I don't see why being human means they have to go to school when as ponies they had already finished...other than to appeal to the target demographic.

Or maybe it doesn't, we don't know anything about it.

Maybe it's a prequel, and in the final episode someone casts a magic spell that turns everyone into ponies. [lol]

Don't forget, equines age differently from humans. As ponies, they would be more than old enough to live independently and hold jobs, but as humans, they would be teenagers.

I don't see what that has to do with the argument of turning full-grown, independent adults into haven't-even-graduated-high-school teenagers.

Well, this certainly suprising to say the least.

If there isn't a crossover between the two I will be disappoint.

The teenager part seemed rather predictable to me, for some reason their overall personalities just screamed teenager or unmatured adult. Not to mention teenager tends to be the most versatile age for a cartoon character. How many quirky action heroes have you seen in their teens?

It seems that the general consensus among Korean bronis are "What is Hasbro smoking?"

As for me, although the true verdict can be arrived until it actually airs, my complaint, although I am sure this has been raised before, is that the art-style looks so crude. I can name at least few dozens of humanized art from Derpibooru and Deviant Art that is far better than this.

Then again, what is great in a piece of stationary fan-art may be far too complex to actually animate.

Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.

I'm still cautiously optimistic. If it sucks, it won't affect FIM and it might just be really cool.

It was less about the content but more about Hasbro's decision. It was more of "What the hell was Hasbro thinking?"

Again, as for me, I am not going to hand out verdicts until (if) it comes out.

Well, this is an interesting idea. <Raises eyebrow>

Still I have to wonder:

  1. What sort of plotlines would occur in this spin-off?
  2. Are any characters from MLPFIM going to make an appearance, apart from Trixie and the Mane 6?
  3. Are the Cutie Mark Crusaders going to make any appearance?

I'm assuming that it's not a hoax and it's really going to happen. If it does happen, this could mark the first time Hasbro has made a spin-off showing humanized versions of My Little Pony! surprised

Oh, Equestria, we stand on guard for thee!

The 'promo' image is fake, it was found on MULP's MLP hate blog, so calm down.

[up]It doesn't seem fake (and for what it's worth, the version that EQD posted is higher-res than the version that FNMLP posted)

I knew the leak was a hoax Hasbro's not stupid to pit mundane humans against the lies of Monster High. plus again why would the have Trixie appear on the spin off over other well known ponies (Derpy) other then because Sethisto is the biggest Trixie fan-boy ever?

If its real, MULP may simply have the connections to acquire a production still. Its how a lot of these leaked images occur I think, someone really does Knows a Guy Who Knows a Guy.

Like I said, the character designs look much different than what bronies usually do with humanization. I'm sure DHX or whoever is heading up this IP would want to go with their own character designs than just rip off fanart.

Its possible that when the trademark was revealed to involve dolls, that someone with Flash put that together and coincidentally had it ready to be "leaked" shortly after TV Movie announcement, but at this point I doubt it.

EQD's post said that the image had "been floating around for awhile" and that they didn't post it until they found out about the magazine announcement, so it isn't certain which blog got ahold of the image first.

The image popped up somewhere on tumblr a few days before. Whenever these leaks happen Equestria Daily gets bombarded. Seth was probably just waiting for more substantial evidence (the magazine article) to post it himself.

Where the Trixie image came from is a bigger mystery.

@Crewe;.... Hot damn, she is wearing a backpack! I hadn't noticed that before. I thought she was wearing some kind of open vest thing over her schoolgirl shirt thing.

Just to be sure; is this spin off confirmed or just a rumor? I don't really care either way, but I am still curios.
