What would you think about an anime version of MLP?

[Tao 7,749]

I have found many fan mangas/comic

of MLP and it is one those shows that

could translate well into the anime theme

of things given well, its traits and style

it has now..

Hmm, I'm not too sure. It could be successful. Over in Japan. Really, though Anime is pretty hit-or-miss here in the west. I don't care for Anime. We'll never know for sure, because it's extremely unlikely.

I wouldn't watch it.

 

Neither would I care, as long as it wouldn't affect the original show.

I would be interested in an anime version of the show mostly because I would be interested to see the artwork and the animation style of the show. Though I think the most important thing for creators to have great story lines, writing, and voice actors to play out the roles. There's no point of watching a show that's visually stunning if the writing and acting is not up to par. 

[Christmasy Britty 2,553]

it depends on the story cause no matter how pretty an anime is it could have a very crappy story so that's my opinion on it

[Wulfgar Von Heltzer 42]

I dunno, I think the show's style would be very fitting for anime, TBH, so I think I'd be fine with it.

It is already an anime, we just call it cartoon here in the west. Anime is a word Japanese use for everything that is animated. We have just been selective about the word anime because japanophilia is the reason for it, which is why when we say anime, it means shows from Japan that is animated. Not to be offensive to people who likes anime.

I would watch an anime remake of MLP if it was good.

I can't imagine it would be any good. Most Anime are mainstream and very similar to one another. It would be japanese and they scream almost all the time, way over the top. They would make these typical and annoying Anime faces like this ><. The eyebrows and eyes would clip through the hair... The male characters would try to spy on bathing female ponies. Or the male protagonist would "accidentally" fall into a female one, while touching their private parts. It would be mostly about battles otherwise, always yelling the names of their special attacks before attacking. The opening music would sound very bad and annoying, they always change the voices, it doesn't sound natural or good at all. A character like Apple Bloom would be 1,000 years old and she would 100% trying to seduce her brother. Or they make something japanese with Granny Smith, she is probably just a robot and a "young and hot" Ms. Smith is inside of it. She would kill the enemies with her "apples" in a perverted way.

Please, in the name of Celestia, just have your own identity and make something actually good. Typical Anime would ruin that. They always do.

Just my opinion of course.

I’ve never been an anime person so I think it would probably lose me there.

I think a MLP show in an anime style could be pretty good. Just think of the Sanrio/Hello Kitty cutesy aesthetic. In fact, Hasbro has a history of licensing franchises to Japan. Just look at some of these toys from the 80s!

If it were to go full blown mainstream anime tropes, of course it would be complete ass, but I doubt that's the sort of thing they'd go for first. Remember! This is a toy company first, and a brony pandering machine second!

Now this type of anime would be pretty neat to see! 

I wouldn’t mind a pony anime as long as it doesn’t go too crazy. We already have pony manga so maybe it would be something like that.
