Deliberate low rankings (Bots?) for the new Pokemon Horizons anime

Hello IMDb, Pokemon Horizons has started to air since April and I've took notice that there are always exactly 8 one star ratings from the same country under each aired episode after one day of airing, which doesn't appear to be the case for the previous series. The timing feels suspicious and couldn't help but wonder if this is either a deliberate attempt to affect the reception of the new show or if it's just bots.

Update: happened today right away with the 7th episode (Special Training with Captain Pikachu) as well: 8 times a one star review straight away from the same country.
