Behind the scenes
Anime parodies and influence
Anime, manga, and Japanese media in general have influenced My Little Pony in a variety of ways. In the episode "Scare Master", Fluttershy had several artworks of ponified anime characters, such as Bulma Briefs and Ranma Saotome. In the Equestria Girls short, "Queen of Clubs", the Anime club posed like the Sailor Senshi, who have appeared throughout the series, primarily n the comics by IDW Publishing, for example, Aqua Mist.
The manga series, My Little Pony: The Manga, surprisingly doesn't parody much anime, instead serving as a parody of Doctor Who, does briefly parody ninja and high school anime in the final story of the first volume, in which the Applejack-san of the Apple clan, a clan of Ninja, must go to Ponyville-cho High School to save the world from Spikezilla. In the tory, the Mane Six are portrayed as stereotypes and Twilight herself is a magical girl, and the story ends with them creating a mech to fight off the rampaging kaiju.
Similarly, "Discord in Time" features another mech parody, as the Cutie Mark Crusaders create a mech to fight Gummy.
Several characters have been shown to enjoy anime, such as Mystery Mint, Cherry Crash, Scribbl Dee, Paisley, Watermelody, Fluttershy, and King Sombra.
