No, this is not a joke/trolling thread. We don't need more filler posts asking if it is. Remember to spoiler season 6 content, and clearly label your spoilers. | ||

Yes, the show is episodic in nature, meaning you can watch a single episode outside of the continuum and still get what is going on, the exceptions being #1 and #2 which are sort of a "mega episode" | ||

When my friend first told me about this show, I thought he was trolling but i guess there really is a large following. I checked out the episode in the OP (7 i think?) and i don't really see why everyone thought it was SO amazing. Seems like a typical child's show. But whatever floats your boat i guess. | ||

Character development and character relationships also develop across the season. (All are platonic so far, aside from Spike's crush on Rarity.) Consequently, it's best to watch the episodes in chronological order once you're hooked. | ||

But coming without much prejudice I'm happy I watched in the "right" order. Goes from "oh, another hero girls show, but cute ponies" to "this could be fun" to "lol wtf lmao" to "i will never stop watching this awesome show" | ||

To those who actually watched the series, what are some of your favorite moments in the show? These are some of mine: 1) First Sonic Rainboom 2) Second Sonic Rainboom 3) Pinkie Pie's Pied Piper Performance 4) Pinkie Pie becoming the Joker when she thinks her friends are avoiding her 5) Any scene with Pinkie Pie in general actually and of course... 6) Every single scene with Fluttershy I think I'm gonna go rewatch the series now. | ||

Pony-haters say MLP is gay, Bronies so only real men can be honest about what they like. Personally, I watched the show, fell in love with it, but I don't see how that affects my manliness or sexual orientation at all.

Fluttershy's "cheering" is absolutely up there. As is when fluttershy is "so angry I could scream". Or when fluttershy loses it in the grand galloping gala. I also liked in episode 1 when applebloom asks "aren't you going to stay for brunch" with the cutest face in existence or... I just realized I have a lot of favorite moments. EDIT: Oh, oh, when Twilight Sparkles loses it at the end of swarm of the century. "we need to rebuild all of ponyville over there. We have less than a minute" | ||

First 2 eps I was like "omg don't let this be magical girl with ponies" but after ep3 and 4 I was hooked and glad the power of friendship part never appeared again.I wouldn't recommend episode 7 as an introduction to the series, although adorable it's just Fluttershy being... shy. Just went through the first 11 since yesterday and of those I'd say episode 4. But coming without much prejudice I'm happy I watched in the "right" order. Goes from "oh, another hero girls show, but cute ponies" to "this could be fun" to "lol wtf lmao" to "i will never stop watching this awesome show" Also Ep4 is awesome, Applejack really grew on me after I finished the series already and I rewatched a lot of episodes focusing on her. Ep13 was great too. Also one of my favorite musical moments of the show: + Show Spoiler + | ||

I watched them a little and really went ''meh'' But then I watched the (!) last episode and let me tell you I was hooked. It was funny in a shrek sort of way. With good mature humor is some shape or form. Aswell as good editing and appropriate acting. Its a def watch | ||

It's not anything special like "omg you have to watch this", I don't really see the rave about it. I guess it's because it's so unexpected that something aimed at 3-9y/o girls is actually watchable by a totally different demographic. I'll probably watch the rest of it, which is saying a lot, haha. Could do without the whole 'dear princess' at the end of every episode though. | ||

But I don't think the first two were bad. The ponies, animation and music is all there, and the first ep isn't that heavy on the whole Nightmare Moon plot and mostly serves as a plot device for Twilight to go and meet the cast. It is a bit misleading especially with the second ep, but oh well. | ||
