Title: Littlest Pet Shop
Post by: Captain Jack Harkness on March 03, 2013, 11:37:57 am
Okay, so I swore I would watch this show.  Today's Sunday so I woke up and saw it was on at 10:00.  I just got through the first episode.  I'll admit that the show is charming.  Then again, I'm really chill when it comes to cartoons and will find enjoyment in them pretty easily.

So this thread is for the show.  Discuss, everyone!

My sisters used to be obsessed with that Littlest Pet Shop stuff. Same thing with My Little Pony. I swear, it's like Hub exists only to please my sisters. I wonder if there's anything else they obsessed over that Hub will be making a show of.

Sadly, I'm trying to get one of them into more anime so that they're not exposed to too much American crap and don't wind up being picked on in school. Yes, it's gotten to a point where watching anime makes you more socially acceptable than watching American cartoons.

I've heard some good things so I might have to start watching this show too. That and Gravity Falls, still haven't seen that yet.

Haha.  I've got nothing against Anime, but "American Crap?"  That's a bit snooty sounding, to be honest.  Don't get trapped in the Animation Age Ghetto (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AnimationAgeGhetto).  Besides, DHX Studios is in Vancouver, Canada.  That means that the shows are technically Canadian, and not American.

Anyway, you know that The Hub has brought back The Animaniacs?  I'm fairly certain it's syndication, but that doesn't make it any less awesome.

Yeah, I know. Just messing around is all. :p Although my sister watches Jojo's Bizarre Adventure with me and my brother, and I think that's the coolest thing ever. In all honesty, I don't really care where my cartoons come from. Although I'm still not a huge fan of MLP, to be honest.

And yeah, I heard about that. I didn't watch it that much as a kid for some reason. I never knew when it was on or what channel it would show on. Maybe now I can watch it and see what all the hullabaloo is about.

Personally, I'm not very interested in the show for some reason.  Rusty loves it, though, and I'm happy that he does :)

I've heard that it's to Littlest Pet Shop what FiM is to MLP, and that's fine.  I just never had any interest in Littlest Pet Shop in the first place >_>; whereas MLP is something I actually have history with, so it works.

Well Canada is still in the Americas  ::).

I can't watch that show, the long legs, tiny bodies and huge eyes on the already huge head creep me out.

Has anyone seen the LPS show that ran in the 90s?

Was about to bring down the hammer about anime (Pretty much if it isn't older or Studio Gibili(Sic?), it's not my thing), but heh, just messing around is cool.

Still haven't really seen it myself, I mean MLP struggled to capture my interest. I mean, it's definitely not Adventure Time, Regular Show, or Gravity Falls to me.

I saw a few episodes of MLP. It wasn't my thing, personally. I don't get what people find so appealing about it outside of Spike and that little alligator thing. Adventure Time and Regular Show are the best two shows in the existence of television. I saw a bit of an episode of Gravity Falls with my sisters once, and it looked pretty meh. I giggled an awful lot, though.

I dunno, I find Regular Show to be pretty ... stupid at times.  Like, "trying too hard to be the next Beavis and Butthead" stupid.

And I don't like Beavis and Butthead either.

Adventure Time's funny, though.

It really doesn't look like my thing, though I had a shit ton of the toys when I was younger. That being said, I fucking love MLP:FIM. Adventure Time and Regular Show are pretty cool(though I prefer Regular Show to Adventure Time), and another cartoon I like is Star Wars: The Clone Wars. These are most of what I watch on TV nowadays(funny, I'm 30, and 85% of the stuff I watch on TV are cartoons), the other stuff being stuff like Boardwalk Empire, and Game of Thrones.

You like Star Wars: The Clone Wars.  Holy shit.  I never would've pegged you as a fan of that show. ::) :P

Hey, The Hunter is new, he may not know how uber obsessive I am.  :P
(Yes. The Hunter, I'm an uber obsessive Star Wars nerd/geek if you haven't noticed by now, and I have a really fucked up crush on Palpatine, of all characters...)

I just started to watch the show.  I had heard about it, but I never watched it until after I stumbled across the TVTropes page for it.  It's cute and everything, but I do agree that the character animation can be a bit creepy.  Also, the theme song is pretty catchy.
