Ever since I first got hooked onto the show in mid 2013, my life had changed for the better. Out of every show or movie i've ever watched, none of them has taught me or shaped me as a person as much as MLP did. I remember joining the fandom like it was yesterday, instantly creating fan content and discussing my new interest with my friends, some of who are bronies themselves. I got to admit, even though I temporarily stopped watching around season 6, I never lost interest entirely. It's just that I had so much other life issues getting in the way like school etc. Earlier this year however, I heard news that MLP would airing its final season. Because of this, so many memories flooded back to me, to the point where watching the season 9 trailer almost made me cry. I was about to witness the end of a large portion of my childhood, and this wasn't the first time I felt this. When Adventure Time ended, I began to feel the end of an era for animation, as well as the beginning of a new era. I remember back in 2010 when Adventure Time was first announced as a new show through promos. 

Now that the end is finally here, I just want to say that it has been one hell of a ride, but we made it.

Even after MLP does end, I may or may not continue being a fan after a while, but I will never forget the memories that I created while in the fandom. I truly do hope that Gen 5 does justice to the franchise as a whole and hopefully it will bring in more fans in the future. Thanks to the crew and the VAs for bringing a wonderful cartoon to us all.
