S01:E01+E02 - Friendship is Magic

[midnightlegacy 172]

As I am sure is the same with many on this forum, I was instantly hooked by the first two episodes.  They were both very funny, entertaining, and altogether well done.

and dash never used her hair dryer anymore for the rest of the show, in understand that

I think this is a pretty good epiosde, Non of my favorites or anything, But good

[Venomous 18,813]

This actually wasn't the dirst episode of MLP that I saw!

[Tom Snyder 4,111]

While NM design was good, the whole hatred and jealously bit was a bit vague; how does she gain this form? And how did she get those eyes? That form looked more demonic than some form of darkness, so i'm not sure what that form really was. And i'm sorry if this sounded offensive.

These were the first two full episodes I've watched, and it's easy for me to feel nostalgic watching through them again... Things feel fairly different in them, which I guess is to be expected for pilot episodes testing out the formula, but it feels like the magic and defining hope of MLP was there from the beginning. It doesn't stand up too well compared to some of the later episodes, I won't deny it, but I loved the introductions for each of the Mane 6, and there were some lovely moments in it too (Fluttershy endangering herself to show kindness to the Manticore and Twilight teleporting behind Nightmare Moon come to mind, as well as Giggle at the Ghostie and Twilight's "Tell me she's not..." in response x3). It's the beginning of an amazing series; even with its flaws, it's hard not to feel thankful for it. Plus, so much Flutterliciousness...

I loved it, it was a pretty good episode and had a great opening to FiM series . It was lovely

Even if the 5th season is out   I still love these episodes more than every other episode ever,   it gives a great lesson even without the actual friendship lesson there  so in all these episodes were great, well developed, and its a great intro to the mane six and the princesses

The episode was great.. they came together in just 2 episodes,,, wow

[Green Precision 421]

This is the first episode I have ever watched like a lot of people. In my opinion, It was great; the whole thing was great, the scenes where they were showing their elements, the part where Nightmare Moon was shown and defeated, to the very end where it got all happy. 

 

8/10 on my chart ^.^ Good episode. 

[Luna_tic 120]

Wonderful story, great way to begin a series.  My girlfriend and I were hooked instantly after watching it with the original purpose of having a laugh at Bronies.  Well played, Lauren Faust, well played.

[Dark Diamond 21]

This was a fantastic 2-parter to open the series. The animation is great, and the Mane 6 were introduced really well. It's interesting to see how different they all were compared to now. 8/10.

[Brony Lounge 102]

Who here thinks episode one sucked? I don't

Ah yes, the Series premiere. the one that started it all and pretty much the start of the brony community. On an historical standpoint, this double episode is very important, but on it's own, it's just okay.

 

I think this episode works if you watch it the first time, because it introduces all the characters, who they are and also shows a bit on what this world is all about. But after that, there is nothing really much to come back for.

 

The first song of the show is very catchy and some of the antics are kinda funny, but the rest is just an exposition fest. And i also find Nightmare Moon to be none threatning, especially some of the obstacles she lays in the way of the mane 6.

 

None then less, it's still important and you should watch it to be introduced to the characters.

[terrib86 21]

I liked these two episodes, I feel like these two episodes were good as they introduced the mane 6 and their abilties. I thought the Nightmare Moon could have been scarier and more development, but overall I loved this episode!

[Cold Start 21]

this is what hooked me and it got me good

[FlyPie 86]

They COULD have been better. Just saying. 

[Mez 244]

I'm not sure Luna had that ability to change like that at will, I just think the jealousy and hatred consumed her. But after they saved her, she isn't able to go back to that form.

Personally, I loved the two episodes that began it all.

[CinnamonSwirl 90]

Why were the ponies surprised they were sisters? In the beginning they stated they were sisters. Twilight had to know because in the beginning the story drifted off snd twilight was continuing reading the story. That part confuses me.

[Shadow Wind 56]

They're what got me hooked on series. OF COARSE I LOVE THEM!  That's all I have to say about that, moving on.

Why were the ponies surprised they were sisters? In the beginning they stated they were sisters. Twilight had to know because in the beginning the story drifted off snd twilight was continuing reading the story. That part confuses me.

That's exactly what I was thinking! Maybe we could call and ask them.

[Hederik 119]

Ponies were uncool

Until minute two, that is

Then they ruled the world

 

Obligatory unnecessary reminiscing rambling for roleplay access, part 1/5

 

It was winter. It's hard to believe it was four years ago. The "new" ponies were a fad surfacing here and there on the internet, mostly annoying with their unwarranted insertion, but strangely eye-catching... Not at all like what I remembered my lil' sister watching to my utter disgust several years earlier. Finally, one day, I caved in after seeing a particularly-amazing artwork featuring a rainbow-maned pony. I think there were six or eight episodes already out by then. I don't think I've ever been glued as hard to the screen as during those few first hours.

 

Never regretted a minute of life spent being a brony.
