Plot
Living in Maretime Bay, the Mane 5 are having a ton of fun together!

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Like its previous show of the franchise and Teen Titans Go!, the show mostly lacks the charm from the previous shows (excluding G3, G3.5/the 2009 revamp and Once Upon a My Little Pony Time); whereas these shows, especially G1 and Friendship is Magic put their focus on more adventure and action, Tell Your Tale puts its focus on more slice of life, randomness and comedy with less adventure and action. While the idea sounds pretty decent in paper, it is executed better than in the previous show by the way, it is still poorly executed.
 * 2) The animation, while not terrible, is very stiff, choppy and generic at times.
 * 3) While the character designs look cute and somehow creative, they can either look mediocre, sometimes uncanny or either, if not, look like Star vs. the Forces of Evil rejects for some of the characters, including Sunny Starscout (when front facing).
 * 4) Similar to Pony Life, the pacing can be a bit too fast, with the episodes being slightly or a bit rushed.
 * 5) The humor, although not terrible and better than the previous show, can get unfunny and sometimes cringe-including.
 * 6) Izzy, while still is a nice character, has been slightly flanderized; she went from a creative, funny and loving unicorn to a mostly energetic and annoying unicorn.
 * 7) *To be fair, she was kinda energetic in A New Generation, but here, she is more energetic than she was before.
 * 8) Tons of bad or average episodes, including:
 * 9) * "Clip Trot"
 * 10) * "Maretime Bay Day 2.0"
 * 11) * "Making a Foal of Me"
 * 12) * "Neighfever"
 * 13) It even tries to be "hip and cool" at one point; in the episode "Clip Trot", Pipp Petals wanted the Mane 5 to do the trend she watched on ClipTrot but later realized the trend is dead, then she has an idea. The trend that the rest of the mane 5 did went viral, which is similar to TikTok.
 * 14) Although not common, it tends to use a bit of gross out humor, such as the ponies sneezing in Maretime Bay, causing a huge outbreak in "Neighfever", not only that, but it can sound a bit similar to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Good Qualities

 * 1) As mentioned earlier, the character designs are cute and creative, despite some looking mediocre.
 * 2) The songs are really catchy, including "Work Work Work", "Let Out Your Light" and "All For The Love of Trash".
 * 3) The voice acting, although it can be hard to get used to compared to the film, is decent and really good.
 * 4) This show is an improvement over Pony Life, since it at least has some adventure or action, such as a scene where Sunny Starscout uses her powers to get the waves out in "Alicorn Issues".
 * 5) The characters are still likable, such as Sunny, Hitch, Zipp, Pipp and Izzy, despite that she was slightly flanderized.
 * 6) The animation, while very stiff and generic at times, is surprisingly good.
