In my particular case it was first for the lols (when i just watched the image macros and stuff) then i go to watch some episodes and i realized that it was an Excelent and well made show and some of the best mind in the bussines work in it, yeah, it doesn't have the "edge" that some other shows has (Adventure Time for example) but it compensate that for the quality in animation, voice acting, and it's clean but very good humor. As you can see, i really like it.
It's an honest fascination. It's a My Little Pony cartoon that's actually good, has an innocent sense of humor and tackles some surprising subjects in a fair and straightforward way. Add some interesting characters and a stellar voice cast, plus a very proven writing staff and you've got a show that's a lot better than anything with the My Little Pony brand has any right to be.BakedPigeon said:
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is just good. Which, considering the brand, is fascinating.
Also it's a genuinely "nice" show. You know how a lot of series have a cynical view with people being jerks? My Little Pony has none of that. Well, almost none of that, but those characters that behave that way usually get what's coming to them, without the main cast becoming jerks, too. Watching the show does require a certain tolerance for cuteness, I'll admit, but it IS My Little Pony. You wouldn't watch Transformers if you hated trucks and robots either.
The avatars? It's a fad. It happens. Give it a month or two, then the season is over and there'll be a new fad. Like Duke Nukem Forever, perhaps. That'd be about that time.
I'm really looking forward to when MLP goes full on into more Chuck Jones inspired antics. They've already flirted with it in Pinkie Keen and Over a Barrel but I would really like an episode dedicated as a complete homage to Looney Tunes. I think they could really do something special with it kinda like how Batman: The Brave and the Bold had an episode dedicated to the silly covers of classic comic book covers a while ago.

Well-written episodes and gags, solid characterisation, extremely pretty animation, innocent sense of humour, lack of cold-hearted cynicism, and general all-around feel-goodness.
May not be for everybody. Standard PonyGAF recommendation is the first two episodes plus two random episodes from later, but I appreciate you might not want to watch two hours of Ponies before you decide whether you like it or not.
Not posted yet? Good.

I have yet to see the show, but this is the strongest selling point to me by FAR. I loved Arthur as a kid.
Just a strong, wholesome cartoon. Also, D.W. was my annoying sister. rrraaarggghhh
Where are my moon boots? I want moon boots.

I a 23 male loves this show because of the Humor, great use of animation principles that were used in old disney movies but are being flash 8:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_basic_principles_of_animation and its by a female animator that knows how to her stuff and is married to Craig McCracken( creator of Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends + Power puff girls) Also i love the BG/characters.coldvein said:

Just got done watching the most recent episode.
that was.... terrible. The political message was ham-fisted, the moral as saccharine as all the detractors think the whole show is, the new secondary characters were either dull or annoying, and seemingly everypony was out of character. Even the musical number sucked. Only redeeming feature was the first 5 or so minutes, the fluttershy/tree conversation especially.

Bulbasaur eliminated by Rainbow Dash (Pinfall)
Magikarp enters the ring. Magikarp uses splash. But nothing happens.
Rainbow Dash, confident from the thrill of victory, boasts that she's about to end this match in ten seconds flat, but that's when Twilight Sparkle notices that Magikarp's got a foreign object. Suddenly she understands what's going on -- it's an Exp. Share, and the whole time the rest of his team has been fighting, Magikarp has been gaining experience from the battle.
And now, that experience is paying off: Magikarp is evolving.
Twilight tries to warn Rainbow Dash, but it's too late; she flies right into a Hyper Beam and gets instantly KOed.

The MK resurgence is so WIERD to me.
Although I just realized people's interest in that game is to me what your interest in MLP is to MLP haters, so I have now learned a lesson.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it turns out that portuguese translators and authors always translate it literally as "salto de fé", and since it was so adequate for the occasion, I kept it that way. I'm not worthy of your love. ;_;Amibguous Cad said:
Flutttershy is 100% played as a moe character, yes. And there's nothing wrong with that, because she's probably the better implemented moe character I've ever seen. She doesn't get grating or irritating. Most moe characters in anime become annoying because they never totally let go of their moeblob natures, even when they're supposed to actually be competent, because the creators seem to be to afraid that we stop liking them if they grow a spine or something. The payoff when Fluttershy finally gets to the point where she is able to rise above her limitations is incredible, and that is enough for us to know: yes, she's shy; Yes, she's adorable; But the spine is there, and we'll go all IGN-guys-cheering whenever she gets to show it.Amibguous Cad said:
As for Rainbow Dash, even though I don't really appreciate her cockiness, I could actually appreciate her more if she got humbled more often. Most of the times, it just seems like she's a jerk for whom being "friendly" is something that doesn't come naturally, and she only keeps the act because she doesn't want to be alone, and needs someone around to praise her "awesomeness" and mad flying skills. The episode that pushed her to last place in my eyes, was "Fall Weather Friends", where she seems to be itching all the time to use under-hoofed tactics and cheating, because winning is more important to her than keeping Applejack's respect.
Man, why do these things always happen while I'm asleep? It's like I have the curse of the blitz or something!Jintor said:

Unfortunately for her, I am no pony.
But I am allowed to learn lessons because of "friends" right?
oh god what is happening

Because Disney has demonized the concept of queens in their fiction instead favoring princesses as being good natured icons. Apparently this is so ingrained into the minds of our youth that if I remember correctly Hasbro denied Lauren's request for a Queen Celestia. Fearing that her image would be immediately recognized as being villainous.
