Who was Equestria Girls aimed towards?

Still the target audience. And likely an older part of that audience, I remember Hasbro saying that they wanted to appeal to an older demographic of girls with EQG

Well if you couldn't tell by all the pandering in the first film it was for little girls. Plus I hear there was more executive meddling this time so yeah definitely little girls. 


No matter how hard I try these ponies will simply never leave me.

I'm guessing the same target as FiM itself, little girls. Just because there's a large periphery demographic doesn't mean they went out of their way to change the target audience. So far, the one episode aimed specifically at bronies is Slice of Life.

Well, I would have to say little girls between the ages of 6 to 8, or something like that.

Most of the dolls and toys are pretty over-sexualized, so don't even bother buying the merchandise associated with it.

The people said that as a joke, but it was so dry it sounds serious. ;)

 

EQG's market is older than the main series. FIM's base child demographic is four, five, and six years old, but EQG's gravitates to adolescents. Hasbro's rival Mattel markets Monster High to this same group, so Hasbro wants to share a piece of Mattel's pie.

True. But you can't deny the fandom having some influence on the idea. Anthro fan art has almost existed from day one of the show itself. :)

Eh, I don't know. I know the writers can't review fanfic and fanart, but I'm not sure if the marketing can or cannot, as well. If anything, it feels like it wants to mirror Monster High's success, but doesn't want to spend the fabulous moolah (:P) to create a new IP.

A slightly older demographic than what FIM was originally aimed at. MLP is 'meant' for the 6-9 demographic, give or take, while EQG was aiming for the 10-13 range, roughly speaking. 


Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.

The people that I know IRL who are really obsessed with EQG are all under the age of six. 

I enjoy it, not as much as ponies, but I think EQG is a little more heavy handed with it's plots and moral ending than MLP proper. 

So I'm going to disagree with most of you, I think EQG is aimed for more of a young audience than FiM
