The art in this show is very clean, unlike hand-drawn cartoons sometimes are. Every character is basically a vector. The solid colors and borders benefit from a lack of compression.
Also I know I'll be watching every episode several times, so might as well watch it in HD every time. I made the mistake of watching a SD YouTube version of last week's episode, then had to watch it again at 720p and again at 1080p. The 1080p was definitely worth it.
I'm actually grabbing a >18GB copy of Season 1 from ponyarchive.org right now, to replace my 10GB copy I have right now. The 10GB version is 1080p, but has some ugly sharpening artifacts on eyebrows and stuff and there's a ghosting problem between frames in a lot of scenes. Storage is cheap, ponies are worth it.
Why do you need to watch cartoons in 1080P?
