Let's see, to me an adaptation of a main story can't take everything from the original if they have to pay attention to lack of time or space, or to improve flow however I think they should at least keep the vital core elements so as to not disappoint hard-core fans like me. For instance here is an example from a series that ended this year and got hate for the badly adapted ending. I shall point out the events in the main novel and then say what happened in the anime

Events in A - Two people who had stopped interacting with each other few years past started to get closer again due to strange circumstances. They overcome their problems and have a love-hate relationship.

Events in B - We get to see a flashback of when one party was so reliable, hardworking, active and straight forward and gained the admiration and respect of the other. Then we get to see how that admiration was rewarded jealousy and loneliness. Slowly the first party became lethargic and boring person, earning the disgust of the other party that used to look up to him.

Events in C - Back in the present there is a confrontation and the first party is told the story and begins to remember the past

Events in D - A detailed flashback spanning pretty much the entire novel about the days when the first party was the "hot-blooded idiot" who loved to get into other people's business and help them out. Anyways, this whole part explains the whole reason for the first party to become lethargic and "normal" as well as introduce the guilty party responsible for making it happen.

E - Afterwards back in the present, the first party starts thinking and after some time(weeks) comes to a decision.

Now here's what happened in the anime.

A - Basically the same since it is the core introduction

B - Yes we see this is a very rushed ending

C - Skipped

D - F***ING SKIPPED!!!! Even the person responsible is omitted despite that person being the prime focus in the novel

E - Same.

Reaction - WTF!? How the hell are the anime-only fans supposed to know that they skipped the vital points that lead to the character development and the whole reason for Event A? WTF!!!!!

Anyways, as you can see, by removing that crucial plot point, they also removed a crucial character from the story entirely, thus rendering the ending as baseless. Luckily the final 3 episodes were done pretty well even though the series lacked complete chapters from the original works.
