New Animated Series Promo? G5?

[cmarston1 5,952]

I actually kinda like the art style.  Sure it is a pretty drastic change from FiM, but I don't mind it too much.  I find it to be cute, and nicely expressive.  Which given that this is supposed to be a more slice of life and comedic series, seems pretty fitting.  I'll probably give it a chance to see what it has to offer.

I quoted the same thing line and I felt it aligned more with what I was saying. 

Also we don't know G5 airs in 2021. We know that the movie does however. We don't know that the movie is this new series or if it's G5. 

Spoiler

The leaks from 2017(?) mentioned G5 to start with a movie, although it mentioned a 2020 release(and did not mention this new show at all if I am not mistaken), still most likely it was just postponed, but who knows.

So far we can only speculate, but the way they described this show it just doesn't sound like you can make a full and meaningful series out of it... Only time will tell.

Even though it will have the same cast from Friendship is Magic, I got the feeling Pinkie Pie will now be the main character instead of Twilight.

well, I'm not going to shoot this ponylife down just yet, I admit I'm not a fan of the artstyle/animation, but knowing how I was with steven universe and later dragon prince I'm sure I'll get used to it. I do hope it's well made otherwise though, at least we'll have the same voice actors.

I don't know, I kinda like the art style. I mean, when you compare it the art style of the show and the movie it seems like a bit of a downgrade, but it's still pretty cute.

When something is good, it doesn't need to change. Hasbro is yet again cashing in on Twilight Sparkle and her friends. This time they are tiny cat creatures that bob their heads.

 

Me in 4 years from now: Remember G4, anyone?

Others: Which one?

Me: Lauren Faust one!

Others: MLP The Movie 2017?

Me: Nooooo, before that. The good one? Bronies? Hellllloooo??

No, the main show will definitely be the memorable one. Unless we're wrong about G5's premiere, this is just temp filler. Of unproven (lack of) qualitty, to boot.

Yea that's old news so I kinda disregarded it for new info. releases, but I guess you have a point.

Check EQD. Haven’t seen such a freak out since Flash “ He Took our Waifu” Sentry

Well, many will argue that G4 was no longer good or at least declining in quality (which is what thought, but I still thought it was good). 

Regardless, if you thought there was still room for certain stories to be told, whether or not the writing staff wanted to write those stories or could even write them well is up in the air. 

I personally feel that mlp could've done one more season to make it a full 10 before it should stop.

"Stop while it's great, or continue long enough to become bad."

I've seen a lot of comparisons to TTG, but I'm hopeful it can nail a more inspired note of insanity a la Amazing World of Gumball. 

 

Designs were a shock at the beginning but I think I could get used to them. Dash probably came out the best in that promo teaser.

[Misty Shadow 7,146]

And everyone is already worried. Why? 

https://www.animationmagazine.net/licensing/my-little-pony-finds-fresh-pasture-with-pony-life-series-new-toy-lines/ 

Because what's on everyone's mind upon looking at the art style and reading the show synopsis is Teen Titans Go!  I personally don't feel strongly about TTG one way or the other anymore, but I'm with the popular opinion right now that this looks very iffy at the moment. The center of the world is going to be Sugarcube Corner...when was Sugarcube Corner so important in the original series? 

[Fluttershutter 2,138]

Uh...yeah. Looks like the typical cash grab dumbed down remake of something great. 

They're inevitable when something is successful. I've learned that a big part of fandom is segmenting your mind and ignoring parts you don't like.

The artstyle of TT Go was not necessarily a bad thing.

The art style was really cute. The writing, not so much. (Awful!) When I saw that image, I got a serious TT Go vibe. I'm scared!

[Kronos the Revenant 1,971]

I believe this is an appropriate response. 

[Live Spark 163]

I'm kinda 50/50 on this whole thing, but I will give it a chance.

 

[Varrack 1,080]

This is almost certainly G4.5. There doesn't appear to be any change in setting or characters, and given the 2021 movie that will presumably start off G5, this seems like something to tide us over until the next generation begins.

[Mini 451]

I really like the new look. Not so sure about the "hilarious 'slice of life' stories that modern kids can relate to" but we'll see.

[Steve Piranha 28,885]

I like the animation, but I’m not that sold on the art style. They obviously went for chibi, but there are two official chibi horses that are more appealing to me:

[Here No Longer 5,270]

I think this is a VERY appropriate reaction.

 

This is SO bad on SO many levels. Not only is it a straight-up downgrade animmation and story-wise, an obvious cash grab, and a TERRIBLE idea even on PAPER, it's disrespectful to THE FIM SERIES! Just let it die in peace, Hasbro, we'll all be better for it, especially than turning it into the MLP equivalent of one of the worst cartoons ever to air. I will NOT watch this. No f***ing way. Way to kill interest in your own property for the sake of moulah Hasbro. This makes me SICK.

 

Now to stop buying any MLP related merchandise in a futile hope to convince them this is a bad idea. Somebody needs to make a petition telling Hasbro to STOP this. I'm not kidding when I say that they're about to take a MASSIVE dump on their own reputation, and their greatest property. But NONE of this will work, because the target audience will eat this up...  They choose the path of greed, I choose the path of contempt.

Seems to me Unikitty's been busy. We'll see how this series plays out.

The designs are pretty cool other than those obnoxious looking grins.  Their mouths are so wide they look like they consistently want to chew the scenery.
