You know normally I would agree with this, but we recently have had a slew of anime that have not only adapted on the source material perfectly, but even elevated it beyond anything else with new additions. Frieren, The Apothecary Diaries, Bocchi The Rock!, Eminence In Shadow, and 100 Girlfriends are all shining examples. Not to mention the plethora of other shows that simply adapt everything properly and don't cut. So yeah, forgive me for hoping that the anime would continue the trend of all these great adaptations and not seemingly chop the characters in half.
