Don't worry too much about it OP. Like what you like. Everyone makes a stink about adults watching "children's shows" but honestly a great deal of adults do that be it out of nostalgia or just enjoying how cute something is. Sure there are creepers in the fandom for this show but almost everything with a cult following has those kinds of people.

MLP:FiM has a lot going for it. It's a cute and nice looking show with fun characters and good musical numbers. You don't have to justify why you like it to anybody be you 2, 20 or 200 years old.

[lolofielding.livejournal.com]

YANA. This was my reaction when I first started watching it.

It is one of those shows that should annoy me or just completely go over my head as I'm older than it's target audience. But...I just don't care. It makes me laugh, the characters are charming and it always feels like it has a lot of heart put into it. It's my comfort blanket for when I'm recovering from my other angsty shows (side eyes SPN, Misfits and Sherlock).

[intrigueing.livejournal.com]

This is basically taking the words out of my mouth. Why do I like it so much? NO IDEA. I just do. There's a vibe.

Although the female-default thing is pretty cool too. I'm not someone who really cares a whole lot about female representation in the media (even though I feel like I should care more), but I love love love it when a cast just happens to be full of female characters but ISN'T about being female, if you know what I mean.

Honestly, it's just fun. You can switch off and just enjoy. It's like candy, sweet and moreish and one episode is never enough.

[castorochiaro.livejournal.com]

I think you pretty much pin-pointed why I enjoy this show. I don't consider myself a hardcore fan, but...there's something just really LIKABLE about FiM. I think it's precisely because of that simplicity; it's not trying to be hip or edgy, it's just telling good, simple stories with interesting characters and it's doing so splendidly.

Plus, while each character exemplifies a certain character type (Twilight's the bookworm, Fluttershy's the soft-spoken nervous one, Rarity's the beauty queen, etc.), they never feel one-dimensional or like they depend too much on one gag to be funny. They let each character BREATHE, and that's just really nice in an industry where stereotypes run pretty rampant and it's hard to find real characters you can sympathize with and enjoy.

You and every other fan of the show, OP. I love it. My friends who have watched it also love it. And none of us have any idea WHY. It just dug its way into our brains and refuses to leave. Not that anyone's really complaining...

[(Anonymous)]

I'm glad you like both shows... I love them! The animation isn't by the same person, though.

Lauren Faust was hired to work on PPG, and met her husband Craig McCracken there, but he was the creator and she was involved on a subordinate level, moving up over time. He also created Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends; her role in that show was bigger from the beginning, afaik, and the character of Frankie is based on her.

She's no longer the Executive Producer of MLP:FiM... she stepped down after the first season's episodes.

I love it too, and I got my little brother into watching it. Also, I still love the Powerpuff Girls. It was such an awesome series. To name a few reasons for me liking it:

It's fun. It genuinely makes me laugh. Not only is the writing good, but it's also cartoony. I think it defies this "things for girls/women can't be funny" trope that is quite pervasive.
It's pretty. I like the character designs and animation.
The characters are interesting. And I honestly just like having a group of girls as the main protagonists. Also, I just love how three-dimensional they are. In fact, I get quite annoyed when people say things like "lol, the element of generosity is greedy" or "lol, element of truth". That's what makes the show good! They embody both sides of their element, which not only makes them realistic, but also avoids preachiness. IDK, I think most comments are tongue-in-cheek, so I try to not be annoyed, but still...
I like slice-of-life stories, and I think the plot-related things can be quite exciting (I mean, how amazing was the season 2 premiere?)
I like the songs. They're fun and the singing is nice.
It cheers me up. Honestly, that's the only thing that really matters to me.

And there are probably a couple of other reasons I just can't think of right now.

The show feels like comfort food while being nutritious as well. Like chicken fried vitamins. God, that sounds horrible! Somebody needs to think of a better analogy. :T

[nomorenoodles.livejournal.com]

I didn't know why the periphery demographic like it so much, but everyone here has produced some good reasons. :) I like it because it's adorable; I've always loved MLP and even after I grew out of it a bit and threw my ponies from my childhood away, I still always had a soft spot for it.

I'm not actually so into the characters or the show that it's my absolute favourite ever, but honestly FiM is just some harmless fun! It's beautifully animated, everything's happy and colourful and it teaches some good messages that honestly some adults could do with learning.

Just stay away from the hardcore bronies who think Lauren Faust can do no wrong and that ponies are sexy, though.

You should watch an episode of Adventure time too, to see if you like that.

[hiyami.livejournal.com]

Wired made several articles about people like you:

Really, if it's fun and doesn't harm anyone, I don't see why you should worry about that.

Whatever you do, stay away from the brony sub-fandom.
