Do you like anime?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, loved it since I was a kid.
As most hipster "old-taku" like me would say; I liked it before it was cool.

Hey! I don't know how much you follow MLP stuff now, but I figured you'd like to hear about this. They are going to introduce actual Kirin in an upcoming episode!

I've only heard rumors. Haven't seen any real evidence. I am curious.
Kirin are Japanese versions of the creatures, so I wonder how much research the writers and artists have done to create the race? We will have to see if it does become reality and how it will be received.

They played a song from the episode at Bronycon.

The song was cute, and the creature design...Interesting. The "Kirin" looks like it has a single branched horn, and I think a patch of scales on her back? I see face scales (I think) similar to my designs, and her mane wraps around her neck like my Earth Qilin. Having them explode into flames when angry...a little odd. Culturally, Qilin/Kirin/Gilin/Ky Lan generally are not really associated with fire and rage. They are tranquil, gentle, and more associated to wind and wisdom.
I looked up a Synapse on the upcoming episodes, and I'm already a little disappointed by its description: "Fluttershy and Applejack journey to the edge of the map on a Friendship Quest to help a group of ponies named Kirin." Just the fact they are classified as a type of pony bothers me some.
Their leader, aside from being "bigger", has nothing unique about her design to set her apart from the others. When the episode airs, I will see how things play out.

They may technically be called a type of pony, but they don't have cutie marks. Which to me suggests that are ponies in name only just because they kinda look like them.
The fire thing is mentioned in a few of the sources that I've read on them. Kind of like a defense mechanism. But I'm not sure how many cultures that have a kirin/qilin like creature have this in older stories. It might be an evolution of the legends, like how unicorns were originally more like rhinos.
And to be fair, MLP has taken quite a few creative liberties with mythical creatures before. Like the bugbear and the arimaspi. Heck, even the sphinx had a pony face.
I'm just glad they didn't make them be hybrids of pony and dragon. I mean, that's what the longma is. So I'm looking forward to the episode.
