Number one for me would probably be Fate/Zero.
Though there's plenty of novel ads I like.

From the ones I've actually read the source novels for, I'd go with The Devil is a Part-Timer!.

Though it F*CKED UP one very important scene to me, I have to go with Kami-sama No Inai Nichiyoubi

Hataraku Maou-sama is great...........but there's too much of goddamn Chiyo in the anime and she really annoys me. XD

Oregairu. Novel goes more in-depth than the anime, but the adaptation still does a stellar job at highlighting the greatness that Hachiman & Co. have to offer.

It’s novel!?
I didn’t know that.


Yeah. I found out using one of those user scripts that allows you to filter list you watched by source and I noticed LoTGH was there.

Had to double check the anime page even just to make sure and the source did say "Novel". I thought it was an original all along.

I read the novel after seeing the anime, but I still think No Game No Life was a good adaption.

Technically Gankutsuou is adapted from a novel.
So that.

I just realized there isn’t a sorting option for source material…
This is kind of inconvenient.


If you have something like Tampermonkey, download this script:

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/18920-myanimelist-mal-your-own-seasonal-animelist

Then go to seasonal anime > your list and you should be able to filter by source.

Haven't read any light novel but my favorite one based on a novel would be KonoSuba and No Game No Life.

Haganai. I like the anime more than the novel because Sena's bitchiness is toned down in the anime compared to the novel, and it also skips on adapting a pointless chapter that goes nowhere. The anime rearranges some events, but that doesn't really affect the story.

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? I like the anime more because it skips a pointless fight between Ayumu and Ariel, which happened because Ariel believed someone who was lying and didn't believe someone who was telling the truth. Though, I don't like how Seraphim is more of a bitch in the anime than in the novel, the complete opposite of Sena in the Haganai anime/novel. Other than that, the anime is just like the novel.

I like KonoSuba too. The anime and novel are equally good, so I can't really say if one is better than the other, but I can say the anime is faithful to the novel.

Baccano and durarara. Too bad baccano had to flop in japan (no second season) because japan prefers those garbage harem/ecchi/isekai light novel adaptations.
