It wasn't hard for me to get into My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I'm a kid at heart, I like cute adorable things, and can enjoy watching
good girly shows like Powerpuff Girls and the Tinkerbell movies. The first G4 MLP thing I saw was the
ponified Spike Pilgrim trailer that was posted on the
Scott Pilgrim Facebook wall, which I liked so much that I shared it on my Facebook wall. But it was the
Know Your Meme episode about MLP that got me to realize that the new show wasn't
the same old thing and was worth checking out.
It wasn't until a couple of months later during the summer after season one ended that I was able to give the series a serious go. I couldn't sleep one evening so I watched ten episodes in a row via YouTube. I liked it, but didn't feel compelled to watch any more until months later when I added the HUB network to my cable lineup to record some more episodes to watch. After I purchased season one from iTunes, bought a season pass to season two, and bought an Apple TV to watch them on my HDTV, I faced that I'm no longer just had an on-the-fence fondness for the show, but was a full-on brony.
There's a lot to like about My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, but it would have been just a show to watch then delete from my TiVo if wasn't for the active fandom online. I don't even delve that deep. I routinely check out
My Little Brony and the
MLP picture section of Know Your Meme (which has several hundred fan art pics uploaded to it
every day,) and my interaction is limited to reading and replying to the brony comments of the pics. But when I watch videos like
Houston Bronies S2 Finale Party: A Canterlot Wedding (Raw Crowd Reactions), it makes me want to meet with other Bronies in person. So I'm looking forward to the Everfree con very much!
