A lot of people think My Little Pony Friendship is Magic is heavily influenced by anime, just because the characters have big, shiny eyes. Personally, I found it much closer to how any Western animation can be.

Also, I don't think Japan ever got any My Little Pony dubs on TV, because I highly doubt Hasbro had been able to market their toys in Japan's super-competitive region as Japan's local toy productions tend to be very gimmicky! In fact, did you know Transformers was originally a toyline by a Japanese company before Hasbro took over their intellectual properties!? I mean, isn't Japan where you always find giant robot concepts all the time?

I seem to remember that there was a My Little Pony brand in Japan as well, but it is not the same toyline as we know it. Plus, it was not handled by Hasbro, but rather a local toy company called Takara.
