Everyone shut up. If you want to watch a truly epic kid's show (SHOW; the books have a much wider target audience), watch the Redwall TV series on youtube. That is the epic. And end of season 3 will make you cry I promise to all of you.
Lol this thread fails so hard.

What in the name of sweet feth's sake are you maniacs talking about?
Some sort of in joke for those who have not watched it. Neither comment bears any relation to the show as I have seen it. Though there are a couple of actual races in it.

I want the minutes of my life wasted back. Thanks for nothing.
Well kudos to you for being secure in your masculinity enough to try it.
Believe me on this, initially I was reluctant because of what it was. Rise above prejudice, give it its fair chance. Frankly I dont think the pilot is enough because it focuses on a threat rather than the six characters. Those six ponies, to know them is to love them, except Rainbow Dash who I find annoying, though mileage can vary, she is a favourite of others.
When i gave it a chance I did what you guiys did, watched five minutes and said no thankyou. But thn I got curious. Its a girls show, its not much to look at at first glance yet numerous men are 'addicted' to it and were commenting as such on the youTube comments. I had to know why.
Puit it is this way. Take one of the episode plots, a pony is mamking a party dress for all six ponies, they dont like the dresses so she remakes them, afterwards they have a fashion show. Oh and this episode involves a lot of singing too. Sounds as dire as Vorgon poetry doesnt it. Sound like you want to chew your leg off. However what if I told you that somehow they made the subject matter entertaining, to men; the singing enheartening, to men; the storyline and pacing watchable, to men. Are not not even a little curious as to how this is pulled off? Frankly I think its a work of genius, and I am not exagerrating. It is nothing remotely like content I would seek out, and I dont really like cartoons at all, let alone girl cartoons. The only animation I like is very occassional Disney, emphasis on occassional, plus Akira and Ghost in the Shell. I sort of liked the Battletech cartoon because it was gaming related. Cartoons are not for me, I am over 40 for a start, yet My Little Pony is a weekly must watch with excellent rewatchability. Yes I am also inclined to buy the DVD on release and apart from Ghost in the Shell I have no animation DVD's in my collection.
Be curious enough to wonder why this surprise series crosses so many culture boundaries and does it well.
Twilight, Pinkie and Fluttershy for best pony, Rarity as runner up. Yes I chose four favourites, bite me.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.
This show is so good, I can't put it into words. My favorite part was the song. Solving conflicts with out resorting to violence, friendship, coupled with great writing and pacing, topped off with great art work= one of the best cartoons in a while. I know some people cant get past the show being feminine without having sex objects (Anime) Or girls bein strong withoug the tire old "we're strong because we can take advantage of men angle. All the Characters are likable. Hell even the annoying sidekick Spike is likable , and actually useful. Thanks for the great find.
'Frankly I think its a work of genius'
+1 to that. My fave is The red pony ( I call her singing pony 4000)

Well, Duh! Because they had a giant Mining ship. If you had a giant mining ship you would drill holes in everything too, before you'd destory it with a black hole
Half of my TF2 clan is fascinated with this show. I'll admit, I watched an episode or two, it reminds me alot of Foster's Home, since done by the same person, but not something I'd eagerly await every week to watch. Overall, nice to kill time and watch but I'd rather finish the Venture Bros or my backlog of anime.

So I went on an adventure. To Candy Mountain.
Agreed. I watched almost half of the first episode then...meh.
Really don't see what the big deal is. Yes, there was the beginnings of the plot, but that got tossed aside for making friends and other typical "kids stuff" plot hooks.
Then I watched Charlie the Unicorn and now all is right in the world.

Sodomuffin is from the webcomic "Shortpacked". She's one of the character's favorite ponies but can't convince anyone it's not a pony she made up until one of the other characters actually sees Sodomuffin in the background of the new show(which of course doesn't actually happen in the real world).
I'd show you a picture David Willis drew of her, but her Pony stamp is a penis bursting through a muffin and therefore NSFW.

Pilots and first episodes are always set up and development. good shows arn't for some people.

This is what the Warhammer 40,000 Universe really needs!
You see, the Chaos Gods are fuelled by hatred, anger, egoistic and empathy-less behavior? As long as the Imperial War Machine fights with Wrath and Contempt against its enemies, Chaos will never be destroyed!
I'm actually at least half-serious here; if the fighting forces of the Imperium would emphasize on Camaraderie and other at least partially positive concepts for their war against chaos instead of ruling with fear and encouraging hatred, maybe it would actually weaken the Chaos gods!
FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!

God I wish those DVDs were still in print. Was able to get Redwall & Mattimeo for 'reasonable' prices, but Martin The Warrior is always like $100+ -.-
I like how this thread is divided among 3 mods, pro-pony, anti-pony, pro-old pony and pro-redwall people.

Seriously Redwall TAS is fantastic.
They release a DVD every once in a while. I'm just lucky that my library has all of them.
