My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic

Honestly, I really didn't want to like this show, but my friend convinced me to try it, and I can't stop watching. Haha.
 
I started out the same way: I never thought I'd be interested in the show either, seeing it as just another internet phase a la Panty and Stocking. However, I stumbled across a TF2 micspam with "Giggle at the Ghosties" playing, and loved the lyrics enough to look more into it, until I found myself a brony.

I like this show for all the reasons stated above: clever writing with subtle bonuses, a strong, diverse, female cast whom can be sympathized with, and a cheerful idealism normally absent in cult classic cartoons. At the same time, it doesn't attempt to be anything more than what it is: it realizes it's a show intended for girls, and acts accordingly without sinking to the pitfalls of pandering, materialism, or gratuitous cuteness. Also, the character designs are too cute. Overall, it shows that cartoons can still be enjoyable in an age where shows like these are few and far between.

Trying to convince others that it's better than what its premise suggests is moot, as no one unfamiliar with the show would take colorful ponies seriously- and I wouldn't expect them to. It's entertaining seeing how some overreact to the whole phenomenon (i.e. writing essay-long rants about how twenty-year olds aren't allowed t enjoy a cartoon intended for young girls), though.

I've only heard of the details, and that's all I want to know. Rainbow Dash does make a good butt monkey, however.

I FRICKIN' LOVE THIS SHOW! I got into it... partially by accident~ But I fell in love with the character's attitudes, and design. Honestly, I thought it was waaaay better than the original series, and movies.
Also... They made Rainbow Dash cooler. Not just 20% cooler. waaaay more cooler than that~
 
I bet a lot of us got into this show by accident. Who would've guessed a kid's show about colorful ponies would be so delightful? It's a very different beast from its girly predecessors, at least.

I also love what they did with Rainbow Dash; the tomboyish persona fit her way more than the "always dresses in style!" one.
 
How did I not see this sooner?

This show is freaking fantastic.~ It's the best show that I have seen in ages.
And also if you love it, then you should join the Fanclub over in Other Clubs, just like others have said.~

I literally got into the show just last weekend because many of my friends were into it >_>. At first I was kinda against it, since I was never really into MLP when I was a little girl. But I changed my mind. lol I fell in love with their wittiness and humor. I'm already on episode 13, which I'll watch later on tonight.
