agreed. really, it's the community that makes the show so very awesome. The best fanfics i've ever seen are pony (seriously, they AREN'T CRAP. amazing in and of itself). go to equestriadaily.com (or whatever, it's a personal favorite) to see for yourself just what part of the community is capable of.Kiltguy said:
I, a 20 year old male college student who is doing a double specialization in marketing and accounting and play mostly shooters love the show. I've always hated MLP before this show.
My brother is 17, plans to be a science teacher, loves the show. His friends, same ages, same interests like the show.
Give it a try; go past the first two episodes. It's cute, smart for a cartoon, funny most of the time, hilarious at times, well written, good voice acting, good songs, almost every character is likable, and it has a decent number of references/kick backs to older cartoons and other things (One episode is "Boast busters", another one Twilight's running # is 42 and she read the "egghead's guide to running", etc).

That sounds like almost every other television show on the air right now.GooBeyond said:
It's a very well written, smart cartoon aimed squarely at young girls. Whether you will like it or not depends entirely on whether you will be bothered by deliberately watching a cartoon aimed at young girls. 
It's worth noting: It ain't Spongebob Squarepants. This isn't a cartoon that's sneakily aimed at young adults but knows it can get the kids in too. Oh no, this one is very up front about its aim. But it's written with so much verve and energy that it's hard not to love it.
Also? Rarity is win, and don't let anyone tell you different. She's fancy.

Great show.
The voice acting and anamation are top notch, and the writing is another plus. Worth checking out.

Surprising how quickly you go from "this is a stupid show. I can't believe I'm watching it" to having watched 12 episodes in a row before you've realized what you've done.
Bronies, that be. Plural of brony. And yes, the popularity of the show would have collapsed terribly a while back without the awesome community following along.Kiltguy said:
Looks like they missed what they were aiming at.GooBeyond said:
Waste your time with it. I know I do. It's grand fun in group chat.
Some people seem to think so, but other people seem to think otherwise. Watch it and form your own opinion.
Talk about it erryday (not misspelled). Slip horse puns in conversations (easier than you may think). Sing Winter-Wrap up to them against their will (I've done it).Mutilator7 said:
I've almost converted 1 guy in AP US history through these tactics. He's agreed to watch it, atleast.
No, it's an overpopularized meme or clearly insights some cases of hidden pedophilia(I'm joking about the second theory).
Give the show a chance if you like great if you don't so be it but to answer your question yes its FANTASTIC
yes its good, basicly the show is good because the people making it care about it,they could have just phoned it in and created an extended toy commercial but insted they chose to make each story intresing and well written, the characters are lovable and relatable,the humer ranges from anywhere sophisticated(makes references to classic shows such as have gun will travel) to crude slapstick(think old style loony tunes anvil dropping out of nowhere), it advocates life lessons without being preachy, inspires intelligent discussions,makes a BUTTLOAD of references to classical Greek mythology(myths such as icarus, and includes awesome monsters such as chimeras, hydras, and pretty bad ass dragons in some episodes)the music is very well done, and many more things make the show great.add to that the fanbase is one of the most devoted and welcoming ones out thereChieftainStag said:
i went in a bit ago not as ahater but as an objective indiffernt resercer trying to figure out what made the show so damn intreisting to people who would othewise not have given it aloo or would have gon to watch soething else, slowly but surely was drawn in and by about the 3 or 5 ep i was hooked.
Show them the image macro made from the show. They can be absolutely hilarious without having them seem "girly". The fan video's made can also be a good idea too, like Ponycraft 2 or The Elder Scrolls IV: Equestria. That'll get them curious about the show, which can help ease them in.Mutilator7 said:
