@Jake's: ...the thing is, until we have more to go on than their cast lists (which are all short, aside from Pinkie's cast of Mimori Suzuko), I can't confirm or deny that. Mimori's a decent actress from what I've heard, but the other three have done practically nothing aside from
Tantei Opera Milky Holmes, so I really can't dispute what that guy's saying. It certainly is a suspicious casting choice.

I really don't think they'll be humiliating Diamond and Silver. Putting how Gilda was treated aside (and that was mostly accidental), the show's message is very much love and toleration, and I particularly despise the 'humiliate the Libby/popular kids with their own tactics, then claim a moral victory' trope. It's a very childish, high-school mentality.
Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.
@Yeller: Oh hey, I think that's my first Post of the Day.
^He might have a valid point, though. The casting of four unknowns (well, three unknowns and a considerably small-time name), all from the same popular
moe sugarpuff, is suspicious.

I'm not sure suspicious is the right word. Maybe "disconcerting."
I don't know anything about that show, so I'll just wait and see.
@Wryte: Well, suspicious or disconcerting, it does smack of slapping names that are well-known to a certain demographic and few others onto an unrelated show to attempt to attract members of that demographic. Japan's no stranger to substanceless 'cute girls doing cute things' shows, and while that's not necessarily a
bad thing, I don't know as that'd be my first choice for FiM. I'm not saying we need
Sawashiro Miyuki,
Inoue Marina,
Koshimizu Ami and
Hanazawa Kana on the show, but still.

Have you seen Nazuna? If anyone's Fluttershy, it's her.
You may be right. I may be crazy.
But it just may be a Lunatic you're looking for.
Ponified
Azumanga Daioh:
Sakaki: Earth Pony, for sports ability
Kagura: Also Earth Pony, same reasons
Yomi: Unicorn, to be academic
Tomo:
DumbPegasus, because why be flighty if you can't do it literally
Chiyo: Pegasus, because she needs something to fly with and pigtails won't cut it
Osaka: Earth Pony, because it works for Pinkie

Just as long as it doeesn't go Madoka. Of course, Hasbro would never let them do that.

Hello everyone, I see I missed nothing I might have contributed to.
Oh, the thread? Don't worry, it's just dead
.
I'm sitting here sketchin'. Getting back in touch with mah pencil roots. No ponies though.
@Red: I'd make Chiyo a unicorn as well. The entire point of the flying pigtails thing was that it was weird, after all.
