Seeing some of it. When traditional drawings where canon. They seem mother friendly in it, thats how i can explain it.

I am actually a G1 fan so I did in fact see most of the G1 cartoons and it is actually the best generation aside from G4. It has its flaws, it can get a bit cheesy at times and Megan can come off as a tad Mary Sueish but it has some surprisingly dark villains like Tirek and Grogar that have been the inspiration for both Nightmare Moon and King Sombra. G1 Tirek wanted to use his Rainbow of Darkness to bring about the "night that never ends" and could also use it to turn ponies into dragons to pull his flying chariot and was stopped by the Rainbow of Light (sound familiar). Grogar was an evil king who was turned into a goat monster thanks to being corrupted by dark magic and was sealed along with his kingdom of Tambelon for give or take a few centuries.

I notice that it had more innocence back then and the idea of pure kindness by simply watching it. Pretty adorable ponies though, even if it has a different style.

I've seen Rescue at Midnight Castle and Florie Fugitives I believe it was called.

 

The aesthetics worked well and it did have good atmosphere. The environments were more detailed which definitely worked to its benefit in comparison to G4's more plain style.

Im another one of the ones who enjoyed watching G1 back in the day.

 

Just keep in mind, the 80's was a whole different game over todays standards. But for the most part it was good for what it was.

I watched one of the movies three years ago. I thought it was surprisingly decent. However, it just screamed "80s".

Watching this makes me think how lonely i actually am without any friends nearby. Since most are far away. But what i like is how someone will cheer someone up when they feel bad about something. I think in real life its not so predictable or easy, or its sorta in a different way. But the idea is to try and do your best i feel.

So very 80s (which is not a good thing in my book, just clarifying =P)... But... I can't dislike it for that. It was all well worth my time, and I really enjoyed Wind Whistler as a character!

Wasn't a fan then (what little I saw of it in the 90's), not a fan now.

 

But do I hate it? No. I've seen worse. It just doesn't interest me at all. Its animation and voice acting annoy me.

Rainbow Rocks... at least how it could've looked... in a stranger, more interesting dimension :lol:

For those who are wondering, Twilight is chewing bubble gum.

You mean the ponies' squeaky nasally ass voices? Yeah, that was unforgettable.

I actually watched it retroactively. It's not actually "terrible" like some people make it out to be. It's watchable, but nothing groundbreaking or amazing. It was the 80s, so you have to take it with a huge grain of salt. Animation was not as great back then, and voice acting wasn't exactly something where you hired a ton of people who had craploads of experience like today.

I really adore gen 1 in some way. I am absolutely in love with My Little Pony Tales.

Its also the fact that some of the soundtrack in My Little Pony Tales kinda makes me think of Soul Calibur 3 Character Creation. Atleast at one certain spot in the OST.

 

Its a shame it gets foreshadowed, because its a nice experience i feel to be enjoyed in its own way :twi:
