And another one I'm abandoning here. It's the day for it, apparently. This just felt way too much like a commercial for the toys to me. This is coming from someone who adored the original My Little Pony tv show, too.
The idea was original, but wading through all of the ridiculous teenage angst nonsense to get to anything interesting was just not really worth my trouble. I didn't connect with the characters, and I just didn't care.
The names were a bit much for me, too. I get the idea, but wow.
