I'm not sure what the policies on spoilers on, but I'll tread lightly regardless:
I'm sorta glad this series exists. I'll be able to reintroduce myself to the series before NEO comes out, so that's really refreshing (even though, if I'm being honest, the anime kinda makes me want to play the game again; I probably will after I finish it). I really dig the art style and animation, and even though the CGI is pretty hit-or-miss, it's nice to see these fights translated over to something flashier than just tapping on pins, repeating those same animations lol. Something about Neku's characterization so far strikes me as different or odd, but I can quite put my finger on it. Might just be me tho.
