... Or like this?

Yeah i think half of the fandom is insane. that's probably also another reason i like it.

It's called Rainbow Dash Attack now.

I watched the premier of this. But then I kept missing the new episodes and quit trying because I hate watching a series out of order. Now I'm watching it again... it really is awfully cute. It's weird to see a new MLP show, because I'm just old enough to remember the original series.

Now about 20% realer:

A little help from the Pony community, please.

I have a 1 yo pony lover who is encouraged by my MLP loving wife, so what do I need to know?

Incredibly simplistic plots but with consistent characterization (though not actions), some good dialogue, great voice acting, and some cute songs thrown in here and there.

Twilight Sparkle is the brains of the operation. Every episode ends with her telling this princess what she learned about friendship, which are overly simplistic messages, but hey, it's for 4 year-old girls. She has a little boy dragon helper, named Spike. He's incredibly boring.

Rainbow Dash is the tomboy. She likes to go fast and take action.

Pinkie Pie is random, and because we're dealing with children, random is supposed to be funny. She does have some good moments though.

Rarity is the fashion loving stereotype. Pretty much Sex and the City wrapped up into a package for little girls, wanting a prince charming and all.

Fluttershy can't talk above a whisper, she's meek and shy and loves animals. I suspect that if this were meant for teenage girls, she'd be cutting herself.

nondeplumage summed it up nicely.

the plot is rather insgnificant since every episode, except the first two, starts and ends an adventure (there's some contnuity nods here and there but are not essential). these adventures are also usually rather trivial and not really surprising, if you ever watched a cartoon.

There are 6 main ponies each with a rather stereotypical characters but also some nice nuances.

The main appeal of this show is the solid animation, excellent voicework and dialogue ,some very catchy tunes and songs, depending on your taste a rather good sense of humor, and last but not least Rainbow Dash.

People watch it for the plot

I think I know where to start, thanks.

This is awesome, its the Lady of Pain from Planescape Torment as a Pony.

There's another topic about this show here:

Well damn, i'm impressed. that's actually a really entertaining read. personally i would have preffered it if it would be based more around the first fallouts rather than the third one (and the first chapters are a bit slow and boring), but still it's good, really good.

if he'd make a book out of it i'd buy it.

Yeah, you hit right the nail. I'd so buy it. Mhh...I am pretty sure some crazy brony will maybe attempt a mod for FOE in near future. Somebrony already works on a Portal2 mod based on a fic AFAIK.

I've been meaning to ask. "Brony" is a portmanteau of "bro" and "pony", right?

Because I never would have thought that ponies would be considered bro by the Internet community before.

Everypony is a potential friend.

We are magic.
