I must say, the My Little Pony craze is sweeping through the internet like a plague. I can't go anywhere without someone screaming "ooh, My Little Pony! My Little Pony!" So despite my better judgement, I decided to download the series. I must say, It's not what I expected it to be. The stories are actually....not that bad. The animation makes me sick to my stomach and I can barely watch it, but I'm beginning to kind of appreciate the characters in a strange, twisted sort of way.
My Little Pony is compelling in the same way you can't help but look when an old naked guy starts running down the street. You don't want to look but you just can't help yourself. There are times when I can get past the animation, but only for an instant. Then I'm snapped back into reality and get that kind of sick feeling. My Little Pony is like being really REALLY hungry and eating a shitload of cake. You're starving so you can't help but eat, but unfortunately the stomach pains after eating are almost as bad as starving.
So will I ever like My Little Pony? Doubtful. But will I watch it? Yes. I just can't help myself - especially when the entire series is just sitting there on my hard drive taunting me and I just wasted 34GB of bandwidth downloading it (this includes seeding). I'm not against little kid shows. Hell, I even like Dragon Tales. But My Little Pony is just......sickening and compelling at the same time. It's very strange.
