    2. It sounds like they all have been voiced by the same actress O_o

      I suck at foreign accents though, so take my word very, very lightly.

    3. Better than I thought it would be, and the lyrics matched up pretty good.
      The worst intro I have seen so far is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXbpVFTDXOI
      Being Dutch feels bad man.

    4. If they make a japanese one, Dash better have an Osakan accent.

      Fluttershy will be, of course, voiced by a moe seiyu.

      I can hear the difference pretty good, but I am german, so I guess it is easier to hear the difference if you know the language?
      Maybe?


      Also, this is so awesome.
      I can't wait :D

    6. I give them mad props for this opening.

      Having studied German for a bit, I know that the language can be hella hard to sing in, especially when the song is fast and was written in another language to begin with.

      Good job, Hasbro. Good job!

      I am very sorry if I offended you ^^; But to be fair, I am sure it will be easier if you know the language. I bet You'll have the same problem as I do if you listen to the spanish opening (I am spanish).

      Also, I am very happy this is finally coming to Europe. You guys enjoy it :3

      But Applejack's voice is a poor pick :/

      Still, it's done sufficiently well that it implies an actually decent effort at dubbing. It's a start.

    18. Wasn't bad. Although the first 'my little pony' lines made me laugh uncontrollably. That accent is so refined...

    19. german here - and i'm very disappointed after seeing/hearing this
      this could have had so much quality but it ended up extremly poor
      most voices sound way to average and do not fit to the original characters - especially pinkie pie and applejack
      but it's nothing new that german voice acting in films and games blows ass
      i'll stay with the original voices and english episodes

    20. As a half-Dutch half-German kid I have to say I cringed at both this video and the dutch one. But that was to be expected, as most shows that are translated into my languages are better in English.

      The fact that this will probably bring more merchandise with it is great though.

    24. Oh man, this is so bad I have to comment on it two times.

      The Lyrics are off, the voices sound like they picked up some random girls from the streets, the very first line really hurt my ears and ... *sigh*
      It just doesn't feel right at all.

      I really hate to see this wonderful series turned into another cheap dub production on a really bad time slot.

      I can just feel how they will suck out every cute and funny thing and replace dialog to make it more aimed for small children ...

      And all the people I tried to convince this show was awesome will see the german version and think it's stupid. (happens a lot)

      It wasn't as bad as i had expected it to be.. at least Twilight's voice isn't bad... how come none of the dubs have AJ's accent though? i can understand that for some languages it's hard but this is dutch we're talking about, there are lot's of accents to choose from @_@

      I thought Twilight, Rarity & Fluttershy were decent picks. And compared to other dubs, it's really quite decent. Most importantly, I get the impression that the voice actors actually care - which again, is more than you get from most dubs.

      That it wont be as good as the original is obvious (Some of the humour is outright untranslatable, be it verbal or situational (Twilight's soapbox comes to mind). But it does rather sound like they're making an honest effort.

      And I can forgive them Applejack - a southern American accent DOESN'T EXIST in german (And picking a frisian or bavarian accent would be retarded), so it's ludicrously difficult to get it right.

    33. Swiss brony here. Well, it could be worse, that's for sure.
      But: "... lieb und freundlich zueinander sein!" seemed a bit too girly and was that supposed to be Applejack who said "von allem ganz viel"? The Applejack I mistook as male for 3 episodes? Well definitely won't happen to anyone with this voice ^^

      VastaKustuta
    34. As a German myself, I have to say: Oh. My. God.

      That's...okay, it's not terrible. But somehow these voices...well maybe one could get used to it (still, I think I'll stick to the US-Version on my Hard Drive)

      But even though I'm not really pleased...I can't stop listening. It somehow has this "so bad it's good"-quality. And the translation isn't too bad (as someone who writes poetry (and yes, tht is poetry) himself in his free-time I appreciate this). Also, if they have a German intro (and also German "Meet The Ponies"-Videos for the mane cast+Trollestis) that means the series coming over here. And even if it is terrible (and/or aired on a Pay-TV-channel) that (hopefully) also means the TOYS are coming here as well!

      Jain. Zauberei is explicitly 'Screw with stuff in a wizardlike fashion', while Magie has a somewhat wider meaning and is in colloquial use for more generic things - I.e. Photo Finish's 'THE MAGICS!' works only with Magie - not with Zauberei.

      You can use Magie for everything that's called Zauberei, too. But you can't use Zauberei for everything that's called Magie.

