As much as I enjoy MLP, I can understand why people liked them in these kinds of situation and frankly I respect that.
The powerful and engaging characters can feel quite human to us in personality.
But unfortunately I am one of those who tend to seperate my fetish and my naive self, so I didn't enjoy it as much.
Sorry for that, I hope you can find one of them Bronies or Pegasisters or just Fan of the Show who liked this kind of thing here...
