I want to make music and flash animations, but I can't make them the way they are in my head, and I can't settle for less. Oh, and I'm awesome. :P

MLPFiM: The show that could make YOU about 20% cooler than you otherwise would be!

Why not make a news post?

My obsession for over a month now: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Any fans here? A forum search didn't find any recent threads... Though I know I found a thread a couple weeks ago. Mods don't like the show, maybe?

If you don't know what the show is, or think people are crazy for liking it: It's a new, funny, upbeat show with smooth animation, smart writing, likable characters, and a friendly community made up of fans from a PeripheryDemographic the creators (Who sometimes take part in communities' discussions) probably didn't expect. I don't think it's possible to watch through a few episodes with a group of friends on SynchTube and not feel happy by the end. *Cough* Unless you're consciously denying that you like the show and forcing yourself to dislike it. Sure it's My Little Pony, but that's where some of the fun comes in! I don't think any of the show's biggest fans, at least online, could've ever predicted that they'd ever like anything related to My Little Pony. Or ponies in general. Now they do, and they're shocked. Most fans get comfortable with that after a while, and they get together and start making jokes about how it's the manliest show ever, ponies are the only thing that matters, bronies will take over the world, etc. It's extremely satisfying to get others into the show, ESPECIALLY people who think you've gone insane. Plus, most episodes are easy to find on YouTube (The creators and animators are fine with unofficial uploads, and occasionally link to them from their sites and leave comments), making it easy to spread around.

Start with episode 1 and work through them! Be aware: You're probably not going to like it within ten minutes. I was semi-forced to watch episodes 1 and 2 by my sister, then I watched 3 and 4 after seeing a couple clips, a few online friends discussing it, and some general online fanfare. I decided the show was pretty good, and I was interested enough to keep going. After watching 5-9, I started trying to get others into the show. After episodes 10-16, I realized this was the best new western cartoon I'd seen in about 6 years. Some episodes aren't as great as others, and the newer ones (For the most part) are loved more than the earlier ones, but they're all enjoyable.

If something about the animation or writing feels familiar: It's probably related to Powerpuff Girls/Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

So... any fans here? Anyone who'll join me when I want to watch a few episodes on SynchTube? :3
