- After all these years, I decided to watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and I have no regrets. The messages in this show runs so deep and has really given me a new perspective on friendship. I cannot recommend this show enough.
Thank you to my buddy, @Shadowflare, for inspiring me to watch MLP FIM. It's been an absolute pleasure watching it with you buddy. And be sure to check out his YT channel.

When a show for little girls has better writing than most adult cartoons.
Haha! Ikr! It’s crazy how this show did just that
@TheEternalSamurai I would be either twi or flutters. Also don't be lesson 0 twily. Yay you know like religions of perfection 🤖 obedience and loyal.
Case in point Velma
What's funny is this is not a unique occurrence either. I have seen many, MANY shows for girls that have fantastic writing. Almost every Pretty Cure series, Sailor Moon, Onegai My Melody, this show, the list goes on.
"Hey Lois Remember The Time When I Was In Fortnite?"
When I started watching this show months back, I was surprised by the depth given to the relationships between the characters. All the characters by themselves are pretty basic and simple, but the way they play off each other and how they learn lessons about being friendly with other is complex and interesting. The lessons are often developed from situations where the lesson the audience is suppose to learn isn't super obvious which the experience watching like you are learning along with the characters. It's good writing that most shows, even those aimed at adults, have a hard time doing well at.
I agree! What made the show so amazing is because you felt like you were on a journey with the characters. You could feel with them and learn a life lesson along with them.
TLDR it's fun and doesn't feel dumbed down much, just a little bit in season 1. It's like most sitcom shows but with more heart than a lot of them.
The good writing sets it apart from the kids shows that aim only to write for kids.
Also it should be mentioned that the amount of detail there is in the backstories of the characters is staggering for this kind of show. These are not cookie cutter characters.
I'm always like to see that MLP FIM helped someone.
Thanks so much! And thanks for watching
when i have anxiety i fall asleep to the episodes. Theres just something about the show that makes you have good feels and helps take your mind off how crappy the world can be
Oh absolutely! It’s an amazing show to help give you a break from your stressors in life, and often has healing messages that we need to hear since we were little.
Thanks for watching, and for the comment. 😉
Its amazing how the world went to shit after the show ended like wow! Yeah and the show and fandom helped me in many ways especially when it comes to depression.
It helped me in more ways than I could imagine. So glad to hear it helped you too
@@TheEternalSamurai yay
Aside from the Main 6,I think the best part of the series was that The Cutie Mark Crusaders eventually earned their cutie marks and learned the real meaning behind it.
Oh yeah, that was a remarkable episode. It really shows that after lots of time of being persistent and patient, you eventually find you true passion.
im 16 rn and i have know this show for YEARS, and out of boredom i re-watched it recently. One thing i did not recognise as a kid is how the story is so incredible....more than incredible! I can understand why MLP is a cure for depression, it certainly made me happier.
I’m 17 nearly 18, in the same boat as you 😊💗
I wanted to like the show since 2013 when my brother showed it to me, I liked what I saw but was too shy since my family would hate me for it. Last year I finally sat down and watched it and god I loved almost every moment of all 9 seasons, characters like pinkie and fluttershy are like huge comfort characters for me and just the whole vibe of the show makes me happy, I am sad I got into it after it ended but still- this show has affected me so much and I'm glad even more people are getting into it even today
That was so beautiful! Tbh I started watching MLP Gen 4 back in 2013 and the Magic of Friendship was the greatest show I ever saw. But honestly, it's been a long time since I watched it and I miss learning about the Magic of Friendship
Thanks man! Yeah, this was such a gr8 show. I can’t help to recommend it to others.
Kinda curious on what episodes you may remember watching.
@@TheEternalSamurai Oh I remember a lot of episodes that I can't keep count. But I know that Season 8 was one of my favorites
Even years later, I will still be re-watching the MLP G4 series. This is truly a legendary show. The message of the series about kindness, friendship and harmony can heal the heart and mind and make them better. Pony forever in my heart! ❤
Brohoof /)
Thanks so much for watching. Indeed, this show will forever live in my heart as well.
