My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (season 1)


These days, cartoons are now becoming suited for people who are quote mature. Those of age 13 and over will going to watch a show more likely to have the words Seth Macfarlane on them: those will relate to the I-don't-give-a-shit dad with a hot wife, while laughing and enjoying the poor execution of political satire. While The Simpsons currently declines in quality in terms of writing and story, South Park still coming up the top, I'm here to review My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, apparently the reboot of the toys of the same name that came in with the direct-to-dvd movies and the original TV series in the early 1990s

Why am I reviewing a show that is targeting a narrow niche of 5-8 year old girls? Well because it is not only a show that is based on the toys from Hasbro, but because it is an Internet phenomena. MLP:FiM unexpectedly attracted teenage boys and adult men. And they call themselves 'bronies' (insert uncomfortable laugh). If you thought society has already gone way over its head, then think again. These guys have got good reasons why they enjoyed it so much which is what I'm gonna take note on here.
