"Friendship is Magic," is what I meant to type in. I caught my 16-year-old sister watching it one time and it's alright. But I noticed that it's becoming a 'meme'. I don't get it. What's so special about it?

Also, I've been watching Drawn Together clips lately on YouTube and they are letters that usually look like this in the comments:

"Dear Princess Celestia
[Words here]
Your Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle"


....Just what.

I just watched the first episode and enjoyed it. I didn't get what's so meme about it though.

I too have been curious as to what the appeal of this show is, and so I'm gradually watching it. I've seen the first four episodes and it's kinda entertaining.

I think what the deal with this show is is that it's kind of addicting. It pulls you in the more you watch. I haven't become a Brony (yet), but I can feel the pull of it drawing my towards becoming one. It's a gradual, sneaky little process that unconsciously makes you want to see more of this show with each exposure. It's kinda frightening when you think about it. ^_^'

Though, I think a lot of its popularity has to do with some of the fan productions based on this show. Some of those make the show look better than it really is, and just makes people find it all the more appealing. Take this Watchman trailer spoof, for example.

I'll admit it's far better than what I expected, and I like the bright pretty colors of it, but I don't get why it's such a smash hit either. I was fine with the episodes I was trying out, but I couldn't be bothered to watch more, honestly. ^^;

So in other words, I have no idea. If these were younger people I wouldn't think anything of it (If I watched it when I was 8-10, I think I probably would've loved it), but most of the fans I'm seeing are way older than I am, so. xD;

I like the unicorn ponies. They can teleport.

Edit:
Oops again. I thought you people were talking about the 80's cartoons. Just found out there's a new series.

You're not the only one - I don't understand why people like it, I keep hearing it a lot in another fan community. :confused: I haven't watched it and can't be bothered to watch it. :roll:

I love the 80's cartoons. So far I'm liking this new series too. So glad they decided to keep it 2d.

I watched the pilot episodes and I thought it was cute. If I had a little girl I'd love to watch it with her but I've got lots of other things I'd rather watch first :3

That'd be because Princess Clara and Toot Braunstein have the same voice actress as Twilight Sparkle. (And Bubbles the Powerpuff, and hundreds of others) which is pretty funny.

This, this, this. I see the new ponies and I'm like, "....what did they do to Applejack?" I just can't. I see what a huge meme the new show is and I just don't get it at all.

I remember My Little Pony from when I was 5 years old. I'm surprised to see it's lasted all these years. Though strangely enough, when I was that young, I had a pony or two. I thought they were cute and colorful. But that's quite some time ago...

I never knew they had a show back then. I only know the toy of it from commercials.

Just about every toy franchise in the '80s had its own half-hour commercial show. :P

It also had a movie that time. I wonder if they'll introduce the flutter ponies?

I've watched it twice through and I'm waiting for more episodes.

It is very funny. It's clever and smart. It has a good variety of quirky and diverse characters. It stays fresh for its whole run. It has catchy musical numbers. Ohh, and it is very, very exploitable on message boards.

I may not have seen the previous MLP series, but I've starting watching this one a while ago and I really like it. The stories are really good. And the characters are enjoyable as well.

I like it because it is a cute, adorable girl's cartoon that doesn't talk down to you and can be enjoyed by adults and boys. The characters fit into recognizable archetypes while still being well rounded and unique characters. For example Rarity is the spoiled, fashion pony. Yet she is ultimately the most generous pony and rather then being the typical shopaholic she is an artist.

Well, finally finished My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Gotta say, good stuff in there. Did not expect to stick with it all the way through to the end. I'd be willing to say that it's one of (if not the) best new cartoon on television.

Great writing, great story, great characters, great art style, great animation, great performance, great humor, great overall all-around quality and competence. It's just great. :happy: :cool:

Here's one of the best highlight moments of the show - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcAplQbMgJU

So, yeah, consider me an official Brony. :mrgreen:

Horses don't look like them....ohh the old days

I've given up watching 'cartoons' because I'm more into 'anime' and Japanese stuff now. :roll:
