I decided it was time to give it a proper go instead of just watching out of context clips, and swallowed my pride long enough to type "MLP S1 Ep1" into youtube.

I watched it. All the way through.

I was very pleasantly surprised. It was kiddish, sure, but not to the extent that it made me want to vomit my own testicles out of my nostrils. It was surprisingly entertaining and didnt seem to pander to any particular target audience - at least not the assumed ones anyway. It had charm. I found the characters to be very likeable and, fucking hell i cant believe im sayin this, but it certainly left me wanting to see what happened next.

It was odd. As I pressed play i felt very peculiar. But this faded as soon as i saw the Tapestry-esque intro to the series. It made me hearken back to the days of Samurai Jack and Foster's Home. Soon as i saw the intro i thought to myself "whoa. This thing actually could be worth my time".

I struggled through the - absolutely terrible, im sorry but it has to be said - main theme, but as soon as Twilight Sparkle (I FUCKING KNOW THEIR NAMES THEY ARE IN MY HEAD ALREADY) started meeting all the others i was pretty much in a state of "man this shit is alright."

The humour kept me watching, i gotta admit i giggled a few times and, yeah, i kinda awww'd at Fluttershy's squeek. (d'awww - I MEAN MEAT, BASEBALL, WOMEN, GRRRR), and as the episode drew to a close i found myself looking at the time elapsed and saying "oh no! This isnt gonna get solved in this episode!"

If im saying anything here, its that the writers, artists and voice actors did a fucking good job. To make someone as set in his ways as me actually - get ready for this - ENJOY something such as My Little Pony, fucking cudos to them.

So. Where do i stand on the brony thing?? I wouldnt identify as one - Im a furry above all else, i love this fandom over everything else so sorry Bronydom, but you aint having RJ - but i think my youtube history may have a chronological list of episodes over the next few weeks.

To all my brony friends - and i know there are A FEW *cough* zearfox  aplywoodfox  lantu*cough* - count me in for the fun and story discussions. But dont try and push me. If i ever do decide Im a brony, itll be under MY Conditions. (not that you guys would. Love ya :3)

So. Until next time...

Love and Tolerance. >:3

PEACE OUT Y'ALL.
