Now then, bronies. Lets get this ball rolling and not with a bunch of spammy gifs.

Heres some questions for you lot!

When did you discover the show?
What about the show do you like the most?
Are you shy about your inner brony? Or do you preach it from atop mountains?
Who's your favorite pony/character and why?


I discovered the show back in like, around June or something. I was seeing the images of the ponies all over the interwebz and got very curious. So i saw an episode that came on tv. It was Feeling Pinkie Keen. I was like "hmmm..interesting..." So i went to youtube and found the series and started from the beginning.

I like that this show takes the name and idea of My Little Pony and turns it on its head so to speak. While as a child, i loved the original MLP, it was in reality, rather generic and not very interesting. This show, however, is completely different. Im insanely jealous that this version of the show didnt exist when i was a kid. It still keeps the innocent atmosphere but also adds more humor, character development, and situations that the original (and even some cartoons these days) totally lacked. Characters are very fleshed out and not as stereotypical as they seem. Like Rarity. While being a fashionista thats common in girls cartoons, shes not a shopoholic and designs her fashions and wishes to share them with the world. Thats such a huge step for stuff like that...

Im not horribly vocal about my love for this show. I mean i let it be known but besides saying "yeah ponies!", im not like, all over the place with it. The only fandom im hugely vocal about being a part of is Harry Potter. I dont see it as a taboo or anything, i just...dont shout from the rooftops that much.

My favorite pony in the main cast is Twilight Sparkle. Shes the voice of reason a lot of the time. Shes got a calmer voice than the others too so that helps. But shes also quirky with her intelligence and i like that. She really grows to be less "BOOOOOOKS" and more like "yeah man." I love her dynamic with the rest of the cast.
I also love Luna. She rules. Luna Eclipsed is my favorite episode because...omg...Luna is everything i always wanted her to be! <333

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic II

Alright, question time!

When did you discover the show?

I discovered the show around the time The Hub premiered, because myself being an avid animation fan, I looked at The Hub's schedule. I had no idea how good this show would be. In around April, I found out about bronies and such. I didn't really think much of them. They liked something, and for me, it was no big deal. I didn't really care. Then, in late May I decided to give the show a try, I liked Episode 1, but didn't really bother to watch any of the other ones. Then, in mid June, a few days after my graduation, I decided to give the show another chance, and then, that's when I watched the first 5 episodes that night. I wasn't as hardcore as other people, I finished the first season in about 2 weeks or so. I later lost interest during the hiatus, but got back into the show a few weeks after Season 2 premiered.

What about the show do you like the most?

How real the characters are. They aren't one-dimensional. Sure, you have your bookworm, and your athlete, and your country girl. But here's the thing, they aren't just that. There's more to them than that. They won't play this stereotype until the day this show ends. They will delve deeper and develop as characters. Character development is important for any sort of story. I think this plays a role. When Twilight Sparkle moves to Ponyville, she hates the place. Then, by the end of the 2nd episode, you can see she enjoys Ponyville, even before the end of episode 2.

Are you shy about your inner brony? Or do you preach it from atop mountains?

See, the thing about being a brony is, I don't like to reveal it. I used to preach it, back in late June I was called a freak by a former classmate. There was one person, who I have to say, is a true friend, who didn't really care, and didn't hold it against me. What I don't like is being labeled as a furry, I am still in this argument on YouTube with a troll, about how bronies aren't furries. I know I should never feed a troll, but I just always take it to heart. That's something that should never happen. Then of course, my infamous rant, and dear God, if something like that ever happens again, I don't think I will be able to look at myself the same way.

Who's your favorite pony/character and why?

I'll be lame and say I don't have one. I think they all have their moments where they are at the top of my list, and moments where they are at the bottom of my list.

Everyone there kept on raving about the Luna Eclipsed episode, so I asked what it was all about. Someone explained the show to me, and I went and watched the show.
At first, I was laughing at how absurd it was, but by the end of the first episode, the characters had begun to grow on me. By the end of the third episode, I was in love with the show.

I'm a fan of cartoons in general, and this show is just like the shows I watched growing up. It's a great show, and also very quotable, and the fantastic animation and good morals of it all is just the icing on the cake.

Edit: And the music! I'm a huge fan of musicals and just music in general, and this show has FANTASTIC music. I absolutely love it.

Quote:

Depends who I'm with. All my friends know, but none of them are open minded enough to try it out. Some of them are even stuck in the anti Brony stage.

Quote:

Fluttershy of course!
She is so kind to everypony, regardless of the situation. I've even tried to emulate her kindness and compassion in my day to day life.
She has the best quotes (aside from Pinkie Pie), and she is super adorable. I just love her

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic II

I discovered the show because of memebase actually. I was reading about how bronies were demanding more pony pictures or something, so they got their own section. I was confused what this is all about. I remember reading a meme saying that you can't just watch one or two episodes before deciding it was good, you had to get to like episode 10 before you realized that these ponies had something for everybody. So, I said "ok Internet. I shall take your advice." I watched the first two episodes and I wasn't that impressed. But the Internet told me I must go to episode 10, so I went on. But by episode 8 I was hooked.

