I know I use to watch the old cartoons back in the 80's growing up and enjoyed them. I pretty much watched any cartoon I could and always loved any that had animals involved, hence the seed the would make me a furry was planted at a very young age. I still love cartoon, or I should say I am a fan of animation, any and all kinds including stop motion.

Now, while I did use to watch MLP, I cannot remember anything about the old shows and never collected the toys, my sister did when little but grew out stuff like that when she hit puberty. With all the hype that I had seen in the fur community about the newest incarnation, FiM, my interest slowly got peeked as I got a glimpse at the new pony designed. At first I thought it was just a fad to try them the way people were, I had no idea they actually updated their look till I saw a clip of the show, which put my curiosity past the tipping point and I made myself sit and watch the show, starting with the two-part pilot.

As someone that absolutely adores things I find cute, I have to say I have completely fallen in love with the redesigns. I cannot say I was ever a fan of the original squat, chubby almost SD of chibi-ish style of the original. The new smaller, more trimmed down, ponies with obvious anime influence, I hear the people that did Power Puff Girls are behind it so that I think helps as well, is working for me. I have to say I like the writing and the personalities given to the characters as well, I find myself either plain old admiring how cute they look or giggling my head off at their antics.

About the only thing I find a little lame is the whole idea about there being some kind of moral behind the stories. While I find it a little cheesy I guess it is kind of the whole point of this series, figuring out the magic behind friendship. *eye roll* Which is annoying pointed out by Twilight Sparkle, the only boring pony in the group. I would happily see her flick out of the show and it just be about the other ponies crazy miss-adventures.

Honestly, I have no idea why I am making a journal about this other than to simply get it out of my system. Currently I am hunting down artists to make pony version of my characters and as of to date I have 3 in the works and 1 more to go. *laughs like a crazy person*
