My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

ROFL

It was under EEEEEE~!

I think it's hilarious how all the guys seem to be work horses though.

Aaah, describing the 21st Century so well ...

[Sniper King]

I watched the first episode. >.>
First I was like this for a long while:


Then I was like this:

[Dervish]

Ha ha, I remember watching the original My Little Pony show all the time when I was a kid. It was good, even used to have a huge collection of the toys (loved the seaponies in particular, I remember many a fine bathtub adventure with those little things). Saw MLP Tales as well, but never got into that one.

Anyway, in the spirit of nostalgia I decided to check out the first episode of this latest MLP installment after seeing the thread and to my surprise, it's really quite entertaining. Very earnest and sweet, with a likable cast of characters and lighthearted humor. It's a very beautifully animated show as well, smooth and colorful, with great voice acting. It does justice to the franchise and, well, it's just plain fun. ^^

I can't quite bring myself to rock an MLP avatar, however. A line must be drawn somewhere.

. . . . . . but can we kill Pinkie Pie, please? Annoying annoying annoying.

Aww but she's our little Adderall pony! ♥

Also partial to Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and of course Twilight Sparkle has the best personality of the bunch. But I also like Rarity because she's so fabulous, and Applejack because

ok, know what?

fuck it, I like em all.

awyeah

[Sakonosolo]

I feel a disturbance in the force.

[Satsuki]

Dervish, you just won points for having a Mother Gothel avatar.

Yeah, they're all Clydesdales or Belgians. XD

The girls are taking over. Get out your nail polish now.

and the wax

And now I finally get to find out where all these pony avatars on LJ/Facebook/forums have come from.

me too!

I randomly found the show while re-watching the old episodes since I was a MLP fanatic when a kid.

squeee

And the old nostalgia kicked into high gear when I saw fucking APPLEJACK. Easily my favorite character on the show. Hell, the introduction of the Apple family (Granny Smith!) was my favorite part of the first ep. Twilight, eehhhh, she's okay as a protag, but I like Applejack and Rarity best.

squeeeeee nostalgia.

I swear to God, this show is stalking me. Wherever I go on the net, it's EVERYWHERE!

Truth is, I've tried watching the first episode on Youtube a few times now; every time I try, the stupid thing winds up freezing my web browser and makes it impossible for my net to work for awhile. I took it as an omen of evil, and left it be.

And now here we are, on AP Forums' own MLP thread.

...

Alright Youtube, let's try this one more time. *goes off to (try to) watch*

you should come over to my place! we can watch it together! GIRLS'S NIGHT!

I know, right? One flaw of the old series; except for that ONE episode, there were no boy ponies. (and I'm talking original MLP, not My Little Pony Tales).

squeee some more.

The girls are taking over. Get out your nail polish now.

I got some barrettes here. want me to braid your hair satsuki?

i think i better go watch this show now.

[ChesCa]

*Looks at all the people posting*
Okay, I'll be willing to put my manhood on the line and give this show a chance if and ONLY if this new series has someone like Buttercup from Toy Story 3.
Don't know why, I just liked that guy when I saw the movie.

[Big_Bad_Lith]

This show has great production values, which is a nice thing to see in children's cartoons.

I've watched a few episodes, and the one where the zebra comes to town is the best. Mostly because the orange and pink one gets a deep voice, and it makes me crack up something fierce.

THAT is the best thing I've seen until now. Granted, I only watched 10 episodes, but damn, that will be hard to top.

[Sai-chan]

You know what? Might as well give this a try.

Off to YouTube!

[vyse&homunculus]

Usually when a show is merchandise driven, that ruins it. It's funny since one of the reasons why the animation team has so much freedom with it is precisely BECAUSE this show is merchandise driven, making the show good. It's like the exception to that rule.

We're usually an ep behind since we wait for the eps to show up un-watermarked on one of the streaming sites.

Anyway, obligatory images to help those still questioning their manliness for watching this show.

Spoiler:

I often ponder just how many people got into this show from all the image macros floating about the internet.

[taboo]

im watching the first ep now

this show is so silly

also, how did i know Tara Strong would be the voice of the main character

[KzTxL7]

Rarity is like my God.

[trappedolphin]

I... I love Pinkie Pie...

--- Update From New Post Merge ---

On Episode 4 now. I really like the voice-acting.

[Chrissie]

Pinkie Pie is awesome~

[Mokenda_mint]

I've seen the show on the tv listings but never watched it yet, which is a shame since I was a huge MLP fan when I was a kid :<
Obviously it's time for me to kick my bro off the tv with the channel and watch it
