In the interests of not knocking it until I've seen it I watched that "Lesson Zero" one posted above and it has a cartoon pony breaking a bear's neck and another trashing then nuking a barn, while the lead pony slowly goes bat shit insane and causes all the other ponies to fight each other. It was pretty intense.

The show has some anime style to it in a similar vein to the Powerpuff Girls which I watched a few of way back in 2002 because that was a Tartakovsky joint. The tone is pretty decent with an easily relatable lead who has a bunch of archetypical friends that add colour. If it wasn't My Little Pony it'd probably be less divisive and hence less popular.

I really don't see dudes liking this as any different to dudes liking Clarissa Explains It All back when I was a kid. However Melissa Joan Hart was pretty hot which is more than I can say about these ponies.

Game looks like will have hell a infinites which i love and should be like mvc2 and i don't think they had air blocking?

If anything, it has some great music in it.

Yo, this shit is fuckin' dumb.

I really couldn't have said it any better myself. Listen, I "get" it when people talk about how Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of their favorite shows. I don't agree by any stretch of the imagination, but I can at least see where people are coming from when they say that. This? This is just dumb. A fan-made fighting game based on a semi-clever cartoon aimed at 10 year old girls that the internet has managed to adopt out of sheer irony is not something that anyone should spend their time making. Ever. Ponies are DUMB.

Oh crap. Sparklykiss is going to ban me now.

please, /thread now

When you think about it, how seriously can you take criticism seriously when it comes from a bunch of people that hang out on a sight where the premium content is watching some kinda over weight duders play video games.

Is this My Little Pony thing some 4chan bullshit or something?

You know what this game needs? A portal of power.

I'd say MLP has approximately twenty times the artistic merit than, say, Gears of War.

This is honestly true.

Other than Young Justice (And maybe the new Thundercats, we'll see how it keeps on) My Little Pony is one of the actually quality all-ages cartoons going these days.

It's very well animated, not particularly exclusionary in content (I.e. depending on current pop culture references like stuff like Family Guy and Simpsons for a larf), has a great voice cast, great background music and other than the fiendish agenda of selling toys, a nice message in the end.

I find it honestly charming and a treat to watch, but I'm not gonna be writing my own fan fiction or jerk off to pony porn. (At least not yet?)

The rabid pony fandom is... troubling, but I personally can't see any fault to the series itself.

Allow me to put my fingers in my ears for a moment:

LA LA LA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU. MY LITTLE PONY IS SURPRISINGLY CHARMING AND FUN, I CAN'T SEE OTHERWISE. NO ONE IS BEING ANTI-FRIENDSHIP AND MAGIC HERE. NOPE. NOPE. NOT AT ALL. LA LA LAAA~

...Anyways, I think this sort of stuff is really cool when a community/fanbase becomes dedicated enough to want to make their own project based around something they're really enthusiastic/passionate about. I'm also actually pretty excited by this because it looks like it'll actually be really really good.

No, YOU'RE DUMB. :< (Not really. I'm only joking, don't be mad at me joking about you being dumb! Opinions!)

...It's not like I've got a list of people who openly bash My Little Pony here... Nope... Not at all.

You're not a brony though, you have no penis and therefore YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MAGIC.

FRIENDSHIP IS SCIENCE!

And don't know why people have to be say spiteful towards this show and its fans. Maybe the creepy fans who only serve as a stereotype to disuade other people from giving it a chance or a sense of understanding from people who like it. Much like some stereotypes for anime, board games, and video games. I don't watch the show outside of some clips on the internet that i've seen but I don't feel the need to hate on the people who enjoy it. From what I understand the creative team behind the show is stellar and most of people who have seen a significant portion of it and talked about it all say it's clever enough for more than children to enjoy.

I watch Young Justice and I have watched everything in the DCAU and even the straight to dvd movies that have come out. I rather enjoy Regular show and Adventure Time. I guess I deserve hate because they are all cartoons.

And don't ask people why they liked the show and when they explain it to you you respond with "Well your wrong." or "Your insane and don't know what good is." It just shows an unwillingness to understand where the other people are coming from. Unless they are doing some dirty shit. Then maybe that's warranted.

I was a bit confused at first because I thought it was a joke that 4chan brought up but then I earned more about it.

The thing is, it's not funny and it's not a joke. That whole "I'm a grown ass man and I'm into a cartoon about ponies that my little sister grew out of at least twenty years ago" thing is sincere, apparently. They justify it by telling you "yo, dawg, it has really clever writing by that chick from that cartoon about four little girls". I guess that makes them feel better about it.

To each their own, I guess. However, Bronies are just something for me to get a cheap laugh at from afar the same way I do with Juggalos. Actually, that's not fair of me to say. They amuse me from afar in the same way, but I didn't mean to imply that Bronies would rape their own mothers paint cave drawings on the walls of their own homes with feces like Juggalos would.

PS: I'm sure it couldn't be worse than most of the cartoons that kids watch these days, I suppose. I tried to watch some thing on Netflix called "Johnny Test" (presumably a pun on Johnny Quest?) and ejected after one episode. It was like the fever-dream of a kid with ADHD. Hurt my eyeballs and my brain to watch, simultaneously and didn't do much for my ear-holes, either. Cartoons have always been pretty mindless and dumb as long as any of us have been alive, but for fuck's sake that was a whole new level.

Oh, also, I can't wait until whatever company owns the rights to this IP sues the magic and friendship right out of everyone involved. That's going to be a kick. :P

@LiquidSwords:

The thing that scares me about what you posted is that I'm not entirely certain that isn't some sort of sick my little pony snuff porn that some guy drew so he could jerk off to it. *shudder* . . . internets . . . *shudder*