Brohoof =)
I watched them all in 2021. It cured me from depression... :')
Aww! Glad it had the same effect on you
I'm so happy that I'm not alone with my feelings towards the show. I'm 16 and I get so insecure about sharing my passion for mlp, all because a lot of people called me childish and immature for liking it... I only started sharing my feelings towards it because my best male friend told me he really liked the show. I remember feeling so seen and safe, being able to share what I love with someone else is something I was never able to do. Though I am a bit more secure now, only my family and closest friends know how much this show means to me, I wouldn't have it any other way.
I’ve only opened up to just a few people irl that I really love mlp, but with time, I’ll feel more secure and open to express it.
Glad you’ve gotten over your fears of expressing your love for the show
I will say: it's completely different having a close friend that also likes the show. It feels so nice not being the only one.
@@theAstarrr It really does. It changed a lot on me, I felt more confident, knowing I wasn't alone made me feel better about myself
one OF US!!!!
This was my go to after brain surgery over the last decade. (Due to a medical condition) My favourite show by far. And I’ve seen some extremely well made works.
It won't EVER be replaced. Glad to share the love!!
I agree. The show have good stories and three dimensional characters, and relatable situations despite being set in a magical fantasy setting. They have something for everyone, the kids can enjoy the moment to moment actions and shenanigans, while more grown-up people could enjoy its depth in both characters themselves and how they interact and riff off of each other. It's a show I hold close to my heart. It's helped a lot of people, including myself, and I'm glad to hear it left an impact on you too. I missed the shows heyday by miles, as I'm very new to the fandom, so seeing that people are still talking about makes me feel better. Really happy to see this video!
Awesome video as always, my friend! It’s always nice to see others find happiness and joy in the things they like, whether it be TV, Video Games, Music, etc. Im not a MLP fan personally, but I’m glad the show has helped you and many others.
Eternal for Life ❤
Thanks Jake! And thanks for making the thumbnail too 😄
I have no words to describe how bad i miss fim, it was one of my first ever fandoms
This was the first fandom I was part of since Taismo.
@@SBaby it was one of my first fandoms
This was show I was growing up with, first time watching it over 10 years ago when I was like 10. It really helped me get through childhood (it wasn't good for many reasons), learn a lot about myself, find passion with writing, fantasy stories and animation and much much more. I love G4 so much and I'll never stop. Thank you for this awesome video and have a nice day;)
This show, along side with Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series, helped me out dealing with divorce parents and other things.
this show was beautiful while it aired. I watched it while finishing college and it did help my depression alot. I go back to watch my favorite vids when i need inspiration or just good smiles and a loving moment. I wish we had more good-hearted shows like this. I loved this generation and am thankful for it :)
I watched the show for the 1st time when i was 7yrs old at the time but then re-watch it when i turned 15 i think. I actually appreciated the show more as an adult (currently 19 rn). Sure the thought of "friendship is magic" does sound like cliche and childish i cant argue with that. But if u actually take it seriously and start applying it irl friendship does makes you go far in life. You have supporters, another family to feel belong to, people that actually inspire you to be a better person which is what mlp really showed me that yes if u have real friends u can be successful and be happy at the same time.
Nothing beats having good friends and family in your life, and that’s definitely one of my big takeaways from this show too.
Glad you love the show too. Thanks for the wholesome comment 😉
Cause there cute 🥺. That and yeah the one that made me cry was the one where they talk about applejack's parents.
It's nice to hear this show is still helping people. This show was a big help to me too. I didn't have the best role models growing up and this show helped me internalize important morals and values. I got bullied pretty hard by friends and family for liking this show even when I was part of the target audience, but I don't regret watching it one bit. I rewatched the show last year while I was battling depression and it honestly saved my life
So glad to hear that the show had the same effect on you with battling depression. MLP FIM has really helped me change my outlook on many things in life for the better, and I can't thank the creators enough for making this masterpiece of a show.
Thanks for watching my vid and for the wholesome comment.
I'm brony since 2013 when the show was marked to end.... But ended only 2019. Amazing years, amazing fandom! Still a Brony and re-watching the series these days, aways surprise me how well done the chars are and how well written the history was made.
