Did MLP open your mind to other girl's shows?

[RainbowMau 291]

I know that FiM isn't focused to be as girly as another past MLP generations, but did it change the way you see the girls' shows?

 

I honestly was already open to them much before FiM was aired, I used to watch girls' animes like Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Mirmo Zibang, Tokyo Mew Mew and others and I loved them, and in Western animation I add WITCH, Winx Club and the last two generations of Strawberry Shortcake (of course the current one is not as musical as the previous one) I currently also sometimes watch Lalaloopsy, though I liked Lala-Oopsies movie more (which BTW is aired in the same channel as MLP here)

 

However MLP opened my mind in some way, and I give them a chance even more than before.

Not particularly. I watched cartoons before that and I still don't particularly like most girl's shows. I think the reason I caught on is because they're horses. If they had of been people I probably wouldn't like it half as much.

[Discordian 6,015]

I'm a cartoon enthusiast. Target audience has never mattered to me in the first place.

 

So no. It didn't change me in any great way.

[Scootalove 10,689]

Not really. I watched cartoons that were classified as girl shows long before I watched My Little Pony, I wasn't exactly against gender-based shows anyway.

[Zekromic 1,054]

Considereing that I used to watch Sailor Moon, Candy Candy, Sakura Card Captors.......... can't say it did

[Silver Letter 1,832]

I might end up trying the new Sailor Moon but probably more because it is an eastern animation.

[CT-1138 3,182]

Actually, no. I've always held story above all when it comes to entertainment, and one of the earlier "girl shows" I partook in was W.I.T.C.H. It was actually a pretty well thought out show and it didn't rely too heavily on the girly side of it to tell a good story. 

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

Not entirely. I was into Powerpuff Girls and I liked Sailor Moon when it was shown (and was teased for both at times), so no.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,348]

I already am a girl, so I was pretty open even before I watched MLP. However, I don't watch that many other shows anymore, but it's not because I don't like shows for girls. MLP is probably one of the best I've seen though.

I'm open but most of them lack this shows quality and put me off before I get a few minutes in. Forget that.

[Pinkamena-Pills 6,839]

Nope. I use to watch Salior Moon,Powerpuff Girls and Totally Spies which im assuming were considered 'girl shows'.

 

You won't catch me watching Barbie or Strawberry Shortcakes tho. *cringes*    

[Pastel 7,630]

Yeah I've started to watch the Powerpuff Girls thanks to MLP:FiM. I think I would have never watched this show otherwise.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

It actually did. Barbie of all things. Andrea Libman VAed in a couple of them, including one I watched at my cousins house. 

[Steve 290]

no it really hasnt. but it did make me wanna see littlest pet shop. but it was too boring

[Arctic Night 884]

Not really. One of the reasons I like MLP is that I can watch it without feeling as if my brain is dissolving.

[Paleopony 703]

Yes. I've opened up to Cardcaptor Sakura, She-ra and the Princesses of Power, The Powerpuff Girls, and Sailor Moon because of MLP.

[Sasoriman 139]

It did, but I was watching preschool-aimed shows before MLP. It was a gradual shift from the by-the-numbers sitcoms Nick and Disney were gurgling up in the 2010s to what, for me, was like a renaissance of gentle and way less cynical kids' shows, girly or otherwise gender-neutral.

MLP opened my mind to watching MLP and that's it. All my current favorites could probably qualify as "girls' cartoons" if you wanted to assign a gender to them for some reason, but I got in to them because they're just really good.

[Steve Piranha 29,429]

Not really. I’m no stranger to more girly forms of media way before ponies. MAYBE being more open to more cutesy forms of media is more accurate  (like Hamtaro. I’m still beating myself for not watching it once I found out they are voiced by ponies. All because I was an edgelord brat )

[Tao 7,917]

I've always watched mix media and never really seen media for boys/girls even as a kid. I grew up on the 90's X-men,  batman,  superman,  and other forms on Saturday morning.  I will watching something if its my brain and I like it.  

[Splashee 28,566]

I have always been into good shows, no matter if they are for girls or not.

 

But.... No, I haven't found another girl show that I like quite as much as MLP. (I am not constantly looking for shows either)
