My Little Pony Friendship is Magic/International edits

This is a list of changes made in international broadcasts of the show. These changes include cut scenes, radically changed dialogue, and added features. Changes made for every international broadcast of an episode are listed at the top of the section for that episode.

Japanese

 * The name for this episode is Welcome to Ponyville (ようこそポニービルへ, Yōkoso Ponībiru he).
 * The introductory shots of the characters have their names written on screen in Katakana.
 * When Twilight goes to her study tower to research the Elements of Harmony, removed is the scene in which she asks Spike where the book about 'Predictions And Prophesies' is and questions the now ruined present for Moondancer on his tail. This leaves the question of how Spike knew which book she was frantically looking for.
 * When Twilight asks Spike to take down a letter to Princess Celestia about the approaching eve of Nightmare Moon's escape, Spike misunderstands her instead of having trouble spelling the choice of words.
 * The legends regarding Nightmare Moon are dubbed as Tsuki no Pony (月のポニー) which means "Moon Pony" rather than The Mare In The Moon. This is taken from Tsuki no Usagi (月の兎) or "Moon rabbit" from Eastern myths.
 * The shot of Rainbow Dash snickering before bursting into laughter after messing up Twilight's mane and tail with her Rain-blow dry is cut.
 * The scene where Twilight looks up at the moon reciting the legend about the Mare In The Moon is cut, as well as Spike alerting her that the sun is going to rise soon. An exterior shot of the Town Hall is also cut. The cut scene amounts to 23 seconds.
 * The 'To Be Continued' card at the end of the episode is omitted. Due to this cut, the background music prematurely cuts off.

Japanese

 * As with the previous episode, the introductory shots of the characters have their names displayed in kanji.
 * Twilight asking Pinkie Pie how she found the 'Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide' is cut.
 * Pinkie Pie's fourth-wall breaking ending is cut out entirely, making the pan out shot of Ponyville the last shot of the episode.
