Before I say hello, I believe I should explain how I got here. Yesterday a friend of mine and myself were searching through Netflix, trying to find something to watch. Before too long, we happened upon Bronies, a documentary I'm sure everyone is aware of at this point. In my school last year, bronies were somewhat of a running joke. Let's face it, the thought of males between the age of 18 and 30 dressing up like Pinkie Pie and doing generally ridiculous or flamboyant things was not only considered very weird, but also pretty hilarious. Not to mention the immediate assumption by most onlookers that all Bronies are homosexual. So, as you can imagine, when we stumbled upon this documentary, our little knowledge of Bronies had our interests piqued, and we began watching the documentary. Now, I am an avid cartoon fan. I love most cartoons, from the early nineties to now, with my favorites being Rocko's Modern Life, The Powerpuff Girls, CatDog, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Adventure Time, The Regular Show, and The Amazing World of Gumball. Because of this, when I saw these Bronies listing their reasons for loving the show: great animation, fantastic storytelling, lovable characters, etc., that was all I really needed to hear before I decided to quit the documentary. (I was about 10 minutes into it) The next thing I know, I'm about four episodes in, and I'm pretty quickly falling head over heels for this show. The characters are all absolutely fantastic, the art direction and animation quality is near untouched, the storytelling is above and beyond anything I've ever seen in a children's cartoon, and most of all, I find myself laughing and smiling more while watching this show, than I do watching any of the other cartoons i mentioned above. With that said, I am now on episode 18 of the first season, and i cannot wait to get even further into the show. I am an 18 year old heterosexual male, with no intention of ever dressing up as a pony, but with every intention of discovering all of the fun to be had in this show. So, hello everypony!
