"they skipped over a lot of material from the manga"

The parts that differed were so-so for me so I decided not to keep checking the manga but the last one I checked was the Doctor's daughter part back when saving Ban. Tbh, I can see why they would take it out. We would have heard the same stuff as always and that would have gotten boring after a while and not worth for a two cour. Other than that though, I found the BanXElaine to be lacking context in the anime whereas the manga had him explain all the different alcohol in order to keep her happy but again, that retraction could be for anime reasons and they still delivered on the emotional impact even though romance progression was vague.

I would love to know the other sections that were massively changed in the anime though. I need to know those details in case it was something that was essential for the experience.
