Is this a reference to a specific anime or something?

2016 is now here!

@odiz  
that looks extended. is that extended?

well….in the mean time….
 

Um… I guess Flitter straightened her eyelashes and Cloudchaser forgot her eyeshadow?

Technically it wasn’t even in the pony universe - it was in a pocket sub-universe XP

@Background Pony #14BF  
OH for Celestia’s sake, I have to deal with this doom and gloom outside of equestria daily. Dude, if you hate ponies now, just leave. :/
 
If it’s not getting any better for you then do your self a favor and go do something else. I for one have loved every episode to date except maybe the power ponies which was completely left field for me with respect to the pony universe. XD

@Background Pony #14BF  
You’re welcome to leave at any time

Seriously, though, do you ever, like, walk into, I dunno, like a bee convention or something, and then say; “Man, I really wish every bee in the world died a long time ago,” as soon as you find yourself surrounded by people who love bees?
 
How do you think people will feel when you say this to them?
 
Allow Limestone Pie (may I note, a wonderful character from the latest season) to illustrate how it makes the bee-lovers feel:
 

 
(I’d hire her for security at a con…)

I wish it did though… this show has only gone down the drain in my opinion.

‘Iron Man 3’ Post Credits Scene: Tony Stark Will Return

@neo4812  
The comments section will last forever, my beloved subject…  

@Background Pony #14BF  
it’s the internet dude. nothing really dies

Why won’t this die already!?

@Background Pony #20BE  
It’s headed by the original creator himself.
 
Rest easy, Jack is back.

Has the 2016 date been confirmed? Not that I doubt the next season will start sometime then, but I haven’t heard anything beyond the reports that it’s currently being worked on.
 
@soundtea: “new Samurai Jack”  
I don’t think any announcement has ever given me as much hope and anxiety simultaneously as that one.
 
@neo4812  
Probably a joke based off the “Ponies Will Return!” tagline on the image.

C ya 2 m8.

2016, December 31th

@MidS  
wait really? why?

@MetaKnight145  
Imagining what G5 will be like is honestly one of my favorite things to do.

Hopefully with Starlight Glimmer being a minor character.

But I won’t.

They’re back in 2016? That’s less than a month away!

anyone one wants to do this one? i’m drawing a blank on how to proceed
 

You do realize that pone is a franchise owned by a corporation, right?  
There will be another pone.  
With how much money G4 pulled in I really doubt they’ll half ass G5 like they did G3.
