What were your first reactions?

[Revelaitons 11]

My friend converted me by repeatedly playing episodes and parodies on Youtube... I'm glad, too, lol

[RainbowFang 4]

I started watching once my brother browsed through YouTube and found it. He showed it to me and I watched it. The first 30 seconds looked really good but once it got to the main theme I almost put it down, but my brother told me to keep watching. I then watched every episode through season 1, and then season 2 in 4 days.

 

Now I'ma Brony!

[Twiliscael 3,960]

4chan and FunnyJunk were INFESTED with ponies. I was like "this must be another troll meme or something..." and then a friend of mine told me about bronies and his disbelief that grown men and teens would watch that garbage. I checked out the first episode and thought it was like any other cartoon. I then watched a few more and by then I was hooked. I finished season 1 in about 2-3 days... and then I got all caught up with season 2.

[abstrusesketches 11]

I started seeing some Pony pictures on 4chan (I regret even thinking about visiting that site ) and Pony videos on YouTube I eventualy gained enoth interest to watch the first episode that turned into the first season and then the second season and well here I am now...

Before you ever became a brony or even watched an episode of MLP what was your first reaction when you watched the first episode?

 

How did you find out about the show? Did a friend tell you?

For me I literally had no clue about the show until a couple of days ago... saw a shirt in the mall that had brony written on it with an explanation from my friend on what bronies where and thats how i found out. How about you?

 

I merged your thread with this one and we already a have a thread about how you found the show/became a brony here.

[Flicker Sweet 3,391]

well, I'll tell you but please keep in mind that I was (at the time) the most EXTREME hater of MLP.

Ok, here it is:

OK! Let's take a look at this shit........ok theme songs not bad........i guess....

(5 minutes into the show)

uh-oh.....i think I'm starting to like this?

(After Fluttershy's introduced)

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! HOLY F%IN' SHIT!!!!!!! I"M IN LOVE WITH A PONY!!!! WHAT THE F%$# IS WRONG WITH ME?!?!?!

 

And that, kids, is my initial reaction to my first episode of MLPFiM

[Coolius rpi 117]

My first reaction was instant love and full appceptance of me being a brony.

 

I, unlike you mindless sheep, Had the BALLS to be a brony with pride.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

When I saw the intro I was like "They're just gonna say my little pony my little pony bla bla bla girly stuff." ,then I listened to the rest of the song and was like "Not a bad intro at all.". Then out of nowhere "This show isn't so bad.". Then I watched Fluttershy scream "YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE ME!!!" so I was all "That pony bucking is bucking awesome!". And then I was finally like "I will regret nothing watching this show.", but one of my friends were all like "I hate my little pony" then I was all like: . THE END.

Why would you rage just because one of youre od friends said 'I hate My little pony?'

If you were REALLY their friend, you would respect their opinion.

First time watching was about a year ago, and I could barely get past the opening titles. I guess I was still prejudiced towards my image of My Little Pony from the 90s. So when I sat down to watch episode 1:01 in August, I skipped past the opening titles and just watched the episode. With a filter of disbelief. But then the plot thickened when Nightmare Moon appeared rather than her elder sister. And that drove me to start up the next episode.

 

By the end of episode 2, I was thinking "Hey, this ain't half bad". And so I started the next episode. And the next. And the next. And by the end of the week, I was in full brony mode.

- I thought the show had really good morals and life lesson's, but I only watch it for... scientific research...

 

 

 

 

- Yep...sceintific research...

[Zerul 554]

I was like " You know what.. Let me try this I might like it.."

2nd ep: BY THE NINE..THIS IS MAGNIFICENT!

BULL@#$% ALARM ACTIVATED!!!!!!!

[Derpy Dash 233]

Was that show... actually good?

[Bow Heart 84]

My thoughts during the first episode: Animation's great, voice acting is awesome, it has plots and stories that I can really dig into, it can be dark (but not too dark) which I like, and I could connect with the characters.

I didn't REALLY get into it until I found some of my friends were bronies, then I decided to watch it all until I was caught up. Unfortunately, that was around the time Hurricane Fluttershy had aired, so watching newer episodes was kinda short-lived T^T I hate waiting for season 3...

[LightRaider 148]

I was kind of skeptical, but open-minded. I could actually somewhat believe that i was watching a show like that.

[13Andres 4]

I was bored when I decided to watch the first episode. I was just looking for music and a link for a music video came up. It was a mlp video so I found the first episode and thought it was good. I watch a couple more and the only thing I thought of was am I really watching this? I finished both seasons pretty quick because of how good I thought the show was.

[pinkiefan1287 610]

I was talked into watching it and I saw a lot of people were doing jokes about this show. So I watched the first episode. What I think I liked best was that is was a part 1 part 2 show.

[--Eve-- 351]

This is probably exactly what was going through my head the entire time:

(Why am I enjoying this?) and then (I guess one more episode couldn't hurt)
