I started watching it in german, but restarted the series in english at ~ episode 10. At first I already was used to the german voices and it felt weird, but luckily I got used to the voice change (even though the german dub is still one of the better ones).

Fan Song: Probably "The Moon Rises" or "Lullaby for a Princess" Album Song: Either "Days gone by" or "Raise this barn (I Am Orange Remix)" Show song: I probably have listened to every single song equally often (about a trillion times sounds pretty accurate).

To be honest, I didn't like the first episodes until episode 16. If I didn't promise a friend to watch the whole first season, I would have probably dropped it after the first episode, but I get what you mean. Definitely one of my favorites, indeed.

If a friend came up to you and asked you to show him an episode of MLP, because he doesn't understand why you watch it, what would be the first episode that would come to your mind to show him? Mine would be "A Hearth's Warming Tail", since it does not spoiler too much (apart from twily being an alicorn in a castle, but I'm pretty sure they won't pay much attention to that detail), and it basically doesn't feature the "real" characters for the most part, or doesn't involve any important backstory. It has a good animation, and the songs are catchy, while the story is also quite solid. What would be your pick to show someone?

Well, MLP already was made in 1982. Other than that, Pokemon is an adventure anime, meaning you can just throw random new adventure plots at people, while you expect some development in MLP, since it is quite a slice of life cartoon (yes, even if there are ponies involved)

If I really had to choose my favorites of the show, I'd say: The Magic Inside, Smile Song, Every song in "A hearth's warming tail", Every song in "pinkie pride" This Day Aria, In Our Town (I have no idea why) If I had to choose from the EQG movies I'd say: EQG songs. Yes, I do love all of them equally. If I had to choose from an album (so, neither EQG or the main series), I'd say: Days Gone By Raise this Barn (I Am Orange Remix, on the DJ-Pon-3 album) It's a Pony Kind of Christmas Jolly ol' St. Nick (I love Spike's singing) Tricks up my sleeve (the full version on the soundtrack album of rainbow rocks)

Can't agree more. I want this show to continue forever.
