So fellow bronies, what dragged you into the best series ever!
For me I think it was seeing a ton of reaction images across /b/ around the time Fall weather friends came out thinking "wtf is it a new meme or something to troll this show, or do they actually like it?" Start following more threads, watch the first episode:

Ratty has another forum for his other minecraft server and for TF2. On it a pony themed thread got started, at first I kind of loled and thought it was a joke, then I realized people were being serious about liking it, so for a while I just thought people were being weird and I tried ignoring the thread. Fortunately for me I somehow kept on going back and looking at the thread, and finally I decided to watch it just to see what all the fuss was about.

This is me during my early experience with MLP:FiM

My experience was a lot like Imperator's, with one difference. I saw the thread on the Nom server about the plans to open a MLP themed server, and it brought back memories. When I was still a young lad in elementary school, every kid my age who was willing to play with me was a girl. I watched a lot of the original show, and I think I might still have my old G1 pony toys in a box somewhere if they didn't get put in a garage sale.

I watched the first episode of Friendship is Magic, and the rest is history.

I never liked the 80s stuff, it was all little girls brushing their manes, no thank you. FiM is the only version I like. I think of it like a good cartoon that just has an unfortunate name.

My best friend first began to tell me that he loved the show, and if he said it, it had to be somehow true. (because he is my best friend)

I decided to give it a go, and the animation caught me instantly. Although I kept repeating myself till episode 4 "OHGODWHYAMIWATCHINGTHIS"

I think thats what gives it the bad rep I think the 80s show is a craptastic marketing failure, I try to tell people about it, but as soon as I mention MLP its a insta no, but I have my ways of inducting people to the herd now :)

Maybe we should just tell people the show is called Friendship is Magic, and they can find out about the MLP connection after it starts.

Reaction images on the net, and a few friends were into it. asked why one night, and they said 'just give it a shot'. So I did.

I was sold in 5 minutes of episode 1.

Funny,I was watching an episode in a meeting at college on my laptop. A guy asked me what I was doing, and he was a neigh-sayer at first. I showed him Ep 1 and 2. He was instantly Brony'd.

Oh i'm already widely known as the oddball... so i really shouldn't have a problem with it... but that's where the lack of balls come in i geuss! Can't stand being judged. Also, why were you the low rung, if you don't mind me asking?

I remember that i was on DA looking at a gallery of an artist that i enjoy when i happen to notice that one of her new creations was a picture of herself and her neice in pony form. At first i was like "meh" but after a while my curiosity got sparked and i looked through the group that the picture was in. after a few weeks of that, I notice that one of the picutre i was looking at had a link to youtube and i thought "Well...i have been looking at the fanart so i may want to try the show." I went to the link and found that it was a small section of the episode in which Rarity was complaing and then whining at the Diamond Dogs. I found it to be humrous enough that i click on another youtube ehich turned out to be part of the episode Fallweather friends (the one where AJ and RD are trying to figure out who was the best).

THe rest is history.

I got into it when somebody on a different forum I go on started a topic about it. I, like everybody else, thought he was trolling. After watching a few episodes, I got hooked and watched them all.

So did everybody else.

Came across this before portal 2's release and tried to find source of the audio.
No easy feat considering there was no pony related videos from it.
Eventually stumbled over a MLP:MV and came across a episode, daring
myself I watched it and promptly joined the herd.

Got annoyed over all the pony threads on 4chan, then i decided to check it out and got hooked after the first episode.
After I got hooked I tried to induct my friends which resulted in them ignoring MLP and started watching Fosters Home instead : /

It all started when I noticed a bunch of youtube videos of pony memes in mid to late march. Being the first I had seen of ponies on the internet I thought it was some silly ironic meme originating from 4chan or somewhere. Curious, I researched it on Know your meme. Then I saw just how rampant this 'meme' was at the time of my so-to-speak introduction to the show. After that happened you could say curiosity got the better of me. I had watched this video and was impressed by the simple but adorable and colorful animation.

And so the show got the one and only chance it needed to impress me. The first episode I watched was "Green isn't Your Color", which to some may seem like a bad episode to start on, but I was thoroughly satisfied. The animation proved itself to be eye-popping and superb (and 2D!), like I had originally hoped. I was originally worried that I would see nothing but girlish nonsense, but holy crap. What I didn't expect, and noticed the first time I watched without any previous familiarity with the characters, was that they are three dimensional.

