One of the few good western cartoons (Anime-tier good).
Sure it has some flaws, but in the end, I can just use the fandom to fulfil my fantasy to fix some flaws.

Cartoons of the 2010s I liked: MLP:FiM, Dan Vs, Transformers Prime & RID 2015, We Bare Bears, The Amazing World of Gumball & maybe another one too but those are at the top of my head.
Was MLP a good cartoon? Absolutely. was it the best? Not by a long shot. I’d probably give the best to Dan Vs or Transformers Prime.

After that finale, it damn well should be. I was blown away. Never have I seen a cartoon that well put together.
Sure it had its mistakes, but man how it carried itself as a show with this gigantic cast. I’m in disbelief how they pulled this off.
Love you Mane 6 <3

Ok time to reevaluate this idea after the finale and everything. I will say that it has moved up quite a bit and some shows that I feel I over rated have moved down. It is not the absolute best of the 2010s but I think it is for sure top five if not top three.

This was, taken as a whole, the greatest show I have watched of any kind in this decade. Its impact on culture and society was wide-reaching, and FiM did more than any other cartoon to spread its message and love for the material across the world. Now that the show has ended, I can form a complete opinion, and I absolutely believe this to be true.

Bronies of every age, country, and race.
You are about to embark upon the final chapter of the show that has kept us all together. We’ been together nine years now and soon it will be time for the show to go. But it is not a ending, simply a next chapter in life.
I wanted to share some thoughts, some of which I have been thinking for a long time. I have always lived in Britain and never have attended a brony con, or probably never came across many fans, and I only discovered the show in early 2013, but I, or anyone else, will never forget what we had experienced over the years. Most people say that it was Lauren Faust who deserves the credit, and that’s true. But I’ve always felt that the Brony fandom was really the one that gave the show the love and strength it received over the years.
It has made us the people we are, including myself, into people who are happy and feel like new men and women. And now that it is all ending, it kinda makes us feel we have lost our purpose. Honestly, I understand that truly…parting is such sweet sorrow.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is a cartoon that has never struck such an impact with me. When I first came across it, I was always of the assumption that it will just not appeal to me, as to me and others, most modern cartoons were terrible, and not like cartoons we have seen in the 90s, and 2000s, but when I watched it for the first time, I felt like I had reunited with something. I felt happy, I felt like I had escaped the real world, but most of all, I felt like I had found a purpose.
All the wonderful fans, who helped the show and the fandom become the way it has been, had likely been people who have been trying to find a purpose, and they have now become filmmakers and people different then they would have been years ago. Even me. I have would never become the person I have become if it wasn’t for this show.
I think the reason we don’t want to see this show end, is because as some episodes have shown, the characters are ageing, and getting older, and the image that still remains in our minds is of the characters when we first met them, before Sweetie Belle’s voice starting growing older, before Twilight became an alicorn, before Spike gained wings. One of the driving themes has long been that, whatever the differences between the members of the Mane 6 team, they were ultimately stronger and better together. They would break apart, but they always came back together. They formed a family, this motley crew. They did terrible things to each other, but somehow always circled back around to each other. That’s how families (mostly) are. They were characters who were like people, and we never connected with cartoon characters on this level before.
I know, these are imaginary characters. But they have struck a place in my and others heart’s no other imaginary character ever has, and I’ve been watching cartoons just like most bronies have probably been. I never felt much when it came to other cartoon characters, and the MLP characters were the strongest characters I have ever seen in my life. I think when we see them age, we realised that one day, their stories would have to end. We wish it could go on forever, but just like reality, nothing last forever. But most of all, I think that we can actually be grateful we saw it as it happened; while there will more shows and fan stories in the future, nothing will be like those years of 2010 to 2019. Bear in mind, that all of us were alive to witness this show come into existence, and fall deeply and passionately in love with it, and that we had an amazing, dream come true because it helped define the person we became.
It is my firm belief that MLP was not a cartoon or a show, it was an experience that made us connect more with reality. It awoke the child inside us, made us reach out to others, made us fall in love with the characters, and gave us the opportunity to spread our wings.
I believe that no matter what happens in future for this franchise, or where it could go, it will continue to spread love and joy, not just in children, but adults who have not realised that they have forgotten what it is like to be a child. It will go on, not for 100 years or 500 years, but until the sun burns out.
As we embark on the final chapter, it is fine to admit we are heartbroken to see it leave. The task will not be an easy one; a part of our hearts will go with the show when it ends on Sunday. It will be sad seeing the book close for the last time, it will be sad seeing the characters age as they go into their later life. But that is the nature of life. For one moment it is possible to dream that we can go back and start the cycle all over again, back in the show’s first chapter. But we should be thankful instead, that we got to experience it. It would never be the same watching it again, and knowing what is to come, because life is unpredictable, just like how nobody, not even Lauren Faust, expected this show to be such a hit, to revive the MY Little Pony franchise for a new generation, to get it more love than it ever had before, and most of all, to awaken the person inside us, and make our own films. None of us had no idea what we were starting. The first pebble in an avalanche of fan art, fanfiction, cosplaying, fandom, shippings, pairings… We started a legacy, whoever any of us are.
MLP is not a cry to cartoon or to silliness. It’s a rallying cry for the awaking of the human spirit. To make people smile and show kindness. All the characters taught us. No matter where we go, whenever we will see an act of kindess, we will remember Fluttershy, whenever we see a generous act, we think of Rarity, whenever we see any act that any of the characters did, we will remember them all.
And that how the MLP fandom is, in my humble opinion. It is not a fandom; it’s a family. It’s not perfect, and there are things we can’t give each other, but what family is perfect? What matters is that we are not alone in loving ponies, we accept each other, and our flaws. We may exasperate each other, frustrate each other, and push each other to the point we wish we didn’t have to deal with each other… and then we show ourselves we care by doing something for each other that we can understand and appreciate, telling ourselves that we can get each other even if we don’t always show it. This is not the end, this is not even the beginning of the end, this is just perhaps the end of the beginning
So as Pinkie Pie might say, wipe those tears away, and smile, because one day, down the road, you find yourself moving into a new world. And when you are old, you start sorting through various boxes and drawers, and you discover all of those old photos and mementos. And it is all ponies. And your grandchildren sit on your lap, listening to you describe the show, and they would never understand what it was like, as they were never there to experience it as it happened.
We have done our duty, and as I walk of into the new world, I will release my heart to the show that defined me as the person I became. I will never ever watch MLP again, as I want to remember it the way it was before G5. I’m sure G5 will be good, but it will never hold a candle to the prime years of the 2010s. We will never forget the characters that we came to know in G4. And I won’t forget them too.
My fellow bronies, we did it. We not only gave love to a show, we made a difference, we made a franchise stronger, we made ourselves known in the show itself, and we left it in good hands, but most of all, we all became a family. All in all, not bad… not bad at all.
And so goodbye, take care of yourselves, and, most of all, realise that there is no greater gift then Friendship.

