Thought it Was Worth Giving MLP a Try

Umm, 4-5 episode I guess. I'm pretty sure the show is originally in english, so raw should be the original english version.

Color corrected is a version that has corrected colors since itunes and a few other places tend to slightly screw up the colors or make them slightly washed out. A RAW is a unaltered version of a file before the color corrections and file compression. A RAW episode is normally 400-600 MBs for 720p and 700-900 MBs for 1080p. With compression I can normally get it down to 200-250 MBs with no noticeable loss in quality at 720p.

just don't go to deviantart

No no no no, see, this is how they 'get' you!

I did the same thing and once you get past the first few episodes of hackneyed old kids show tropes, it actually starts to grow on you. I recall the first thing in FiM was a two-part story that introduced the characters but with a certain degree of Captain Planet cheese. If you still don't like it a few episodes after that, it's probably safe. The episodes are pretty hit/miss, but the main reason for watching is how adorable certain parts are. Remember it's a kids show and don't go in expecting much~

Failing that, you can always fall back on cartoons with more appeal to older audiences. Adventure Time, Bravest Warriors, Regular Show. It's all good <3

Just remember to separate the series from the fandom. Looking too deep into the fandom may dishearten you. It's a fun show, and it was able to make me laugh at times, more than I can say from many shows nowadays. I'd say watch the first 4-5 episodes, to get an idea.

Just watch 3/4 episodes, if you like it you're gonna watch all the season 1 in one go. If not, don't force yourself to watch more than that.

BTW: kudos to you for watching before criticizing.

Comes in ready to BLAM, sees picture

Good man.

Nice knowing you

I've watched a number of episodes with my children. It's not -bad-, and neither are furries in general in comparison. The stigma you're pulling here is from the self-proclaimed bronies who take it too far (Same as why someone might always think yiff when they think of furries when it's not a fair representation). They're a fandom at the end of the day, and you need to look past them to see whether it's good or not to you. Personally I like the show. They've got a bit more attitude so they don't go all Care Bear on you, which is enough for some people.

I enjoyed it when I watched a bit of it.

I wouldn't really seek it out to watch, but to be fair I don't really watch TV.

And yeah, 5 episodes is definitely enough.

1 episode is enough to know that it a childrens show, a girls children show if that.

Watched one episode to see what all the pizazz was about and I regret wasting that time.

If you don´t mind the cheese topics of the show and the awful... but well made cute songs is a totally enjoyable cartoon... but the songs... wow... they are so awful and cheese... too much love... too much joy...
