I don't know how many of you are aware of the Japanese G4 fanbase, but they make some pretty awesome stuff.
It took a few weeks to finally get them, but I now have FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC and PONY NEXT DOOR, a couple of collaborative pony fancomic anthologies that were originally sold at Comiket 84.
Actually, I know very, very little Japanese, so most of these comics are currently a mystery for me, but they sure are pretty; what initially drew me in was the fact that FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC featured several pictures that I already loved on goodly sized pages with proper color balance, so they look even better than on a computer screen.
Anyway, pictures!
The covers (the gold unicorn on FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC is actually shiny):

(On the whole, PONY NEXT DOOR seems to have a lot more zany stories and situations than FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC.)
