Anime made from manga should be like the manga.
Prime examples of this going wrong are Love Hina and Ah! Megamisama.
In the Love Hina manga, the main character matures roughly halfway through the manga and the story moves along as a steady pace. In the anime, it takes the full series, 2 specials, and a movie to almost get the character development the manga had halfway through it.
One scene in Ah! Megamisama went from a sweet endearing statement "I wish for someone like you to be with me always" in the manga to "I want you to be my girlfriend" in the anime. The entire scene was cheapened. The rest was downhill from there.
