This is coming from a minor fan, not one of those MLP maniacs who go round demonstrating their love for it everywhere... I guess it's because, at the time, it was quite original compared to other kids' cartoons, it had themes which older viewers could relate to, and it just had that special kind of "charm" to it. I don't get the same feeling from more recent episodes though. Some people, however, become fans just to show off: "Hey, look at me, I'm watching a show for girls!"
