What are some adaptations with huge disparities in quality between the source and the anime? (ani.social)

This question straddles all three of anime, manga, and light novels, so I figured I'd just drop it in the anime community first. Though if it doesn't belong here, feel free to delete it and I'll go somewhere else.

I've only been watching anime for a few years. This year, I've started reading manga and LN of some anime I've seen. There are a few titles where I feel like the anime adaptation was just as good and there are some where I feel like it was better. Fortunately, I haven't encountered any cases where I think the anime completely dropped the ball, but I know there probably are some like that.

What are some titles that have huge disparities in quality between its anime adaptation and the source?

I haven't gotten around to reading the Nagato Yuki-chan manga yet, though it is on my list of stuff to check out.

I watched it immediately after watching the entire Haruhi series for the first time, which is probably a mistake - they are two completely different types of shows that just happen to take place in the same universe. Maybe for the first 8-9 episodes (whenever the black and white episode happens) I wasn't in the right mindset to properly enjoy the laid back slice of life type that was Nagato Yuki-chan. Also, I couldn't stop comparing the art style and animation to the KyoAni series, which is naturally going to be an unfair comparison lol.
