Re: My Little Pony (Original title: The... um, yeah. The bronies thread.)
I didn't think it would end up happening, but with my love of animation and cartoons in general being what it is it was only a matter of time before I crumbled and started watching this damn show.
At first it was difficult to see how the fandom got this bloated and extreme at all, but there really are quite a few quality moments and scenes, the writing is above average, the characters are (varyingly) corny but definitely likable, and most importantly of all it doesn't have the conceited attitude some cartoons portray in over-simplifying things because "it's for kids".
So yeah, I quite like it myself. But I still don't understand the freakish overnight storm of dedicated fans, or brony "culture", or any such nonsense.
