I hope S5 won't be another 13-episode season. I will be very disappointed if that Equestria Academy thing took away from S5.

We'd better be getting a 52 episode season if we're waiting this long :-/

Here's a horrible thought. What if S5 happens in the fall of 2015? As in, they skip the 2014-2015 broadcast season entirely.

Then we'd better be getting 78 episode season :twonk:

I was. With LPS having a short season break, I figured it'd be the same with Pony.

I guess they were working on that Equestria Girls spin-off after all.

I was expecting S5 to begin sometime around October. FiM is still the Hub's flagship show, so going this long without it seems like a very risky move.

Why would they say that it's happening in 2015 if it's really going to happen in November 2014? Is that just their way of saying "oh, the bulk of it will be in 2015?" Or are they perhaps hedging their bets just in case the premiere has to be pushed back to 2015?

You know, I know Attack on Titan isn't coming back until 2015 either, but at least they're working on things that isn't more Equestria Girls stuff this year. :unenthused:

I was really expecting Fall 2014, since this season had only a single break, I thought we would get ponies sooner.

Uh oh, now I'm worried it's going to be another 13-episode season. :flutterdear:

It doesn't make sense to start it in January if it's 26 episodes.

So the EQG animated series was also confirmed, and seems to be taking FiM's slot later this year. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see new FiM till November of next year.

Season 5 will be 26 episodes. From what I've heard all future seasons of FIM & LPS will have 26 eps.


As for Equestria Academy, have to wait & see what all it entails all we seem to know is that it might start in November.

I can't see them shelving their flagship show for a year and a half. If anything I would expect the new series to start near the EQG series so FiM can anchor it. Kind of how they used MLP to build up LPS.

Odds are it'll be January or Febuary of 2015. If it was November of next year they would say coming 2016 since most of it would air then.

And wasnt Equestria Academy just supposed to be a 4 part mini series!?

I'd make sense. The Equestria Girls are already as terrifying as titans at this point, there isn't a lot to change. :-I

I'm doubting that. I think it's a lot more likely to only have 13 episodes than delaying it so late and announcing it already. :pinkieshrug:

Didn't they just say at first it'll be in winter for this season?

We have a whole bunch of not much information at the moment. Panicking about it doesn't help at all. I'm betting on the late-November idea, same as this past year, honestly.

And I know it's not some people's cup of tea, but the Rainbow Rocks shorts have me feeling slightly better about that whole end of things- they look much more- how to put this?- well-loved by their creators than the first movie did. It's not FiM, but it'll do in a pinch.

Last year, we went from the middle of March to the end of November- 8 months and change. We can handle mid-May to January if we have to.

Edit: They did say "winter" this past season, which made everyone immediately think "well at least December 21 because that's the first day of winter :v: " so we have a track record of being overly pessimistic about these things.

I guess it could be worse. It was common for "Venture Bros." to go on two year hiatus between seasons...

Honestly, I don't see them running two MLP shows at the same time. There is too much of a good thing after all, and running both could quickly lead to over saturation. Also don't forget that the same team works on both shows, and that would be a tremendous workload for anyone.

Like Wylie said though, we hardly know Jack at the moment. Hopefully we will learn more at SDCC.

We don't know who consists the EQ Academy team, could be diff peeps. We don't know if EQA is 13 or 26 eps, or just a 4 part mini series. We should wait till SDCC when we get more info to shout doom & gloom.

As for Me ima just hyped for the Finale of S4 !!! Woooo!!!

It all hinges on how many episodes Equestria Girls is. If it is a four part mini-series of 20 min blocks, then yeah we will see FiM in Febuary. If it gets a even half season though, don't expect FiM fill much later.

I think that's stininkin thinkin. Saying you can't start FIM until EQA ends is just silly no matter how long/short it is. They wouldn't pull A venture Bros with this. You don't wait to put out your staple toon just cause it's little sister is still airing . I mean by that logic shouldn't air new MLP eps when LPS or Sabrina are on either.

The length or lack there of wouldn't keep FIM airing in Q1 of 2015.

If S5 doesn't air between Jan-March next year I'll eat my hat! :twiright:
