The group of friends I had at my old high school all enjoyed the show and were particularly active in the fandom. I watched like 10 episodes and only the first one caught my attention. They kept saying it gets better later on so I watched more but I never really liked it. Fast forward 2 years or so and they all don't like the show anymore and they regret their brony days. Thank god I'm perfect and didn't buy any stupid pony merchandise.
