Well you are not alone on that. I'm not in that boat, but I understand the disappointment.

Believe me, if I was the "read-only" type, I would avoid anime adaptations the moment I hear they don't do justice to the source material but meh, I'm a guy that tries out all modes of a media I enjoy so woe is me. >_< Fortunately or unfortunately majority anime teams mostly mess up storytelling, not always animation, art, atmosphere, voice-acting and music so you would need to be someone who is only on the story to avoid an anime completely. I mean, plenty of people watch things just because of the actors or writers, not because said thing is any good. I mean put Johnny Depp or Tom Cruise or Angelina Jolie(to name a few) as actors or someone like Steven Spielberg on a project and you instantly got a long line of people wanting to watch it without even needing a trailer. Same applies to anime and any other media. I know there are some anime that I get into only for the Voice acting and only later start appreciating for the other aspects like story.
