I'm a big MLP fan and I haven't really checked out this series before but after I finished the main show I decided to watch this and it is amazing. I've finished the first season and about to start the second and it was above my expectations. Like the original series, it teaches you about friendship and working together. I would say this is a good alternative if you aren't a fan of the original. Really wished they made atleast another two seasons, it's really nice.
