(Here’s a side-by-side comparison with the CCS<\/em><\/strong> opening<\/a>.) <\/p>\n

Is the Brony universe the American counterpart of Touhou doujin culture?<\/a> Perhaps. However, the main attraction of Touhou for me is the music, and I have yet to hear the MLP equivalent of “Lunatic Princess” or “U.N. Owen Was Her<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

I found time to watch the first two episodes of Mawaru Penguindrum<\/em><\/strong>, and, well, I’m not at all surprised that its mastermind was earlier responsible for Utena<\/em><\/strong>. It starts off as a shameless tearjerker. By the end of the second episode it’s deep in WTF territory. It’s currently getting high praise around the otakusphere, but I’m skeptical that it’s better than Madoka<\/em><\/strong>, as some claim. I suppose I’ll have to watch the rest of it and see.<\/p>\n
