Let's get this clear, the quality in this series is not always the strongest. Beyond simple animation improvement, a few streaks of time, most notably early Season 3, are rough. It also really grows into it's own during Season 1, so be patient.
However beyond that, it really does strengthen the Prequels beyond belief. It makes Anakin a lot more fleshed out and likeable. You still see his issues, but it's made quite clear that he was none the less a good guy who fell over time.
Padme gets more time to shine as a moral force for good, Obi-Wan's snarking is top notch, Grievous strikes a good balance between his movie and E.U self, and even Jar Jar is improved.
As the true start of the new Star Wars continuity, it sets a good foundation for Rebels and anything that follows.
