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?

Generally with anime adaptations if the original author raises an objection to something in the adaptation, the production has to stop and address it. I don't think they are required to but they do it out of respect for the original author. It has happened a few times over the years. That is MUCH better than what we do here.
That stated, if you do request to stop it, that's a LOT of money in the aether that needs addressing, so you better wind up having a good reason. They'll respect it, but you're paying with social capital per hour of stopped work.
