Its a shockingly well written and good show. Much better than it sounds.
Check it out my two fave eps:

Oh, I'm just making the one thread. And we've mostly just invaded imageboards. We're only now moving onto the regular imageboards.

Picklechan. While cute, she seems like a bit of a bitch.
IIRC, the cartoon was made by the same people who did Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, so it's not surprising that it's well-written.

That's true. However, I've never seen that show. Also, Lauren Faust (who is the director) is the wife of the guy behind PowerPuff Girls. A show I loved.
I love this show. I feel like it's healing all the damage the internet has done to me.
Join us. Become a bronie. I guarantee you'll love it.
I already tried to get Eternal to watch. He only saw the first episode.
Fosters is okay. I really liked the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
I'm looking forward to watching this later with Marlena- she'll love it.
Blank post?
youre going about it the wrong way, youre suppopsed to show them this clip, and nothing else

I like the fan vids that replace the audio with something else:
I also have found example of "weirdest boner":
Rarity whining. Sexy. Her whole voice is awesome.
Wired has an article on the "Bronies".

Hub also released a promo which is a cover of Katy Perry's "California Gurls"

Every clip I see of this show is unmitigated awesome.
I should watch it.

More like fapping to voice actors.
Ok, I watched the entire thing.
And my thoughts on not being able to see any more episodes until sometime this fall?
Damn good series and well on the way to being one of my favorite series ever (of any genre). It's....
immersive. The world is interesting and the characters believable. The animation, the writing, the voice acting, all top notch.
Not perfect (nothing ever is), but damn. I shouldn't of held off watching this.

Oh my god THE LIGHT THE LIGHT
Bump for awesome music.
The show itself has some damn good background music... like this one:
As for fan made stuff... the voices sound off for the first ~2 minutes here due to slowing them down, but otherwise quite good:
And here's some remixes I like (though honestly I can't tell what they're remixes
of by just listening to them):
Unfortunately there's some sturgeon's law going on here. The vast majority of fan made music I can find are crappy europop and techno.
Anyone else find anything good?
Well, the upcoming fan fighting game Fighting Is Magic will have an original soundtrack. Done by "Derpy Hooves" and "RainbowCrash88".
The same people behind that have some other fan songs, but I'm not sure if they will be used in the game. Luna's Theme has "epic boss music" written all over it.
He also did "Twilight's Sonata"
Applejack's stage theme is well done, but something about it has been bugging me. Think I finally figured it out.
From this (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/06/interview-will-anderson-friendship-is.html) interview:
Quote6. Friendship is Magic sports quite a modern soundtrack in several ways. Rainbow Dash's signature instrument is the electric guitar. Synths and electronic beats accompany several side characters, such as the DJ pony and Photo Finish. Is this direction in the music part of the overall "modernization" of the show in updating the My Little Pony franchise as a whole, or do you simply employ instruments and musical styles that you feel are appropriate to the scene or characters on-screen at the time? Any commentary you'd like to share on the more modern music you've composed for FiM?
To some degree it is unplanned. I mean really, what else would one do for Photo Finish but German Progressive House? I just go for what is right for the scene or character - and I try to keep it cohesive. That said, Lauren always wanted to find a signature sound or instrument for every character and so that is always on my mind.
The electric guitar parts just don't fit, imo. I DO love the banjos, but once the heavy rock kicks in it sounds more fitting for rainbow dash than applejack.
The other songs aren't my cup 'o tea, but pretty good in their own right.

Discord is awesome.
He made me hella mad.

Traitor Dash
fuck yeah DISCORD!
Isn't the fighting game being made by the same people behind Melty Blood?
If so, it's gonna be awesome.
No, the fighting game's being made by regular ol' fans.
Well, except that they're jerks. Supposedly, anyway; I've talked to two people who had strong opinions about them, but haven't met them myself.
So apparently Luna became a sith lord. (http://i.imgur.com/FW1qV.jpg)
High probability of being a legit screenshot, btw.
Yes, Luna seems to be returning. Kind of a Halloween episode.
For the season premiere, I thought the first episode was really strong. Second was a bit weak, especially the end. But seeing pissed off Twilight was wroth it.
It was just too short. They should've made a movie instead. Then they could've fleshed out the scene with the letters and use something other than fix-everything magic for the others.
Still, gotta love Discord.
Most of you don't care, but I'm sort of panicing right now. (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/11/more-season-three-information.html#comments)
Gist of it is this: 1/3 of the main writers left the show. "It was kind of ugly." Season 3 only has half a season planned.
Writing on the wall says Hasbro's being retarded and treating this like it's the same garbage they spewed for generation 3.5. IE, just an advertisement, no one will really care if we just make enough episodes for syndication. Oh, and stuck more toys in there. Best case scenario is the series is continued and limps on for a few more seasons, maybe or maybe not doing justice to the original creator's vision. Worst is it ends somewhere around this time next year.
It should also be noted that everything Equestria Daily has actually put up and tagged as a rumor has ultimately turned out NOT to be a rumor. See: Sith Lord Luna I posted up the page.
Oh, and for any pony haters that might be rejoicing: if this goes down, FiM's fanbase is likely to turn it into a zombie franchise like Sonic's (heaps of fanmade content with crappy official content; everyone expects direct to DVD movies of FIM, but without the original writers...). You won't escape the pony memes for quite some time. Just now, you'll be dealing with rabid and disillusioned fans, as opposed to rabid and optimistic fans. That's not a step up.
Does this mean we'll see the MLP:FIM equivalent of Sonichu some day?
I'm pretty sure there are already more disturbing things than that made.
As a regular googler of the phrase "Rule 34" mixed with whatever is currently on my mind, I assure you there is. A lot of it.

