One thing I’ve noticed about the brony community: we like to introduce others to the series. And I’ve seen more than a few recommendations on “introductory episodes.” And by that, I mean certain episodes that show the best of what this series has to offer and would theoretically be ideal to show to first timers.

This may not come as a huge surprise to you, but I am a fan of RainbowDoubleDash’s Lunaverse. (And if you don’t know what this is, basically imagine a version of MLP with Luna and Celestia having reversed roles and Trixie being the Element of Magic.)
