My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
So yesterday I watched an episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, the first episode of the series that I have ever actually watched.
It was the newest episode (I think), Episode 18, where Pinkie Pie tries to befriend Cranky Doodle Donkey.
To be honest, I really wasn't expecting much. I have never been interested in "girly" cartoons and, despite all of the praise the series has, I thought it'd just be another show whose fanbase produces more material than the actual company does. Which is to say, I thought the show would be terrible and the only reason it had any fans was because the fans saw room for improvement through fanfics, fanart, fan music, and the like.
Yet surprisingly I enjoyed the episode. Pinkie Pie broke the fourth wall a few times (does she do that often?) and the song wasn't that bad at all. I was kind of hoping Cranky would not become her friend at the end, but the way it was done made sense. I can see why the show's so popular.
Of course, I have seen only one episode so far, so I can't fairly judge the rest of the series. And, despite the praise I gave this episode, I do not consider myself a brony. My interest in it largely depends on whether the rest of the series is as entertaining as that episode, although right now I have no plans to watch more episodes in the near future, mostly 'cause I have other things I want to do.
Still, that episode certainly gave me a good first impression of the series, which means I probably will watch more episodes some time, but again not any time soon due to other competing interests.