And so the house of cards collapsed. I watched several episodes at first but soon limited myself because I didn't want to over-saturate my brain with such a good show. From then on I savored it.

It all started way back a few months ago when i got on my houses laptop and it said "would you like to restart last browsing session" or whatever i clicked it and up came equestria daily i knew somehow it was my brother so i started getting somewhat " suspicious "

Then one day he asked to make something titled "AJ's Baked Bads. I didn't know where he got them though then tuesday he showed me the 4th episode on t.v. admitting it where he got baked bads from and then lured me in with curiosity (and possibly the promise of a pony walking around like it was drunk...) so i watched it i though i was fully hooked pretty much he showed some youtube videos like pinkie quest and 1000 people clicked the subscribe buttton and then clicked it again!. And now i spend my mornings watching it sometimes almost forgetting breakfast

(I REGRET NOTHING.)
P.s. sorry for such a long post.

Gather around everyone, here's how I got into ponies. I did hear about a new show relating to My Little Pony and I was like "meh, a girly show on Hub. Whatever." and stuff. Then this guy on DA by the name of AkumaTH started making sprites about the ponies, starting with Twilight and Dash. Dumbfounded, I pretty much decided to give the show a try and see what the hubub was about. After the first few seconds in the first episode I was like "huh, that's new. Sounds like a plot better than the old shows." And then the theme song. I was about to mute it when suddenly it remixed on me. "Well damn, even the theme song is good." I said. After the first two episodes, I was impressed. A cartoon better than whatever they had now.

So I decided to watch a few other episodes and then I listened to Winter wrap up...that is what got me. That song is what made be a brony to this day, and I am proud of it. Hell, I even helped AkumaTH finish off the rest of the main cast and I am currently doing two things, making other people into ponies (which I should get to around here) to help with someone's comic, and also currently working on my own Pony comic as well.

My story is a bit like Lumps. I was watching a Minecraft video that had to do with Star Trek (I don't care for Star Trek, but this guy was building something amazing, and despite lack of interest in the object itself, I found respect in the fact that something so massive could be built) during the video he mentioned he had started watching this show, but that he didn't feel comfortable saying just what it was, that it was a little "girly", but promised his fans a small hint at the end of the video. He ended the video with a picture of Rainbow Dash. I initially liked the design, but thought "Isn't that My Little Pony? Oh well, guess I'll skip over that."

Several months down the line, I notice that the same guy had Favorited a PMV (Epic "Amv": If you kiss Jesus, 7 artists). Interested and expecting to laugh myself to tears at a Pony AMV, I was instead surprised at the superb animation, cute characters, and perhaps that someone was dedicated enough to perfectly synch colorful ponies to Brittany Spears and Katy Perry >.>

So from there I sought out the first episode, watched the first two, and thought "Well that was pretty cool. Theme song is godawful but otherwise I enjoyed that." By around episode four I was thinking "Okay...where'd all that cool stuff about the Elements of Harmony go?" Getting bored now I looked it up on Know Your Meme. The information I gathered there made me think "Okay, I'll try again, let's keep on pushing through and see how this goes". Then Dragonshy happened.

Brony for Life at that point.

well. all my life ive had the name "my little pony" straight cast as "that shallow girly mushy" tv show. and knowing that im a guy, i never even thought about giving it a chance. but kinda recently, i had noticed pony memes pop up on funnyjunk and memebase and i was like... ok come on, theyre cute and all, but come on. ponies? but the cuteness got ahold of me a bit and i dug some more, and i found the clip of fluttershy screaming "your going to, LOVE MEEE" and i had to see what it was about. so being to lazy to pick out the episode. i watched all of the episodes. and i found that i LOVED IITT!! achieved brony status since episode 2 haha. the rest just confirmed it.

p.s. i ride scooters as a sport and i was like really suprised to find a pony, well, riding a scooter haha. scootaloo ftw!! haha

One day in the middle of school, i decided to go on Know Your Meme like i always did when i had nothing better to do.(or just didnt want to do anything) There in the meme database i found "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". First reaction: "LOL WTF!?" I chose to do the smart thing and wait till i got home to inspect the article. I really didnt care about people actually watching it, i just didnt expect this title to become so popular. There on the Meme article i found the first episode on youtube. I decided to watch it and fell inlove with the show.