I'm not sure what I like most about the show. So I'll go for the obvious. The ponies and their quotable lines. And songs. And how even though this is about learning about friendship, its not being shoved down your face in an obnoxious manor.

I'm pretty vocal, but its more of "you should watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic...why are you laughing I'm being completely serious." And whenever I see pony merchandise I'm like "Ponies!" and giggle. I'm not exactly closet about it, but after my peace is said in trying to find more bronies I usually stay quiet about it.

My favorite pony is obviously Princess Luna. She is just socially awkward in an adorable kind of way if that makes any sense at all xD I also like Applejack and Pinkie Pie a lot.

I feel the need to step up for my fellow bretheren when I see them needlessly attacked. Especially when they are pony haters who haven't even seen one episode.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic II

Something about a new thread makes me feel... refreshing. But Spike, the best Dragon and number one assistant of Twilight is here.

But ooh, question time.

When Did You Discover The Show?
Way back in May, the Brony fandom had found it's way onto a forum that I usually go to, Rareware Archives, and a user there challenged me to watch it, and I was like, whatever and I watched it and liked it... a lot. And I've been a full fledged Brony since July 14, 2011.

What About The Show Do You Like The Most?
EVERYTHING!

Are You Shy About Your Inner Brony? Or do you preach it from atop mountains?
I would say that I'm kind of in the middle, if someone were to ask me if I liked it, then I would say that I did, I wouldn't lie about it.

Who's Your Favorite Pony/Character, And Why?
Don't make me choose, I CAN'T CHOOSE! D:

anyhow.

When did you discover the show?

Last spring, I don't know the exact date, but I discovered the elder scrolls and starcraft 2 crossover videos, posted them on my facebook and jokenly said "If the show itself is half this good, I'll watch it in a heartbeat.

Next thing I knew I saw a few more pictures/avys/sigs on various sites with the ponies in various websites. So I looked it up on tvtropes, which basically said the show was awsome.

I decided I was a MAN OF MY WORD and jokenly watch a few episodes, while making rude comments about it on facebook. (one was them was along the lines of, Ok so the basic plot so far is that the princess has told the main character she needs to get laid.)

next thing I know, I finished both episodes, and watched the next one, then the next one... etc.

What about the show do you like the most?

How different it is from typical television. I think it is freshing to see something bright and colorful. It is able to be really good without taking itself seriously most of the time. (Which makes the creepy moments creepier) But the show is still able to have a diverse cast, each with their strengths and weaknesses.

Are you shy about your inner brony? Or do you preach it from atop mountains?

I preach it from every mountain I climb, I have no shame. Most of my friends are bronies so that helps too.

Who's your favorite pony/character and why?

Fluttershy, she's just so adorable. If you don't have a calming effect rush over you when you see her, YOU HAVE NO SOUL!

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic II

Holy crap a new thread? That last one moved fast.

When did you discover the show?

Like, what, 5 months ago? I saw a few avatars around here as far as the first time I'd seen it goes. A friend was showing some funny pictures. I asked where they were from, and he directed me to KnowYourMeme, where after spending some time browsing some funny pics to pass the time, I noticed that the top trending page was titled "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic".
Curiosity struck, and after reading the page, I connected the dots, in that the avatars I'd been seeing here on ZU were in fact directly out of this show. Curiosity pushed further as to why this show had some how gathered a fanbase of completely Off-Target viewers. So I give the show a chance from Episode one, albeit somewhat reluctant.

What about the show do you like the most?
I was instantly hooked by the art style, especially that Story-Book style intro in the Pilot- that reminded me of Wind Waker a lot. Beyond that I was quickly impressed by the balance of the more classic, 90s-style so to speak approach to the overall presentation of the show. Along with that, it had manged to do something few cartoons I've watched have successfully done- A near perfect balance between Dynamic Action, Character Development, and Comedy.

Are you shy about your inner brony? Or do you preach it from atop mountains?
I'm not that big on it. I haven't ever made it a secret to anyone, I'm pretty open and told a lot of people about the show, hoping they'd give it a shot, but I honestly wouldn't even consider myself under the title "Brony". That and I just don't like the word.
I'm in to a lot of different and seemingly unrelated things anyway and a known Cartoon kind of guy around my parts.

Who's your favorite pony/character and why?
Twilight Sparkle.
Because why the hell not.

Back in late July. A ZUer introduced it to me. Idk if anyone remembers but my first pony avatar was dashie saluting the American flag. Little known to me, people were still extremely anal to ponies back then.

Oh god, where to begin? I love the animation. I love the characters (as well as their voices). The musicals are the bomb. What isn't there to like about it besides some horrid fanfiction?
Quote:

I'm not as proud as people think. This is virtually the only place I talk about ponies, so I'm not very open about it.
Quote:

It's a three way tie between fluttershy, rainbow dash, and pinkie. Fluttershy is just plain adorable and her kindness inspires me to be nicer to my friends and fellow ZUers. Sounds cheesy and stupid but true. Rainbow dash is my homegirl! I am like her in so many ways. I boast, I'm quite blunt, and I'm easily annoyed. Pinkie Pie is just plain hilarious.
