 <html>I remember back in 2011 over a year before I watched FiM. I saw a clip of the intro and was like.. &lt;i&gt;why do they always have to make the characters all iconic and junk?&lt;/i&gt; It reminded me too much of one of the remakes of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by which I'd been disappointed, and I thought, &lt;i&gt;oh great, another childhood favorite mangled by poor writing and meh animation.. nice character designs though.. reminds me of PPG.&lt;/i&gt; Of course, then I didn't know how mangled MLP had already been by generation 3, and I didn't know that one of the former PPG writers was directing this new version. When I finally sat down and watched the first two episodes I was hooked. #&lt;span class=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/tag/bronyconversion&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;bronyconversion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</html>
