I really enjoy both sides of G4 and to be honest, as somebody whose seen a great deal of both, they're very similar in terms of tone and writing, and I believe that if you enjoy one, you'll probably enjoy the other, There are differences of course, such as Twilight taking somewhat of a backseat to a new main character as well as the larger emphasis on "teenage activities" in general, but I actually don't think that EG is that much of a departure from the main show in general. I think that FiM is more fully-realized (getting a real ending certainly helps matters), but Equestria Girls isn't bad at all. I have a preference towards the main show, but there's room in my heart for both, and I encourage people not to immediately discount EG because of its bizarre premise.

I'm excited on the grounds of getting something new and seemingly competent, but you never truly do know about these matters until they actually unfold. I don't know very much about the show as of now, so I'm not going to make any statements that are going to become outdated within a few months. If it's good, then that's great and I look forward to delving into that with the rest of the community. If it's not so good, then hey, we still have G4.

I have no idea why, but the "Piggy Dance" scene in Baby Cakes killed me the first time that I saw it. It just came out of nowhere. Is it strange that the crying babies make it way funnier to me for some strange reason.

I'm not overly fond of the show, it just seems to be a more childish and dumbed down version of FiM, which I understand is sort of the intention, but as a show written primarily for children ever since its inception back in 2010, this seems redundant and unnecessary to me. I'm not hating on it just because it's different, and there are some things that I do enjoy about the series, some of the jokes are legitimately funny and it features the characters and voice-talent (for the most part) that we've grown so fond of over the years, but I just don't think that it compares to FiM as a show, for kids or otherwise. With that being said, Gen 5 is on the horizon, as early as this year apparently. If that series gives me a viewing experience more akin to what I look for in this series, then I'm willing to brand this whole "Pony Life" experiment as a harmless diversion.

I care primarily if the show is of the same quality as the original, but it does kind of sound like a slippery slope conceptually. Honestly, I'd rather they just moved on to new characters.

Nah, it's what makes him so cute. Don't tell him though...
