The recent Strawberry Shortcake show Berry in the Big City seemed like it was something of a haven for FiM staff. It had Jason Theissen and some of the voice actors at least.

I actually only ever watched the Christmas special, but there was definitely a FiM flavor, so I've been meaning to check out the show proper.

I think the music has to be a big factor in it.  That's why I agree with you about Steven Universe.  I've seen the show occasionally and it's got some really good songs.  The music in Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games were really good too, which is why I love them despite being Equestria Girls. Hazbin Hotel is coming to mind too.  It has great music from what I've seen (which is only like two songs) but it's certainly not very ponylike.

Lauren Faust went on to make Super Best Friends Forever.

I never watched it, but I bet it has the same vibes as her MLP series.

Though I don't know if you're looking for anything in particular.

I will say that there's a very common vibe in 2010s cartoons that I can't accurately pinpoint.
It's in stuff like Adventure Time, Infinity train, Disney shows like Star vs, Amphibia, Owl house, Ducktales 2017 or a Netflix show like Centaurworld. Millennial sort of quirky humor?

Which was picked up and adapted into the second series/generation of DC Super Hero Girls which was so much better than the first one. And has a bit of MLP:FiM-vibe, especially the six-girls formula.

will look into after i finish mermicorno

>>1211619
mermicorno needs more music. some eqg isnt bad in the right context, hazbin is 2 dark, -- i suspect there are a bunch of niche japanese or or perhaps south korean, etc. cartoons that would be similar but that few have heard about....

>>1211622
hm... not sure ive seen that ...looked at wander over yonder before, which was certainly creative but not sure enough fim-like

...hm, perhaps -- didnt watch much of those but might look into. i like uplifting cartoons with world-building and christed heart consciousness allusions/metaphor the most, i guess -- so, cutiemarks/symbols/gems, magic of friendship/creative force defeats raw power, and a world somewhat detached from everyday life through special terminology (hoofs, mare, pony) or through different species/characters forgetting memories, etc. ...&without a strict good vs. evil plotline

>>1211623
might look into after mermicorno, thx....

watched first two episodes -- very weird juxtapositions of different concepts, from duckface as a regular mouth animation to seeming like a more in-depth addictive smartphone farm game animation to the completely unacknowledged humor of the strawberry "spoon" that inexplicably is shaded so that it doesn't look like a spoon it looks like a dildo master scene (first part of scene), to sudden jumps from cute to scary and back (stove scene), the intensity of which is unacknowledged by the characters (flat, 2d-humor?/corrupted presence of horror aesthetic in a children's show to add raw stimulation to the brain to get more views or to increase screentime?), perhaps because they are incapable of acknowledging it due to other factors -- ...pros would be that it's a known character and it's about strawberries so it's at least somewhat believable (though flat, stereotypical interactions are depressing) -- ...christmas special might be better

>>1211623
took a look at the 2019 series -- not too bad for a superhero show (not usually a fan of superhero stuff) ....I appreciated the MLP:FiM references and similarities throughout, though the superman character is a bit much and the bee seems out of place, while the one similar to rarity seems to lack depth ....perhaps they will be more developed in later episodes? not unwatchable, tho. ...took me a while to realize the wonder woman character was basically princess luna (from the halloween episode), ...think we have Twilight Sparkle/Pinkie Pie Combo, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Luna/Applejack(?) Combo, and Zecora, maybe? ...appreciate the creativity ....

...

...finished it but still processing how amazing mermicorno is ...high rewatchability .....