I barely watched the show, actually, I remember only watching the very first episode with my former cousin, as she was a big fan of animated shows; My Little Pony was no exception. I never really gave it a shot since I thought it wasn't the series for me. But that first episode made me appreciate it because it was genuinely good. My girlfriend is actually a fan of the show as well, and we actually watched one of the later episodes together (where three of the past villains come together) and I found it really good as well. The point is, that experience and this video made me realize that the things we love can change us. They can remind us that life is beautiful and everyone deserves to be happy. You know what makes us happy? Friends. They love you and respect no matter what, and that is beautiful. Great video Samic. Eternal for Life.
Thanks so much Akihiro! It's an amazing lesson to live life by, and definitely a lesson I needed to learn.
So glad to see you enjoy the series, what you have watched ofc. Hope you enjoy the rest of it.
I know how you feel. The first time I saw it, I really liked it. There's something about the shown that just makes you want to watch more
this show is literally therapy
It really is ^^
I started to watch the show somewhere around 2011 2012 and was mind blown of how the ponies looked so drastically different from the ponies from the 2000s but I think they gave the ponies the right look
mlp was my childhood and i always loved it it inspired me so much the show taught me a lot
ponies saved my life...
Thanks for everything...
i love to see how a ponies cartoon can cure depression...
Remember, everypony...
always, Smile...
Glad to hear it was a lifesaver for you too. It’s amazing the power that MLP has to inspire us all.
@@TheEternalSamurai yeah...
I love ponies...
thanks to your story i understand that
its not wrong loving my little pony
(Before i was questioning myself, if im a boy and its weird love my little pony?)
I think that its not weird.
i thank directly that
if wasnt for the ponies, i wouldnt be still alive.
i dream that they are my friends.
(I dont know, since that on the real life i dont have friends and i dont have a girlfriend)
If the ponies were real
And i did a message for them
I would thank them for saving my life with their magic of friendship
To twilight sparkle, thanks for made me learn about friendship (im forever alone and im on the friendzone)
to pinkie pie, thanks to made me smile (she made me happy)
to applejack, thanks to made me learn about honesty
to rainbow dash, thanks to made me learn about loyality (her personality made me love her since rainbow is my favorite character)
To fluttershy, thanks...
She is cute and shy,
kidness and goodness
And to rarity...
i dont know, her Generosity
but i still love.
For the mane six (thanks) for changing my life...
my life wouldnt be the same without them
Yes. This show does indeed have a healing power that I can’t begin to understand.
I’ve heard so many stories on how this show, including EQG has helped people with their problems. Anger management, being kind, open minded, rescuing people who considered suicide (which is something I almost did) and so many other things.
For me personally, it’s made me believe that the _Magic of Friendship_ is indeed real. It’s helped me find my faith, be more moral, and overall be a better human being. And I mean every word in this comment. Even when I have a bad day it’s helped.
So thank you Lauren Faust, thank you for having the brilliant idea for this. Even though I don’t have friends, again it’s still inspired me to be a better human being.
this teaches lessons better than inspiration channels on youtube and also because its a good show looking at the clips of it
I've seen and heard so many stories over the years, been active in the fandom since 2013 and there were and still are so many people who ponies help get through hard times and even become bronies after it. G4 is amazing and has united thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, together in harmony. Welcome to the herd!
Thanks for watching, and for welcoming me into the fandom.
Yeah, like I said in the vid, the show's really helped me get through some hard times in my life. It had the healing messages I needed to hear, and I want to share those messages with everyone.
I found your channel today and I like how easy is to listen and to follow your video idea. Nice script, good job.
Thanks so much! And you may be surprised, but my MLP vids I have uploaded thus far are unscripted.
@@TheEternalSamurai Wow! So it went naturally? That's a talent.
I think what attracted me the most of you recently videos was you honest opinion about what you get from the show. So don't be afraid to try other contents.
I hope you grow even more for this point onward. Wishing you great things in the future.
