What if instead of being set in Equestria, MLP FiM was set in a modern-day style high-school, anime-style, with all the characters remaining the same species? The plots would be similar, but what would you think the difference would be?

I don't know man, anthropomorphic versions of ponies sounds pretty disgusting to me.
>>27872418
Not anthropomorphic; actual ponies.
>>27872410
No, it's still shit, Stephen Davis.
>>27872410
What if we threw in a fake one-dimensional love interest? Just to troll people into thinking they'd be canon. Hilarious, right?
>>27872410
It's be fuckin gay. Like you OP you massive fucking faggot.

We had this and it was called My Gym Partner's a Monkey.

if you fall into this world scientist will take you away or you will have to live like Alf hidding in a house
>>27872410
Absolutely shittastic, just like EQG.

The difference would be that it'd suck
I hate how most "high school teen dramas" are completely unlike a real high school. Obviously, you can't have episodes about teen pregnancies and prescription drug abuse, but it still isn't sunshine, rainbows, and prom dresses.

Then it probably wouldn't have become all that popular, really. Its just another shitty high-school anime with horses instead of wide-eyed kids.
The setting played a huge part for me and I'm sure a number of others getting interested in the series.

I would enjoy a spin off about pony friends attending Celestia's school for gifted unicorns and their daily adventure with classes and magic and slice of life stuff. I would not enjoy modern day high school bullshit.

> this bitch doesn't know about Degrassi, Glee, or Boy Meets World dealing with real issues like drugs and sex and death
I mean, they're still not accurate portrayals of real life but if you market to teens and you do it right you can get away with darker topics. Fat chance of Hasbro doing that but still.
i think it would prove, unquestionably and once and for all, that my little pony: friendship is magic is completely creatively bankrupt.
An entire generation has grown up expecting anime tropes because all they consume is anime, and is left scratching their head when cartoon shows they show an interest in do not have KYAAA SENPAI NOTICED ME fufufufu~ as dialog.
