What do you think of the Apple Bloomers April Fools joke? Would you watch it?

[Chibibrony 6]

If this were real would you watch it

[Alex Z 848]

No, I would not watch it. I'm surprised Discovery even allowed this to be a promo on their channel.

[Lektra Bolt 2,337]

I want it to be real. I'm serious.

[aoEAF2FBvC0MIo2Q 3,671]

Hold up. You mean it wasn't just some fan-made video on the internet? As in it actually aired on TV?

Yep it did air on TV, here's a video.

[shy0wl 484]

I would probably watch the first episode, but I can see myself not getting into it.  Anime (if it's considered that?) isn't really something I'm into

I saw the video and I immediately thought it was an elaborate fake.

It could be a fake promo, I don't know.

It was a fake promo. Official but fake. 

[Ice Fox 1,145]

No, I would not. I honestly am disgusted by the videos.

[Odyssey 5,713]

I actually found it to be rather funny. I'd never thought MLP:FiM would parody Sailor Moon and anime in general. I'd probably even watch it if it were real, but mostly to see how ridiculous it'll get.

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

A lot of people were really put off by it, even after finding out it was a joke.

I was just surprised they actually let something so borderline air with the MLP name on it!

[Grepper 3,192]

April 31st... Hey, wait!

 

It is surprising how, er, sexualized the trailer was.

If it was real, I'd probably watch it. For da lulz, of course!

[Admiral Regulus 2,769]

I don't really know what I think of it. If it was real, it might be one of those things that I would only watch with a few beers on a really boring Friday night. XD

[xenozfan3 188]

Maybe as a 10 minute or less web series.

[Red Cedar 1,407]

I was quite surprised they let the changing sequence slide, however, that was in keeping with the kind of shows they were lampooning. In any case, the whole thing was a joke, which should have been evident by the style if not by the April 31st premiere date, so I'm going to smirk and wonder what they'll do next year.

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,298]

Not my kinda thing.  My past is littered with magical girl-type anime series; I'll not go back.  I made that sound worse than it probably is. xD  But, should this happen:

All bets are off.

[Gearbox10mm 794]

I liked the joke. Bloomers is another name for female underwear, so we get Applebloom in her "bloomers". Clever.

 

I'd watch for the lolz.

IIRC it never actually aired. Everything about the video was fan-made; made to look EXACTLY like it would on TV, but not actually be on TV. Heck, even the announcer was convincing.

 

There is no way Hasbro would allow that to air, IMO.

I don't know one way or the other because I don't get Discovery Family, but that seems to make more sense. The video is pretty racy for MLP; why would they risk controversy for a mere April Fools' prank?

Not to mention that there was a second clip with Apple Blooms shirt off. Granted there was nothing to see, but considering the general age of the character that would still be dangerous stuff for a company like Hasbro to try.

[Grepper 3,192]

I guess it's proven to be fake, now: it's even on the MLP Fan Labor Wiki.

[chirox the pony 1,334]

*Phew* At least it was a fan parody and did not air on TV, still though Applebloom is depicted as like what 13, isn't that kinda sick? 

[Star Saber 114]

Nope nope nope nope nope nope, so much nope.

[Starlight Fan 538]

According to an older version of a script. Apple Bloom is 7. (I can't remember where I read that, but I'm sure I read that.) Therefore, nope nope nopeity nope nope *nopes away*
