Opinions on anthro-ponies?

Well, I generally like them, but sometimes the anime cliché of giving them way too large breasts or under-clothing them goes way too far.

 

....not that I mind.

I fell in love with the show, because of normal ponies. Pfft, doesn't matter what you like about them, they're the same characters, but I enjoy them for what they were before the great increase of anthro's, yo!

I enjoy a lot of them, for they're are a lot of clothes, styles and ways that they are drawn that brings a lot of justice to the characters and their personalities. For example, one of my personal favorites:

But, I also equally enjoy the ponies in a non-anthro form, but just drawn to be on thier hind legs. I think it's kinda cute how they're drawn that way.

I'm not a fan of anthros. I personally think human shape is ugly and that's why I don't get why people would try to give hands, breast or feet to animals. To each their thing but I prefer the original pony design. As Chaotic Discord pointed out, we can draw the ponies on their hind legs without turning them into humans.

I actually find them to be very appealing, of course I love the normal ponies, but it's good to have a variety of styles to enjoy :)

 

The addition of clothes is pretty cool as well, I mean you could add anything you'd like, and it adds to the overall personality. They're also adorable, so overall I definitely love anthro ponies :)

Technically the ponies in MLP: FIM are anthro already, since anthropomorphic means "sharing the characteristics of humans." They talk, make facial expressions, and are capable of human emotion.

 

I don't know whether I like the kind of art style you're talking about or not though. I had a strange run in with the furry fandom in ye olden days, but there's still this shred of interest in the whole thing that keeps me wanting more of it. I dunno

 

And I seem to be warming up to humanized art a lot more lately too. I used to hate it... I guess since I just see it all over the place I'm getting used to it

They ALL look the same, no originality. Rainbow Dash has punk hair style and probably a shirt that doesn't completely cover her, AJ...also has a shirt that doesn't completely cover her, and Pinkie Pie...wears a pink dress. Wow. Creative.

 

OHHH, anthro, not humanized. I hate anthro. That's just gross looking.

Interesting question. The ponies themselves are cute. The fully human version of them are even more so:

I just never could appreciate the in-between stage, though.

Anthros can look awesome if done right, but a lot are not done right.

 

Good, in my opinion

Less than good, in my opinion.

I loathe them. I hate it when people take beloved characters I've come to be familar with and transform them into (ugh) humans.

What i hate about it is that its mostly clopping material (which isnt my thing). I might be wrong about this, but I've rarely seen pics like those posted above. In general i dont mind. If someone likes it, have fun, its just not my thing.

I don't mind humanizations of the ponies. You can actually get some decent interpretations. But anthro-ponies just look....awkward. And It's not like I hate anthro's in general because I love things like Sonic and Star Fox but anthro-ponies look like the artist didn't know if they wanted to draw normal ponies or a humanization so they kinda did both.

Just going to say that I dislike anthro-ponies (or any other subject) cause... it looks so weird...

 

Don't mind (fully) humanized ponies. Hell, they are awesome in my opinion! Or some are, at least... and I prefer them not overly hot and stuff to the point it's out of character.

I personally think they just look plain weird as anthros, they're heads just don't look right on a humanoid body..........at least not the female ponies.

I like them, actually. Well...About as much I like other bipedal anthro critters.

Luckily, I haven't seen(or at least have been able to stray from) the NSFW ones and even found some with great 'redesigns'.

Antro ponies, or the ponies effectively made bipedal and more humanlike, are disconcerting in my eyes. I think part of it has to do with the fact that they are often hyper sexualized, and I tend to associate that with the furry fandom. Although I am not a furry hater, it just isn't my cup of tea. In truth I would find the ponies more attractive (asthetically appealing!) than their hybrid counterparts.

 

I can roll with outright humanized ponies. They too tend to get blatantly sexualized, but I don't find myself wincing quite as frequently.

So basically ponies with boobs?

I like humanized and I like normal ponies,

not a fan of anthro though.

The abnormally sized breasts planted on them looks off,

takes away the cuteness completely in my opinion.

Also I think MLP ponies have enough human qualities.

I don't like anthro art. Applying pony characteristics on the human form just look weird. And don't ever add horns/pony ears/wings (most of the time) on other-wise normal humans, I've only seen a handful that looks "right". The only pony trait on humans I accept is a cutie mark. However, I do love humanization.

 

This is the only anthro I like:

Does Fluttertaur even count as anthro though?