      VastaKustuta
    48. @Anonymous
      Not really, Zauberei and Magie are basically the same thing, while witchcraft would be Hexerei. However Zauberei is mostly used for spells (using magic / casting a spell = zaubern).


      There also seems to be introduction of the mane cast on the page under http://www.hasbro.com/de_DE/play/index/My-Little-Pony/_/N-1sZ6zZgv/Ne-2l but you don't hear the voice actress there :(

      VastaKustuta
    49. @Anonymous Depends on who you ask, I think. Most people would associate "Zauberei" with trickery and delusions, I think, while "Magie" would be the "real" deal (meaning, if magic was really possible, card tricks would be Zauberei while, levitation or teleportation would be Magie). But they can also be used interchangeably.

    53. Oh I just saw the other videos Acriaos linked ... that was terrible, just terrible ...
      This voice sounds so ... oh it hurts, it just hurts ...

      It will put off a lot of potential fans.
      It's true that most germans are lazy and prefer to watch a dub than subs or just english, and because the dubs are so horrible sometimes people get the wrong image about a show.

      VastaKustuta
    54. @AcriaosSame reason we change Australia to Australien, I presume.

      I'd have kept Equestria (Sounds nicer), but it's forgivable, and probably makes sense for the ostensibly targeted audience.

      Oh well there's not much similar to AJ's accent, I think the "Friese" accent would be alright.
      I just hope they won't go with these voice actors, especially Rainbow Dash's voice doesn't fit at all.

      @Dionysus

      In Dutch there's the word heerlijk which means the same as herrlich in German I believe.
      Gets used for delicious most of the time, but also pretty much else.
      After all, Dutch is a copy-paste-edit language.

    57. >It's actually really well done.
      you have no idea how wrong you are
      imo, of course

      VastaKustuta
    58. Um, I'm German and to me it sounded quite horribly.. The voice acting itself (apart from the voices, which obviously cannot be an "as good" fit as the original ones) sounded a bit like it was done by a random 14-year old picked from a school because no professionals were available x,x

      *sigh*

      Maybe I'm being overly critical, but then again, I never expected the translation to be anything but butchering the original... sometimes I really hate being right.

      Das ist Twilight Sparkle.
      Sie liebt lesen und lernen.
      Die königliche Prinzessin Celestia von Equestrien hat Twilight Sparkle den Auftrag gegen etwas Neues zu lernen und zwar was Freundschaft bedeutet.
      Sie hat ein besonderes Talent für Zaubersprüche und benutzt es wenn sie mit ihren neuen Freunden Abenteuer in Ponyville erlebt.
      Es gibt kein Problem dass Twilight Sparkle nicht lösen kann, besonders wenn sie ein bisschen Magie anwendet und wenn sie Hilfe von ihren Pony Freundinnen und Unterstützung von Prinzessin Celestia bekommt

      This is Twilight Sparkle.
      She loves reading and learning.
      The regal princess Celestia of Equestria has ordered Twilight Sparkle to learn something new, namely the meaning of friendship.
      She has a special talent for magic spells and uses it when she experiences adventures with her new friends in Ponyville.
      There is no problem that Twilight Sparkle cannot solve, especially when she uses a little magic and received help from her pony friends and aid from princess Celestia.

      Notes: It actually says “regal princess”, (königliche Prinzessin), can somepony enlighten me what a non regal princess would be? The part about “experiencing adventures” is a literal translation that does not sound good in English, I’d probably use something like “goes on adventures”.

      Confound these ponies, the drive me to translate transcripts in the middle of the night. Well at least the word spell checker is now trained in words like Ponyville, Equestria and anypony. That’s something, right?

      VastaKustuta
    65. @Anonymous maybe I'm just a hopeless optimist, but I would wait until we see the final product. sure, these voices sound...yeah...

      but I think if we weren't so used to the original dub (which will ALWAYS be better), the german voices wouldn't even sound so strange to us. of course, if we weren't used to the english voices that would mean we wouldn't have seen the series until now and that would certainly mean that we were no Bronies and probably wouldn't become ones.

      and also: yeah, they'll air this and it will (surely, but not guaranteed) suck. but the kids this is intended for won't be bothered by this, the already existing Bronies can stick to the english dub and the ones who weren't already Bronies won't become ones, even if the german version would be 20% cooler than the english one. I mean: if you saw in the TV Guide that a show with the name "My Little Pony: Freundschaft ist Magie" started airing, would you watch it? Or would you stop if you happened to see it while zapping mindlessly? I surely wouldn't...

