>>27924626
Yeah, kind of, I don't watch episodes as they come out, I just kind of get to them when I can.

Yeah, it has been an interesting journey from then to now. My interest in the show has waned severely over the years, I still watch every episode but now it's just whenever i feel up to it.

>>27924686
Same, during the hiatus. I would have joined about 2 months earlier if I weren't browsing /b/ - shit was absolutely out of hand there for my tastes.

>>27924614
Same for me. I got on just before the premier of that episode.

Babby Cakes. Though I had caught the fandom ripples around the Derpy fiasco which initially piqued my interest.

>>27924626
yo, I saw the first thread on /co/ but I over looked it for a few days. they still had a thread a few days later. so I gave it a look. so my first real episode was ticket master.

>>27925170

Hearts and Hooves Day. Sometime around the We Heart Ponies Fan Favorite Mare-a-thon.

Technically the first episode I caught on its live broadcast after catching up on all previous episodes was Putting Your Hoof Down; now THAT was a weird one to watch live, because of Fluttershy's (and all of Ponyville's) OOC asshat behavior and the lack of half the Mane 6. It made me wonder whether I simply preferred watching ponies online or if the show was starting to dip.

>>27925225
Same here. I finally gave in after seeing so many pony vids and memes. Watched the entirety of the series up to that point in a few days.

>>27925201
It was the same with me. I don't remember the exact month I started watching it, but it was Winter Wrap Up and the Cutie Mark Chronicles I saw first, then went back and saw it all in order.

It's always funny when the person who actually got you on the ride has already left, but you still remain. It seems to happen a lot. I got into it after seeing a /b/-read on /b/ in October 2011. Who knows where any of those fuckers are now?

Over a Barrel was the first new episode I saw after catching up.

To those who came in after season 3, is it strange going back and seeing unicorn-Twi? Is Princess Twilight normal to you?

>>27925498
I stopped after 2 and 5 episodes into 3.

No, you gullible dip.
>>27924626
I watched them in order but I'm not an optimist and the quality of a lot of modern cartoons is questionable so I've never browsed /co/ regularly. Even if I'd somehow heard of it at the time, I wouldn't have expected greatness before people saw the first few episodes and agreed that the show was solid.

Griffon the Brush Off. Both the newest episode when I became a fan and the first episode I ever watched.

>>27924626

Watched from s01e01 onward, but I'm 80% sure the season had finished airing by the time I started watching. Season 2 premiere was the first new episode I watched live.

>>27924626
The first episode I saw/joined on was applebuck season.

>>27925606

Fall Weather Friends

A friend in deed was the most recent episode once i had caught all the way up, i looked around for more episodes and when i didn't find any the realization hit pretty hard that i had just marathoned a show about talking ponies. I was in highschool at the time and i got on the ride because it was a craze. I stopped the watching the first episode as soon as the theme came on just because i felt like a pedo or some shit watching it but i eventually went back and gave it a shot. Now here i am 4 years later with none of the people who got me on the ride

>>27924593
Lost Treasure of Griffonstone.
I got caught up just in time to watch Slice of life

>>27924593
that first trixie episode. I watched it thinking it was YTP

Bloom and Gloom. I was impressed with the writing on the episode, plus I've always liked Diamond Tiara. I'd watched random past episodes of MLP: FiM, but was never a fan of the show until after seeing Bloom and Gloom.

>>27925721
>LE BAIIIT XDDDDDDDDDDDD
Whether it's bait or not isn't important. I think the concept of people joining this late is really cool, I find it warming that show still manages to make people smile and make them happier

>>27924593
Griffon the Brush-Off

>>27924626
Was a /co/ user back in the day but wasn't into the show until Magic Duel aired.

Didn't start going to streams for new episodes until season 2 premiere but caught wind of the show during the middle of season one. I just waited until they eploaded them to youtube. I remember those epiaodes have millions of views before they were dmca'd by hasbro.

I started catching up in the hiatus before S3, but I finished catching up just as it ended. So either A Canterlot Wedding or Magical Mystery Cure, depending on how you want to look at it.

The Last Roundup was the first episode I watched live after getting caught up.

I wasn't deep enough into the fandom yet to know who Derpy was or why people were freaking out so much over her.

>>27925527
>>27924686

ah yes, those few fun months between S1 finishing and s2 being confirmed


The fandom was so small back then, so simple.

>>27924686
About two episodes prior to this one, I think.

>>27924593
The Best Night Ever. Though by the time I finished season 1, Return of Harmony part 1 had just come out.

Hearth's Warming Eve.

The last episode before the mid season 2 Hiatus. A LOT of us joined in that time. MLP was still a hot topic back then.

The episode with Zecora and the poison joke...that was when I got on board.

I dropped out (of watching the show) after S4.

>>27924593
Somewhere in S3 like One Bad Apple or Magic Duel.

>>27924626
Check rog, chumbowumbo.

Lesson Zero. I was caught up by the time Luna Eclipsed aired.

Twilight's Kingdom, Pt2

First Ep that I watched was the one where Twilight was trying to decide who to give the gala tickets to.

Twilight's Kingdom.

To be exact, right before EQG1, after watching its trailer.

Between Sisterhooves Social and Luna Eclipsed. Glad I was able to come before the apex of the fandom boom, but wish I came in before the season 1 finale. Watching that on stream (did they even stream episodes back then?) or at least on youtube and experiencing the post-episode hype for comfiest finale must have been really god damn magical, not that the rest of the ride hasn't been exactly that.

I remember being overwhelmed with the amount of people in the fandom and all the content being made by the hour. FiM took over my life for that year.
