There is a pony manga...equestria girls season 3...possibly the idw comics continuing...plus Hasbro have a history of doing ‘soft’ reboots with successful franchises.
I could still be clutching at straws but something tells me that ‘g5’ won’t be that different after all.
You know why I think they decided to end FIM? Because after 9 seasons, a movie, several specials and shorts etc. it would be hard to get new fans in. So hopefully they’re ‘pulling over’, doing a soft reboot, and then continuing on with the same formula but wrapped up in a new animation style and in a new co text.
They wanted to animate in-house, which means a new company, which means a new animation style. Which combined with the fact that the characters have all developed so much, and the status quo had changed somewhat, you actually might as well have a ‘do over’.
What I’m hoping for, is a sort of ‘successor’ series, either still centred on the mane six or at least featuring them, showing life in equestria under twilights rule. And I have a gut feeling that they will.
Let’s face it, companies tend to stick with a formula long after its past its sell by date. So the idea that a company would just ditch the formula when, imo, it’s got a lot of life left, seems strange to me.
