DONT LIE TO PINKIE

I did not see that

They help people deal with problems that they have
Like depression

I can't explain why. Honestly. I started watching from the beginning, and at first I had trouble getting through a single episode. But... I kept going. And now I can't stop.

This guy gives one of the best explanations.
And if you don't want to watch it here are the reasons
-It's written well
-Creative
-Great animation
-Highly entertaining and well characterized characters
-Top notch voice acting
-Makes you happy when you watch it
-Subtle adult comedy
-Great reaction to the community

and the reason that got me to watch it
-The brilliant Lauren Faust who is also behind Fosters Home, and the Powerpuff Girls

I once thought this show was for little girls as I hated the MLP toy commercials when I was younger. One of my friends started to watch this the first week it came out. I couldn't believe that someone like him(hes a bit crazy) would watch something like MLP. He eventually convinced me to start watching it. I didn't even start watching it till it was into the second season. I also almost didn't continue watching after the first 2 eps. (I give shows a shot, usually 4 or 5 eps) After that I got hooked and I now think that I am more of a fan than he is.
>MFW my friend got me to start watching it

Also want to add that the community is just the best around.
I have never seen a more active and creative community.
