It's interesting that the issue of what constitutes "quality" is a big deal in the business world as well.
At the risk of sounding like an old fogey (guess I am actually), as part of my PMP certification the PMI folks preach that quality is how well the end product matches the requirements. IOW, if the requirements say "use bailing wire" and your end product does, in fact, use bailing wire, then the final product is of good quality.
Now, you may say that the requirements should specify something more substantial, but that's not a quality issue. That's someone either misunderstanding what they were asking for, or having decided that they needed to cut corners somewhere to match the budget.
SO... for a series like LS, the quality question is, does this do a good job of bringing the manga to life? If it does, then it's a quality adaption even if you don't particularly care for this type of series - in which case you should look for something where the requirements and your tastes align better.
All that said, how long until ep 4?
