As I’ve mentioned before I’m working my out of anime normie territory. I’m currently watching Ah My Goddess (yes I know, but it’s a catchy show) and I know it’s based on a manga so I was wondering if anime adaptations do a better job than here in the west. I know Japan isn’t perfect but it seems like they value the source material a lot more than they do here. Or am I mistaken?

The only downside is the entire premise, of that "battle of love and war," is dropped way too early into the series. Something like 80 chapters into the 280 total it loses that angle to become "how they overcome their trauma" arcs.
Its still great and I enjoyed it the whole way through, but the anime is going to lose a lot of what people liked about it soon because they've run out of those chapters to work with and are going to hit the "long multi part drama" episodes instead.
The ishigami arc kind of already got into that kind of arc and I think it was received generally well. But yeah it will be interesting to see how well it is received if or when the anime passes the culture festival arc.
Ishigami has multiple very long arcs dealing with his stuff. They've only covered part of it.
Its also the first of them. It was well recieved in the manga too, until that was all the manga did (and they pulled some deus ex machina bullshit to "resolve" Ishigami's because the author was in a hole so they could move on). Then there came a bunch, including the Ice arc which idk anyone who likes, all the way until the ending.
Yeah ice was rough in the manga, especially coming off the high right before it. Hoping it comes off a bit better binging it in anime form instead of waiting a week for a chapter then being annoyed.
