Ever since the 80's, each decade has had its own incarnation of My Little Pony. The 80's had My Little Pony Adventures, the 90's had My Little Pony Tales, the 2000's had the series of direct-to-video movies, and the 2010's belongs to Friendship Is Magic. The success of the show could not be overstated. It is the longest running show Hasbro has ever had, with 222 episodes, two direct-to-video movies, one theatrical movie, dozens of comics, Equestria Girls, and of course we got Pony Life to look

It's like SOPA all over again. For those of you who don't know, YouTube and other companies have gotten themselves into hot water because they've been collecting and selling info from kids. There's now a new law that will put severe limits on monetizing any content that is considered child friendly. However, because what counts as child friendly is so broad, literally anything short of sex and drugs can be considered kid friendly. Basically, this could cause many YouTubers to lose their income

In my previous blog, I mentioned that Pony Life looks like MLP's answer to Teen Titans Go. However, just recently, I thought of another comparison that I'd completely forgotten about until now, and it gives me some hope for Pony Life. I assume you may have heard about a popular manga/anime franchise called Naruto. However, that series also had a cartoony spin-off called Rock Lee and His Ninja Pals. Just like Pony Life and Teen Titans Go,

For those of you who haven't heard the news, Hasbro is making a spin-off show of Friendship is Magic called My Little Pony: Pony Life. On the one hoof, it is admittedly nice to see some more Friendship is Magic before Gen 5 premieres. I even like the cute chibi designs. However, when I look at the ads and read the description, I immediately get a Teens Titans Go vibe. 😱 Oh, the horror! Although the

For those of you who don't know, the IDW comics will continue the series after the end of season 9. While season 9 did a lot to tie up the loose ends, there's still a number of details that I want to see explored in the comics, and here's a list.

I wanted to write this blog after the series finale, but I've put it off because I wasn't entirely sure what to write. I know I don't have that many people watching me, so I'd imagine there's no body on pins and needles wondering what I'm going to do next. However, I also can't make any promises. With the series over, I've been wanting to get back into writing MLP fanfics. However, my life is very uncertain right now. I don't like to publicly talk about my personal life, but to sum up, I've

What a heartwarming tribute to the show. I watched this little documentary after watching the finale, and I'm glad I did because it contained footage from The Last Problem. Spoilers aside, it is a very sweet tribute, even managing to get Lauren Faust to participate. Can't have a tribute to the creators without the woman who started it all. Although, it would have been nice if the documentary had gone longer and incorporated more people. I'm sure there must have been hundreds of people who were

I was careful not to watch the series finale until the day it released in the U.S. As such, I was kind of dreading it because I heard about how people complained about it so much. Even SilverQuil did a video on the controversy, comparing it to the ending of Digimon 02. So with that in mind, I couldn't help but wonder is the finale as bad as the haters say it is, or could it be something else?

Once again, we have another comedy of errors, this time involving a lot of well meaning but hilarious mishaps. I certainly wasn’t expecting Discord and Spike to get involved, but I’m glad they were because their back and forth is hilarious. While the episode provided the laughs, there was also a lot of heart as Big Mac talked about his parents, even showing Sugar Belle the trees his parents planted. I love the reveal that the characters were telling the story to a teary-eyed Applejack. I was

For those of you who are on pins and needles about the show's end, I have good news. Equestria Daily just released an article revealing that the IDW comics will continue the show, just like how the Dark Horse comics continues Avatar the Last Airbender. We don't know if it will continue into Gen 5, but for the time being, it looks like the ponies are here to stay a little longer. It's been a long time
