A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

All of the usual forum rules apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

Aww, thanks guys. It's not been an easy month for me, so anything encouraging is comforting.

I wonder if that ever actually happened while Princess Twilight was studying under Princess Celestia.

So, I recently uncovered my favorite summary of Princess Tutu and thought I'd share it.

"It is difficult to explain coherently. The heroine's rival/antagonist is a stripper who uses dark blood magic to sacrifice children to a chaos god by draining them of all their hopes and dreams via semi-literal mind rape. The instigator of the plot is a reality warping author who continues to write the fate of the world despite having his hands cut off and ( more importantly) being murdered for centuries, also the only kind of ending he likes is a tragic one.

So basically he takes a random duck out of nowhere, makes her have a crush on a fallen prince, and makes it so that she will be erased from existance if she reveals her crush to the prince, and then gives her superpowers, all for the lulz. Said duck proceeds to fuck shit up with the power of love and understanding." ~ Anonymous

@CDRW: I really need to get back to finishing that show. Although that summary completely leaves out the whole "ballet" aspect, which is kinda major.

Is it really? I mean, it's a predominant motif in the show, yeah. But in terms of the overall plot, it's not that relevant.

@ JT: Yeah, you really should. tongue Out of curiosity, how far into it did you get?

[up] That's... you know, that's a really good question. I think technically you could replace the ballet with something else and still have the same story, but it would completely change the atmosphere, which is a huge aspect of the story in itself.

The only thing from Princess Tutu is an utterly hilarious snippet of Narration talking about this guy. It has a quote by the author, followed by a very unimpressed woman saying, "Said the author, who was supposed to be dead!"

It always struck me as like, an actor ad-libbing during a stage performance.

[up] Yeah, I think that's the opening narration to the second episode. I love the narrator too.

@CDRW: I honestly don't remember. I first watched back in college, probably about four years ago. I think I got about halfway through the first season if I remember right. And yeah, the ballet isn't integral to the plot per se, but the aesthetic permeates the show so heavily that if you replaced it with anything else it would feel completely different.

And now, I really need to get to sleep because I have work tomorrow.
