Unnecessary reboot that adds little and leaves out a lot. The art and voice-acting was on point - indistinguishable at most parts and arguably better at some. The original music was rather iconic and didn't need to be replaced.
The original writing was as rich and complex as anything out there. This version has been simplified to either the high school or grade school level of understanding. We don't need exposition like "you're our leader *wink*". We don't need a single complex character to be completely unraveled via a few episodes of dream exposition. And with all that they're skipping, even the phrase "best friends" rings a little hollow.
However, if you simply see this as bonus scenes with a slightly different style, it's a nice little filler before rewatching the original - which I am doing presently.
