This episode focuses on the six students instead of the Mane 6. I admit that I was hoping this would have more action in it. I thought it would be about them fighting the tree roots. You know, the title? Anyway, this was still a great episode. It starts off with the six students hearing in a dream that they need to help the Tree of Harmony, only for them to find out it's been destroyed.
They figure it's their job to make a memorial to it and that's what the message in their dream said. There's this very sad scene where all of their plans bump into each other and make a mess. You feel so bad when they argue. Yona is still the best of them and not just because she's the funniest, but because she tries to keep peace. She's also really the only one whose name I can remember. Animation's as great as ever. ***1/2
