But but but but I don't wanna leave. I like posting in threads!

You can always do what I do Chagen. Watch it. Criticize it. Throw a hissy fit when people don't enjoy the criticism.

You're different Lucky. You aren't complaining about the show.

yaaaaaay

I really do intend to watch this show eventually, and I probably will like it. Until then I'm just posting here because I'm impressed by how fast this thread is getting posts...

I have to say I was dubious, but it is actually quite fun to watch...

Well, I guess that settles tha-

...

...Dove, did you seriously just decide to watch a My Little Pony Show because the main character struck a nice chord with their colors? -_-

Hey. Aesthetics are a VERY important part of ANY form of entertainment.

^Indeed. Or at least this show.

Also,

^^It's not that dumb a reason.

I think it's because it wasn't expected to be good, kind of like the first iron Man movie. It was a great movie that had no right to be based on the merit that it was a comic book adaptation. This show, is like that. It shattered expectations and now it seems greater than it actually is. Basically if you set a low standard and what you see turns out to be above average, you're going to like it even more. There's a certain pscyhe/mindset for this but I'm unaware of it's true nature.

Oh, I think it's pretty okay, I watched out it of simple curiosity and pure boredom and now i'm intrigued. Guide dang you Tropers. Though I do find Troper trends to be fascinating. When everyone was all hopped up on GK Court avatars I got curious enough to read and liked, when it was Touhou couldn't care less, when it was Homestuck I wanted to be gone of that noise when I tried it, and with this, I can't turn away.

The art is a great reason to watch.

Odd. I found this series very easy to turn away from, due to its episodic nature.

@ Anonus and RAH: I just expected better of myself, you know?

^^I'd say that makes it easier to get into.

Saturn: The art is half the reason I have any interest in watching this show. It's a very nice style I'll admit.

I would have loved to see arcs for this show.

AU: I dunno, there is a difference between episodic yet serial shows, and completely and utterly episodic. You get a lot of shows like power rangers that have an overarching plot but many episodic episodes. Then you get something like Dora the Explorer (not being insulting, only one I can think of at the moment) that has no overarching plot, and just is episodic.

I saw the art for this show and I was blown away.

Is it wrong that I decided to check out this show yesterday purely because of reading Fluttershy's section on the character sheet page?

Good gravy, why is it always the cripplingly shy characters with me?

For some reason Justice League sprang to mind when I thought of an arc-based show that is easy to get into. Even though I haven't watched it in like three years.

I feel you Kyler Thatch.

Also, it's possible that this show is still episodic but does have some kind of serial plot. We haven't seen that much of it yet.

@AU: I never saw it. Heh.

I mean, episodic works well for some series, like Phineas and Ferb for instance (although I do so love those call backs). I think MLP would have worked better as mostly episodic with a bit of plot sprinkled liberally.

@Saturn: Very true. For now though, I think the show is probably just trying to establish a foothold.

This show isn't episodic because executives think that girls are all stupid whores who live only to buy merchandise.

If a show was brought to Hub right now with a plotline but aimed at boys, it would be approved. Execs are sexist/misogynist like that.
