Nice. I may check out G3 some time. The style isn't really to my taste, and I love the.. how can I put it but "cooler".. anime style along with just how really universal it all feels, with the only slightly girly thing being the logo. But the episode of G1 wasn't what I'd consider bad, and I'm not one to judge something before trying. Hence getting into FiM in the first place

The More You Know. *shooting star*.
Obligatory:


Awesome indeed that the love and imagination she had for it was then used as a basis for the new series.
I actually don't read up on this stuff all that much (as is evident!) but one neat story I read was from someone LF used to babysit who remembers drawing ponies with her.
Equestria Daily: Childhood Memories of the Alicorn Across the Street
Lovely little story.

The funny thing is that, this is actually the reason bronies exist, which makes it funny that so many new bronies a quick to hate on the old versions until they realize this (thankfully very few of them do this now).
Hehe yeah. If there would be any dislike I have for older ones it'd be the 3.5 styling but it's hardly anything to hate on it over.
I've noticed and loved the little nods to us.
I'd even argue that there's been the occasional little bit of a nod to RainbowShy shipping, but that may just be me, with it being a ship I enjoy myself
I squee'd when Derpy's name was used. Amazing. Pity it caused all the controversy though.

As long as the BluRays and DVDs don't suffer the same fate as most children's shows (just a handful of random episodes and no extras). Also I live in the UK too, and when it comes to ponies, our country sucks. The only channel to air them was Boomerang, and that channel did zero research on the show; they thought that the second half of Season 1 was Season 2, so God only knows what they'll say when Season 2 arrives - this like what the Americans did to Final Fantasy, but not as ludicrous. I've given up on waiting for them to get their act together, and am sticking to YouTube.
I would think the FiM team would know and do better, they usually do!
Agreed. From what I've heard you can get blind bags in Asda and Tesco now? So I may have a look around at some point. Because I wouldn't mind a couple of little ponies lined across my TV ;P But generally speaking we're rather lacking.
Don't get me started on regionalisation on the internet. It drives me up the wall. I'm sat here with £40 or whatever poised ready to give them it for seasons 1 and 2. I want to support the show. They don't seem to want it!
