MLM feels more like a parody of stock conventions used in anime (chibi, visual cues such as pulsing head veins, and so on), and pieced together in animation that isn't particularly fluid and heavily reliant on moving limbs on only one or two joints.
MLP is no more anime than any other western cartoon with large-eyed characters, and utilizes Flash in a way that, to me, seems almost hand-drawn in how smooth it is. It's not just a few pieces graphed out to one or two symbols, and the characters aren't as stiff or strictly on-model in the way they move, squash-and-stretch, react, etc., borrowing more than what one would initially expect from the style storyboard artists. That alone puts it above the direction a lot of other Flash shows take.
(Yes, I'm aware I'm "feeding the troll" or some shit, but I feel it's a good grounds for discussing and expounding upon a common appraisal for the show that no one seems to explain beyond a vague, highly subjective phrase.) |