2:15 - You find out later that Twilight was ridiculed when she was a filly because of her inability to control her magic (this isn't spelled out, but it's very much implied). It used to be unstable, to the point where a shock could awaken it and cause major damage. So Celestia took her to be trained in order to control it, so that didn't happen. This is why Twilight had difficulty making friends when growing up.
good
good vibes only
it changed my life and i love it
The love I have for both the show and the community is a love I don't believe I've ever experienced in my life. I've only been a brony for 1 year and 3/4, but the amount of things this show has done for me is magical. While I wasn't dealing with something as terrible as depression, the development I've had as a person with my own personal motivations, goals, and just how I look at life has really changed thanks to the show. It's shown me the importance of passion, uniqueness, heart, and emotion, inspired me to finally start creating stories, get passionate about music, and give me the belief that what I want to do in life can AND WILL eventually happen. The amount of times I've cried (in the good way) due to this show is unbelievable to, I swear. I'm actually curious if you cried during the finale, because I definitely did. This show will always have a special place in my heart and I can't wait for whatever it does to either me or some lucky soul out there. Glad to see the show has had another amazing impact on an individual.
Also... I swear to god, why do so many people who like sonic also like mlp a lot. SAME WITH BFDI! I DON'T UNDERSTAND! WHEEZE
There were quite a few episodes that made me stop and reflect a lot on my life and the people I've known. It's helped me in more ways than I can think of, and the ending was definitely bittersweet. I had a tear or two when it was over.
So glad to see that the show has inspired you to become your best self. Keep it up buddy!
Eternal For Life! ✌
Hmm, I couldn't tell you. 🤔
I kinda thought I was one of the only peeps out there that liked both Sonic and MLP. XD
Cool to know
To be honest , I had always thought of you as a friend of mine.
And while I'm sure you won't see this because it's past when you would check comments.
I'd like to think that you said I'm your friend too.
So thank you for being a friend , I just hope I've been one to you.
Thanks so much self - absorbed!
I'm glad to have met you. Everyone who watches my videos is like a friend to me, including you.
Glad I can help brighten up your day. 😉
I love MLP FIM and my favourite character is Rarity! I love her character arcs and her character development in all 9 seasons.
The show in my opinion is for both male and females and for kids and adults.
I love your videos Eternal! Keep it up!
#WeAreEternal
Thanks so much! Rarity is a gr8 character and an inspiration too.
And I agree, the show is gr8 for everyone to watch.
Thanks for watching and for the compliment!
#EternalForLife ✌️
My Little Pony: Friendship is magic is sweet! I've seen it and it's so cool
It’s such an awesome show! I loved every bit of it
It had no business having so much lore in the first episode lmao
0:28 although, cringe stuff will exist in any fandom
Not a fan of MLP horror myself but lots of people do put work into cool projects
And it is of course a fun show
Heck Yeah i Called it lol I remember us talking about you starting MLP in one of my Livestreams As a smaller fan of MLP I love how this is the show that helped you cure your Despression and I can't wait to watch it in 5 hours :) Edit: This is amazing Video mate
Thanks buddy 😄
As someone who was the target age for FIM it's great to see how other people love the show too.
idk what i thouth about it but now i relise i relate more to flatterlshy because she is more loving to living life that is there i was kid i think in 2013 or mabye 2014 but i rember seenig pony toys and with it stroys beang made even comices and i loved it but i have not seen it in long time i missed out on new epesods but it was fun and good memory of my childhood
I fucking love this show😭😭
hi how's it going. i'm like you man, mlp helped me with a lot of depression and they warmed my heart so much i decided to be a brony
Glad to hear it helped you too. I have no regrets watching MLP.
Thanks for watching
@@TheEternalSamurai hey man, can i ask you something. what's your thoughts on mlp gen 5? like to me, i prefer gen 4 because they had more lessons and really great character. i don't know if you ever did a review on that
I'm seeing people talking about seeing the show a few months back when I literally grew up with it and until it "ended" (g4, which it didn't, hasbro are trolling) it was the only thing keeping me alive. also if it wasn't for my little pony g4 then I would have 0% chance at making any friends because for some reason when I was younger I couldn't take a hint when people didn't like me. for example, I would see people in my "friend group" walking together and in my mind I thought that I should follow them and do that, and then they'd do this thing where they walk off in different directions leaving me standing there having to pick someone and then the rest of them would hang out and that person that I picked would have to put up with me for an hour. the fact that this happened multiple times and yet I didn't realise until later that, you know, they probably don't like you.
Oh wow, that certainly seemed really great for you
I see that this phenomenal of a show has cured your depression and it sounds like you've learned things from the show, awesome.
