Allright let's keep it clean people, I'm cutting and pasting the original OP by Redeye from the original thread(since the OP was so good). There's plenty of us who like Magic Ponies, deal with it. :frogc00l:

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a new cartoon from Hasbro, revolving around the--
...I'm leaving.
Get back here.
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" bullshit.
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.
I don?t believe you. A My Little Pony cartoon that doesn?t rot your teeth?
I know! But this thing is on FIRE. Despite a rather unfortunate timeslot it's found a wide and devoted audience already, and is quickly shedding the old albatross of girl's cartoons past. A good chunk of that audience, surprisingly, is also male, and in the 20-35 demographic--though most of those would probably never admit to watching it, at least not in public.
Well, tell me more, I guess. Maybe name some characters?
(http://i.imgur.com/B6Omy.png)
Twilight Sparkle: The de facto leader of our central cast. A unicorn who?s extremely book smart and good at magic, but is a bit new to this ?social life? thing. She?s been assigned by her boss, Princess Celestia, to study the ?magic of friendship? in Ponyville, which is the excuse for the plots-of-the-week and the Mork Calling Orson bits at the end of each episode.
(http://i.imgur.com/2uUyD.png)
Spike: Twilight?s assistant/friend/baby dragon/personal mail system. Though he?s supposed to be helping Twilight study magic, his job is mostly to provide snark. He?s also one of only two legacy characters in the series, thanks to Hasbro losing the licenses to the old ponies. The other one is...
(http://i.imgur.com/8TRuL.png)
Applejack: An earth pony who is proprietor and operator of Sweet Apple Acres, an orchard outside of town. Applejack is stubborn, blunt, and not much given to subtlety, but she?s also honest, reliable, and as faithful a friend as you could ask for.
(http://i.imgur.com/FfeGY.png)
Rainbow Dash: A pegasus pony who LOVES to fly--preferably fast, and flashy. Rainbow Dash is in charge of keeping Ponyville?s weather under control, and though she?s a bit proud and insensitive at times, she cares deeply for her friends, and would never leave them--except maybe in her dust.
(http://i.imgur.com/UEGPh.png)
Pinkie Pie: Pinkie Pie is an earth pony who is the living embodiment of a sugar rush. She loves to party, and celebration seems to follow her like a wake behind a ship. If she has an off button, it hasn?t been found yet--but though she can be a bit irritating, she?s always a joy to have around.
(http://i.imgur.com/F9vNI.png)
Rarity: Rarity is a unicorn who is all about the fashion. She runs a fashion shop of her own in Ponyville, and is quite the artiste. She?s somewhat posh and a bit of a perfectionist, which can lead to her clashing with the down-to-earth Applejack, but if her friends or town need her, Rarity always pulls through.
(http://i.imgur.com/LUQad.png)
Fluttershy: Fluttershy is a pegasus pony who is quite literally scared of her own shadow. She?s timid, quiet, and, well, shy, which makes her ideal for her job of working with animals, but despite her own fears she?s always willing to help out, providing that little bit of kindness wherever it?s needed.
Together they get into hi-jinx, laugh, cry, squabble, and save the world once or twice. Just like any other group of friends, huh?
Huh. All right, all right, I?ll give it a shot. You said this was on when?
The show airs on Fridays at 10:30 AM and 1:30 PM on the Hub, which is a basic satellite/digital cable channel which replaced Discovery Kids (channel listing finder below). I wasn't kidding when I said it had an unfortunate timeslot.
http://www.hubworld.com/channel-locator (http://www.hubworld.com/channel-locator)
There are twenty-six episodes lined up for the current season, twelve of which have aired, with a second season already on order.
Buuut, as many kids won?t be able to catch it on there and the Hub website takes down the episodes it puts up rather quickly, the creator has voiced unofficial approval for Youtube postings of the show (by linking to them from her DeviantArt).

So forget everything you knew, and give up your childish things--it?s time for some ponies!
I've been hearing all about it. Apparently it's actually a real good show despite being "girly".Give in to the temptation. Really, hit up that link to Hubworld in the OP and watch an episode. You can't go wrong with this one if you liked shows like The Powerpuff Girls.
...but I'm still resisting to...girly littly ponies...

Oh god no Letty is not helping with that avatar.THERE ARE MORE WHERE THEY CAME FROM
Remember that demographic chart of Pretty Cure, where it said the main viewers were elementary school girls and 20+ guys?Maybe they're on to something.
Yeah.
Well, now that I think about it, I guess I could use a good nostalgia bomb. If I have time over the weekend, I might check it out. But until then...

Denial - "I can't believe /co/ is into this bullshit"
Anger - "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE THIS SHOW IS FOR LITTLE GIRLS"
Bargaining - "Fine I'll give it a try, but I am NOT going to be kind with my critique."
Depression - "Oh god its actually not bad. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME."
Acceptance - "Fluttershy is my waifu :3 :3 :3

