From what I've heard, it's really violent so it might not be that appropriate for a child that age... :nngh:

It's no Berserk, but it has its fair share of bloody violence, dismemberment and horror themes. The ratings are in the 13-15 range depending on the country. I would hesitate to let anyone under 13 watch it, anyone under ten is a HUGE no-no. I remember when Brotherhood was on TV here and at least initially they broadcasted it on Saturday afternoons. It be cartoon, it for kids hurrr durrr

Huh, that sort of reminds me of the fact that Shin Chan is considered a children's show here where it aired late at night in the USA.

You can't show those movies to kids!! :offendash:






They need to watch them secretly while you sleep or at a friend's house. :gotcha: It's a rite of passage.

In the S5 ideas thread I was going to suggest an episode where the CMC sneak into a horror film and start having nightmares over it, as the yearly "Luna invades some kid's dreams" episode. Then I realized that Sleepless in Ponyville was pretty much this episode.

I still want to see them getting up to trouble like that, though. :gotcha:

Could always be something like that "Four Cakes and a Pie" comic, where Pound and Pumpkin snuck into the Haunted House. :pinkieshrug:

It's pretty common nowadays for people to re-upload stuff to imgur with an attention-grabbing caption, just like all those dumb forwards that one acquaintance on Facebook keeps sending you.

That's because the version here used a gag dub that wasn't really appropriate for children. :gotcha:

Maybe he lives a quiet life now or has a ham radio which he broadcasts his show to only a select group of people.

You know, I know MLP has always been merchandise driven, but it looks like it finally reached the SpongeBob peak in that I've been seeing Pony merchandise outside the toy aisle.

At Wal-Mart, they're selling ceramic banks shaped like Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle, sitting next to banks of SpongeBob and other popular cartoon characters. Not only that, today at a convenient store I saw MLP-themed "pet bag carriers", with stuffed dolls of MLP characters inside.

Looks like Pony is bigger than ever.

Yeah, to be honest, I don't see any other Hasbro brand doing as much stuff like that. Well, except for Transformers sometimes, but really only when a movie is coming out. Outside the toy isle in stores, I'd say MLP is Hasbro's biggest brand.

"Luna invades some kid's dreams"


Maybe in S5 Luna enter Apple Bloom's dreams.
Pinkie Pie: So, you see this here? This, um, this is um, a big, round room. It's known for its roundness, and bigness, and did I mention that it's round?

Her eye muscles are pulling the right half of her face up along with them. Who even animates like this AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :ponydrugs: (Pretend I am HH for maximum effect).

Given how big a pony's eyes are, it's hard for them to not affect the rest of their face. :v: But yeah, even in S1 this show really did good things with the animation.

Honestly, that looks weird. I think it would have been better off if her nose and mouth didn't stretch with the eyelid.

It's realistic, though. If you can twitch your eye like that (though I understand if you legitimately can't), then you'll be able to feel the rest of your face shifting on that side as well.

You only see her do it once in the show; the looping makes it look odd. It's just a little touch that shows it all goes together.

In my defense, those gifs are of very different quality from one-another.

Also, Season 1 is still my favorite anyways, I was just making a joke. :v:
