Still, I'll give EQG a try - it's got a good crew on it, after all, so if anyone can make something of this misbegotten concept, it'd be them.
But.. Dashie in a skirt? And Applejack looking like she'd be in danger of breaking if she lifted a heavy book?
I'm also at rather a loss to understand why Hasbro seems to be putting quite so much energy into EQG, to the extent of a theatrical launch, when even FiM hasn't received such prestigious treatment. (Nor, for that matter, even worldwide availability on iTunes, remaining in the US store only)
(I was also delighted to see LF help spread the word of Disney's attempt to remake Merida into a more stereotypical "princess")

I think they're trying to go after a new demographic there. MLP:FiM has got younger girls covered, as well as older folks (say, ages 20 and up) of either gender, but they're probably missing out on the teenage girl demographic.
Someone observed that Equestria Girls appears to be intended as a direct competitor to Monster High, and I think that makes a lot of sense. And the fact that it's based on MLP:FiM is mostly unimportant, then: the connection really just provides a convenient hook of familiarity and draws in people who might otherwise be reluctant to consider an entirely new franchise.

That, at least, should change soon. The German iTunes already has the first two seasons up, and I believe an English-language release will follow in due course.
Rarity still looks like a ghost due to the whiteness of her skin, and RD still looks like a corpse because of the pale blue colour... I can't decide which one's worse. :\
I'm still trying REALLY HARD not to have preconceived notions about EQG, but... Every time I see something like that, it gets harder and harder... :(
