The first I saw of the show was a clip of Twilight meeting Fluttershy. I thought it was cute, but I didn't have an interest in watching it, and it was only when I found out about the massive fandom that I gave it a go. At first I was put off by all the cuteness. It was like a sugar overload, but once I got over that, I saw how amazing MLP is, and was already hooked.
