I agree with this, a writer can come up with a good plot but if he doesn't have a good prose then he won't be able to do his plot justice.
And it's why I take issue with TRL saying that people that don't particularly enjoy the visual aspect of an anime should just "read the book", some people just don't like prose and they'll gladly take a story with mediocre visual storytelling over a story told with great prose.
I also disagree with lumping books and mangas together, mangas tell their story visually even if its not quite the same language as anime.What makes Mitsuru Adachi a great mangaka is his ability to tell stories with images.
