Ah German, a language that can make even adorable ponies sound vaguely intimidating.

German - The language where even Merry Christmas sounds like a death threat.

Same with Japanese

German brony here.
Could be worse but it's still pretty bad.

-As usual with german synchronisation the Voice actresses just read their lines and don't really act their parts.
-All of them sound the same since they don't really use accents or try to emulate the originals.
When they do, they're doing it wrong giving some scenes a completely different tone.

-Most of the jokes and puns don't work in german and are replaced with lame rhymes or strings of completely meaningless words.

-They didn't even bother to get people who can actually sing so most of the songs sound terrible.
The lyrics read like they were translated by a sixth grader.

-Spike's voice was the only one that actually worked.

Pretty disappointing but not surprising in the least.

^Now I have to ask, usually how good are the voice overs or VA studios over there in Germany, at least in the last two decades?

It depends.

Movies, Sitcoms and shows like CSI:Whatever usually get pretty decent voiceovers.

Animated shows like Drawn Together and Family Guy or shows for children usually get bad to mediocre voiceovers mostly using the same 10 people for every show.
They used the same high pitched voice of an annoying 40 year old for both Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory and Chicken from Cow and Chicken back when it first aired in germany for example.

Animes and other animated films usually get the same treatment like the Animated shows.
Except for stuff like Disney and Dreamworks obviously.

^ French: no one will take you seriously. Ever. Lol.

Also, the prollem with german is that for any given sentence in english... the corresponding german translation has 3 times more syllables. Pretty much ruins any attempt to keep a song in proper tempo...
