And what kind of information do you have that I don't, that tells you that the game won't be good? So far, we only know that: It's a 3D fighting game. It's based on a manga/anime. It's developed by Capcom. It can turn out good, or bad, but you just can't say anything objective about it.
Let's give the game an opportunity, at least.
As I said, I'm not judging the game. It can be vindicated, for sure, and for multiple reasons, I'm not denying it. We'll have to wait to know.
What I'm judging is the premise. That's the only information I have.
What I'm saying is that, as you can see by the general impression, people are not hyped at all. The fans expect something more from Capcom, and that premise does not live up to their expectations.
And that's because the game looks plain so far.
I know this can be tricky, I know about "don't judge a book by its cover", etc. Maybe we even are in front of the finest fighting game ever. I highly doubt it, though (again, basing on the premise).
Sorry if that sounded subjective but I didn't meant to be objective, though, just reflecting my opinion ^^U
But I still want to quench your thirst.

REIVINDICANDO!!! 
Basically it's an insanely catchy meme used by my friends. Also... you know... there are so many things to vindicate! (and even more in the context we were yesterday!!!)
Well ...back on topic:
I haven't read History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi, but I might try. It looks like a pretty generic and plain shonen series with modest art, which is the main reason why it did not draw my attention.
I like Capcom, though, I recognise I keep an eye on anything they do. Some people might think that this is a step in the right direction, but I think that, so far, this game drags the same lacks that its referent has.

I so should choose my words carefully.
What I meant to say is that the visuals don't look good, but I can't say that the game is overall horrid because I don't know the mechanics. A game can look horrid and still be a terrific game just because of the way the game works. That's the key here. "Jingi Storm" does look nice though dated, but from what I have heard, the gameplay, aside from what we already know, is not kind at all.

I've seen way uglier licensed games
So have I.

Anime licensed games are usually pretty poor. Anime fighting games are usually the worst of the lot, because they take the least design effort to make (aside from dating sims). The game looks like all those other generic anime fighters, so there's more reason to expect something mediocre than there is to expect something excellent. And frankly, there's no point in releasing something that isn't excellent, aside from making a few bucks off people who can't tell the difference.
Anime licensed games today: yes. Anime licensed games back in the Super Famicom days or before those: no. Anime fighting games these days are pretty horrid overall these days, though "Jojo's", from what little experience I had, wasn't bad at all.
As far as I know, I have yet to see a horrid anime/manga-based game involving Capcom. I mean, I sort of like "Jojo" (only because I was never that familiar with it) and "Area 88" is one of the best shooting games I have played ever. So, there.
Edit: grammar.
