Well, what is there to be said about My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? It was already more sophisticated than previous generations of the My Little Pony brand thanks to its well-written stories, lovable characters, hilarious comedy, and morals that we can relate to. What no one expected were the male followers, dubbed as “Bronies”. I could go on about that, but I think everybody gets the picture: it’s a “little girl’s show” that appeals to both genders.