Seriously. Just watch it.
But yes, this is actually depressing news. I gave this show the benefit of the brony and sat and watched it about a week ago. The first... probably 8 episodes at least are kinda the typical bleh you'd expect from this genre, some funny bits but otherwise typical, but thankfully only the first 2 (maybe 3) are needed continuity-wise since its mostly episodic. The last half of Season 1 and what I've seen of Season 2 so far (Episodes 1-4) are fairly strong and entertaining, honestly, and when I was done I actually wanted to watch more instead of just watching it to see what the hype was about. So honestly, Hasbro being giant cunts and there being an ugly blowout in regards to the show depresses me, because it was a genuinely good show beyond the brony hype and fanon.
Hopefully the script for Season 2 being already written ensures it'll stay strong, even if I know to expect diminishing returns on Season 3 onward from the sounds of it. Sucks, honestly.
Heh... Ponies...
I can't wait for Bleedman (http://sugar.snafu-comics.com/) to get around to them, because his Grim Tales (http://grim.snafu-comics.com/) and Power Puff Girls (http://ppg.snafu-comics.com/) comics are awesome! ^_^
You will never be able to explain this song to any normal person ever.
I'm not even sure *I* understand it.
You've got a song from an abridged series of a internet sensation cartoon mixed with an ancient meme from a shoe commercial and looney toons crossover movie from the early 90s.

Gotta agree. Though "best song of the season" isn't really saying all that much...
Still, better than Giggle at the Ghosties for "pinkie's theme." And that IS saying something.

This is the best fan-made pony video I've ever seen:

I was never a fan of Ren and Stimpy, and only tolerated shows like Rocko's Modern Life. Strikes me as similar humor. Not my thing at all.
More power to people who do like it, though~
@Pinkie Breaking the 4th wall:
Good video editing, and I'mma let you finish, but...
These three are the best PMVs of all time. Of all time.

Yes, new best song.

I've seen all of the first season. My son loves it, but some episodes are massively racist/anti-intellectual.
WASP privilege, ugh.
At least you respect it's feminist agenda.
Quote from: DaveSW on May 22, 2012, 10:53:28 pmanti-intellectual.
Don't worry.
Everyone hates Feelin' Pinkie Keen's moral. Well except the anti-intellectuals or people who twist it into something less stupid.
I don't buy any overt racism, though.
Implied racism? Sure, what with the apparent caste system. But no character ever brings up the differences between the 3 without some practical reason to do so; ie cheating at iron pony games.
No, I'm talking about the buffalo and zebra episodes. Non-white cultures are represented by non-pony animals. Why couldn't the buffalo episode just have two different groups of ponies? Why couldn't the zebra just be a creepy pony instead? When they make an episode where ponies represent a group of people that isn't white IRL, and the not-ponies represent a group of white people, I won't have a problem with it anymore.
It reminds me of the photo from 20ish years ago that says:
"Everyone deserves to be treated equally! It doesn't matter if you are black or yellow or brown or normal!"
Well, coat colors couldn't represent race since ponies are every color of the rainbow.
The "other races" like zebras, buffalo, griffons, dragons, and later donkeys and mules are treated pretty much equally in Equestrian society, except when there's an aesop to deliver (like with Zecora's episode). There might be a point to be made about the buffalo being a stereotype rather than representing any real native american culture, but beyond that I honestly see zero problem.
Your argument seems to be that ponies are "normal" and everyone else is "weird" but I don't see that. Ponies are simply the society that the story focuses on. It's set in a pony nation. Ask a zebra what's "normal" and they'll say zebras. Remember, MLP is a fantasy setting; different species will be functionally treated as different races/cultures, just like elves/dwarves/etc are treated in other fantasy settings.
Don't equate "different" and "bad". That reeks of positive discrimination.
I really don't want to argue about this with you. You win.
Heh, I really don't care about "winning" so if you've got opinions feel free to share 'em. You won't offend me, and nothing I say is intended as a personal attack, so don't worry about feelings being hurt or anything.
I also love nitpicking this show to pieces so don't worry about "reading into it too deeply" or anything like that. I'm very guilty of that myself.