While browsing the Sonic stadium message board, I noaticed several people had these colourful new avatars.. looked interesting at least, found the MLP FiM thread, had a quick look through it while thinking "what is this? why is it here?" then saw a cross over pic of Sonic racing Dash. "Ok, favourite hedghog and a blue pony..." Then someone mentioned the Sonic Rainboom, didn't think to much of it at the time, untill I found my way back there, look at the OP, which was a conversion post that had the ep 1+2 linked, watched, and became a fan there and then.

Somehow stumbled on a link to PonyCraft 2 on Youtube. Think: Oh, my little pony, must be a direct to DVD movie or something. Actually it doesn't look bad, and if someone watched enough to make this video of it it can't be horrible. Besides, I love unicorns. See the 300 ponies vid. Okay, yeah, need to see this. Watch episodes 1&2 in full suspension of disbelief mode. This is awesome and also my head is full of ponies.

Well, it was hearing about it during the school year from a few people, then having nothing to do in a basement during the summer with a laptop, and the simple inability to fall asleep. Especially after the 4th episode or so, I tried sleeping and just couldnt until i had finished all of S1 in a one-night rampage.

One of the people I subscribe to on Youtube posted a video titled "No Appreciation for My Little Pony." I was curious, seeing as how this guy isn't effeminate in any way, so I checked out the show myself. I have been hooked ever since.

Link to the video that changed me:

I LOVED Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends which was another Lauren Faust production, so after that show died, I saw that she was doing MLP and true to her animation and film making talent, she absolutely poured all her effort into this show. The biggest reason I now watch is just because of how much time they take to make the show good, not just like some of those other crappily thrown together cartoons out there.

In addition, I'm a Flash programmer and it surprises me that her team can make the entire show that detailed out of the Adobe developers API.

I was under the impression that using vector animation was much much easier to work with.
I mean, it still takes talent to make it good, but it's definitely easier than doing traditional or 3D animation of a similar quality.

no animation is easy, traditional animation tends to give you the job to draw a lot always respecting the shape and proportions of the character, every drawing should be different in traditional.

3D is a bitch, yes, you may have a model, but moving then to tween and making a certain action is troublesome. At least you don't have to draw as much, but the charcater that is built in 3D must be PERFECT

vector animation... IS HARDER THAN TRADITIONAL. You generally only get a folder with a couple of shapes and if you are looking for an animation of the quality of MLP FIM you must make sure that the tweening is perfect, the frames should be calculated with the meximum precision to make it have such an alive look like the one presented in this show.

Now, this is the legend all about how
My life got flipped-flopped upside down
And I'd like to take a 1000 years
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became a pony in the land of Equestria

In the western Neighterlands born and raised
Behind mah PC was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' 20% cooler
And all shootin some horseshoes outside of school
When a couple of colts
Who were up to no good
Startin making ponymemes in my neeeighborhood
I got in one little pony episode, and my mom got puzzled!
She said "what the hell are you watching on that computer?"

And that's how I became a brony.

well for me at first I liked the show kinda loosely, my friend got me into it and it was not my fav show then, that was sons of guns.
but what really sealed the deal for ponies and me was when my mother got drunk at my last sophomore concert for band, MLP : FiM helped me alot with my mothers drinking up and through rehabilitation. and now, sons of guns can take the back seat, cause My little pony rides shotgun now.

went on computer, watched first 2 episodes
Still wasnt convinces
But when i saw funny Pony Pictures with texts
and refrences everywhere (such as "TO THE MOOOOOOOOON" or "CUPCAKES")
I decided i would join the love, friendship, toleration, and lulz
And somewhat during this, Ponies actually made me more Care-free and unhateful toward my enemies

I lurked heavily for five years on 4chan and a few other chan's, then i saw a odd little reaction image featuring a certain purple pony. At that point i had seem my fare share of gore and shock images that the chans had to offer and had become pretty emotionally dead from it all, so i was a little perplexed by the influx of pony threads. (a bit out of character for /b/tards)

Anywho, i don't know why, but i decided to see what they where all getting so worked up over and watch an episode, which quickly became two, culminating in two sisters getting reunited. I cried for a solid ten minutes over that.

