Joking aside, have you checked out a couple of episodes like I said earlier in the thread? If you don't like it by five episodes then chances are you're immune.
Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.

Well, i've seen one episode. But that was ages ago. If I remember correctly, it was good, but not that good. My favourite part about it was the animation.

The general rule of thumb is five episodes, cause if you pick a random episode there's a chance you could get a episode isn't popular. If you view five then you get a feel for the show and know whether or not it's something you'd like.

Then I watched more...
That was my exact thought, including the bit on the animation.

Same with my roommate.
Yep. Happened to me too. I didn't love it after 1 episode. It took a few for me to get into it.

On an unrelated note, this msc32 guy must have been crazy. Banned post in here and locked thread with a rather interesting title in the Off Topic section.
Yeah, it's a slow burn kind of show. I think it takes a while to chip away at your manliness defenses.

If so, why aren't you watching it right now? :V (Really, though, it's a pretty good show).
Did you never watch Cardcaptor Sakura?

On-topic: I'm still amazed at this fandom's admiration for background ponies.
It's Keroberos, and this is its true form is that lion in the back. Where do you think you've seen him? The odd thing is not having seen the protagonist, really, she's like the second most famous magical girl after Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon.

Fun fact: My favorite pony is Lyra. Mostly because of fanon, actually.
It's actually amazing how much fanon is purely devoted to background characters that appear for all of a few seconds. I love it though, since people come up with the most ridiculous and amazinthings just because of one little nuance about a pony. On top of that there's the FiM wiki project of voting on names for the background ponies.

*watches the episode with the grouchy donkey*
End of episode: sniff....sniff.... *wipes eyes*
I agree with the donkey though. Pinkie needs to tone it down sometimes. No one can keep up with that kind of energy.

That's how hard it is for me to chose a favorite, I can't even narrow the list down to ten.
I can't even choose a favorite pony, but if I had to choose it'd be the mane6, luna, derpy+doctor whooves+sparkler+dinky, lyra, bonbon, cloudchaser, flour de lis, big macintosh, octavia+vinyl scratch.

Well, I guess I won't get to understand it unless I become a full-on MLP fan who participates in the fandom beyond liking the show.

There's nothing wrong with just being a fan of the show. It's not like there's a requirement.

I legitimately enjoy character reinterpretaions (all of Celestia's are pretty sensible), as well as the ocassional video, and stay late at night listening to one-liners from kyrospawn's channel because I really enjoy the voice-acting in the series. The background ponies, though, I'll never understand. I mean, I have some sort of fixation with Braeburn, but at least he had speaking parts, a great voice and some charm in his attitude. How do you get that from a pony that doesn't last even for a minute?
No, no, I see nothing wrong with that, either. It's just that I (like I've said many times) still don't see how people notice this stuff and dedicate it so much time. It was easy to understand with Derpy and Dr. Whooves because of their peculiarities, but not so much with ponies like Berry Punch or Octavia, whom I wouldn't remember or notice were it not for all the fan-material devoted to them.

Mati, "HEART!"
CF, "thanks Mati, you're not completely useless. Now go stand in the corner until nostalgia critic needs another joke"
Cause hasbro may have created the ponies, but gave them a story. With characters like octavia, berry punch or such it's highly unlikely they're ever have a episode dedicated to them or become regular characters. The fans on the other hand fans poured their hearts into creating interesting back stories, family, friends, lovers, etc.

"I love the show, my favorite parts are the things the fans come up with" THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!
But that's not fucking canon, and I really don't this fandom >:[

1) Its massive popularity, first of all.
2) The amount of effort people put in fan material. I mean, fanon of fanon. Stuff like Turnabout Storm is really well done, keeps everybody in character and uses the options that awake from the crossover, but those are two established canons mixing. Stuff like agreeing on full characterization for a recurring background pony with NO LINES... I appreciate creativity, but that feels like taking it too far. Prefering it to the canon even? That's all right, but how do people get so attached to these background ponies? Not even K-On fans take it this far: they even know the names of every girl in the class because it's official material, and at least those have had a line or moment of focus from what I hear.
3) The way some bronies seem to think the show is the ultimate godsend, so much they try to transform fan events into something that strays from the spirit of its target demographic. My guess is that Ashleigh Bell repeating that line from Apple.MOV is a case of this. If anything, this fandom seems to shatter a segment of gender stereotypes and accentuate them at the same time, or at least that's how it feels at times.
Often I think some bronies like what they put into the show rather than what it is. That said, I still don't get many things of the things this show has caused:
1) Its massive popularity, first of all.
