I agree more or less to this.
There are indeed underwatched animes that remain to be lowly rated purely for the fact that they are indeed bad. 8 to 9 out of 10 times is the case. However, there are some situations where underwatched animes that should have gotten more attention but did not, because they did not have the tag "KyoAni" or "J. C. Staff" or a famous director next to the title.
Popularity is an indication of whether a form of media is good or not. If something is popular, then it means a large proportion of the audience liked it and thus has a higher chance of actually being good. The converse is the same - if something is not so popular then it means a large proportion of the audience did not like it and thus has a lower chance of it actually being good.
However, at the end of the day it is personal tastes and preferences that determine whether something is good for that particular person. Overrated/underrated is usually a subjective term that depends on person to person. Whats overrated/underrated to one person might not be to another.
