As a fan of the original My Little Pony cartoon, I have been...lessthanthrilled with some of the new incarnations of the franchise.
Not so with "Friendship Is Magic". This show has kept impressing me (and a whole lot of people, many of which were anything but MLP fans) with its excellent humor, intelligent writing, and well-developed characters. In particular, I have been impressed with how its characters avert and subvert clichés and expectations - the intellectual Twilight Sparkle turns out to be a take-charge type-A personality, the fashionista Rarity displays hidden depths, and so on. All in all, one of the best Western shows to come out in recent years.
Since I'd already been doing a series of episode-by-episode tongue-in-cheek reviews of the original show (somewhat in the spirit of Abridged Series)), I have moved on to doing the same with Friendship Is Magic. Can be found here.
