I have no idea why this is so popular. I hate it for a number of reasons.
also, I heard about necro making some kind of joke on this and getting muted.

so either toady likes MLP and he was dissing it too much, or it was a REALLY bad/sexist/racist/other joke.
now, I need to evacuate from this thread before my testosterone is sucked out of my body.
what little testosterone I have...

Rape jokes tend to do that.

Toady doesn't like rape jokes, no matter how bad they are. Besides, Necro was already given warnings before. He was lucky he only got muted, since a few people before him have been outright banned for rape jokes.

Welp, it looks like the new shipping chart is up, and Best Pony is still the mare that launched a thousand ships.

It's lacking in a couple areas. Like Shipping. And a number of potential side character ships.

You know, I have never seen any real CelestiaxTwilight ships, although people poke fun at it all the time. Anyone actually write one?

Neat pony artist popped up. Took half the drawfriend today on ED.

I wonder if ponies are well known in Japan yet? I used to call FiM a "shoujo anime" and I still kinda think it is one. Just without a nasty romance plot tumor.

[Dsarker]

Goodness, no.

I think MLP has been the most corrupting influence in my life so far.

[TheBronzePickle]

I wouldn't say that say that FiM is "anime-esque," but then again anime is just the Japanese term for cartoon and FiM most definitely qualifies.  Considering 'anime' as an extremely general genre based around common general themes in Japanese animation, at the very least FiM does not fit the same intended audience as most anime, which is usually geared toward teenagers and adults. There are likely a few other things that separate the two, but I don't really feel like going in-depth.

[kaijyuu]

Which is why I specified shoujo, which has a much narrower audience. Namely young girls


The first two episodes are pretty much ponified Sailor Moon.

[Flying Dice]

But apart from the intentional parallel to SM in the first two eps it isn't extremely similar. No 'monster of the week' deal, and no season-long villian a la Nanoha (though to be fair that was more an adult show fit into a shoujo costume). Although from what I've heard, a great deal of the initial reaction in Japan was along the lines of "It's Precure with ponies!".



Oh, and if anyone else is in the mood for some in incredibly cute and funny Dinky and Pinkie playing at Star Trek, read this.

Also, I'm kind of contemplating what to add. I've found a rather large post by Zangi on Equestrian Warfare which isn't a fanfic at all and isn't even written from an in-universe standpoint.*snip*

Oh... I need to update that sooner or later... still so much to add... blargh.  Hardest part is taking what I have in my head and putting it into typing/writing...

Don't think you can since the signature limit is rather small, and that picture would be WAY to big even if they allowed pictures in signatures.

[Dsarker]

Pictures are allowed in sigs. Go check your profile settings to get it to show up.
