I started watching a few episodes on YouTube earlier and my overall rating on it is a 8/10 on two sides.
- Entertainment
It's actually a good show. It's not as entertaining (humor-wise) as shows like Family Guy, American Dad, and other Fuzzy Door productions.
- Age variety
Aside from the fact from it being a children's show, it has quite a lot of humor for both children and adults. That's one of the things that caught my attention first, and that's usually right in my interest. Like all the Shrek movies.
After watching a few episodes, I found my favorite character: Twilight Sparkle. There are three main things I found best about her.
- Humor
Twilight Sparkle is one of the funniest ponies - aside from Rainbow Dash.
- Social role
She is one of the protagonists in the show and her optimism and pessimism are both exaggerated qualities with the other ponies.
- Temper
My favorite quality in Twilight Sparkle is her temper. She is easily frustrated at failure and others' actions.
I would actually like to get this show approved for my daycare center. There is a lot of destructible socialism and, of course, friendship. It teaches a sense of social and emotional development for the three-four age group. The two age group would instead enjoy the friendly colors and actions. I enjoy everything about it (and I'm sure a bit of quiet time would be great), so we would all benefit from watching it.
The main reason I decided to do this is to (maybe) encourage other people to watch the show. It's actually pretty good. If you think the ponies get in the way of your pride, then you're left out.
