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.

@Scott: i recommend Samurai Champloo. it's from the same guy that made Cowboy Bebop, and there's a lot of action, laughs, and Steve Blum packed in to 26 episodes.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.Well ideally you'd watch the (unaired) pilot first. But apart from a couple of continuity nodes, they're pretty standalone.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI don't know about Netflix, but as far as non Netflix animes go, Spice And Wolf is interesting. It manages to make Medieval economics seem exciting. Though I found the church/wolf subplots boring.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayYou say that as if medieval economics aren't intrinsically exciting.
I'll second the statements that while Firefly is quite good and certainly worth watching, it isn't the greatest show ever like some claim. It did have more potential than any other canceled series I can think of though, so that's depressing.
Well, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood is really good. Though it's also pretty mainstream so you may have seen it?
Non-Netflix wise I can recommend the Magical Lyrical Girl Nanoha series(es)... if you can get past the kind of uncomfortable habit of showing 10-year-old girls transforming in their underwear. Despite how that sounds there's nothing even vaguely sexual about the series.
I can also recommend Kill La Kill and Free! (both of which are pretty sexual in nature but are about older teens and aren't explicit in any way so that's alright). the Persona4 anime was also good, but I recommend playing the game instead.
Movie-wise, Tokyo Godfathers is great(But vaguely christmas themed, so you may want to wait until it's seasonal? It's also pretty heavy in a lot of ways).
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.Oh, I'll also recommend Soul Eater. A pretty solid action series... though it kinda takes a right-turn near the end because it overshot the manga and had to make up an ending pretty abruptly.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.I'll second Samurai Champloo. I actually think I enjoyed it more than Cowboy Bebop, but that's probably just personal preference talking.
FMA Brotherhood is good, but the pacing is a bit off at the beginning. The manga is really good though. Same for Soul Eater (haven't seen the anime, but the manga is pretty solid, even if Black Star is annoying).
Reaction Image RepositorySeconding Soul Eater and Samurai Champloo (I didn't even finish it, but the episodes I saw were great).
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/@Kyler: Maybe. I remember trying to start on FMA Brotherhood and giving it up once because I had seen a bit of the beginning of the first anime, and the pacing of the first few episodes was just too breakneck for me. I think Brotherhood settled in pretty well around episode 12 or so... I don't recall precisely when. Fairly shortly after the discovery of the fifth Laboratory.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.Also everyone I've seen has praised Attack On Titan. Sadly I haven't had much luck watching it.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI'll probably find a way to watch it someday. I just tried once, couldn't get it to work, and gave up.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI read the manga and thought it was okay. Nothing spectacular.

Reaction Image RepositoryI think we were talking about Pokemon yesterday, so if anyone's interested, I'm doing a Nuzlocke run of Fire Red. Documentation in the appropriate thread.
Do you think it'd be possible/worthwhile to record my Nuzlocke run if I do one? I can't think of any good way to record a gameboy, and doing it in an emulator isn't the same.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI just watched the "Simon and Marcy" episode of "Adventure Time", which is really good. Which is nice, because the previous episode I watched was kinda dumb.
Reaction Image RepositoryNote to self:skip whichever ever episode is before Simon and Marcy if I ever get there.
