repeat to yourself "I trust M A Larson"

The problem with that is that Larson has a track record already. EqG doesn't. If Larson were going to write for EqG then that would be a different matter!

I'll give EqG a chance, since that's only fair. But "[Twilight's] biggest challenge yet... high school" is about the most off-putting promotional line I could have seen. It's starting from a much lower base than FiM did.

Will Meghan McCarthy do?

Directed by Jayson Thiessen
Produced by Sarah Wall
Written by Meghan McCarthy
Music by William Anderson (score) and Daniel Ingram (songs)

The I trust in M A Larson was more a memetic throwback to everyone saying magical mystery cure would be the worst thing ever before seeing it.

Hmm, you have a fair point about the creative team. I have seen the trailer, and it's not as terrible as those initial pictures suggested. It could be quite good. But I generally hate high-school cartoons, even when they're well made. (I think the last one I actually liked was Galaxy High!) It's actually a significant attraction of FiM for me that it doesn't have high school/college storylines.

As I say, though, I'll give EqG a chance (if I can get hold of it); I can't fairly say "This is horrible" without seeing it.

I like the improved designs; the whole http://images.wikia.com/mlp/images/6/6a/Equestria_Girls_March_2_2013_character_designs.jpg skin colouring cutie mark cheek thing was nooooooot working for me so ... i'm glad they didn't go with that.

I am looking forward to it quite heavily, I am easily excited I guess >.

You can briefly see snips and snails as well and they look just spot on perfect.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I'll watch it in the theater if I can.

Just seen the trailer a minute ago, and it looks horrendous. I'm not going to go spouting off on various forums and things, but I have no motivation to go watch it either. My gut feeling is that's Hasbro's attempt to appeal to young viewers while shaking off the unwanted adult crowd. I just can't think of any other reason to mash up two utterly different genres (cartoon high school drama, awesome) while claiming it's to appeal to an "older" audience. I think any older audience who didn't already like MLP would find that patronising. No, I think their motivation is quite the opposite. I defiantly smell some sort of corporate directive from a board of fusty talentless suits. Anyway, it's MLP largely without the P. I'm out!
