Ignoring the phones I'm starting to like G5's character designs and animation less and less, they probably have a pretty high budget and they didn't even take the opportunity to give them varied face and body shapes. Sure, Pipp's design looks nice but I can't tell what her personality is just by looking at it, compare that to G4's designs where you can kinda tell what their personalities are just by looking at their mane-styles, expressions or colors. Also I would've loved to see a high fantasy or even futuristic Equestria but it seems like they're going in a bland, more modern direction.
