I prefer adaptations that strive to be a "good anime" by taking liberties and making the necessary tweaks to the original work (Jinrui, Tasogare Otome x Amnesia, Chuunibyou, Kotoura-san). Then you have extremely faithful adaptations that only strive to put on TV what was on paper (SAO, BTOOOM!, Sakurasou). If done right, the former are more likely to be a great show. As for the latter, faithfulness often sacrifices being a "good anime" for fan pandering's sake.
With MAOYU, I feel I got a great anime, a fantastic manga and a very interesting novel. It's win-win-win to me. I don't feel that the anime it's a lesser work just because there's a "missing scene" or did things differently.
