Talk:School Raze - Part 1/@comment-4531340-20181017133208

I'll save most of my thoughts for Part 2's article, but I wanted to make a couple observations that pertain specifically to this part.

My goodness, I think this had the best animation the series has featured yet - from that scene right after the theme song with the non-winged students (and Starlight) falling from the sky (which, btw, is such an intense scene, and really gets this feeling like a finale), to that rotating panoramic shot, the animators were noticeably on their game for this episode. Heck, even the palette seemed lovely - I think it's because there were so many night shots. Oh, and of course the lighting and expressions.

Also, I liked how many scenes there were in this episode without background music (off the top of my head, there's the Young Six in the library and the Mane Six arriving at the gates of Tartarus, but I'm pretty sure there are others). It reminds me of the movie in that regard.
