CaptRico Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) I'm wondering if anyone out here on the Macross forums has ever got into watching "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic"? Am I the only brony here for that matter? If this topic is unacceptable for the forum, please feel free to delete. But if it's alright to post here, then alrighty then. Anyways, I'm posting this to see if any Macross fans are also Bronies and follow the current incarnation of MLP and its fandom. Also, while on the topic, I have some ideas for a Macross crossover with MLP:FiM. I'll continue if this topic stays up. But for now, I want to find out the following: "'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.' Like it or not? If so, what you like about it?"

xrentonx Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I believe this has been deleted before and, no, I'm not a Brony. Not hating on MLP but I don't think every forum needs one of these threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Thread re-opened, we'll see how it goes. But anyone coming in just to spout off against it/troll will be dealt with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) Wow, a pony thread that's still open while I was on here. Awesome. I like MLP, It's fun and well written and makes me nostalgic for the late 90's cartoons I grew up watching (Powerpuff girls, Dexter’s Lab, etc.) I'm real bumed I had no way of getting SDCC toys this year. I want one of these but I don't want to shell out $100 on ebay for a $20 toy.

Old_Nash Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I like the cartoon. The animation techinics are to simple, and fluent. I wish to make a cartoon show like this. BECAUSE I A BRONIEBORN!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeszekely Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Wasn't a huge fan of Powerpuff Girls, but I loved Dexter's Lab. Eh, MLP:FIM is on Netflix. I guess it can't hurt to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Jenius Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 It showed up on netflix & I heard it was updated, so I watched it with my daughter. She absolutely loves it. I find it tolerable as well & there have been several points that it's actually made me laugh out loud. Definitely a fun show to watch if you've got a kid.

Pterobat Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I like this series a little bit. I checked it out after the initial wave of hype, and it's entertaining, but it doesn't hit me the way that some of the stuff it's been compared to. I don't like it as much as Pixar, or Foster's, etc. There are only a handful of episodes I'd watch again, but it was a fun show. Lately I've been distancing myself from MLP because I've found more about extreme brony creepiness, but I have to remember it's not the cartoon's fault.

Pterobat Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 You're talking about the furries...I am dry heaving as I type this . I like Foster's and PPG though! Bingo. But to a *much* lesser degree, it's also about the adult fans who clamour that Hasbro cater to them above the actual target audience, and act incredibly smug on the rare times it happens.

GU-11 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Damn, these MLP shows are dangerous. Several months ago when I couldn't sleep, I decided to watch some random stuff on youtube. Stumbled on some MLP eps, and before I knew it, I was halfway through the first season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not checked out MLP:FiM, and have no intention to do so, whatsoever. I assume that it's very much a saccharine and insipid pablum for little kids, but with enough inside jokes, snide humor, and over-the-head-of-kiddies innuendo to make it palatable, and maybe even somewhat enjoyable, to many adults.

Agent ONE Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Brony Brony A name typically given to the male viewers/fans (whether they are straight, gay, bisexual, etc.) of the My Little Pony show or franchise. They typically do not give in to the hype that males aren't allowed to enjoy things that may be intended for females. Uh, so its just like M7 then. I thought there was some deeper meaning than just being a show for *... *fill in the adjective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaorin Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) while i'm certainly no "Brony" MLP and me do indeed go way back. my mom had bought me a bunch of the original MLPs in their day, i was but a four year old back then around '85ish. "Applejack" was my favorite, i remember that much, at least. mom had also gotten me several Rainbow Brite dolls around that same period, including a plush of that incorrigibly narcissistic "Starlite" horse that RB always paraded around on. i had watched my HBOed VHS recording of the "Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer" 1985 movie more times than i can begin to even recall. hell, that very well could've even been one of the key formative elements that led me down the dark path of the Otaku, as that movie DID indeed have a rather Anime-ish look and feel about it, being a TOEI product and all. i also recall mommy taking me to TACO BELL a s&*tload of times to collect the RB "Sprite" plushes that they were including with kid's meals back then. gee, good thing for me i was home-schooled back then; had any of that gotten out among peers, i surely would've been beaten half to death by them more times than i care to begin to fathom. that said, i DO have a pair of sole remnants of those halcyon childhood days, and i'm much too old now to possibly feel ashamed to show them off; (((FUN FACT; the VA of "GREY FOX/CYBORG NINJA" of "METAL GEAR SOLID; THE TWIN SNAKES" fame did indeed lend his talents to that MLP video as the main villain...)))