      VastaKustuta

      Super RTL & Kinderkanal are probably the most likely, yeah. Pretty much the only (Free) channels that bother with this stuff.

      Es gibt wohl kaum ein anderes Einhorn Pony das so schön ist wie Rarity.
      Diese talentierte Modeschöpferin erregt überall aufsehen und geniesst das total.
      Sie träumt von dem Tag an dem Sie ein wunderschönes Kleid für Prinzessin Celestia entwerfen darf.
      Bis dahin aber flaniert sie in Ponyville herum wie die Schönste auf dem Ball.
      Dieses hübsche Pony hat aber auch innere Schönheit.
      Sie ist so großzügig und liebevoll wie sie talentiert ist.
      Sie liebt es ihren Freunden zu helfen und sich dabei immer wohl zu fühlen.

      There might be no other unicorn pony as beautiful as Rarity.
      This talented fashion designer causes a sensation everywhere she goes und totally enjoys it.
      She dreams of the day when she is allowed to design a beautiful dress for princess Celestia.
      Until then, she strolls (danders?) through Ponyville like the belle of the ball.
      But this lovely pony also has inner beauty.
      Shi is as generous and caring as she is talented.
      She loves helping her friends and feeling good while doing so.


      Notes: Hm this one was a bit more difficult to translate. Again, “she is allowed to design” is a literal translation of “entwerfen darf.” that carries a bit of a different meaning in English than it does in German.. A better translation would probably be simply “can design a dress…”, but I wanted to stay as close to the original text as possible. Now the word “flaniert” gave me some trouble, since I never use it in german texts, so I had no idea how to translate it :-) My dictionary gave me to words: to stroll and to dander, I hope one of them fits (“flanieren” basically means to walk around not with the intent to get from A to B but with the intent of being seen / showing off in front of others). Last but not least the german word “liebevoll” has many possible translations (affectionate / benign / caring / fond / loving), so I choose the one I think fits best for Rarity.

    71. @Anonymous I was always imagining Super RTL airing it. Maybe the Saturday Morning Cartoon Block on Kabel 1, but SRTL sounds more likely.

      Technically, it's an educational program, that COINCIDENTALLY (lol) also serves as a commercial.

      Seriously though, nah. There's no legal challenges involved - it'd be more of a question whether the folks running KiKa would be willign to give it a chance, and whether they've the funding to do it. Considering what they usually broadcast, their funding appears to be rather... Restricted.

    78. I recall a time when I was in Wien with friends, we were walking down at the bank of the Danube just as we got out of the Hundertwasser street and we started a discussion that EVERYTHING sounds stark and commanding in German.
      We ended up shouting on the street like idiots, yelling words at each other like EISBLUMEN and WIENERSCHNITZEL and so on.

      Well. This intro reminded me of that moment. Can't help it.
      As far as I can translate it is well done, the voices are fine but feeling...
      Instead of "oh dude friendship is so wonderful" I feel like "GET SOME FRIENDS NOW YOU MAGGOT" xD

    80. I just read a comment on some Message Board where someone said that, after he inquired about it, SRTL told him they weren't planning on airing FiM.

      On the other hand, this request happened in March...

      I hope they air it in Free-TV or at least some uploads or streams the episodes in a decent (picture) quality. I just want to see HOW bad it really is. In fact, I think it would be funny to first watch the German and then the English version...

    82. Why does Applejack sound like that? Or Pinkie Pie, for that matter? These voices are pretty off, even the ones that sort of match their characters.

      VastaKustuta
    83. Judging on the recruited VAs, they would be better off switching some off the roles; in my opinion PP´s currently one would better suit Rarity, Rarity´s would be better for AJ and so on...
      But hey, this dub does at least one thing right and doesn´t try to 'translate' the names of the characters or places (apart from Equestria -> Equestrien, but this is only a question of style)

      And yes, I also think that it will most likely air on SuperRTL. But seeing VIVA airing shows like Naruto (with even worse dubbing) and Spongebob maybe they´ll air this show to be 'unusual' on purpose ;D

    85. Meet princess Celestia

      Das ist Prinzessin Celestia von Equestrien.
      Prinzessin Celestia ist die Herrscherin über alle Ponys im Ponyland Equestrien.
      Sie hat die größte Zauberkraft von allen Ponys.
      Sie ist dafür verantwortlich dass die Sonne und der Mond auf und unter gehen so dass es in Equestrien hell und dunkel wird.
      Sie ist das einzige Pony dass das Horn eines Einhorns und Pegasusflügel hat.
      Sie ist weise und freundlich und kümmert sich ganz besonders um ihre Schülerin Twilight Sparkle.
      Alle Ponys bewundern Prinzessin Celestia und vertrauen auf sie.
      Einige sagen, dass sie so weise ist weil sie über 1000 Jahre alt ist.

