I like the show because it is something calm and relaxing to watch that can actually hold my attention. I also watch it because the community that surrounds it is absolutely amazing and well, can't be a brony without watching the show, right?

Have to admit that the brony community really does help a ton, never before have I ever felt such a strong relationship with a show before, better yet a cartoon. :P

That is what got me too.

 

Whenever I first heard about bronies, I was like "Pssh."

 

Now I accept new ones with open arms.

In contrast to the vast majority of children's shows these days, the show contains actual characters, animation with actual effort behind it, a decent level of consistancy, writing that primarily has actual effort put into it, and cliches don't fill the front seats. (To address a few.)Unfortunately, the second season hasn't been as strong as the first, but that's probably just me. It's still a great series, despite some flaws.

I like it firstly because it's entertaining to watch. But also because it's so positive and has all these positive messages and I'm sort of tired of cynicalness and negativity. It makes me feel better about life in general just to see these happy ponies all about love and tolerance and friendship.

 

The characters are also very well-done and not overexaggerated. They are balanced and show a variety of different personalities that could appeal to any person. I like how they managed to make a character like Rarity, who's into fashion and usually would be a completely unredeemable snob in any other kid's show, actually have likeable traits. The same with someone arrogant like Rainbow Dash.

 

Also, good voice acting. Each character has a great sounding voice that suits their personality and isn't overdone. The animation is also very beautiful, and the art is simple, yet extremely pleasing to the eye. The pretty colours and great aesthetics on all of the ponies is how so many background ponies become popular.

 

I also agree with some others that the community is fantastic. I enjoy talking to fellow ponylovers. They're usually rather nice and relatively unargumentative. And this fandom brings out some of the greatest talent I've seen. A lot of fan artists are just extremely good and dedicated. I'm impressed at seeing some people have even made games about ponies. And great remixes! The enthusiasm that runs through it is contagious and heartwarming.

5 Reasons I like My Little Pony FiM.

 

1.Awesome animation, it's so smooth and easy on the eyes.

 

2.Characters have development and aren't mere plot devices. You can actually relate to them.

 

3.Funny humor and references that makes it lively and fun.

 

4.Hearty morales that actually make sense in the end, like most educational shows the episode focuses on the main lesson, though isn't crammed down you throat like Dora or something like that.

 

5.It is a blast to the past, it's like a perfect 90's cartoon in every way possible.

I like this show for it's lighthearted nature. It's really uplifting.

 

It's even interactive. The little easter eggs (like Derpy) keep me paying attention.

 

The lessons are also REALLY good lessons to learn.

 

Oh. Not to mention the amazing fanbase.

I'm a big fan of filming, and I like watching shows and movies to learn their techniques. The first time I watched MLP I knew there was something about it that wasn't designed for little girls.

 

At first I thought it was just cute, then I looked at how the animation was done and what drew me into the show.

 

The animation is what dragged me in, I mean come on.. it's the very first thing that draws my attention.

I couldn't imagine what it would be like to plan and design something like this.

 

Pay close attention to the eyes..

doesnt sound to me like he is trolling at all. sounds legit to me there will always be people who dont like the same thing as you its all opinion. you cant be like oh come on you have to like it. he finds the characters annoying so be it thats his opinion i find the characters dynamic and funny and even though they are predictable thats what i like about them, just like any action movie you pretty much know whats going to happen but its the content in the middle that propels you to continue to watch not what you think is gonna happen same with mlpfim. plus it has great voice acting great animation and its completely NOT what you would expect to see in the commonly mocked phrase "my little pony"


AAAAAAPPLELOOSA!

Some serious stuff. Not "Cause Pinkie is best pony, duuuuuh" or something like that. Get serious for a moment. Do you relate to a character? You find the show easy to make fan-art about? Does the show talk to you in a deep way?

 

Mine would have to be the fact that there is some "anime aspects" within. Like the Pinkema Diana Pie side of Pinkie Pie. (The crazy within). And Twilight Sparkle has powers that she can lose control of sometimes.

 

Also, the show is "innocent laughter" and it's hard to find that.

