My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

614 views

So yesterday I watched an episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, the first episode of the series that I have ever actually watched.

 

It was the newest episode (I think), Episode 18, where Pinkie Pie tries to befriend Cranky Doodle Donkey.

 

To be honest, I really wasn't expecting much. I have never been interested in "girly" cartoons and, despite all of the praise the series has, I thought it'd just be another show whose fanbase produces more material than the actual company does. Which is to say, I thought the show would be terrible and the only reason it had any fans was because the fans saw room for improvement through fanfics, fanart, fan music, and the like.

 

Yet surprisingly I enjoyed the episode. Pinkie Pie broke the fourth wall a few times (does she do that often?) and the song wasn't that bad at all. I was kind of hoping Cranky would not become her friend at the end, but the way it was done made sense. I can see why the show's so popular.

 

Of course, I have seen only one episode so far, so I can't fairly judge the rest of the series. And, despite the praise I gave this episode, I do not consider myself a brony. My interest in it largely depends on whether the rest of the series is as entertaining as that episode, although right now I have no plans to watch more episodes in the near future, mostly 'cause I have other things I want to do.

 

Still, that episode certainly gave me a good first impression of the series, which means I probably will watch more episodes some time, but again not any time soon due to other competing interests.

I'm glad you decided to give the show a chance. I would also recommend you watch Lesson Zero next, or another episode that spotlights more of the cast like The Best Night Ever (since the smaller cast was one of the few areas where this most recent episode was lacking). I honestly wouldn't recommend Return of Harmony until you've watched the far-less-breathtaking series premiere, since Return of Harmony draws a lot from that despite being WAY better. Save those two until you've seen enough to get a feel for the cast.

In the entire series (which I love), this latest one was my least favorite. Although it was entertaining, it involved themes that always mess up a video for me. So I think I can say at least most other episodes will be as entertaining, or even more so.

Aside from a few moments, I didn't particularly care for A Friend In Deed. It wouldn't have been one I'd have recommended anyone to start out with.

I'd say you have to watch the pilot first (it's good but compared to the rest of the series it isn't really the greatest) then watch Bridle Gossip and The Best Night ever. Then I recommend the season 2 pilot Return of Hamony prt 1&2 you may see a Bionicle connection.