      This is princess Celestia of Equestria.
      Princess Celestia is the ruler over all ponies in the pony land of Equestria
      She has the greatest magical ability of all ponies.
      She is responsible for raising the sun and the moon so that it gets bright and dark in Euestria.
      She is the only pony that has the horn of a unicorn and pegasus wings.
      She is wise and kind and specially cares for her student Twilight Sparkle.
      All ponies admire princess Celestia and rely on her.
      Some say that she is so wise because she is more than 1000 years old.

      Notes: Again, “freundlich“ can be translated in many ways (amiable / benign / considerate / gracious / kind and a dozen other words, I chose kind because I think it fits Celestia best. “vertrauen” can be translated with “rely on” or “trust somepony” (if translated literally) or with “putting faith into somepony” (if we want to emphasize princess Celestia almost being a godlike entity), I’m not entirely sure which one fits better…

      Unter aller gröbsten Umständen war das hier aber keine fertige Version (glaub selbst nich dran) und alles wird gut.

      Fluttershy liebt den Wald.
      Sie ist die sanfteste und leiseste in ihrer Gruppe.
      Diese Pony ist freundlich und liebevoll und hat immer Platz in ihrer abseits gelegenen Hütte für alle die ein wenig Liebe oder Fürsorge brauchen und insbesondere natürlich für ihre kleinen Tierfreunde.
      Man sollte sich aber nicht täuschen, auch wenn sie ein wenig ängstlich erscheint kann sie sehr bestimmt und bewundernswert stark sein.
      Sie setzt sich für alle ein, die unfair behandelt werden.
      Sie ist unwahrscheinlich großzügig und kann fliegen.
      Dieses Pegasus Pony ist eine liebe Seele die allen Umständen gewachsen ist und stets für ihre Freunde da ist.

      Fluttershy loves the forest.
      She is the kindest and gentlest in her group.
      This pony is good natured and caring and always has a place in her remote cottage for everyone in need of a little love or care, especially of course for her little animal friends.
      Don’t be misled, though she may seem somewhat anxious, she can be very determined and admirably strong.
      She stands up for everyone who has been treated unfairly.
      She is extremely generous and can fly.
      This pegasus pony has a gentle soul which can cope with anything and is always there for her friends.

      Notes: OK it’s getting a bit late :-) Translating “allen Umständen gewachsen” gave me a bit of a challange, since it cannot be translated literally. It basically means being able to handle every possible situation that might occur. There might be an English proverb that could be used, anypony any ideas?

    90. Confound these voice actors. They drive us German Bronies to get upset about something that is actually kind of pointless.

      And now, as this is for my fellow German Bronies:

      Was soll das? Klar, als ich das Intro gesehen habe dachte ich auch erstmal "Oh Gott, warum tut ma sowas?" Aber je mehr ich drüber nachdenke...
      Ich meine: Was ist denn für uns, die wir schon seit Monaten der Magie der Freundschaft fröhnen, großartig schlimm daran? Wir haben die englischen Episoden auf Youtube und auf unseren Festplatten. Wir sind nicht auf die deutsche Synchro angewiesen. Was passiert denn schlimmes, wenn die Serie mit ner schlechten Synchro hier ausgestrahlt wird? Gut, ja, man könnte jetzt sagen, dass man von anderen ausgelacht o.ä. wird, weil man sich so eine schlecht synchronisierte Serie ansieht, aber die Leute, die das tun, fangen damit schon an, wenn man nur sagt, dass man MLP mag. Wer sich mehr Zeit nimmt, was darüber zu lernen, der wird auch bereit sein, sich die englische Synchro anzuhören.

      Im Endeffekt ist das schon richtig, nur ist es eben etwas demotivierend zu bemerken, dass fast alles, was nicht aus Hollywood kommt und dicke Gewinne verspricht, von den verantwortlichen Studios bloß halbherzig bearbeitet wird.
      Und das äußert sich dann eben in nicht unbedingt unglaublich schlechter, aber häufig unmotivierter, Synchronisation.

