To many, this show, due to its appearance, may initially seem to be some MLP rip-off, but if you know not to judge a book by its cover and you get to reading, you'll discover that it is not the case. The two shows are very different. I found myself enjoying this show much more than MLPFIM for many reasons. The writing and storytelling I found to be much more clever, the 3D style of the show feels somewhat nostalgic, the background music is some of the best I've heard in an animated series, the villain characters are far more present in episodes, etc. I may be a little bias due to my liking for media containing cute characters when I say that this show is amazingly good, but anyways, at least let me say that this show is definitely worth giving a shot if you like that sort of thing.
