Anyone else watching this???
It's actually a hell of a lot better than the old shows, and made by someone who had a good amount of work in Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home. I watched the first episode and it definitely wasn't terrible. Probably the best girl-aimed cartoon out there now.

| Quote: | | The series stars a unicorn pony named Twilight Sparkle, who has been known to be a pupil of the world's ruler Princess Celestia. Seeing the young pony buried in books, the princess gives her the task of making friends, sending her, and a young dragon named Spike, to Ponyville. There, they meet some interesting ponies, including tomboyish Rainbow Dash, glamorous Rarity, hard-working Applejack, timid Fluttershy, and hyperactive Pinkie Pie. Together, they explore the ins and outs of the town, solve various problems, and make even more friends. Every day is a lesson for Twilight, but none as important as the magic of friendship. |

No, and why would I?

So it's gone from abysmal and completely outside of my demographic to slightly less abysmal and outside of my demographic?

There's a real story this time?
Course, I only watched the first episode, and mainly because I was led there by a podcast, but w/e

This show.
This show.
... Is... Actually... Good.
| Quote: | Despite the extremely girly name, saturation of pinks in the color scheme, and legacy attachments to the 80's, this cartoon is GOOD. Sit down, and I'll tell you why.
Okay, why should I watch this?
It's directed, produced, and overseen by Lauren Faust, wife of Craig McCracken. You might know her better from work such as The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. This is a woman who A. knows what she's doing, and B. doesn't go for the old "let's throw tea parties and defeat villains by sharing" ********.
And this shows though, STRONGLY, in Friendship is Magic. It feels much more like the Powerpuff Girls than any previous MLP cartoons-- the writing is clever and snappy, the humor is surprisingly witty, the voice acting is top-notch, the characters are distinct and likable, and in every episode there’s at least one joke or reference which was clearly put in more for the adults watching than the kids.
Oh, and the art is damned good too. |
It's weird. It is the one thing that really shouldn't be all that, and yet it comes out to be... Grand. It's still a kids show, mind you, but it's a kids show in the same sense the Powerpuff girls and such were kids shows.
People say the first two episodes aren't the greatest thing, but then on it gets pretty good.
Also; This.
I haven't sat myself down onto the youtubes (Creators are okay with it being on the internet.) to watch it myself, but... It's... It's got a oddly strong following. Some good **** here.

I thought Chowder and Flapjack were good shows(Ben 10 maybe just the 1st series)

Weakling.
Also, I actually really like the first two episodes because they were pretty intense. The rest of the show is good but I enjoyed the Sentai-esque dynamic.
And anyone who does not at least give those episodes a chance is missing out on some quality cartoons here.

SA has sadly banned all future MLP threads. 
They had some pretty funny gifs on there. |