      Aber hey, immerhin kann man in D noch ins Internet und sich somit über diesen Missstand hinweghelfen.

      und @ Eisteetrinker
      Ich schaue mir die Folgen, sofern ich den Kanal auf dem sie ausgestrahlt werden empfangen kann, auch zumindest teilweise an. Wer weiß, vll. waren das ja auch nur Gesangsstimmen und vll. werden die anderen Charaktere ja sogar gut vertont. Denn der letzte Fall kommt auch manchmal vor.

      Pinkie Pie bringt ihre Pony Freundinnen den ganzen Tag zum lachen.
      Für sie ist jeder Tag ein Anlass zu Feiern und sie organisiert unheimlich gerne Parties für die Ponys.
      Zusätzlich zu ihren Freunden und Parties liebt Pinkie Pie Süßigkeiten.
      Deshalb ist einer ihrer Lieblingsorte auch das Süßwarengeschäft.
      Sie ist stets optimistisch und hilft den anderen Ponys in allem das Positive zu sehen.
      Wenn Pinkie Pie dabei ist, ist immer für Spaß gesorgt.

      Pinkie Pie makes her pony friends laugh the whole day.
      For her, every day is an occasion to celebrate and she enjoys organizing parties for the ponies.
      In addition to her friends and parties, Pinkie Pie also loves sweets.
      That’s why one of her favourite places is the sweets store.
      She is always optimistic and helps the other ponies to spot the positive in everything.
      When Pinkie Pie is around, fun will always be provided!

    95. As a German I can say: I expected it to be at least 10 times worse. I hate both versions of the theme, though.

      Also this propbaly means an offical German dub soon, which would be on top of my "Kill it with fire" list. Germandubs of cartoons and/or Animes just ruin everything.

      The original voices are just perfect. No german voice actor could life up to the awesomenes of the original voices.

      Applejack ist das Lieblings Pony eines jeden Bauern, denn sie ist sehr fleißig.
      Sie ist zuverlässig und unkompliziert.
      Sie hat keine Angst sich mit allen Hufen zu engagieren und die Arbeit zu erledigen.
      Sie packt immer mit an, ist unglaublich ehrlich und steht anderen stets mit Rat und Tat zur Seite.
      Sie ist super charmant, eben ein Pony vom Land, das weiß was wahre Freundschaft bedeutet.

      Applejack is every farmer’s favourite pony, because she is very hard-working.
      She is reliable and uncomplicated.
      She’s not afraid to get involved with all hooves and get the work done.
      She always sorts things out, is incredibly honest and always helps others with words and deeds.
      She is super charming, just as a pony from the countryside, who knows the meaning of true friendship.

      Ich sehe ja nur wie deutsche Synchros immer wieder alles kaputt machen. Man sehe sich mal die Synchronisation von Team Fortress 2 an, es ist zum kotzen.

      Nur weil kein großer Erfolg erwartet wird, wird gespart wo es nur geht. Ich bleib bei der englischen Synchro – ich werde mir zwar 1-2 episoden der Deutschen Fassung ansehen, aber ich erwarte nichts. Die hätten sich mal eine Schiebe bei der Niederländischen Synchro abschneiden sollen, die machen alles richtig.

      An meine deutschen Bronies. Ich denke wir sollten mal abwarten, das Endprodukt aussehen - oder besser- wie es sich anhören wird. Das da oben muss nicht zwangsläufig final sein. Aber es hört sich definitiv absolut grottig. Der Gesang auf jeden Fall. Textlich kommt es dem Original zumindest sinnbildlich nahe. Was einen Sendeplatz auf Super RTL anbelangt. Ich habe vor etwa 2 Monaten genau deswegen eine Mail an die Zuschauerredaktion geschrieben. FiM haben die bislang nicht auf ihrer Liste. Vom KiKa gehe ich jetzt auch mal nicht aus. Dann bleibt unter Umständen nur noch Pay-TV übrig. :/

      to the englisch bronies: if you would translate the englisch text of the opening verbatim, it would read like this:

      Mein kleines Pony....

      Ich fragte mich, was Freunschaft sein könnte,

      They're pretty much the same. If you want to get picky, "Zauberei" is more directly translated as "wizardry" or "sorcery" because it's a sort of parallel structure?
      Wizard = wizardry
      Sorcerer = sorcery
      Zauberer = Zauberei

      Magician = magic
