PS: To anyone new on the internet, expect My Little Pony to be Rule 34'd on 4chan, and brace yourselves for it, because it isn't pretty at all :(
Their rule is that if it exists, it must be given this treatment, so I'm not surprised. -_-
I thought Rule 34 was "If it exists, there's porn of it. No exceptions", not "If it exists, it must be given this type of treatment".
Well, think about it.  Technically, I am right.

Once it exists, someone on Rule 34 will give it the porn treatment. :x

Personally I'm not bothered by Rule 34. If you don't like it, just don't look at it. That's all there is to it. Even if there's porn of MLP, well who cares? As it's been stated before, if it's not your cup of tea, don't go looking for it. Simple as that.

Back to MLP, I might post a fanart I did of it a few days ago. I made my own fancharacter, a bitter male who paints over his cutie mark because he's ashamed of it. I haven't figured out a name for him, though I am thinking of calling him Trojan. I specifically chose male because there's so few male characters in MLP:FIM and a ton of female characters.

Really now? I have not much drawing or scanning int he past, but I will try to give a go at it.

I will name my character General Gunter, one of the great grandfathers of Rainbow Dash  :lol: He will have a color scheme of gray with a few brown speckles on the face. I may even add a monocle and a slightly heavy British Accent. Too bad my drawing is VERY bad  :smile

I also agree. Not enough male characters on the show...

As for your character's name, I am suggesting Robertson. Why? Just because its the first name that comes to mind for me.

I was really wondering why some people over at dA started to draw MLP art. :huh:
Then I see a topic here discussing about MLP too and got curious.

Alright then, so I've watched the first episode and I have to say... it was actually great!  :)
Honestly, I thought it was just some childish, girly, kiddie stuff for 4 year olds, but the show changed my mind. It was weird at first to watch, but I'm glad I did. :^.^: Looking at some comments at youtube, people who are older than 18 AND male are enjoying this show too. Guess I wasn't the only one.  :p

Hmm... I only watched the first four episodes and I hope to see more male characters and a deeper story coming along too and not only 'moral of story' episodes. :angel
I'm not sure if I spelled her name correct, but I think Fluttershy is the cutest pony. :3

Well, I have some sad news.  Now, I want you all to take a look at this account.

http://www.youtube.com/user/MASTERLINKX

Now, you may not know it, but this user was the one posting the full-length episodes, and Faust was okay with it.  In fact, Faust is just happy that everyone can enjoy her work.  So what happened to them?

From what I've gathered, apparently, some troll who hates the show filed multiple copyright claims.  As such, YouTube took it down.

You see, this is a problem.  The creator says it's okay to post it on YouTube, but now with these claims, it's temporarily gone.  I hate when trolls exploit the system like this.

I hope this gets resolved soon, because what the troll did was wrong.  Like I said, the creator was okay with it, so there was no reason to take it down in the first place.

Oh, and if anyone asks about the videos saying "Copyright Claimed by Hasbro, Inc." that is the troll there.  First off, Hasbro only has the rights to the toys and not the show.  Second, if it was Hasbro, it would not have the ", Inc." at the end.  So yeah, the claim's a fake.

So yeah, we have a fake copyright claim on the show here.  Hopefully it gets resolved soon.

Speaking of Hasbro, I heard that they were also fine with the episodes being up on YT because of MLP being limited to Canada and USA. To them, the eps on YT were more exposure. The only eps they may have an issue with are the HD ones.

^^Well, like I said, Hasbro has no rights to the show, so even if they did have problems with it, there's nothing they could do about it.  Sure, they could file a claim and all, but it would get them nowhere.  As long time standing toy makers, they would know better in the end.

Okay, there is someone else who is providing the episodes and is still allowed to put them out.  However, you won't get Widescreen HD or Full-Length.  Yeah, you're stuck with Fullscreen 480p and 2-parters for a bit.  Still, until the fake copyright claim gets resolved, this will have to do.

I'm okay with this limit here, but I understand some won't be.

You get what you pay for...hd pay for cable. ;)  HD videos do not equal free videos necessarily.  Costs more for a hd telecast and production.

Well, it's official!  I now like Rarity more than Pinkie Pie!  The latest episode brought her to the bottom of the list for me.  Yep, I like Pinkie Pie the LEAST now.  Mind you that I don't hate her, I just don't like her that much.

Oh, and when you hit the bottom of my list, it'll take something big to help you recover.

However, I must say that the outfit she wore in this episode does work quite nicely for her.  Yeah, that's one of the few pluses of the episode, but it has too many negatives for me to like it.

So yeah, bad episode for the latest one.  Pinkie Pie's sing-and-dance routine really ruins it.  It's just a simple thing of doing the wrong thing and the wrong time.

Lol, I thought it was funny when Pinkie Pie randomly performed an encore just after the buffalo chief was about to back down. :lol

I also find the filler conversation on the train (about Fluttershy being a tree) to be extremely hilarious. Just proves that you should NEVER use sarcasm on Pinkie Pie. :lol

And after that, Rarity goes all:
"Would you all be QUIET, NOOOOWWW!!!" *insert scary mudmasked pony face here*

Priceless, I tell ya. :lol :lol

Yes, Pinkie Pie is awesome!  :lol She's quickly becoming my favorite character. There's just nothing I can really dislike about her.

I think they were designed by the same lady that did Ed, Edd, and Eddy...who is on a Darkwing Duck forum I'm on (since she ALSO did one of the comics).
At first I was think, "what the heck happened to the ponies' style!?"...but if it's epic...hurmmm...

One thing I've actually noticed is that there has been a HUGE increase in My Little Pony OCs since the show had began airing.

To be honest, I've actually had my main My Little Pony OC Rose before the show even started.

Also, just to get to more questions out there; did anyone find it humorous in one of the episodes when Twilight Sparkle looked EXTREMELY similar to the Pokemon, Rapidash?

Also, just out of curiosity, what is everyone's opinion on the character, Trixie? The way she talks in third-person just gives me a headache...

Trixie? Trixie!? You mean the Great and powerful TRIXIE!!!

In my opinion, even though she just had one episode of screen time, she is one of my favorite characters that is not one of the main 6. In fact, I personally love Trixie x Twilight Sparkle Shipping stories on Equestria Daily.  :lol:

Roflmao. Has anyone seen the newest episode (A Bird In The Hoof) yet? Goddamn, Celestia is such a troll! :lol :lol

Guess that's one advantage of royalty. XD

...oh and Benny Hill reference again in this one. Also, Angel holding up a watch is an obvious reference to Alice In Wonderland, lmao. :lol :lol

This episode just cracks me up. :DD

Just finished catching up. Now I can't wait for the next episode. We're going to get to learn how Rainbow Dash got her cutie mark. There's a poll on the website for how she got her cutie mark http://www.hubworld.com/mylittleponytales   I voted for Sonic Rainbow.

HOLY COW!!! You guys completely helped in rekindling my lost love for My Little Pony!
......
Okay surprisingly the show is pretty good. And for a moment there I thought the show would be too "girly" and would've ended up leaving the show after 5 minutes of episode one. But I didn't.. the show just seems too good right now too leave.
And I'm not even finished half way through it! And this is coming from a teen who used to put everything pink in the darkest depths of my closet. :)

Isn't that already over? The episode was aired yesterday, lawl.

In fact, Sonic Rainboom won the poll, which I too had voted on. :DD
