I can think of only one reason this anime is so low rated. It's because people think about it just as I thought at the beginning - oh my lord what does it look like, the nostalgia tells me that this looks bad omg and it's just a reboot. But then I've read that it wasn't just a visual reboot, it was the actual anime adaptation and not only some childlish cartoon about 'friendship is magic'. It's great, it's actually awesome. Yeah sure the art is pretty mediocre and for 2021 anime it SHOULD be better but you can get used to it. Great story.It's awesome that it's gonna get a second season. Can't wait to see it!
