What was essential for this show to catch your attention?

What do you think made the show successful, not only on the internet but among its target demographic?

>Art style and pony design

>Did a good art style help you stomach any bad writing the show had to offer?

>Characters and personalities

>Was Mane 6 able to keep you watching even when they were acting stupid/OOC or plot was boring?

>Stories and narratives

>Were you simply captivated by the stories and would watch FIM even in G1/G3 art style if you'd had to?

>World building and lore

>Did the world of Equestria make you watch the show no matter if you were interested in the characters or story of the episodes?

>Adventures or SoL

>If SoL, were they silly stories that escalated in funny way but were kept in one episode or mature overarching interponysonal stories?

>If adventures, what kind of adventures: high stakes two parters or isolated stories?

>Fandom

>Was it community, be it fan art, fimfics, animations or just anons you liked to spend time with that made you join and stay?

Did you only watch till season 2/3 or enjoy all 9 seasons of the FIM?

Was FIM one of the kind of lighting in a bottle and it will be impossible to reproduce it or do you think it is very possible with the right talent and vision but Hasbro is just retarded?

Is a cute art style and likable characters all G6 needs to be successful, or at the very least watchable?

Was FIM just a good cartoon with a great art style and lovable characters that came at the perfect time in the history of the internet and was found by "the right people" or something much more?

Was FIM's success inevitable, and it would have gotten famous no matter what, or pure luck that was outside of the show's control?

Faggots on here are still mindbroken by Reddit. This formatting has existed since the start of the internet, long before Reddit.

ok
>Art style and pony design
Fuck no these cat/deer things are hideous
>Characters and personalities
Well sure it's fine to write dumb fun sometimes you have to bend rules sometimes for comedy.
>Stories and narratives
G1 and G3 pony style would be an improvement absolutely well I dunno abut 3.5 that shit looked wacked even though it was written better than g3 proper. (Not to be confused with g3 babies btw that's different. )
>World building and lore
The world actually sucks and is built terribly but that actually makes it more fun if taken at face value.
>Adventures or SoL
Their 2 parters kinda suck I'll admit I didn't like the avengers bullshit they did late in the shows run. The self contained stories were better and more fun a lot of the writers don't have what it takes to make something more serious.
>Fandom
Well everything is more fun with friends but I already liked horses in general which is why I make a fuss about cat ponies so yes the fanbase is the reason I watched the show with an abhorrent artstyle. BTW it's not actually Faust's fault the small LSP style micro muzzles were already introduced by the end of G3's run with the G3.5 ponies.

Yeah see look g4 was going to look the way it did no matter what they're based off the toys afterall and this was the direction they were going which I disrespectfully disagree with.

Started watching it flew week ago, after i’ve seen some episodes during my childhood days.
So far at the start of S3

It is just cozy and happy kino.
A likable and cute cast.
A cool world with the bare minimum of world building and designs to make it feel a living fantasy world with ponies and other quadrupedal things
Minor things that can be connected to other cool fantasy series but in family friendly form

Funny adventures and cute morals in a world where everything now is reduced to “X le bad, stop liking X”

Even the other races feels part of the actual world instead of blatant tokenism (zekora, the buffaloes, the dragons, the donkeys and cows and finally the Changelings)

I got spoiled some of the late season suffers compared to the ones i’m watching, which is kinda a pity but the show seems to be episodic enough without a big plot that can sour the whole thing if its ends badly.

So here i am joining the club of “my chad pony: friendship is BASED”

It's a "cute girls do cute things" show in a fun enough setting
