One of the first [1] critical reviews of the show, published shortly [2] after the initial broadcast [1] in October 2010, was written by Amid Amidi for the animation website Cartoon Brew. Amidi wrote that the show was a sign of "the end of the creator-driven era in TV animation". [3] Amidi's essay expressed concern that assigning a talent like Faust to a toy-centric show was part of a trend towards a focus on profitable genres of animation, such as toy tie-ins, to deal with a fragmented viewing audience, and overall "an admission of defeat for the entire movement, a white flag-waving moment for the TV animation industry." [3] [4] [5] Though the show had been discussed on 4chan's cartoon forum before the essay's publication, the alarmist nature of the essay led to more interest in the show, resulting in a positive response for the series for its plot, characters, and animation style. [4] [6] This reaction soon spread to the other boards of 4chan, where elements of the show quickly inspired recurring jokes and memes on the site. [4] Some of these included adopting phrases from the show like "anypony", "everypony", and "nopony", instead of "anybody", "everybody", and "nobody", [7] or jokingly stating that they watch the show for the "plot", a reference to the ponies' flanks.
