Since joining the Discord can take a while, if you just want to see information about the G5 and season 8 leaks and you aren't already part of the channel, then PM me or Sylvee.
EDIT: Speaking of which, also PM me if you want access to the weekly episode stream without going through Discord. It's starting at 12 PM PST today.
EQG - Best Trends Forever
Kind of surprised the CYOA episodes are all distinct. I thought they were all going to connect into one long story.
Nice "all the girls I like don't like me back" haircut there, Flash. Rarity sitting on the desk is cute.
Hmm, the animation seems different. Is it just that we don't see the faces from the front this often? It reminds me of Silver Quill's Pinkie Pie Says Goodnight comics.
Because I'm me, and they gave the option, I went with Twilight first. It was cute, and Rarity and Twilight smoosh cheeks at the end. I don't ship Rarity with SciTwi, but I'll take it.
Next is rainbows, rainbows, darling. Yes, I was reminded of G3 Rainbow Dash. This was pretty funny, especially with the Twilight Zone moment--wait wait wait, why not use a Twilight Zone joke with Twilight?
With Pinkie... Rarity, I don't think confetti is a fashion. And indeed, as opposed to the previous two, only Pinkie actually follows this trend. I love how Rarity uses her geode power in such mundane but useful ways. Twilight, you're seriously just throwing confetti outside? This one was alright.
This was a lot of fun.
So have at it, which scenario is canon?
Though wait, come to think of it, it's also possible that this exact scenario happened on three different days, with Rarity going with a different girl each time. Flash would use the same joke every day.
Oh for sure, but it is interesting to see what they're willing to explore, and I imagine the general intention will remain the same.
The race changes are indeed odd, but not without precedence. See earth pony Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy in G3.

It's kind of weird since it felt like they were setting things up to go for a lot longer, with the Pillars and such. And then season 8 adds even more stuff that could potentially allow the series to go on for a while. But I agree, I always felt that the show should end before it gets bad.'Tis sad to read the show will end at season 9, but shows can't really last forever. And I certainly wouldn't want it to last so much the show will become stale and suffer more seasonal rot, which is a mix feeling I usually have with long runners like the Simpsons.
Meghan McCarthy at least is heavily involved in the creation of G5, but that's because she's overseeing all animated projects now. I imagine we'll see a lot of returning writers.This generation 5 show will certainly be a tough act to follow, though I hope the writers of FiM continue to stay and transition to the new show. I just hope the animation style becomes impressive.
Holy crap, something new that isn't a leak.BTW another EQG short is up, and it looks like it's a choose your ending scenario.

Important thing to note on the G5 leak is that they seem to be in the earliest planning stages for something that isn't going to launch until 2020 or 2021. It doesn't even seem like they're at the "show bible" stage yet, and if you look at the G4 bible, things still changed between that and the final product.
The big thing is the race changes. I hope this doesn't happen. It seems like changes for the sake of changes, and I would rather they just create new characters.
