I agree! I mean, we have SO little information on it. If any of us, before becoming pony fans, got as much information about MLP:FiM as we did about this show, most of us would probably think it was stupid, right?

At the same time, while I'm willing to give this show a chance, I'm not optimistic that it will be good. Not optimistic at all. This is partially because I've learned my pony history. Back in the G1 days, they started out with a couple of specials and a TV series (My Little Pony 'n' Friends) that were VERY much oriented around fantasy adventures (more so than FiM, even). However, in 1992, they made a new show called "My Little Pony Tales", which didn't feature humans, but which featured ponies which were very humanlike; other than often standing on all fours, the ponies acted almost exactly like humans, and there were few fantasy elements (there were almost no unicorns and pegasi, even). From what I've seen, it was a step down from its fantasy-oriented predecessors. It only lasted 1 season.

Of course, the analogy is hardly exact. Tales replaced 'n Friends, while EG will NOT replace FiM in any way (yay).
