I wouldn't say that you need to be a huge anime/cartoon fan to enjoy MLP, but I will say that if you enjoy slice-of-life anime and cartoons, chances are you can definitely appreciate MLP for what it is.RomanticHeroX said:

I agree with this. FiM basically is an upbeat, slice of life comedy with adventure elements and weekly positive messages.TurbulentTurtle said:

Dragonshy is always the best episode to start with.

Sonic Rainboom is also quite nice.

I'd say the top 3 introduction episodes would be "Sonic Rainboom", "Dragonshy", and "Swarm of the Century".
No secret that I don't like "Party of One" very much, but I can understand why others would. That being said I think it would make for a terrible introduction episode. It does not have good moments with all the characters, and even Pinkie Pie is taken to pretty "out of character" extremes that don't really fit.Acerac said:

"Sonic Rainboom" is an AWFUL introduction. Much of the greatness of the episode comes from you already knowing Rainbow Dash pretty well so you just know what the stakes are for her. OMG, flying tournament!! OMG, Wonderbolts!!! ...as judges?? *faints*
Just don't do it.
My fave is still episode 4, Applebuck Season. Early in the series and really nice.

Swarm of the Century totally make sense. Dragonshy just seems a bit weak in comparison.
I've always liked Party of One as an intro episode due to the slightly over the top characterizations of all the ponies. I grant you that it's a bit extreme with all the representations of all the ponies, but I think it works. I believe there was an ED poll where it showed up as the top response for #1 show to introduce to new watchers as well, so I'm not alone in this thought.

Dragonshy isn't my favorite episode (though it's way up there), but it's the best intro because everyone gets a chance to shine. Also, A-Team parody. What beats that? Hint: Nothing.

Ticketmaster is another good introduction episode I think.
The Pilot episode might not be the best example of how the stories will go, but it is a great intro to all the characters.

Welcome back to the OT from your long exile, MLP-GAF. I suspect the forum has become accustomed to your presence and you will no longer be accosted.
Have fun with your ponies, and as always, keep it safe!

But you really don't get a sense of any of the characters, except Pinkie Pie. And even then it's not even a really good representation of her in the rest of the series.

Hmm... the point about Party of One making less sense if you're not familiar with Pinkie is a good one, same with Sonic Rainboom and RBD.
I guess that gives my nomination to Swarm of the Century. Very well rounded episode and it represents all the ponies pretty damn well without requiring tons of knowledge beforehand.
Your points are too logical, I can't disagree. My nomination for best starter ep has been changed to swarm of the century.

I manetain that a newcomer start at the beginning, being episodes 1 and 2, as it sets up the characters very well for the most part.
I know some ponies will argue that they are not at all the best episodes compared to of most of the others, but a someone new jumping in at an episode thats plot line is showing a character flaw of a one caracter doesn't really show what the series is about very well.
Especially if they jump in at Dog and Pony Show or Sonic Rainboom because Rarity's personality will probably turn them off from the show entirely.

That's pretty much WHY you have to start with the Pilot.
It's like the first episode of The Wire. Pretty much everyone's reaction entails something along the lines of confusion, apathy, and general disdain for the characters and their motivations. By the time they finish the first season, however, they're hooked.

I've always thought that Cutie Mark Chronicles was a decent episode to start off with, since it introduces you to the mane cast and explains their personalities well enough through their Cutie Mark stories.

Hey guys, while I may not be posting much these days, I haven't left the group! I've been working on a little PMV for AJ since shes under appreciated by the fandom. Been slow work since I've barely had time after I graduated (and here I thought unemployment would mean lots of free time, but instead its writing and sending out a million resumes!).
So I worked on this little country pmv for AJ in the 30mins to an hour free time I've had over the past 2 months and I've reworked a lot of it. I'm still kind of a noob at editing but this video marks a step towards more complex projects in the future.

I agree with Chuck. If you want to be introduced to the show properly it's worth watching the first two episodes before watching one of the other recommended episodes.ChuckNoLuck said:
Also, they may not be a good indication of the theme of the other episodes but I like the first two episodes a lot.