I went full brony after that, left 4chan in February and haven't been back since.

my old world history teacher had this thing called Friday funnies where we would usually watch Will Ferell sml shorts but one day he showed us: the rainbow knight, 300 ponies, and inglorious ponies. i got interested and looked up more parodies making fun of the show. After a day or so i decided hey if these parodies are so funny the show must be bad and i can make fun of it... i was dead wrong. After the first episode i couldnt stop, i told myself y the hell are you watching something your little sister should be? THis all started right after season 1 so i still had to wait until last saturday :D

Watched first episode and found it odd, i continued to watch untill the end of season 1, which basicly made me say "OMG THIS IS AWESOME" after that, i was considered "assimilated" into the herd

I wouldn't say I was a hater, but I found the pony phase mildly annoying. Being the sterotypical angsty b-tard I was, i'd lurk the pony threads and insult whenever I could. That was until my 3 year old sister wanted me to play with her Rarity doll and watch "The episode with the train" (Over A Barrel). Fell in love witht he show, bought us both some ponies, spread the love to my friends and family. Now the only person I know that doesnt watch MLP is my hard-ass military friend, and he's slowly coming around.

I started watching it because i saw a bunch of my college friends with rainbow dash on their desktop screens and they where talking about MLP, i finally decided to see what the fuss was all about and after the first 4 episodes i suddenly found myself liking it.

Eventually i got to the point where i loved the show so much i've watched all the episodes from season 1 at least more than 7 times, its something about the way the characters are drawn and animated(not to mention their facial expressions) that got me into it.

Oh wow, allot you guys have much more interesting stories than me! For me, I'm allready pretty weird when it comes to cute shows, so it just kinda came to me naturally.
A few months ago, I believe late July, I just finished watching "Onegai My Melody" Which is basically a show made by Sanrio (Hello Kitty) about another one of their characters. I was looking through a let's player's and found ponies in the favorites. I remembered seeing images of ponies before, so I just decided I might as well watch it. Needless to say, I was loving the show as soon as I saw it.

After Portal 2 came out I was looking at videos on Youtube. I came across the Pinkie Sphere video and I thought it was funny, a core with a My Little Pony's voice. Then, in that fateful moment, I clicked on one of the related videos at the time, a clip which I have since named 'This totally makes sense in context, I swear':

h7PGKcikaGY

Obviously, after watching that, I had to find the episode it was in to see what the hay was going on. It turned out it was easy to find the full Bridle Gossip so I just watched it then and there. I realized that I had heard an audio clip of Twilight from this episode on a podcast months earlier but I had dismissed it as that little girls' show. It turned out to be quite different than I imagined back then. By the end I was intrigued by the adorable ponies who learn valuable life lessons, so I decided to watch the pilot episode to see if this was something I would want to watch some more. So I watched Episode 1. Oh, this is kinda good. Watched Episode 2. Elements of Harmony! Watched Episodes 3-26. Hey, where did the last three days go?

People on another forum I frequent were talking about it in Skype in September, and me and three other guys all watched the first episode while talking about it in Skype. We just made fun of it, and I didn't watch it after that, until a couple weeks later when I decided to give it another try. Spent the next weekend watching the entire first season, and at the end, I couldn't wait for season 2.

I had not known of FiM until my friends had watched it.
I was skeptical like all Bronies and in fact I told myself to never watch it, KNOWING if I did I would get sucked in.
One of my friends has a girlfriend who HATES FiM, HATES HATES HATES it. I told her I wouldn't get into it, HAHA look how that turned out :mrgreen:

Watched the first Episode, loved it immediately. But I told myself "Only one episode everyday", one turned to two and two turned to all night.
Well the girl found out I was into FiM and swears she has power over me by telling me if I don't stop watching ponies she will not be my friend anymore.

