." "This bit of dialogue is different." It's no use to go over them one by one when everything is different. –Throwy 09:25, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Internationalizations aren't going to change things drastically in most cases. This list is for major changes, omissions, additions, etc. that can change the meaning. If you think changing a number isn't important enough, maybe we should discuss removing it. Only problem is it's kind of hard to describe what counts as a big enough change to be included. Other problem is that we need data on versions other than Japanese, which would also help in seeing the trends that would help with the description. ~Bobogoobo (talk) 09:51, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

Based on what I've seen, the scene where Gilda gets shocked by Pinkie Pie's joy buzzer in Griffon the Brush Off seems to have been edited for the Japanese version (mainly slowed down, possibly dimmed a little) in order to remove some of the flashiness present in the original (this sort of edit wouldn't be unique to FiM; other foreign movies/TV shows have this same edit applied to them when airing on Japanese TV, this Wikipedia article gives what the regulations are, and this article gives some examples, under the "Effects on the animation industry" section). In addition, the scene where Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash shock each other seems to also have been slowed down, if not also dimmed. I only hesitate to add this to the list because I couldn't quite watch the versions side-by-side (whenever I had VLC open to play the original, my browser, and the video on Dailymotion by extension, would slow down even farther). -- This is Jonny Manz, signing off! 00:13, May 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll go back and look at Japanese "Griffon the Brush Off" more closely; I skimmed it at best. ImperfectXIII (talk) 00:54, May 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yup, you're right. Both sequences are slower in the Japanese broadcast. There's also been a bit of dimming done too, primarily in the second buzzer scene. Never would've caught this live. ImperfectXIII (talk) 03:56, May 23, 2013 (UTC)