 

Third is the fact that the show has opened my heart up to other things now. Like certain music and games. (I like dubstep now) Also watching a couple of animes I never thought I'd watch. (Right now I'm watching Clannad when i'm in the mood for anime)

Well one major reason why I love the show as much as I do is due to the relations I have to some of the characters, and how they deal with different situations. Like I completely relate to Fluttershy's shyness towards new ponies, I also related to how Twilight dealt with being "Tardy" (Though I didn't go insane, it really stressed me out that I was late for an assignment that also happened to be a weekly report due to science) and with Sweetie Belle fighting with her sister on sisterhooves always gives me memories.

 

Another reason would be the effort put into the show. The songs are well sung and performed, the VAs (Voice Actors) are defiantly quality actors, and the general art style used in the show. It does a good example of how to make a show look good in Flash. The Facial expressions for example are amazing, and the animation is quite fluid. And all around, it is just easy on the eyes but attractive on them too.

 

Lastly, it gives me a good feeling every time I watch it. I can't be mad when I see candy colored ponies solving problems while giggling laughing, and doing silly/cute stuff through out each episode. And each episode teaches ponies a lesson of friendship that either some ponies didn't know, or needed to be reminded of.

1. I tend to enjoy cartoons that are anime-esque at least in some way. That art style in Western cartoons is what initially draws me to them. It's how I got into Teen Titans back in high school.

 

2. The acting and the writing are actually good. I miss cartoons that have both of those qualities. Children these days need quality entertainment that will keep them nostalgic for the rest of their lives, too. :P

 

Those were the initial reasons for me liking the show. I've developed more reasons later as I kept watching the show.

There are numerous reasons I watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. For starters, Fluttershy is best pony, duuuuh.

 

But seriously, I was directed to the show by a friend of mine and initially didn't really like the show's content in the first couple of episodes (though even they grew onto me later). The very first thing that caught me off guard was how well animated the show is, and I immediately fell in love with the animation. Despite the errors that some bronies who are trying to hard to find point out, this show has higher quality of art and animation than most you'll find on TV, which surprised me at first mostly due to the fact that it's a show about Hasbro products.

 

Of course, by the halfway mark of the second episode, even though I didn't really like the episode itself very much at the time, I fell in love with the singing due wholly to Pinkie Pie's singing VA and 'Giggle at the Ghosties'. Other songs in the series, such as 'Winter Wrap Up' and 'Best Night Ever' are so well done that I tend to listen to them more than I do my major music library that I have had since long before I watched My Little Pony. Of course, the fan remixes and all of the other songs actually in the show that I didn't list are great, too, and pony music is something that I've completely fallen in love with.

 

I do believe, though, that the most important factor in me enjoying the show from the start was the endearment it began to push on me around the third episode. The show was just so cheerful that it pulled me out of a depression I'd fallen into, and anything that can make me happy like that is quite substantial, given that nothing else has ever done it permanently as the show seems to have.

 

Now, one of the lasting reasons that I'll remain a fan of MLP for life is the amazing community that it has fostered. Nearly every 'brony' I have met is to be ranked among some of the most respectable people I know. This community here, MLP Forums, is actually the best thing that's happened to me in my memory. The friendships I've made here are already stronger than a majority of those I have made with people whom I've met in person, and I'm accepted here too a much higher extent than I ever was in a public setting such as high school or college. Though it may not seem like it due to my relatively sporadic activity levels, visiting this forum is one of the number one things I look forward to doing each and every day, as well as getting to know everypony a little better with each comment and conversation.

 

I can't for the life of me think of a single good reason in the world why I wouldn't like this show, and I believe I would hate myself completely and utterly if I had never decided to listen to my friend and watch the show. Without it, I wouldn't have some of the best friends that I've ever known and I'm fairly certain that I would be spending my time moping about right now depressed without even knowing why.

 

So cheers to the creators of this show, to the wonderful fans across the globe, and most importantly, to all of my great friends here at MLP Forums who enjoy this show with me and look forward to it at the end of each passing week!

The first thing pulled me in (besides the hype) was the art style. I was pleasantly surprised that so many bright colors could look so well together. And the character designs are so adorable. And speaking of the characters, I love how different they all are and how they interact with each other. Not to mentions the songs, the pony-related puns, and a couple of scenes have actually made me tear up because of how sweet they were.