You have no concept how disappointed I was when I learned that was fake.Believe me, I have.
You have no concept how disappointed I was when I learned that was fake.Even if it's fake, it's totally in canon. Just like Batman being a Sailor Moon fan (which ISN'T fake! :o).
Just like Batman being a Sailor Moon fan (which ISN'T fake! :o).Tell me more.
Tell me more.
"In a JLA comic by Grant Morrison: Bruce Wayne is meeting with Clark Kent in Japan, and Clark introduces him to a young Japanese woman named Hino Rei. Bruce immediately recognizes "her" as the Martian Manhunter, both because of his body language, and, as he put it, "The name's a dead giveaway". Now think about it for a second, and wonder what Batman watches in his spare time... "...I wish I knew what issue that was. But yeah, Batman watches Sailor Moon!
...I wish I knew what issue that was. But yeah, Batman watches Sailor Moon!The Martian Manhunter even moreso, then. :V
The more I've been seeing this spammed everywhere, the less I've been wanting to watch it.
But only hipsters poo-poo a thing just because it's popular. I'll give it a shot.
I generally just find I CAN'T watch something after seeing it spammed everywhere. I won't say I hate it until I see it, but you get the point.This is why I didn't watch TTGL until two years after the hype. I can't do that, either. Give this thing a chance in a few months, maybe, then find out for yourself what you think.
Hence why I'll never finish watching Gurren Lagann...
Rainbow Dash:
You gotta wait until you can backlash against the backlash, you see...
Anyone else think of a certain song that was spammed around here thank to adult swim when they read this name? :VThere is a Rainbow Dash flash game.
This is why I didn't watch TTGL until two years after the hype.[/b]
Did you atleast enjoy TTGL!?!??!? :ohdear:I did, very much so! But I just couldn't bring myself to watch it because I knew I wouldn't be able to appreciate it on its own merits in the midst of all the hype. I just waited a little bit. :3
So, uh...yeah. Might just keep up with this if I find the time. Now if you don't mind, I'm off to hand in my dick because I apparently don't have a need for it any more. -_-If you need to hand in your masculinity to enjoy a quality work, you weren't doing it right to begin with. >_>
Hmm, I wonder what channel this is on around here...

Heh... talk today with a friend.
Me: "Dude, i watched My Little Pony"
Him:"SO gay :D"
Me: "And it was actually hilarious!"
Him: "Gay!"
I think I'll still watch :derp:
You should be watching this show with YouTube captioning on.Whenever I do that I end up completely ignoring the video while lol'ing.
Man, this reminds me how there was this one show with flying motorbikes in once and duels on them. I thought it was awesome.
Then my (was girlfriend at the times) little brother whos about 8 came to me told me its shit.
feels bad man
:V

Whenever I do that I end up completely ignoring the video while lol'ing.
I just tried to show my little brother a clip and he DENIED me! What a jerk. He doesn't have proper respect for ponies and poniecorns.
To be honest, I'm probably not going to watch this, but not for any negative reasons. Mostly because it's just a littleeee below my age-level.. But it's better than all those other little kid shows on recently, by far. What's the difference between PPG and Team Umi Zoomi? Yeah. Maybe I'll watch it with my little sister when she'll understand jusstt a few more words. I mean she's loved iCarly for a while now... But she's three... Hmm. Can you be too young for ponies and friendship?
Also, Rainbow Dash is my waifu.Rainbow Crash :smug:
Okay, what the... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THlvkIEFMqQ)The gift that keeps on giving.
"My Little Pony"'s going with a disastrous reputation from the old editions candy cartoon. Whenever you mention my little pony to regular folks, they look like going to puke.Yeah, I'm wondering which part of the title goes better in conversation ("My Little Pony" or "Friendship is Magic").
On the other hand when I mention "You know, it's made by the same person who made Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends" ALL of them immediately go "Huh?" and then "Then I'll give it a try"They're probably thinking Craig McCracken, though...
!! Like, lol.
They're probably thinking Craig McCracken, though...Lauren Faust is his wife and a writer for both Foster's and Powerpuff Girls, so there's that.
Okay, what the... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THlvkIEFMqQ)
I wish I could be a manchild like you guys. :(no worry mod, u can be a womanchild insted :)
So, anyone here remember when Wizards of the Coast pulled an April Fools joke on their website, when they announced the My Little Ponies RPG, about five years ago? Myself and a significant number of my RPG buddies were honestly bummed out when we realized it was a prank.
With this renewal of the line, I wonder if that RPG will become reality...?
So, anyone here remember when Wizards of the Coast pulled an April Fools joke on their website, when they announced the My Little Ponies RPG, about five years ago?Wasn't there back then, but was there two years later when the mods had been prohibited from doing anything on April Fools and a lot of people just switched to the My Little Pony avatar anyways.
RAINBOW DASH USED SONIC RAINBOOMBut you can only do it once, and only when your friend screws you over and then needs your help. The requirements for the move far outweigh its usefulness, especially if your Fluttershy cheer stat is low.

Episode 18 (The Show Stoppers): The Cutie Mark Crusaders doing everything they could think of to try and get cutie marks reminded me of Big Pink Loser (the SpongeBob episode where Patrick kept trying to get an award).This episode actually kinda sucked, at least the first half (I didn't watch past it). It bored me to tears and really showed its "this is a kid's show" colors, unlike, say, Suited for Success.
What is wrong with you people? The CMC are a fun bunch, and add a lot to the show. Sure, I do feel that the show has perhaps focused on them a bit too much in too short a span of episodes, but they most certainly do not make things worse.(http://i45.tinypic.com/2n1iaok.jpg)

Just heard about this. The Hub uploaded Pinkie Pie's song from episode 2 to the official site, but they somehow left the music out, so it's just the singing and sound effects.Could someone rip this for me? I need it.
If you're in America, listen while you can?who knows how soon they'll replace it with the normal version. (http://www.hubworld.com/my-little-pony/shows/friendship-is-magic/videos/mlp-clips-ep2-friendship-is-magic-pt2-song)
This is PROBABLY from the iTunes video which has 5.1 Surround. It probably got messed up in the encode so that only the Center channel is heard (the music comes from the L and R speakers)If this guess is correct, then anyone with the iTunes videos can hear vocals-and-sounds-only or instrumental versions of the songs (and even the entire episodes) just by disabling certain audio channels (if that's even possible; I know nothing about surround sound)!

As I said, Flan-chan is a love/hate file from what I see. Although the people who hate gives their only reason being that, "they don't want to memorize it" crap =/The file is perfectly fine if you have ears and can hear how music goes.
Nothing on Maid though.
