As a fan of Touken Ranbu, watching Hanamaru was really exciting! However, I have to say that overall I have a lot of negative criticisms.

To players of the game it made some sense, but to outsiders the lack of character introductions and plot explanation leaves them confused. I actually had a few friends DMing me asking me to fill in the holes for them. The game didn't have as much plot so it's up to the studio to interpret it their own way and come up with their own explanations, and besides the clock (which was pretty cool, wish we could've seen how Kashuu worked it) I can see people easily being lost.

Then of course, as a fan, there's my own non-objective opinions I can't share because they're based off my personal feelings... but this is only the first episode! I'm grateful we're getting two anime in the first place, and I'm really excited to see where it goes!
