First off, I don't like animes that have too much filler especially when it doesn't feature any backstories that are never mentioned in the manga. It's a waste of time and a waste of what could have been either some originality or good story telling. Second, I don't like any animes that end after 12 or 13 episodes and no new season while the manga goes on for several more volumes. Third, I prefer if animes cover EVERY chapter without skipping to a later arc or the ending. Lastly, if it deviates from the manga, I hope it at least tries to do something better than what the manga had in mind.
Okay, you were actually making me think of a fairly new anime called School-Live that had been fairly noteworthy for having differences to its manga. An entire new character is added, which they then change up order of events, alter some a bit, and even create new story to accommodate the new character. Now some have gotten up in arms that it diverges from the gospel of the manga, while some others think that it might actually be an excellent example of an adaption in that it looked at its source material and thought about how it could create a stronger version of what the manga did, and things that would work strongly in anime form. I think that it was all the stronger for what it did, that rather than just use its source material as its screenplay it dared to do better than that.
It is also like a 12 episode series that originally finished, with more left in the manga, but it did leave a hint for a hopeful second season.
