Where did this all come from? I have no problem with this show, in fact I plan to watch it sometime soon. The thing is that before last week I'd never heard of it. Then out of freaking nowhere it's an off day for the internet if I don't see at least 3 ponies or pony references. This sort of popularity doesn't come out of freaking nowhere!

Ponies? Seriously?

Is it some sort of ironic hipsterism or is this something anime does to people?
No, it's the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, an animated half-hour TV show created by Hasbro Toys.

No, this is not some sort of ironic hipsterism, unless you call 4chan a den of hipster innanity. Most people watch it because they genuinely enjoy the show. The characters are dynamic and fairly non-sterotypical, any musical numbers fit well into the show, the animation is good and the plots are so well written, it's possible to forgive the writers for the moral heavy-handedness of the endings.

And no, this is not some side affect of watching anime. Is it not possible that people who watch My Little Ponies actually enjoy the TV program, for reasons unrelated to anime, manga, Western animation or children's card games?

I don't know, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's the snowball effect. People get hooked, tell their friends. The friends get hooked and tell more people. So on and so forth,

I would be surprised and disappointed in the Escapist if this was really the first pony thread, but anyway Twilight is being seriously underrepresented here.

EDIT: Rarity and Applejack are also being underrepresented. Why does everyone dislike the ponies I like, and vice-versa? Kids these days have no taste in ponies.

This is what we call 'Viral' in popularity terms. It's mind blowing how popular the show became so quickly, but I think the creative team makes the best case for the show. Faust and McCracken are very talented, as well as the VAs.

I'm just thankful that this is from good word of mouth rather than the obnoxiousness of something like EA's marketing.

1. No, trust me I thought so awhile back as well until I made a thread asking what was with all the Pony Avatars and then became one.

2. It isn't an anime.
I would have never of known about the series if it wasn't for your thread, and now I've turned into a bronie.

Yeah, I really don't get it either. I tried watching it but it's really not that great or funny. Give me Johnny Bravo any day. I'd watch it if there was nothing else to watch but sadly there is.

I can't bag on people for having Pony avatars since I have Private as mine.

That's the way it happened with me. And...I must say it.
