I'm gonna come out and say it...I'm Brony.
Now I'm sure your asking, what's a brony? A brony is fan (usually male, but refers to the whole fandom) of the series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic which premiered in the 2010-2011 season on the channel The Hub. The latest series about pastel colored equines used to sell toys(think transformers except not robots),
The show revolves around a mane cast(get it) of six ponies. Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity and Pinkie Pie. The show mixes elements such adventure and slice of life story telling with out seeming like a whiplash effect mood wise. The show is also spectacularly animated considering that is done on Flash, coupled with excellent voice talents such as Tara Strong all the characters and their world are well thought out and feel tangible in understanding. Its also very well written and is truly comedic with several clever jokes, witty-pun, Loony Toon-esque physical comedy and obscure or old pop-culture references, which is very impressive considering that we in a time where kid shows rely heavily on just plain absurdness to get them to laugh.
The show became a surprise mega hit thanks to the internet culture. There are thousands of well written fanfics, millions of people flock to the official fansite Equestria Daily and the sheer amount of fan art, videos, mini-conventions(or meet-ups) is beyond surprising considering that first its a supposed girls cartoon and second that it all sort of started this year. The fandom fell into full swing this summer, me starting to watch the show at the start of may, and has become one of the largest and fastest growing online communities in history. Now you may seem on the fence on the show, but I think this will sway you in.
Welcome to the Herd Bronies! And now with the Highly Anticipated Second Season premiering tomorrow, after the Break I will countdown the Top 13 episodes of season one/
Warning Spoilers for Season 1 Beyond This Point, Beware, Beware!
