MLP didn't get better with each generation, peaking at 4, but gen 4 was an anomalous success. 3 and 3.5 sucked badly. Maybe they will transfer some experience from gen 4 going into 5, but unless they put together another dynamite production and director team, I anticipate it will just go back to sucking again. (and so here's hoping gen 4 keeps going a few more years at least)

I didn't realize Family Guy was still going.

i used to love MLP, but during the middle of the second season, it felt... different, i couldn't feel that charm that i had always felt watching it....i feel it when i watch clips of the first season and early second, but when i try to watch the newer episodes...i just don't feel it.

In all likelihood though, they are probably going to with generation 5 try and emulate generation 4's success. If you ask me generation 5's first season is going to suck, but if it makes it to the second season it'll be okay. I'm only semi-worried cause hasbro has been on the ball for a while and I doubt they are going to let generation 4 go away anytime soon. If they do I think they know enough to atleast give us a decent show down the line.

Friendship is magic is probably going to go on for a while, but when it eventually ends hasbro probably will have another show lined up that wouldn't be as big of a sensation, but it would in all probability be a okay show that would get better as time goes on.

Could it be that you have a emotional attachment to the first season that season two can't emulate?

It's okay to like season 1 better.
I like winter wrap up better than hearth's warming eve.

So...
I just watched a MLP episode for the first time today (Bridle Gossip).
I was thinking "meh, might as well try this thing", so I picked an episode somebody on this thread recommended.
I watched it all.
I'm... not exactly feeling it...
It was entertaining, for sure. I just don't feel compelled to watch any more.
Also, Pinkie's song was the most annoying thing I've heard in a while.

Bridle gossip's song I gotta agree on that one.
Pinkie has had better songs than just that.
However it normally takes more than JUST one episode to get into it. Normally if you don't like it by five episodes then in all likilihood you're immune.

Anything you'd recommend?

Sonic Rainboom and Party of One are favorites and good episodes to start with.

Either of Swarm of the Centhury or A Dog and Pony show. I'd also recommend The Cutie Mark Chronicles, but that episode requires some previous emotional investment.

I can't even pick a favorite episode.

I think it shows how diverse both the fandom is and how good the show is when even fans cannot agree on good episodes to watch. We just love them all :V

Also, I found a shirt I want: http://www.welovefine.com/1879-escape-from-ponyville.html

Why there aren't any shirts with Spike in his pimp hat is fucking beyond me :[

Hmm...
It's hard to agree on a best episode, but the first two episodes of season 2 are a good double feature.

....Just choose one of the episodes listed, but yeah the first two episodes of season 2 are really good.

Another voice to tug at your ear.

You could also start from Episode 1 and go on from there. You get an introduction of all the characters and five episodes are enough to get a little bit of charm out of all of them. Except Rarity, who is diamonds much later in the show.

Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thr

You know I just had a thought about animals and such in equestria.

Since there's pets and such that can only be explained by a rigid caste system, maybe not all the creatures in their world are sapient. Sure Angel and the pigs and such are sapient. However squirrels, frogs, snakes and such haven't shown any signs of sapience. A lot of the animals have shown intelligence higher than the animals have in real life, but they don't show signs of sapience and primarily act on instinct.

What I am getting at is ponies, dragons, pigs, cows, minotaurs, draconequus, Angel bunny, and some other creatures are sapient. However maybe not all the species are sapient, only higher level intelligence than their real life counterparts.

Watch that new MLP:FiM show, it's pretty good.

But seriously, with even just 1 episode you could probably tell that it's a very character-driven show. This is why you need to watch a handful of episodes; you aren't necessarily going to relate to all of the characters, but you will to one or a few, and they're all fairly endearing once they've been given oppurtunity to establish themselves in your head.

Also that one Pinkie Pie song wasn't really supposed to be good. I'm pretty certain they have a different person sing for Pinkie Pie, but for that song they just used the primary VA instead. It does work with the intent of the song.

You know I just had a thought, is there a primary art site that bronies upload to? I mean besides DA. I'd hate to draw a analogy, but like furries have furaffinity?

Well this one girl gave me three custom sculpted Fluttershys, a McDonalds 'Shy, and a blind bag one.

Definitely want to get to know her better.

You're going to get to know her better by doing what your avatar is doing, right?

ps.
They all would like to say hi.

Wait. What's that on top of their heads? Also, is that derpy in the back?

New Friendship is Witchcraft. I squee'd with glee.

I found it embarrassing that I understood everything about the fanfics and anime reference.

Also, Dole Bro is my new favorite phrase.

Why do all the main 6 and spike's voices sound ACCURATE?! The hell?!

Except for Zecora who sounds like the Terminator.
