Is there hope for an MLP anime?

Now, there has been desire for an MLP anime among the g4 fan base for a long time now. There has been an official MLP the Manga, and Equestria Girls has paved the way for anime magical girl sequences through their many movies. I think that the biggest play that Hasbro could make at this point, is allowing the G1 Takara ponies to make a comeback and giving them their own anime through a fresh and fancy reboot. Now, I get it- the Takara ponies are a branch of MLP that is pretty obscure outside of the g1 collector's fan base, and only limited to Japan, but with with the MLP franchise approaching 50 years of pastel ponies, I think this branch could be given a second chance.

In my opinion, Hasbro could take a leap of faith and really go all in on reinventing the Takara line for an anime- especially since it was a Japanese exclusive toyline, and Japan pretty much pushed anime to the world, and it is no longer something to be made fun of and ridiculed, as it used to be. I would love to see possibly even a brand new character being introduced, as well as fleshing out the very scarce Takara pony lore through an anime. Filly Frills (or just "Frilly") could be the new character- perhaps a protege of Milky and Pinky, the g1 Takaras, who, like g4 Rarity, could be all about fashion and style, or just have interesting magical girl transformation sequences that showcase different outfits, like that of Cardcaptor Sakura.
