At times, it's slow. But, for the most part, it's the best! Ugh, I love this show more than Pokemon. I've balled my eyes out on so many occasions. Plus, the characters are actually pretty awesome looking, despite the simplicity of it all. Going back and watching this has definitely reminded me of my childhood and how my brother and I would wake up early to watch the show. Great times and a great show. Highly recommend watching it. You'll learn the true power of friendship... without ponies.
