Scooby-Doo goes anime? - "Yokoso Scooby-Doo!" to start streaming on Tubi

I'm honestly unsure how to feel about this one. I loved Scooby-Doo when I was a kid, but this is a somewhat surprising direction for the series. At least they seem to have the regular VAs on board. Being only available on these platforms though, I suspect this is being sent out to die.

Zoinks! “Scooby-Doo” is going anime. Tubi has acquired the new animated series “Yokoso Scooby-Doo!” — which means “Welcome Scooby-Doo” — which focuses on Scooby-Doo and Shaggy, and stars “Scooby-Doo!” voice regulars Frank Welker (“Scoob!”) and Matthew Lillard (“Scream”) as the two main roles.

“Yokoso Scooby-Doo!” is the first original anime “Scooby-Doo!” series, and is produced by Warner Bros. Animation. Tubi has exclusive rights to the series in North America, while Cartoon Network will run it internationally.

I don't even go here, but I might watch an episode or two.

Is this actually an anime or is it just an 'anime-inspired' Western animation series though

Huh? Looks, interesting?

They got OLM animating this. We must watch it as Pokémon fans.

Animated by OLM (who produce the Pokémon anime), and directed by Itsuro Kawasaki (who was the Assistant Director on several Pokémon specials). I don't know who did the script, but with that pedigree it's honestly no less anime than a series where Crunchyroll has been involved in the production committee.
