OP information WIP
I love it. First time I have noticed the opening sentence in Rainbow Dash's bio. Genius :D

At first I was like...

I don't get why this topic is always on the front page. There are other shows which are way more popular that aren't always on the front page.

Is it fans of the show trying to annoy us? Or is it people like me confused as fuck always seeing this topic and then coming in with a message like mine and bumping?

or a little of both...
A little of both. It usually goes like this:

- Person wonders why the My Little Pony thread is still there, gets curious.
- Person posts and asks why the heck it keeps being here.
- Person gets linked to one of the episodes. Person grudgingly accepts that it's an okay show.
- A couple of hours later we see a post from the same person asking "Why did I just spend several hours watching My Little Pony?!"
- Someone posts the "Welcome to the Herd" picture or the "Pull up a chair" picture. We then discuss ponies with the new bronie for half a page or two.

Then the circle repeats.

It is a genuinely good show, mind you. Good animation, good voice acting, good writing. It just happens to be about ponies.

Related, I'm probably overdue for a pony avatar myself, but I haven't found one I like. Still flying the Felicia flag for now.

This is pretty much what happened to me.

Watched episode 3. This is a good, all-round show. Ponies don't bother me at all. It's even refreshing to have a well-written show with the 'fluffy pink sugar bunny' aesthetic.

Really, I'm thinking that the next generation of adults will have many cartoons to wax nostalgic about, despite people talking about 'the death of cartoons' or whatever. There's this, Ben 10, Sym Bionic Titan, Adventure Time, Avatar, etc.

Seriously. Anyone saying there's no quality cartoons these days is just not even trying to look.

Hell, people wax nostalgically about all the shit that came out in the 80s. Whether they would wax nostalgically about the stuff coming out was never really the question. More a matter of whether or not it deserved it.

I just think that the 90s were so good for cartoons that the perspective has skewed a bit.

I'm not sure about Q1 on the FAQ, can some open-minded element of Pony-GAF tell me if I'm pushing my (our?) luck?

I'd ditch it and replace it with the information Faust posted regarding intended audience. Dai101 has it in a previous post under your faq.

Honestly, I think you make too many concessions. Just mention that rule 34 is pretty much a rule for a reason, because there really is porn for pretty much everything. As far as the show itself goes, there is absolutely nothing sexual about it.
 
I keep coming back to this thread for the relatively high concentration of pony avatars, which pretty much instantaneously diffuse any tension / frustration from my shitty work day.

Now if someone was to catch me looking at this thread at work there would probably be a whole new class of tension / frustration but I think I'ma cross that bridge when I get to it.

I refuse to believe that the male ponies also call them "cutie marks".

Thanks for the feedback, I rewrote the whole thing to make it simpler and more generic.

If our graphics volunteers are still available, I could really use some graphics for the following headers:

What is this?
Wait, "My Little Pony"? Isn't that...
Why should I care about this?
Who are these ponies?
What about those other ponies, and that dragon?
I'd like to give it a try, how can I watch it?

Awesome fan-created stuff

Holy moly this thread moves too fast for me to keep track of! I totally spaced out during my persona 3 binge. The banner looks phenomenal, awesome work! I do agree that maybe stretching out the friendship report might be a good idea, it's a little hard to read.

Is anyone using this one? If not I think I'll grab it.
Nope, feel free. I just edited the post :D I feel like I'll have to go gif hunting some more when I'm not feeling so lazy haha.

Uchip said:
how long before people discuss what their "cutie mark" would be?
Me? Hmmm probably a video game controller, or something silly like a tarot card or an origami figure. Then again it wouldn't really be up to us would it?

how's that?


Loving how Luna is up there like that. Also LOL at the Cromartie High gif. If I had a cutie mark. It be a iron glove drawing something with a pencil.

Also. Dash fans represent!
 
Only Ponies get Cute Marks, Cutie Marks are always on their Flank. They don't decide what Cutie Mark they get, when they get it or how.
So that means Cute Marks are

they are gay
Think about it.

I'm amazed at how brief some of these avatar gifs are. I just watched this episode and this bit of animation was maybe half a second. It really shows how much care goes into every moment of animation.

Considering how seriously everyone is taking the fictional universe of infinite pony's right down to the politics, without proper clarification I could easily be labelled as one of "Them" by mistake. Someones bound to bring up that topic at somepoint if they haven't already. Giraffe4Life.

Grr arr. Went to Toys R Us today as planned, but they had nothing of note.

They had a sign up for the $15 sale on the "gift set", but didn't actually HAVE any.


I also want this, but don't want to pay $25 for it, and haven't seen it anywhere else. The Hasbro site doesn't even acknowledge its existence...
 
I just finished watching the first two episodes and I liked it. I absolutely love Pinkie Pie. XD Unfortunately, the script made it rather hard for me to not cringe at some points. I wasn't expecting another Avatar: The Last Airbender, but I was still hoping for a bit more depth. I like the artstyle in general but it's a bit too basic, particularly the backgrounds. I don't think I can quite say I am a fan yet; I'll have to give it a few more episodes.

Don't worry, the 2 episode pilot are the only ones (so far) that have that episodic formula, from the 3 onwards is more like "slice of life" formula, think Azumanga Daioh but with ponies. And is FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!!!!

As everyone is quick to point out, the first two episodes are totally not an indicator of what the show is actually like.

Aside from Twilight moving to Ponyville and meeting everyone, the events of the first two episodes are completely ignored in the rest of the episodes so far.

Also, episode 2 in particular is overly cheesy with how it's designed to make use of everypony's talent one after another in rapid succession :p

I'm actually not really a big fan of "slice of life" shows. Okay, I take that back. Apparently some of my favorite anime series are considered "slice of life", as per TV Tropes. I guess I only associated the term with comedic works. Anyway, will watch more.

Seems like a pretty generic Spike-face to me :p

I find the bottom text hard to read, still. I think I just don't like that font.

It's awesome being Spike I bet. A town full of ponies and you can just hop on any of their backs and ride em. Some might not like it but they're ponies! It's like in mount & blade I think where you can just take any horse from anyone.
 
I convinced a friend of mine to watch the pilot two-parter with me yesterday. We watched it on a bus filled with thirty-some-odd other guys, so there were a few "what are you watching?" "is that a unicorn?" "I worry about you sometimes..." remarks, but my friend seemed to enjoy the show. Now if I can just get him to watch Sonic Rainboom he'll be a brony for sure... (Insert Rarity laugh here).

Samurai Leo! Whats not to like about him? Badass armor, badass weapons, and kick-ass helmet. Man, Samurai Leo owned so many asses during his many adventures of my childhood. He defeated entire Gi Joe squads, several Transformers and Decepticons, Skelettor, Cobra Commander, he was just unstoppable.

I eventually lost him. I like to think that he's gone to save the earth again.

I shall masturbate to you tonight, Samurai Leo.
 
Once upon a time there were people who tried to make some other people get upset and act out by acting out. It had worked in other lands and they thought they were clever enough to get it to work again. It didn't.

The End.