Yup, not just 2010s but in my opinion the best cartoon ever. The only cartoon to in my mind merge disney, 90s style cartoon like elements, and anime in a package so perfect I thought the show runners made a pact with somepony in Tartarus.
Even took out my favorite cartoon (well, anime for those that are nitpicky), Mahoraba Heartful Days, from my number one spot. Couldn’t find a better cartoon, until MLP:FIM came along. :) There’s been like 8 finale’s and all of them have made me emotional in one way or the other and that’s not even counting the episodes in between. ;)

Why do I need to explain my reasoning? You never explain your reasoning, you can’t shift that burden onto me. And no, I’m not asking you to explain your reasoning, I don’t care, I just think it’s hypocritical of you to demand I give my reasons when you provide none.

No, I mean how do you go from “it’s not that bad” to “best cartoon of the decade!”
Like, I’m using hyperbolic language when I describe VLD. It was a generally good show that started to get progressively worse in the last 3 seasons. However, even when I was in full fan mode, at no point did VLD even approach best of the decade for me.
So what makes it best of the decade for you?

Season 9 will be upo us. We are really lucky to have it last as long as it has. I am so glad that this show was produced, for if it wasn’t I would not be typing this to you now. I can’t image my life without ponies, honestly it probably would have been really lonely. Thank you all for watching, commenting, sharing, liking, and subscribing.
I look forward to seeing what the future has in store for us all.

@Red-Supernova, @ILoveMyoozik, I agree with the both of you.
I haven’t seen every good show that’s been mentioned throughout this thread, or watched all their episodes, so I can’t fairly say if it’s the best, but I will say it’s the only show I’ve ever cared to watch to its fullest. I also love Gumball and Regular Show, but I haven’t really had nearly as much motivation and love to watch every single episode of those two, whereas with FIM, I knew even before I became a brony that it was going to be a show I would love so much that it would soak up my time to an unhealthy degree to the point where I actually tried to avoid getting into it for that very reason.
Sure enough, I was right: when I eventually did get into the show after attending Ponycon NYC 2015, I was hooked just like I thought I would be…to where it would take up a lot of my time to an unhealthy degree… >.>
I can’t help but feel sad about the upcoming end of FIM, and I kinda regret not getting into the fandom earlier (though from what I’ve heard about the drama stories that happened during the earlier seasons’ runs, that may be a good thing). I am glad, however, that it has a large enough fandom that’s created tons of fanworks, memes, conventions, even a dedicated section of 4chan and all sorts of stuff and will continue to be a large fandom for years to come even if it does shrink. I don’t think most of the other shows have that or at least nearly as much, and I think that’s saying a lot for FIM.
So whether it’s the best show or not, it’s certainly had a large and lasting impact. Friendship is magic~
