About
"Kids' cartoon that earned unlikely adult devotion"
Six ponies in the magical land of Equestria learn about friendship through gentle, self-contained adventures that often double as lessons for kids without talking down to adults. What starts as a simple, colorful kids' show grows surprisingly clever, with sharp jokes, real emotional stakes, and a devoted cross-generational fanbase who found more craft here than the premise suggests. Pacing is episodic and breezy, tone is warm and earnest, and the writing carries it well past what the pastel exterior implies.
Watch it for
the surprisingly sharp writing and character growth that won over audiences well beyond its target age.
Maybe skip if
you can't get past the aggressively cute, kid-first presentation.

The second season of animated television series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, developed by Lauren Faust, originally aired on Hub Network in the United States.

Season 2 of the series premiered on September 17, 2011, on Hub Network, an American pay television channel partly owned by Hasbro.
The show follows a studious unicorn pony named Twilight Sparkle as her mentor Princess Celestia guides her to learn about friendship in the town of Ponyville. Twilight becomes close friends with five other ponies: Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie.
