    Saw the pictures everywhere and they were hilarious. After seeing the mods post ponies for the third time on the League of Legends forums and my cousin talking about it, I went and watched all of the episodes.

    "Nightmare Moon is such a badass..." -Moments before deciding to watch more than the pilot episodes.

    A similar story. I visit Memebase regularly when I'm bored and I saw My Little Brony and I wondered what all this pony hype was about a few months ago. I saw a ton of pony videos on YouTube and figured there must be something behind this show. I finally one day decided I would watch the pilot and I instantly loved the show. I wasn't in too good of a mood that day and gave it a shot and through the entire episode I was just filled with overwhelming joy. It seemed so genuine I had to fall in love with it. And a few weeks later when I had an essay due and instead watched five episodes before typing up the essay past midnight, I knew I was a fan. And now I'm buying probably too much merchandise but it makes me happy. It's the best part of my day when I watch episodes. I was still trying to get over depression and I think this show has helped me develop a better mood for life.

    I did too watch the first 5 episodes in the first season. Watch them all the way up to the last one before season 2 came out. Someone made me watch the first on youtube. So yeah I'm pretty happy to be a Brony instead of a Hedgehog, cause I hate Sonic The Hedgehog now.

    I was playing mortal kombat with my cousin we played for a few hours
    decided to take a break and surf YouTube for something funny and we came across a video titled 300 ponies and we said why not
    after watching it and seeing that it was pretty funny, and started joking about the show actually being good then we just decided why not
    we watched episode 1 and liked it well enough we watched 2 to see how things went then watched 3 to see were the show was headed from there finally we watched 4 to see what this gala was all about, but as we all know that wasn't coming for a while though we didn't really care we had already become wrapped up in the show
    that is how I became a brony and have been proud to be ever since

    I have a bunch of friends that are Bronies that I talk to every day on Kongregate. They would talk about how good the show was and how developed the characters were. Being the open minded guy that I am I decided to watch an episode. They directed me to watch "Party of One". I liked the characters and got some laughs and all, but it wasn't enough for me. I talked to them more and saw the various meme's around. I got a bit more pony-curious and after seeing some fan based stuff I decided to try watching from episode 1 and see if it kept my intrest now. When Twilight Sparkle introduced herself to Fluttershy I fell in love with Fluttershy. The next day I talked to them some more and told them that I'm not sure if I would become a Brony but that I liked that episode and would be interested to watch more. They warned me that 4 episodes was the point of no return. After watching episode 4 and Applejack with not nearly enough sleep, I was convernted. They welcomed me to the herd and I joined this site. It wasn't until joining this site that I began to learn what being a Brony really is all about though. It is something I'm still grasping, but have learned so much about in the past week. I'm now on episode 19 and loving it more and more all the time.

    Curiosity is the key word we are looking for. I might think now or then before that a part of me or my feminine side started to take control of me to play this game where i watch this episode and see how it is. The look of the show was very colorful when i say it on youtube and gave it a go. Didn't suspect to like it at all, so i sat though the first and at first, I was all like " This is pretty decent" and BOOM!! Cliffhanger and me being a big cliffhanger guy, My curiosity drove me to the point that I must know what it to happy to the 6 pony and this villian, Nightmare Moon. Watch the next episode of two part episode and after it was over, I was yelling out in my head, this just blew my Godd**n mind! This isn't the MLP that we all been shoved down are throats? the 3 or 4th episode got me looking at the design of the characters...They looks like Powerpuff girl eyes and animation style in pretty much the same. Look up some research and i found out that Mrs. Faust was the director and was part of the PPG show (which was my favorite show on CN). At that point i was hooked on the 2nd episode, and never regret ever watching this show...The jokes are funny, the Character are likeable and can connect to people in the real world, Amazing Animation and Story. I Love it. :3