She didn't have much to argue when I asked why she hated it she said to me "The show is nothing but a bunch of Faggot ponies"

Course I naturally told her don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Now I am a happy brony, without a care in the world.... cept my current project I have to keep watching it other wise its going to boil over and melt table.

Sounds like she really needed to actually watch the show to learn about how friendship works!

But on topic:
I actually didn't even know about FiM until after season one had already ended. I'm a pretty huge gamer, and I was usually either playing Perfect World, or one of my many console games. (I rarely visit sites like memebase, and I never touch 4chan, which is where ponies were most prevalent.) I noticed a few people on another forum I frequent had pony avatars/signatures, and it had a thread in the entertainment section. I went into the thread, and read about how most of them were amazing at just how much they were enjoying the show.
Intrigued, I checked it out. I enjoyed the first few episodes, which I watched in a single sitting. I knew I liked it, but it didn't feel like the "oh my god best cartoon ever!" that I see it as now. It wasn't until the very last minute of Episode 3: Ticket Master, that I realized how much I already loved the cast. (And it was also one of the scenes that placed Applejack as my favorite pony.) When Spike ran out of the library with ticket in hand, giggling like no other, I lost it. It was the first time a modern cartoon had made me laugh so hard in ages. (Laugh at all really. Comedy in today's cartoons is so dry.)
I knew at that moment, that I had been bronified. And I didn't care.

Ah.. My background story about how I became a Brony.

It started out with my older brother explaining to my dad that we need to bring some "MLP" to the house. and I inquired on it. Before hand I saw random ponies posted, but I couldn't care less. my brother explained to me about how it was a decent show. me being disinterested, I left it for awhile. randomly trough the week he showed me a few episodes. the first one I saw was the swam from the century.

I practically did not budge. After the Swarm I believe he showed me the first two Episodes.
I kind of enjoyed it. It wasn't till months later I really started appreciating friendship is magic. I eventually fell in love with about every character in Friendship is magic.

Now, I'm a brony. I've actually got a few of my females friends to watch MLP xD And I do my best not to convert knowing that we all have our own opinions and choices. But I do know that, once you start browsing for Ponies, there's no going back =P



TL;DR version

My brother was a Brony, got me hooked, I was disinterested, and then joined after a few months. I converted 2 girls who are plainly friends.

Tumblr.
Many, many months ago, I was sitting there, looking at all the "wonderful" anime pictures on my Tumblr dashboard. When suddenly, as I clicked refresh, PONIES. PONIES E'ERWHERE.
It.
Was.
BEAUTIFUL.
I proceeded to try to find out what the show was, found it, laughed at the title, did not watch it.
Was kicked in the face by all of the funny memes appearing and realized this show was DEFINITELY not a laugh. SO I watched the first ep...the second..third... fourth... so on..
And I became a brony(pegasister, if you WANT to say that...).
I have a friend who watches it with me every Saturday.
WEEEE
MLP. So. AWESOME!

My story is I saw this video in the "recommended video" section on youtube.
So I watched it and I was like "wut is dis ponies kay that is kinda weird".
And then I looked at his channel and I found more ponies
And then I was like wut why am I watching this this is kinda dumb.

BUT SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE PONIES WAS JUST MAGICAL and I found myself going back to watch more pony videos, like this one and this one, of course
And then I found out more about it
And then I was like aight imma watch the first episodes to see what all the fuzz is about
and then I was like I have half an hour left before I have to go to school I guess I can watch an episode
and then before I knew it I had watched all of season one.

So thar you go.

It started when I stumbled upon music videos like rock my pony and avast fluttershys ass.
And it got me curious after reading a YouTube comment saying his reactions to episode 1-10 basically.
So after that I watched Knowyourmeme My little pony. So then that's when I watched the first episode thought it was bad. BUT I gave it another chance and slowly
I became addicted. So that's my story, If I never read that YouTube comment I would have never became a brony.

What got me into ponies...?

It all started in another Minecraft Community when I saw a few strange images and people saying weird stuff. I also learned that there was an ENTIRE thread dedicated to MLP-- which I thought, "Oh...kay?"

After that, I kinda got a little curious and watched the first episode, and I guess you could say that curiosity killed the cat.

I'm not a full brony yet, but have been greatly influenced by others. I have respect for the show and the people that watch it.
