I don't agree at all. I don't see the point in adaptations if you aren't going to change a thing. Doing something different doesn't mean it's meant to be better or worse. Just different.
See I've never been the biggest fan of this argument because it sidesteps around the fact that anime is almost entirely based around 1 to 1 adaptations of another medium and is humongously successful.
The point of adapting to another medium can just be exactly that, that it is another medium with a different set of tools to tell the story.
Hmm I don't read manga or watch anime so I can't really comment much. But I suppose when adapting a manga to anime the goal is probably to reach a wider audience with a proven story, buurt in this case it's cashing in on nostalgia with people that are already familiar.
