It's really sad to hear that Amy Keating Rogers will be left the crew of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and will no longer writing anymore episodes for the show. So with her final episode of the series The Mane Attraction, let's just see if she pulled it off greatly for a final episode to conclude her library of installments she wrote...
I honestly have to say she pulled it off excellently, meaning that The Mane Attraction is not only one of my favorites of both Rogers and Season 5, but also part of my Top Ten Overall Favorites of the Show. To start off, the plot was just fantastic with one the best backstories of MLP episodes to date (if not the best) involving Applejack and her friend hanging with each other at a camp together, while also showing off one of my favorites songs of MLP:FIM. The writing, coupled with its voice acting has been done greatly with a superb script though the name Applejack gave Coloratura (Rara) sounds a bizarre to me.
Featuring great animation and eye-popping visuals of Coloratura's concert were just awesome for my eyes too so not much else to say about the animation other than its just spot on like every other episode. And what another great job for another episode delivering two messages in one episode and just one like with most others. Choosing between just one moral that was more worth of the episode I have to feel was more for me than the other though both were great has to be Applejack telling her friend of how the real perk of friendship is getting to see your friend being true to their self.
Although the character of Coloratura's manager Svengallop is a very hatable character and does nothing but get on my nerves what with his secretly demandingly and horrible attitude towards Pinkie Pie, the rest of the characters, including Countess Coloratura herself (thanks to Tony award-winning actress Luna Hall) were just incredible too and thanks to her wonderful personality and especially her strongly talented singing, which also makes her song at the very end a beauty that people would (and should) shed a tear for, Lena Hall truly shines in this episode. And the songs were just catchy and fantastic as well. So The Mane Attraction is definitely the textbook example of how to write an awesome final episode by a great writer like AKR, and for very good reasons, you'll surely be satisfied in end after watching it.
