I don't know, it's just an awesome show I guess... And the fandom is great! I don't normally write it that way. but since you brought it up: It's been how long since somepony posted in here?!
Excited for season 4, loved the song in the SDCC animatic!

Why does this show have such a massive fanbase compared to the other similar shows?
I'm not sure why, I know I like it because I like shows with strong characters and fun/engaging story-telling. I can't speak for everyone else though, and I tried to google it for you and there doesn't seem to be a clear answer. I can provide a video that can explain the roots of it though; [youtube]olLDrvc1qt4[/youtube] le edit: Found that on April Fools Day a list of episode names were released. AS you'd expect, these are probably fake, I'mma post them anyways cause they's hilarious; (bits in bold are my comments) ■01 & 02: Wingin' It Cause Twilight's got new wings, but I'd be thinking that because of the teaser, that this is not so far fetched, whether or not it's the season opener is another thing...[/b] ■03: Now You Sea Them… Ok, so I don't know much about the supposed "seaponies" from gen1, but I wouldn't mind seeing out that would turn out... if it happened, which I don't think it will, not this season anyway■04: Meet Princess Skyla Because Shining and Cadence should totally have babies. And then Pinkie Pie can do babysitting again.■05: The Student Becomes the Teacher: The Return of Sunset Shimmer Sunset Shimmer probably won't make an apperance this season, I would maybe like to see her in the season 5 premiere maybe?■06: Luna-tic now there will be a luna ep, it would be totally epic if this were the title, but I highly doubt it ■07: Pinkie Apple Pie - Pinkie Pie becomes the Princess of Pie (mini-arc part 1) Lol, what? I know there's a Pinkie Pie and Applejack family ep, but I doubt very much about Pinkie becoming a princess[/b] ■08: Don’t You Dare - Rainbow Dash threatens to leave the Daring Do fandom when they turn her hero into an Earth Pony. This is a tease to those who threatened to leave the fandom when Twilight became an Alicorn. Very funny >< ■09: It Ain't Easy Being Cheesy - Justin Bieber guest stars in our musical episode. (Continues in 16) And then Sweetie Belle beats him in a singing contest and then RD hi fives him in the face with a Rainboom ■10: Oops - Rarity is the star of a play but is replaced by AJ.Twi forgets and tells everypony RY is the star. Ponies are pissed. I don't even... ■11: Bats - It's just like the musical "Cats", but with, you know, bats. And ponies. But mostly bats. Nana nana nana nana... ■12: The Return of the Return of Harmony - Discord is back! And his new personality is kind of meh. Stupid writers Pfft, hah! It was one of the writers who tweeted this, glad to see they can poke fun at themselves Discord is appearing in an epsiode, and apparently singing as well, hopefully it's not "meh" ■13: Wrap It Up - Every loose end is tied up. Hilarity ensues when the ponies realize there are 13 more episodes to go. 4th wall breaking, starring Pinkie Pie perhaps? ■14: Pie in the Sky - Pinkie Pie becomes the Princess of Pie (mini-arc part 2) But isn't the expression "Pie in the sky" something to do with the moon? Is Pinkie the new Luna?■15: Who Are You? - David Tennant guest stars as a random, nameless background pony no one has ever noticed before. Allons-y! ■16: It Ain't Easy Being Breezies - (Continuation of 09) ends with Justin singing with the Breezies *facepalm* ■17: Just Forget It - The CMCs try literally everything they can think of to get their Cutie Marks. They don't. The end. This is literally every CMC episode ■18: Death Comes to Ponyville - Didn't bother to read it. Was super busy that week. I'm sure it will be fine. Zombie Ponies ■19: Maude Pie - Pinkie Pie becomes the Princess of Pie (mini-arc part 3) Maybe this is part of an extended Pie eating contest■20: For Whom The Sweetie Bell Tolls - cuz literary and makes us sound smart and stuff and,dude, is anybody else hungry? Ooh look, cake! ■21: It Ain't Easy Bein' Weezy - a hilarious parody of The Jeffersons. Look, they can't all be gold, people. So they're Silver? ■22: Best Pony - New pony comes to town and she’s cool and likes craft beer and Legos and has a typewriter Cutie Mark Someone's self-inserting OCs ■23: Spike and Rarity Sittin’ in a Tree - Nothing happens. That would just make things weird between them. Plus, his ex is totally psycho. Plot twist: his ex is Rarity's sister, that's why they're sitting in the tree, to escape from her psychoness ■24: Let the Games Begin - Shining Armor and Cadance join the professional wife-throwing circuit. Destroy the competition.  ■25 & 26: Princess Discord - Discord becomes a draconequalicorn and replaces Celestia. As she always intended. DRACONEQUALICORN ... I was bored... that is my only explanation

