Which Episode First Made You Love the Show/Become a Brony?

[Riganthor 484]

The first episode that made me consider watching more of this show and was guilty of turning me into a brony was the return of harmony (season 2 opener). 

[EverEverOn 346]

Sensibly, I started with the two-part pilot. It grabbed my attention enough for me to continue, but I don't think it was until I got to the second season that I realized I was becoming a huge fan.

But it wasn't the show itself that made me love My Little Pony. I had actually gotten a Build-a-Bear Rainbow Dash for my birthday in 2014, and since then, I've been hooked.

To be honest, it was the very first one I saw- Baby Cakes. I just really liked it, and it was about Pinkie Pie, which definitely helped.

[KatonRyu 1,033]

For me it happened in the second part of the pilot. Pinkie begins randomly singing and Twilight's reaction to this is "Tell me she's not..."

 

It's a small moment, but at that point I knew this series was different from its previous incarnations and worth watching.

I sold my soul to FiM when I found out John De Lancie had just played a Q inspired character in the S2 premiere, which had just aired a few weeks prior. At that moment I knew this was going to be my next big obsession. I could never be bothered to watch even my favorite shows more than once, but I think I powered through S1 and everything up until Luna Eclipsed something like 7 times when I first got onboard the ride.

Took me about half a season 1, with the help of YouTubers, the CMC being cute, and Winter Wrap Up song, and I decided I might be a Brony 7 years later and join a forum like this one. But then I just enjoyed the show!

It was the very very beginning that did it for me. From that point, my life was never the same.

[Prospekt 11,018]

First one I ever watched was... Trade Ya, I think? Or was it Castle Mane-ia? One of those two. I think I watched both. Then I started from the beginning of Season 1 and was a fan by the end of 2-part opener. Don't think I really admitted it to myself for a few more episodes but I was clearly hooked.

I watched some just because they were on when I was quite a bit younger but I can’t remember how many episodes I watched. It was Equestria Girls that got me into the show, so I don’t remember how many episodes I watched. I remember having to catch up on seasons 1-2 though cause I had never watched them until I became a fan.

I became a fan after episode 9, episode 25 confirmed to me that I love this show very much.

The show really caught my eyes with the first episode. I remember walking into the scene where Rainbow Dash is telling twilight about the wonderbolts. Seeing those cute pony designs along with the good voicing and vibrant animation really sparked my interest. After watching the whole first two episodes is when I officially became hooked. My favorite pony was Rainbow Dash, mainly because of her fun personality, cool skill set, and that is was a pegasus. Pegasus ponies instantly became my favorite after those episodes.

Another important episode that got me super hooked was Dragonshy. This episode became my favorite (until I watched Sonic Rainboom, that is). It also is the episode which made Fluttershy my favorite character. And guess what, she still is. 

[Ittoni 538]

I think Griffon the Brush-off. Because of Pinkie Pie, she was very funny, Fluttershy was extra cute, and Gilda for being the first sentient other mythical creature in the show and she was cool. 

[Paleopony 701]

It was by the fourth episode that I admitted to myself that I was a fan.

[Cash In 22,216]

I watched all the episodes in order. I think the fourth episode was the point where I kind of figured out that this show hooked me in.

[Astralshy 26,421]

The first episode I'Ve ever watched was Filly Vanilli from season four. I fell in love with Fluttershy's character and it made me start to watch the show from the beginning.

Season one started to get really good for me with Briddle Gossip episode. Winter Wrap Up boosted everything up into the sky and it kept on getting better and better. 

When do I noticed that I became a fan? Not Totally sure honestly. But if seasons 1 hadn't done it, Season two with the Return of Harmony and even more with A Canterlot Wedding would have done it to me. And these are just the first two seasons <3

I watched the first 3 episodes in a row. I say I became a brony when Pinkie Pie appeared for the first time. The very first second with the book opening was already magical. I just loved all of it, I have never seen such a good show!

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

It was actually Equestria Girls that turned me into a Brony  If that doesn't count, then I'll go with A Canterlot Wedding

[Sparklefan1234 169,767]

"The Ticket Master" was the episode that made me a fan of Friendship is Magic.

I wasn't a big fan of the Friendship is Magic pilot but Amy Keating Rogers adding funny jokes into episode three made me want to keep watching. 

[EpicEnergy 23,175]

I watched the second episode of the first season of FiM, and I immediately was interested in watching more of it as a result.

[Savy 5,075]

I think it was Owl's Well That Ends Well... which was also the first episode I ever saw....