Oh definitely! This show has been so awesome to watch. Like I said in the video, it helped me get through some rough times. I can’t thank MLP enough for getting me out of my depression.
@@TheEternalSamurai I can't wait to see post more MLP videos on the channel, I always appreciate youtubers who are still posting MLP videos during this current era.
For me i was a casual brony like i didn't actually watch the show or bought any merch but i did watch a lot of mlp videos the main videos i watch a lot was episode analysis videos like Josh Scorcher GoldenFox and etc if you didn't know there was a big discourse about alicorn twilight personally i like it but some people like me liked it but some people fucking hates it (sorry for swearing)
Me to TheEternalSamurai !
TheEternalSamurai is brony! Let's gooooo /)
I'm still waiting for Dan vs. Pinkie Pie >:(
When i was younger my little pony helped me undestand other peopel and make friends it cursed my anxity
I feel ya there. And I think you meant to say that it "cured" your anxiety, not "cursed" it lol.
All in all, it was a show we needed to help us get through some phase of life, and I'm so grateful for that.
The honest truth!!!
From sonic to mlp 🤯
i like that show
I have been a brony since i was 5
That’s awesome!
i love mlp friendship is magic
It’s a phenomenal show that will never lose its magic ✨
@@TheEternalSamurai yeah that's why i love it so much
Trust me, I have a difficult time making friends to you’re not the only one in
My Little Pony, My Little Pony, AAAAAAAHHHHHHH
Dude thats good!!!Who cares really?While reading for finals i was sad af but mlp helped A LOT
Been a fan of the show since, I think, Season 2's premier, when a bunch of memes and some shockingly awesome artwork was making the rounds in full force. I had first watched it halfway ironically but also partially to give it a sliver of a chance, expecting something cheesy but ultimately harmless. What I got, instead, was quite the fun show that knew exactly what it wanted to be, that had a good balance of adventure and slice-of-life, and had some great moments both sentimental and theatrical.
Maybe it was due to the point in my life I was in (having finally moved out of my parent's place and starting to deal with the pressures of adulthood, as well as slowly losing my desire to engage with my hobbies, especially creative works), but it most certainly came at the perfect time for me and lifted me out of a funk that might have become something worse down the line. It wasn't just a silly, simple horse cartoon of goody-two-shoe characters singing songs about friendship and all is right in the world. To me, at least, it ended up being far more that what I assumed. It was a story about a group of found friends, who grow up in a rapidly changing world, go through highs and lows, trials and tribulations, meet friends and enemies, and show that, even if things don't go the way you want them to, things can get better, especially if you're willing to put in effort as well as rely on those you care about and that care about you... A story that just happened to be about silly horse people, whom all had a lot more character and depth to them than what their initial surface level appearance would have you believe.
I think one of my favorite things about the show, aside from just being genuinely and earnestly good and pleasant, is how much it ended up inspiring me (and many, MANY other people out there). I actually managed to print a book because of it. Ok, sure, it's just a fanfiction I wrote from December 2012 to March 2018, but it's something I hold near and dear for everything that it represents to me. The fact that I made something that personal and somewhat monumental in my little world, despite my doubts and own issues, is proof of an accomplishment that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
Just... bless this little show about the funny equines.
That I’d quite the story you got there. I’m so glad to see how much MLP changed your life for the better. The show just has that charm to it.
And wow, a whole fanfic book! That’s really awesome! Feel free to link it in the comment if you’d like.
Thanks for watching and for your heartfelt comment. ❤️
@@TheEternalSamurai Yeah, something is definitely deleting my reply. I can't link anything, and for whatever reason it's probably because I mention my profile on FIM fiction. Dunno why.
@@1Synner oh sorry. Might be my filters for YT comments.
I don’t know how to tweak them, but if you’d like to share it, you can come the discord server linked in the description of the video, and share it there.
@@TheEternalSamurai Not much of a Discord guy, but sure. I'll send the link there.
@@TheEternalSamurai And, done-zo. Hope my stories entertain well enough. Speaking of, I should get back to some chapter writing. Almost done with a side chapter I had brewing in my head for nearly a year now.
Cool
Interesting
I just watch it I’m a normal fan in the target audience
