Hello Everyone, Hope all is well!
As you can probably tell by my username, I am a "proto-brony" because I am still on the fence about the show. As of this post, I have seen the first 3 episodes of season 1 and I thought it was pretty good. I promised my brony friend that I would watch the first season with an open mind. Here are my thoughts so far.
What I like about the show:
High Production Value- I'm sure you have heard this before, but I'll say it again. The quality of the voice acting is very good, the animations are very smooth, and the character designs are very dynamic, meaning the character "look" like their personality. That is something, at least in my opinion, is rare on TV and movies.
The Friendship Lessons and the Elements of Harmony- The Elements of Harmony, Loyalty, Honesty, Love, Generosity, Laughter and Kindness are values that I think that are worth adopting. I think that if people treated each other with kindness and were honest with each other, we would be living in a better world.
Now, with all of that said, here's the other side of the coin, for me at least.
I just can't really overlook the stigma of watching the show as a male. I "like" watching the show, but as a male I almost feel "dirty" watching the show. "Dirty" is the closest word I can use to describe the feeling. its really hard to explain. I saw both Saberspark's "Ballad of the Brony" and "Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony". I think I seen the latter about 4 times already. In fact I am watching it as I type. They both opened my mind about the whole thing but I'm still on the fence about it.
All in all, I do sorta like it but I digress,
Hope to see you guys and gals around the forum!
