I am a longtime fan of the original Tiny Toon Adventures series from 1990, and I have many fond memories associated with it, from watching its show to playing its video games. Having seen Tiny Toons Looniversity on MAX, I'm sorry to say that it's not as good as the original series, due in part to being in a separate continuity from it rather than a direct continuation the way Animaniacs (2020) was to the original 1993 series.
First off, one of the worst changes is that Babs and Buster Bunny are now twin siblings. In the original series, the two rabbits often said "No relation!" whenever they introduced each other and were also depicted as a couple. Making them twin siblings is like if Disney made Mickey and Minnie Mouse twins; it just doesn't work. Also, their personalities appear to have been switched; Babs is now the cool, level-headed one and Buster is the one more prone to comical outbursts.
Another issue I have is the lack of variety. Every episode is set in the same location, ACME Looniversity, and rather than alternate between having three seven-minute shorts focusing on different characters and full 22-minute episodes, every episode is the latter.
Finally, the end credits lack the gag credits and end tags of the original series. Each episode of the original series had a gag credit usually associated with the episode's theme and an end tag featuring one of the show's characters. Here, there are no gag credits, only a select number of episodes have end tags, and even then, they're before the end credits rather than after.
While Tiny Toons Looniversity is far from the worst reboot I've ever seen (there are definitely much worse ones such as Teen Titans Go! and The Powerpuff Girls (2016)), it's also far from the best. I'll still be watching it in the hopes that the original series will be brought to MAX and Konami's Tiny Toons video games will be brought to modern consoles, but I don't see Looniversity lasting beyond the two seasons it has planned. It may be good if this is your first exposure to Tiny Toons, but the original series is so much better.
