User blog comment:ThatGuy456/A Guy's Thoughts: (Feat. Mattalamode) Season 1 Debate/@comment-28485972-20170804125538

I don't think season 1 is hated per se. It wasn't horrible (except for The Wand and The Laziest), but it was very forgettable. The animation wasn't the best, the writing felt all over the place, the humour was a bit off and it just seemed like the writers didn't know where they were going with this. So season 1 was pretty much just a show for casual viewers. In fact, I think that's one of the reasons why this show isn't as well recognized as Adventure Time or Steven Universe. It wasn't until season 2 and 3 when the show actually got a fandom, heck, they even started to be enjoyable to young adults.
