Discussion: Why Do You Think Friendship is Magic Has Been So Successful?

Friendship is Magic has been a huge influence on kids TV over the last decade that it has dominated. Even I have seen multiple show ideas bug our fandom asking what they like most before they even begin production. Pretty much every revamp after the success of pony has had qualities that borrow from it. From the animation design, to shifting shows that would usually be cringy, mindless childrens TV to actually have real plot and characters with higher production quality. Especially with their more comedic elements.

Many flop though. Even if they pull off the slightly edgy humor and pacing pony provides, they don't have the same appeal. This cartoon really was the perfect storm.

Personally, I've always attributed it to the design of the pony models themselves, but it's definitely not the only thing.

What do you think made this show such a hit?

MLP Fan Game OST Music: KhazainMusic - Maradise Isle Demo Official Soundtrack

Finally I get to post music like this! For those who, like me, didn't know about this pony fan game inspired by Final Fantasy, Golden Sun and others, Maradise Isle is a 2D retro J-RPG-like game set in the MLP universe (trailer here) that has got such a delightfully classic story premise that gets you excited to see the story unfold and roam the land to meet new companions and party members! What's more, its OST is of untold beauty, reminiscent of the melodic and progressive style of the music of such J-RPG games that the game was inspired by, and of the works of Motoi Sakuraba in particular (Star Ocean, Valkyrie Profile, Infinite Undiscovery...) with the amazing and epic use of choirs. KhazainMusic definitely did wonderful with this labor of love, composing for one year, as it resulted in such an incredible OST full of epic and emotional tracks! And I'm sure they feel even greater when you listen to them while playing the game... That's the special power of OST music! A demo of the game is available now from the devs' official website, full release date TBA!

[Adventure][Romance]

Author: LaWombat

Description:

No important political meetings to attend? Check! No letters to answer? Check! A magical and child-safe gift for Flurry Heart that she's sure to love? Check!

Her schedule was clear. Shining and Cadence were off on vacation. She'd prepared all her materials. Twilight Sparkle was more than ready to spend a fun-filled weekend babysitting her favorite niece.
But she wasn't prepared for King Sombra's return. Nopony could prepare to be trapped with him inside a storybook of fairy tales.

And nopony's ever ready for an unhappy ending...

Pony Concept Music: SDreamExplorerS - Oblivion Highway [Prog Rock/Prog Metal]

The master of deep and heartfelt pony Metal is back with a new album in continuation of the series! It will be released on May 1st and in physical CD versions too as usual from the musician. To kick off the countdown, SDreamExplorerS presents us Oblivion Highway, a refreshing, melodic, and delightfully progressive piece that soothes the mind with some Latin style influence, blissful bass play, exotic percussions, and still heavy riffs for a grand and unique musical experience like we're not used to hear in the community! Icing on the cake, the deep story behind this track, explained in the description, is quite relatable and as always, contributes to the immersion in SDreamExplorerS' pony world that is expressed all throughout this album series...