I have seen most of season three and I am really enjoying them. Love how Twilight Sparkle becomes a princess also I love the music. Applejack happened to be my favourite character.
I am surprised that fully grown men do you enjoyed the show as well.

Okay, despite... massive scepticism on my part... this show is actually rather funny. Quite a masterful reinvigoration of an incredibly random franchise. I wouldn't go out of my way to see it or anything, but with nothing else to watch TLF lent us her copy and... yeah, it's kind of cool.

Thanks for letting me share it. Thanks for infecting me with it. Now I actually like it and feel like significantly less of a man because Pinkie-Pie is my favorite. Yes, I actually have a favorite. It's bizarre, I never liked ponies when I was younger, I liked trains Thomas! They've ruined him with CGI now. Maybe it's something to do with me being an 80s child and that 80s stuff is back in fashion...
Pfft. It never went out. Duran Duran is as popular now as it ever was. I like to imagine.

Yes, done. You didn't tell us the film showing was for a CHURCH fundraiser! You know how I feel about churches! And funds!
Also Maz is asking if you would like to go to the Ballarat show on the ninth to see fireworks, money allowing.
Also, yes you could come over on Friday.
We need to tally our bananas to see what we can and can't do. We can only afford one fun thing thing this fortnight, and Maz wants to go to the show. Me, I'd rather do nothing, but I love her.
My job won't be starting until nearer the end of this month, and I've unexpectedly been saddled with related costs (see work thread).
See? "Saddled". It's on-topic. PONIES!

Yeah, we're sorry we couldn't make it. Me especially, because I do want to see the new Thor. But especially Maz, because she enjoys outings. Happy birthday! I posted it to you on MyFace, but I'll put it here as well because it's relevant!  It's the gayest thing I've ever done, and I once hugged a man.

Equestria Girls was fun and enjoyable and had relevant character development for Princess Twilight.

Fun and enjoyable are synonyms. I didn't mind the film that much, though I can see why many wouldn't. Oddly the main thing that bothered me about it was the humans retaining pony names, which just... those aren't human names, is all. People are not called Pinkie-Pie or Fluttershy. If that was supposed to be a representation of our world (ignoring the unusual skin colours), then it fails with the unimaginative naming. Also, after a destructive magical battle, revelations of sentient horses from another dimension, students becoming powerful demigods and everybody almost being turned into a zombie army, they all just... go back and finish the school dance? Really? So a no to calling in the Air Force, the CDC, FEMA, Lawrence Livermore Labs, and everybody? No? Just going to carry on like none of that happened? Hmm. Damn it, cartoons - BE MORE REAL!

Fun and enjoyable are synonyms.
Fun has a connotation of being an amusement quality, while enjoyable is weighted more toward having a pleasurable experience, both qualities that I wished to accentuate while preserving the three-part sentence structure I desired my post possess.

I dunno, Xan... I'm a pedantic author and even I find that point of difference dubious. Also, I done read a pony graphic novel TLF done lent me. Hilarious. So many movie parodies! It's funny because kids wouldn't get most of it.

Perhaps the difference in percieved meaning is due to us being from different cultures? Which one did she lend you, coldangel? I just got the first Micro-Series trade myself.

I don't fucking know... the one with the black shape-shifter things. Who cares? Not me, that's for sure. I'm not a little girl with pigtails and a pink dress. Fuck ponies. I mean, don't fuck ponies...
