Haven't seen the trailer, but there's enough information about EG now that I'll say some stuff about it.

My main problem with Equestria Girls is the character designs. Humanized poines I could handle. Anthro ponies are another story. It's like... they certainly aren't poinies, but they sure as heck aren't human either. They're in some awkward in-between phase. The main thing that weirds me out -and I honestly don't mean to be racist when I say this- is that the anthro-ponies have retained their various coat-now-skin colors. It works on ponies, but on sort-of-humans it just doesn't. That isn't even bringing up the cheesy-looking outfits. Dash's is the one I think I dislike the most and, perhaps quite appropriately, Rarity's is about the only one I can say I like.

Otherwise, though, it looks like it might not be too bad. We've got the usual MLP:FiM team behind it, and a plot that seems -so far- decent. I also rather like the apparent antagonist, though I can't help but wish she was showing up as a pony instead.

You may yet get your wish.
My theory is that Twilight goes back to Equestria and SS follows her, where SS becomes villainous due to the fact that she was the princess' student, too, and well-learned in magic. And they, you know, fight.

I will point out, DF, that they actually aren't anthros. Other than their funky colors, they're human.
I just really hope that Sonic T. Hedgehog there doesn't wind up as an actual love interest.

IMPORTANT NOT-SPOILER: DO NOT LEAVE UNTIL THE CREDITS HAVE FINISHED, NO MATTER WHAT. THANK ME LATER.

Ok, with that crucial information out of the way, a lot of this post is spoilers. I'll make it small, but not tiny, so you don't have to copy/paste to read it, but you won't accidentally catch anything, hopefully. Just keep scrolling past to the end!

Anyway, the theater was packed, about 50% target audience, 50% bronies. Before it started, the intro to the previews stopped twice; someone had a pony soundboard, so while everyone was grumbling about it, I just heard Pinkie yell "COME ON!!!" from somewhere behind me & everyone cracked up. Shortly after the second time it cut right to the movie, so overall we didn't lose too much time, & got some lulz out of it.

Oh, & did anyone notice that Sunset Shimmer's name is basically the same as Twilight's? Everyone except for me? Yeah I figured.


--------SPOILERBLOCK--------







I am quite pleased. A few things I wanted & didn't get; Dr. Whooves looking just like David, Lyra obsessing over ponies, any Discord at all. But I was surprised quite happily by just as many things as I wished were present & weren't; Trixie's little scene with the vending machine, Big Mac's lines, & of course, more than anything else, Derpy. Actually, I found myself watching the background in any scenes with crowds, rather than the Mane Hair Six. Overall the plot wasn't bad, & was very true to the show. Plus the humor & brony references throughout made it very enjoyable. Ultimately my one complaint comes down to the addition of Sentry as a love interest. Everything was as awesome as Rainbow Dash. Though, they missed a few opportunities that would've made it about 20% cooler.
Like a 20% cooler reference, ironically.







--------SPOILERBLOCK--------

*yawn* Ah, I've gotten into a habit of going to sleep at 4 & sleeping until noon, which is a half-hour after it started, so I woke up way extra early & am now exhausted. I'm gonna go take a nap. Stay pony, my friends.

I haven't seen it yet, but I guess I officially came out as a brony to everybody. I mean, I'm wearing a Doctor Whooves/Derpy shirt and the same shirt as a pin(without the TARDIS), I own a brony shirt that Hot Topic apparently isn't going to sell anymore, and a Vinyl Scratch T-Shirt. A Hetalia shirt, too, but nevermind that.
One day when my stepdad is working I wanna see if my mom can take me.

Good for you. I was personally wearing my Derpy belt & Background Six shirt. Plus I was with no one except my awesome brony stepmom, & made sure to complement a guy wearing a Vinyl shirt on his excellent choice in ponies. So yeah, in other words I was far from trying to hide it, though I never was to start with.

Ugh, I didn't find any belts. There was a hat that said "BRONY", but my head was too big. Seriously. My head is huge.
And for some reason Doctor Whoove's tie is red instead of green on my shirt.

Well, I still can't say I like some of the outfits, but the human-ponies are starting to grow on me, I suppose.

As for your review/whateveryouwanttocallit, Clocky, I can't say the positive review surprises me. When it comes down to it, it's still the usual FiM team that worked on it, and we all know what they can do with stuff like this.

There's one by my dad's house playing it. My stepdad is working tomorrow, so I might be able to see it. My mom might drop me off with my brother.
