Guilty. Ok, the first and last ones are negotiable to a degree, but without good writing an animated show doesn't have much to fall back on.FAKEDIT: I read the other posts after I wrote this. Turns out somebody already did mention the writing, characters, and animation. Nearly everybody, in fact. I may come off as sounding like an ignorant ass, but it really does just seem to be the default for explaining why it's good.I think it's the default for explaining why you think anything is good, at least for me. It's kind of a checklist when I watch a new cartoon. "How's the animation? How's the writing? Do I care about these characters?"
Err, he was asking why people like it. How the hell am I going to get objective evidence about something 100% subjective? xDSome sort of professional/long-running reviewer might be good. Or not, whatever.
Well, MLP is a cute show with well-developed characters, sharp writing, and excellent stylized animation. I like it because all those things an because it's cheerful and lighthearted without ending up saccharine, manichaean, or stupid, which is extremely hard to find.See, a short and simple explanation. I'm not sure, but I think this is what Gotdamnmiracle was looking for.
I think he's wondering what about MLP is so appealing. Star Trek is an episodic science fiction drama with philosophical storylines and lots of technobabble for those who like that sort of thing. What makes MLP fans tick?Can someone explain the appeal of being a bronie to me please?Same appeal as being a fan of anything else?
May as well be asking what's the appeal of being a trekkie.
