* BrokenBase: Some fans are upset that the series is merely a bunch of short [=YouTube=] videos and not a full spin-off show, which has been called for ever since ''Rainbow Rocks'', and the weakness in some of the shorts has been pointed to as proof the format doesn't allow enough humor and creativity to be worth producing. Others are happy to get more ''Equestria Girls'' content outside of the infrequent longer TV specials and like the series for being short and light fun. Then there's detractors who point to the weaker elements of the digital series as proof that there isn't enough to ''Equestria Girls'' to make it a full spin-off show and its best kept to the specials and [=YouTube=] shorts.

* WereStillRelevantDammit: "Text Support" focuses on Twilight trying to decipher an emoji text from Timber Spruce and asking either Rarity, Fluttershy or Sunset Shimmer on how to respond. It doesn't take away from the rest of the short, in fact it seems get a bit of LampshadeHanging on the ridiculousness in how each girl tells her to respond, but it's still a bit jarring knowing that this is an active plot point in a piece of ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' media.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Judging from the [=YouTube=] comments, two different issues have sprung up:
** The first is centered around Timber Spruce's return. Some are happy that he's coming back, giving the potential for him to be fleshed out even more; others wish that [[DemotedToExtra he would suffer the same fate as Flash Sentry]].
** New characters being introduced in the human world. In this case however, the debate seems to be centered on one of the two characters confirmed to have this happening to them: [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E12FlutterBrutter Zephyr Breeze]], whose pony counterpart is ''already'' a base breaker.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In the Choose Applejack ending of Fluttershy’s Butterflies, Fluttershy tells Applejack that she has visualized the audience as her. After that we see an Imagine Spot of an audience of Applejacks yelling, “We believe in you, Fluttershy!”
* BrokenBase: Some find the series a great way to continue the ''Equestria Girls'' franchise in new ways without resorting to movies, others find them the uninspired dregs of half-baked ideas that couldn't support another movie anyway. Related to this, fan demand for a full ''Equestria Girls'' spin-off show has been around for a few years now. Either you think this series is that spin-off and like it as such, find it to be a waste of potential for a full show that could have been made with these ideas, or are grateful the series didn't get a full spin-off because these specials prove it wouldn't have been able to work.

* HilariousInHindsight: A few regarding the existence of a Website/YouTube-exclusive ''Equestria Girls'' show.
** The initial announcement for the spin-off back in 2013 -- four years and four months ago! -- was as a "companion series" to the main ''Friendship Is Magic'' show. It turned out to be a movie (and then a series of movies. And then an actual, episodic series.)
** Back when ''Rainbow Rocks'' was announced and set for release, [[http://www.toyzmag.com/2014/04/kazachok-2014-hasbro-tranformers-et-my-little-pony/ a French toy magazine reported]] that the Kazachok Licensing Show 2014 event had (supposedly; the entire thing is very EpilepticTree worthy) details on a new ''Equestria Girls'' series titled ''L'Equestria Academy, l’école de tous les succès'' [[note]]("''The Equestria Academy: The School of Every Success''")[[/note]], and that it would debut on that year's Kidexpo (except it didn't, and was never mentioned again).
** And, of course, the insanity of ''WebAnimation/{{EQUESTRIA GIRLS}}'', which predates '''the first film'''[[note]]For the unaware, it's a parody series made in the wake of the initial leaks of the entire ''Equestria Girls'' concept -- as such, it's extremely heavy on the StylisticSuck, starting with the fact the Rainbooms are poorly cut-out vectors of the leaked concept art that bob up and down to talk[[/note]].
