I admit to having some personal bias when talking about why I love this episode so much. I don't what to let any personal information go by, but this does remind me of the relationship I have with my own brother! Let's just leave it at that. The animation in this episode is absolutely gorgeous. We rarely see male ponies in the series, but we do manage to see one being featured quite prominently here. I admit to being surprised at how long this guy's legs are. He has a really long neck too. Zephyr Breeze is a ton of fun.
We finally get to see Fluttershy's parents! Roughly half of the Mane 6 have had their parents appear and people speculated on what they looked like. We had no idea she had a BROTHER as well! In fact, he's the main focus of this episode. Does this seem that Fluttershy's last name is Breeze? Well, Fluttershy's parents are in fact called Mr. and Mrs. Shy. Zephyr calls her "Flutter Butter" (where the title comes from). So I guess her first name is in fact Flutter. Why isn't she called Flutter Shy? Maybe we've just been hearing it wrong. Zephyr looks great showing off his facial hair. I don't know how a pony can have facial hair.
It's just a nice realistic touch to the design. It's cool to see someone genuinely flirt with one of the other characters, Rainbow Dash in this case. I'm not going to get into the argument of whether she's a lesbian or not. I saw Link Pony in the background at one point! That's undoubtedly him. Fluttershy really is quite firm in this episode. It's even better that it's her own brother she's with! ****
