5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Great Episodes For A Very Fair Price November 30, 2012

By The Black Metal Wolf

First off let me address that this dvd has 5 episodes, not 2 like another reviewer mentioned.

That being said, the episodes included are:

The Crystal Empire, Part 1
The Crystal Empire, Part 2
Sonic Rainboom
Luna Eclipsed
It's About Time

These are some of my favorite episodes so for me this a great little set, and the dvd is very fairly priced to boot. There isn't a whole lot else to say, if you like the show, buy this and support future releases!

EDIT: When I wrote this review, the price of the dvd was $6.99. Currently, the dvd has seemingly doubled in price. This might change your opinion on whether it is worth the money or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Blend of Anime and any Cartoon from 90s(you name it)! All wrapped up in a supposedly, "Only for Girls Show"! September 7, 2012

This is just a review on why this show is so awesome, when this dvd comes out I will place a more appropriate review on the actual episodes of this particular dvd. : )

So while we wait, here is some background for those of you who are curious as to why this show is so popular around the internet and globe.

I'll start my review with a little background about me and how I realized the awesomeness that is My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (MLP:FiM).

First a little bit about me, I am a college student studying electrical engineering at SDSU and cute shows like MLP:FiM help me unwind especially since course work is getting harder. I am senior for pony sake! I am an avid anime fan that loves in particular very "moe" ,extremely cute, anime. It is an acquired taste : ) Some examples of shows I like would be Mahoraba ~ Heartful Days ~, Ore No Imouto ga Konnani kawaii wake ga nai, Working!!, Ruby Gloom, Pokemon, Azumanga Diaoh, and Yuru Yuri. I also like plenty of cartoons shows back from the 90s such as, Dexters Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Ed, Edd and Eddy, the Flintstones, the Jetsons, Hey Arnold, etc... All shows are awesome in their own right, but I have to say that My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic steals the top spot in my list now. I can't believe it, but it so rightly deserves to be so. It takes everything about anime I like, it takes everything I like about cartoons and disney I like, melds them together perfectly. Ask yourself is that even possible? For that achievement alone this show should receive major props, I thought it would never be possible.

I first realized My Little Pony Friendship is Magic during one of my study sessions at college. I was finished with homework and I decided that I deserved a break so I did what I usually did I looked up some information on the latest Anime coming out from Japan. I'm a big anime fan all the way back since Pokemon. Anyways, as I was surfing around on the internet on my favorite website animeph.com which by the way is the best place to go if you like cute animation like MLP:FiM. I get all my "moe" anime fix there. If you like the adorable eyes of the ponies and you like anime that website would be heaven for you as well. On one of the forums, I noticed some people chatting about My Little Pony, as I continued to read their chats it intrigue me. Are they talking about the little girl's show back from the 90s? Why would teens let alone boys like it? Isn't too girly? So I decided to investigate myself and I looked around for the first episode and from there I was hooked, and the cuteness meter in my head blew up! So 52 episodes later, I became a bonafide fan. I couldn't get enough of it, and I'm anxiously waiting for the third season.

Why is My Little Pony Friendship is Magic so awesome? Well all have their own reason to like the show, but for me I think what won me over was the "90s-esque" cartoon dialogue in combination with the cute art style. That is the combination that practically gave me an awesomeness overdose. It is no surprise to me why this show has a older audience following for one it is reminiscent of the cartoons in the 90's were dialogue and jokes were smart and witty unlike today's cartoon's were most jokes are dumb and/or just plain weird. One other main aspect that sets this cartoon apart is the awesome voice actresses that really give all the characters depth, voice alone! It is a treat just to hear them talk, it blew my mind and it can only be witnessed when you watch the show. To top it off, since MLP:FiM is an all family show it is compatible with any age group! Great dialogue, characters, awesome musical shorts, and an educational value puts MLP:FiM above all the rest of this generation cartoons. MLP:FiM is simply a treat to watch.

So do yourself a favor preorder this dvd. Everypony is doing it! : D
