SteveMorison 407 August 27, 2015 Author Share August 27, 2015 'Children's Cartoon' is what it's probably under.Yes but children's cartoons have different genre's too. Spongebob is a comedy where as DragonBall Z is an action/anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroCool 3 August 27, 2015 Share August 27, 2015 Yes but children's cartoons have different genre's too. Spongebob is a comedy where as DragonBall Z is an action/anime. Amazon Prime just lumps them all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormghost 136 August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 Why am i think MLP:FiM is getting to be non-children cartoon? because of the brony fandoms? Egyptian/Fardilian brony, Leader & Mastermind of Project: FORM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponylaces 1,870 August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 I'd say comedy and fantasy with slice of life. I honestly can't come up with a primary genre for the show, it just has so many. hello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphys Hedge 671 August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 Comedy, fantasy, many genres Why am i think MLP:FiM is getting to be non-children cartoon? because of the brony fandoms?

Stormghost 136 August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 Also, the future of my little pony, it will may be a completely non-childern cartoon, that would be.... Egyptian/Fardilian brony, Leader & Mastermind of Project: FORM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwanky 17,643 August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 It's a fantasy linear story with element of comedy and sitcom. FiM has many more serious elements as well, and plot is constantly progressing, so its not static like many sitcoms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubeSock2018 325 August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 According to wiki, it's adventure fiction, conedy, and high fantasy. That sounds about right. Because even the slice of life episodes would be categorized under fantasy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidral Mundet 1,666 August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 I'd argue the series is low fantasy overall with the two-parters being closer to high fantasy. 1 Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyNamedEarl 1,332 August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 It's more fantasy with some adventure thrown in Creator of MLP Ruined Vines and Recorder Sh*t Equestria's Biggest Hip-Hop Nerd Everyday is Leg Day! Follow me on Twitter: @EarlBrony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlikeable Pony 2,699 August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 I'd argue the series is low fantasy overall with the two-parters being closer to high fantasy. agreed there. Except for the "special" ponies like Alicorns or master unicorns, the other ponies seem to live fairly mundanely without much flashy magic. They do occasionally slip in some "Sufficiently advanced magic" things like the anti-magic screening system at the equestria games, but most ponies, even unicorns, seem to live fairly modestly and normally.

Pastel 7,630 August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 (edited) It's mainly a "slice of life" show: it deals with problems we face everyday, and it focuses on friendship. Edited August 28, 2015 by Blobulle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlikeable Pony 2,699 August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 It's mainly a "slice of life" show: it deals with problems we face everyday, and it focuses on friendship. True that. the overwhelming majority of the episodes are slice of life, with even the adventure episodes focusing on a lesson instead of just winning via violence or whatnot (like DPDOMS where the tantabus is defeated by luna learning a lesson). that being said, I've noticed that the adventure and fighting episodes have increased DRAMATICALLY; season 1 and 2, aside from the finale or premiers, pretty much straight slice of life, while Season 4 and 5 we've gotten a decent amount of monster/antagonist episodes with a threatening force.

PacificGreen 1,163 September 8, 2015 Share September 8, 2015 (edited) It's hard to put it into one genre, so I just go for children's-fantasy-adventure-slice-of-life. It's a little bit of everything in a kid's show. Kind of like shaved ice with all the toppings on it...which I could totally go for right now. EDIT: Accidentally said "gender" instead of "genre"...was just on a gender-related thread.

Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,934 September 8, 2015 Share September 8, 2015 I'd say a fantasy slice of life comedy show with adventurous elements and probably one of the greatest in that genre I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlikeable Pony 2,699 September 8, 2015 Share September 8, 2015 Its funny to compare Season 1 to current FIM, y'know? After the first 2 episodes FIM pretty much dropped all its magical girl elements and had very little adventure or fighting. Season 2 and 3 had a little with the premiers and finales, but past that same old same old. season 4 and season five however seem to have jumped headfirst into increasing the amount of adventure and action episodes though, with things like Power ponies, Do princesses dream of magical sheep, and an increased focus on the magical girl aspect of the show with meta-plots for the seasons.

Jangocoolguy 433 September 8, 2015 Share September 8, 2015 Children's Fantasy, with a lot of Slice of Life Comedy, with some Action/Adventure elements thrown in for good measure.
