I have to make a shout-out in this review to kyrospawn to indirectly roping me into the series with his segment videos.
When I watched the first episode of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, I initially was a bit skeptical. After all, this was something notorious for being popular with only little girls, as far as Internet gossip was concerned. But when I actually sat through the first segments of the first episode... I couldn't stop in the middle of it. I had to keep going and see it through to the end. The good animation, the quirky personality traits within the "Mane 6", and the optimistic atmosphere of the place itself kept my eyes glued to my screen. This, as well as the more positive contributions from the fan base, sealed my fate as a brony. They say this is a kid's show? I'd say it seems more and more of a "family cartoon"... at least, compared to its predecessor.
I really can't say anything particularly bad about the show, other than the fact that the separate mini-plots that make up each episode are kind of a bore. I'm pretty much watching a Slice of Life within Ponyville, like a documentary. I wished that there could have been a continuation pattern throughout the series, like what the first and last two episodes. One episode picks off after another, and after at least a minimum of two episodes, the show switches to another plotline. Probably just wishful thinking on my part, but hey... what can you do?
Not the best, but quite interesting.
