So what exactly do you find so amazing about MLP?
I can say that the animations are all exceptionally cute and the characters are quite believable. The only character I don't really get is Rarity. She embodies materialism and ellegance combined with generosity, but for me there seems to be something missing to make her character believable. It just seems so shallow, like I never got to know the real her through all the episodes. I wonder if that's intentional.
The only real benefit I got from watching the show is that I feel more ready now for having a daughter some day. I have actually never seen a show that deals with so many problems that young girls encounter while growing up in such a high density. [URL=

All of that in just 22 minutes. That's actually quite amazing imho.
