Well, I've always been obsessed with animals, bright colors, toys, and animation, and I was a casual 粉丝 of the old My Little Ponies. (Never actually had any, because I just didn't see them very often...) Last October, I was checking out the website for the Hub, because it was replacing Discovery Kids--and I wanted to find out what sort of network was going to be responsible for depriving me of "The Future is Wild." As I explored the site, the channel actually seemed extremely promising to me. I read about the new versions of 草莓 酥, 脆饼 and Pound 小狗 and MLP. I was intrigued 由 the character descriptions and designs, so I watched the first two-parter episode right there on the Hub site. Well, one viewing was all it took to get me hooked. From there on, I made sure to check on YouTube for the future episodes as they were posted. Eventually, I discovered the 电视 schedule, and started to watch them on TV. I observed the numbers of fellow 小马 followers escalate over the months, from just a few handfuls of others, to the current thousands and thousands of Bronies who exist! (For the record, I also became a big 粉丝 of the other 80s cartoon remakes on the Hub--which I now regard as one of THE best networks on television. I adore 更多 of its shows than can be reasonably mentioned here. But they do appear to grasp that MLP is their best and most exciting new asset! ;) It truly is a phenomenon unlike anything I've ever seen, and I never could have imagined that such a beautiful thing would develop and unite people...not because the 显示 doesn't deserve its popularity (it DOES, in spades), but because the largely adult male fanbase watching a "little girl's cartoon show" is turning stereotypes and convention on their heads. Thank goodness for them. I'm a 24-year-old girl, and it satisfies me like no other to see so many happy, devoted, genuinely obsessed people of both sexes and all ages delighting in what really is a great, *great* show, with engaging and lovable characters, stories, animation, music, etc. I 爱情 that we can all just appreciate it for that.
