Ive watched this show for years, it has very good lessons that have serious topics, growing up it has taught me to genuinely be a better person, the characters are writen amazing my favourite character is rainbow dash but the rest of the main 6 are very well writen dynamics even if they're considered cliche, the animation is also nice to look at, extra, my one complaint that is the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is that Spike who is said to be a baby dragon threw out the show multiple times, has a crush on a adult woman, and this is a common thing in shows because young kids often and crushes on older people, but in those shows the older person is ether oblivious or tells them that they're too old for them, and rarity (the older person) knows spike has a crush on her and continues, to lead him on UNTIL SEASON 9. it takes the whole show to finish until they address this. Over all though I would recommend this show to everyone, thank you for the childhood memories.
