Yeah, I know is being posted *after* Pinkie Pride (so,
yeah, spoiler alert if you haven't seen these episodes) but if you've seen up to that episode or you're willing to read spoilers, I'll see you after the jump.

Overthinking Things: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Natsume's Book of Friends.
While, there's a lot I can say about what's different between them...
One's a show about a socially-awkward protagonist who learns how to interact with others and there's strange creatures and magic involved; and in the other, most of the cast are brightly-colored equines.
Yes, I just did a bait-and-switch comparison, but in this case that's not intended to be an insult. I'm a huge fan of both shows, and maybe that's why I can see this similarity between these otherwise different shows from different cultures. And yes, I know Natsume Yuujinchou is available in the States officially in subtitled form while My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is officially available in Japan in dubbed form (under the title "My Little Pony: Tomodachi wa Mahou" no less).
