But MLP is basically just a very simplistic childrens cartoon that is reasonably well done. There isn't really anything special about it. Nothing really different to say the care bears. I mean fans always say it's well done, which it is for a kids show. I'm not really sure what aspect older people are enjoying? Maybe they enjoy it because it makes them feel like a child, but then why not watch something from childhood? It's just this thing where mid 20 guys like it because hey others do too!

 

Reasons why I like it:

- Character development is their top priority. They manage to be rounded but detailed characters which work in a lot of situations.
- Original, catchy songwriting
- Insanely prolific fan content (art, music, comics, flashes, games) because of how flexible the characters are
- Animation puts the rest of the industry today to shame. All over production value is very high.

I am certain it is not a me-too thing. Honestly everyone who "joined" found it weird at first, like why-am-I-watching-this. But the quality of the show caused us to stay. Nor is it a childhood thing; I don't consider the show aimed at children and neither did its creator.
