Started watching FiM during a long stay I had in the hospital. Might've been the morphine, but the first episode I caught was Luna Eclipsed, and it was exactly the kind of purely optimistic, light-hearted thing I needed at the time. Watched and enjoyed the rest of the show during my long recovery, and have been keeping up on it ever since.

I can't quite put a finger on what it is that is so appealing about FiM, but the cast is incredibly endearing, and I really enjoy Twilight as the protagonist. I suppose it's just nice to have something so optimistic, without it seeming overly simplistic. I enjoy it in the same way I enjoyed Pushing Daisies, which is to say, it's often adorable, it's very entertaining, and I care about the characters.
