Remember how she couldn't open a jar in MMDW?

Considering she almost bit through a wooden beam in Lesson Zero, she'd probably be a good bottle opener if you don't plan on reusing the bottle.

Most bottles aren't made out of wood.
If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot right now.

Anypony can smash a bottle. The hard part is opening it in a nondestructive manner.

Go on. Break the bottle. See how it feels. It'll feel nice. Go on. Break it!

So apparently My Little Pony is getting released in Japan.

Cool. I think it'll have an even easier time getting an adult following in Japan than over here. It's already pretty similar to one of their Moe shows except without all the things about Moe that make me want to claw my eyes and ears out.

@Bluespade: It would be rather sad if they didn't like it because it wasn't like their normal Moe shows (which I don't think I have ever actually seen). Then again I do think it is a viable possibility.

Yeah I think that's a definite possibility. I remember everyone thought Avatar: The Last Airbender was a guaranteed sell over there, and it ended up flying completely under the radar. People are hard to predict. MLP does actually have a Japanese fanbase already, though it is probably still very small.
I looked up each of the seiyus listed and I didn't recognize a single one of their roles. I guess that's not surprising since I haven't watched much anime for years now.

Bushiroad, the company that is bringing the show over to Japan, owns Tantei Opera Milky Holmes. I am not a fan of Moe but I did like the actresses singing in the Milky Holmes anime openings.

I think I remember something about shows with casts consisting entirely of talking animals typically being looked down upon as preschool fare in Japan, but I could just be misremembering. The show probably has its own set of cultural stigmas to overcome in Japan, in any case.

I think the issue with Avatar was that while it was very well done (imo) it really did not have much to distinguish itself from long standing Shonen and similar series. that and the kind of series it is really is not all that big among Japanese anime fans at the moment.
Fi M doesn't quite have this problem as much and it does conform somewhat to what's currently popular in Japan, but there is still the possibility that it will either be too different or not different enough.
I do believe that is also another issue, but I'm not so certain.

@ Lurker: I remember hearing that too. I don't think FIM will suffer too much from that because it is a kid's show in the first place, though still for kids a little older than that.

You're supposed to post Slowpony when you say stuff like that.

Doesn't Japan have an even bigger Animation Age Ghetto?
