Directly comparing it to Tell Your Tale, I think I prefer Pony Life. Pony Life is very different tonally from FIM. Tell Your Tale is much closer to the G5 movie and specials in tone, so just feels like a short version of that with vastly inferior visuals.
 
I only now finally watched Season 2 of Pony Life. I like the way the episodes flow into each other, though it does make it hard to recall anything after viewing. Season 1 was the same in that. It’s like the FIM characters having season-long fever dreams.

The episodes are short and therefor less painful so they win by default. I’m not just being funny, I’m having a hard time muddling through my feelings on TYT, but at least I finished every episode so far, I can’t say the same for PL.

@ANoobis  
I’ve seen enough to know I still like PL better. The plots don’t seem to be anything amazing, just cutesy gags. Except I hate TYT’s art style. PL wins simply on aesthetics. Also I don’t care for the new voice cast, but I seem to be in the minority on that.

Now that Tell Your Tale is releasing episodes, how does Pony Life compare?

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who finds disgusting or at least uncomfortable the Calart style. The original series had an amazing style, better than the previous generations, making character designs with so much personality, brilliance, and charisma. Is a shame seeing this spin-off falling in generic designs, also reinforcing the prejuices people have about reboots and spin-offs. Anyway, the designs are the less of the problems I have with the series, however is still good seeing someone with the same point of view.

I guess the same reason Starlight became a main recurring character. Hasbro likes her name and wants to make toys of her.

One of the things that’s struck me as I’ve been going through this show is Twilight’s hero worship of Potion Nova. After Celestia, Luna and Starswirl, how is Potion Nova intimidating to her?

Calarts is like being given a participation trophy. You didn’t even try to put effort into it, you was given that opportunity to worked on this Popular I.P. with a cult following “Just because.”  
Meanwhile all the talented animators who put effort to give us something worth a watch are on youtube. Getting killed off by the algorithm like it the Omaha Beach.

I watched season 1 of Pony Life.
 
It is very shallow. However, it doesn’t commit any mortal sins and is not directly contemptuous like some episodes of late FIM. As for the comedy, it is much less funny than most comedic moments in FIM.
 
Overall, if one truly has nothing better to do, it won’t damage your mind/soul/whatever to watch it.

The character designs are mediocre.
 
But Twilight is still adorable. Also; she lives in a tree; as nature intended.
 

I kinda like it. It has this over the top style and humour while retaining the overall heart of what made Friendship Is Magic great.

Only reason I’ve been watching it is because it gives me and my friend something to talk about on our weekly Discord voice chats. If we didn’t have it, then I would’ve ignored it completely.

I really liked the look. I really liked TTG’s look too,though…

The art is objectively horrible. I tried to watch it but can’t get passed just how horrible it looks.

There’s a couple good ones in there,but yeah as a whole it definitely aims younger.

I watched Pony Life out of curiosity and I couldn’t watch more than a couple of minutes before I had to quit.  
I can’t say it’s bad series, but it’s obviously made for very, very little children so it goes without saying that it was never meant for me.

I started watching it, but I’m not that far in yet. The fact that everyone has the same spastic personality isn’t great, but I’ve been hearing that they tone it down a bit later on, so I’m reserving judgment. So far the biggest thing sticking out to me is Spike’s voice. It throws me every time I hear him talk.

I’ve been watching Pony Life and it’s okay. Initially, I had very low expectations on it like other people did, and it had a terrible first impression on me. I soldiered on and now I think it’s not bad once they dialed back on the zaniness.

I haven’t watched Pony Life, so I don’t really have an opinion on it.

Just cause it’s for kids doesn’t mean we suddenly lose all our standards.

@Anonymous #E5FF  
That doesn’t mean we have to be complacent and just accept whatever they give us with no opinion. I’ve actually been enjoying Pony Life,but if it was garbage quality,I’d say it. Now if they specifically made a pre-school style show like Dora The Explorer,then I’d have to adjust my expectations a bit.

hasbro is going to do what is going to do we can not stop it their mane audience are kids not us
