My Little Pony ~ Friendship is Magic

[Captain Del]

This is a completely serious post.

So a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away, a friend of mine provoked in to me a discussion on My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic. Having never seen the show, I immediately started laughing in his face as would be expected of a grown man talking about My Little Pony, until I realized he was completely serious. He was insistent that the plot was actually better than most kid's shows these days, and despite the initial premise of the show it is actually a very watchable television show.

Wanting to see this for myself, I immediately ran off and watched a few episodes. The first episode I came across (I decided to watch the first episode, and then go up in order of the season) I almost hurled when I watched the entrance... but, I soon realized my initial thought was wrong.

In the span of two days I watched over twenty episodes of that show, and was already demanding a second season.

I'm completely serious.

I just can't explain it. You really can't understand how quickly you begin to love the show. It's not a "girly" show as one would suspect, and the characters are so lovable it just makes this old pirate heart want to keel over. (My favorite character is Rainbow Dash, who is the easily the best character, and anybody who disputes this will be curiously led in to a dark alley by my body guard Peter.)

So, I must ask - who has seen this show?
