Games using anime-ish character designs in 3D tend to look somewhat weird to my eyes compared to 2D. And it gets even weirder when they do fanservice-y scenes with it. See, I totally don't mind stuff like the
mid-battle cut-ins of SRW Endless Frontier on the DS. That doesn't bother me the way the 3D stuff does. It's probably because this style is something I see in 2D all the time, and seeing it forced into the 3D realm just puts me off, almost in an uncanny valley sort of way. This might or might not agree with Elin's original intentions, but this is what I meant, personally.
