This question straddles all three of anime, manga, and light novels, so I figured I'd just drop it in the anime community first. Though if it doesn't belong here, feel free to delete it and I'll go somewhere else.

I've only been watching anime for a few years. This year, I've started reading manga and LN of some anime I've seen. There are a few titles where I feel like the anime adaptation was just as good and there are some where I feel like it was better. Fortunately, I haven't encountered any cases where I think the anime completely dropped the ball, but I know there probably are some like that.

What are some titles that have huge disparities in quality between its anime adaptation and the source?

I think Steins;Gate is very subjective. The original visual novel translates quite well into a linear anime format, especially considering it was not hit with the 12 episodes curse like Chaos;Child. You do miss Okabe's internal monologue, but IMO it is not a probelm.

Steins;Gate 0 however, was impossible to make into a loyal adaptation. They did make it a good companion for the visual novel though.
