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!

@Ike: Get an apartment. Have the door converted into a heavy steelframe with a military-surplus Abloy lock like those armory padlocks. Secure windows with well-concealed razor concertina wire.

I've considered trying so I can just listen to it straight, but then I gave it a few weeks of work and went fuck this. The grammar and pronunciation aren't too insane, but the sheer amount of context specific honorifics and accents did me in.

Yeah, Japanese is notoriously difficult to figure out for somebody who's only familiar with English grammar.

Also, Kill La Kill is getting a dub? I approve.

\*looks up "KLK"*

It's either "Kill la Kill" or "Klink Loves Kirk".

@ Ike: I'm sorry you're surrounded with such irresponsible people.

You should just let your sister get in trouble. She's too old to need a constant babysitter. If she doesn't give a buck about her responsibilities, then why should you?

I hate my family. Mom is annoying, my dad and brother are assholes, and my sister is a bitch. Believe me, as soon as I have money and a better job I am out of here.

As for why I give a shit about them- because they're my family. My sister is 16 and has OCD. My brother is in college and in debt. My dad doesn't help enough and my mom works her ass off for everyone despite the stress levels slowly killing her. Someone has to help out or this family would fall apart.

I tried learning Japanese in High School, but I just couldn't hack it at all. I'm not very good with Chinese either.

Near the end of my dial-up experience on my 11-year-old computer with Windows ME, it took 30 minutes for a 3 MB image to load. Needless to say, I couldn't watch You Tube, or any other video online.

Which is what I face, and why I have to use wi-fi on my Wii, since it's the strongest, fastest processor in my house. In case you're wondering, my family is low-middle class. That's why I still use 5 yr old tech.

I learnt a bit of formal Japanese once, but most of what I know is informal Japanese gleaned from watching too much anime [lol]

[up]Knowing mandarin helped me pick up JPN, because Kanji is close enough to Chinese hanzi to be understandable.

I find it easier to emulate what a Chinese/Japanese says with the help of Subtitles to understand what i'm about to say.

@Syd: Well, it is easier to pick that stuff up when you're younger. If you grow up learning it, I don't think it's that much worse than learning any other language.

[up][up]Yeah, it sucks that your go-to computer is an outdated game console.

I said this on The TF thread:

This had me thinking: They aired the G1 TF movie over and over, why have they not aired or gave thought about brodcasting G1 MLP movie: Escape from Castle "Somebadplaceidk"?

The look on all your faces if they did... priceless.[lol]

I remember when I was about to enter third grade. I was terrified because I'd now be required to learn cursive handwriting. My 8-year-old self was convinced he was doomed.

I speak English only. I would love to learn to speak Japanese.

[down] I hope they have Japanese classes during the fall term at my college.

[down][down]I spent two years taking Spanish classes in high school. I understand it basically, if that.

I still feel like I know next to nothing about the language.

I've never tried to learn or speak a foreign language. I imagine it would go like this:

Me: How'd I do?
Teacher: You just told the class, "My liver killed Angelica Pickles."

You know that would likely violate the rental contract.

I remember when I was about to enter third grade. I was terrified because I'd now be required to learn cursive handwriting. My 8-year-old self was convinced he was doomed.

What's funny is that during Kindergarten, I went to a school where it was all cursive only, but when I switched to public school for 1st grade, I had to switch to print. By the time, cursive lessons came around in 3rd grade, I barely remembered it, but that's ok because noone actually uses cursive and noone cares about it any more.

I spent three years taking Japanese classes in college.

I took German classes for 5 years over Middle school - college (I quit several times), but I was never particualrly good at it, probably due to being to embarassed to attempt speaking it much.

I can watch movies in German with no subtitles and usually understand most of it, but being able to speak it is a lot harder.

Also, visual context helps when understanding a movie of course.

You just told the class, "My liver killed Angelica Pickles."

That's highly unlikely. At least in German. I suppose it might be possible in a tonal language like Chineese.

One of the nice things about German is that it's very similar to English, which makes sense, since they were related 1000 years ago.

On the other hand, German is one of the most useless languages you can learn, since all German people speak English anyway.

Also, you would say someone's name the same way in any language. Why would there be a girl called Angelica Pickles?
