I'm behind the anime, but it's always shame when they don't follow the manga and skip lots of stuff. Japanese community overall wants anime to differ from manga, so that they have something new to see, but every other community wants it to follow strictly the manga. Tokyo Ghoul packed 80 chapters in 12 eps, by skipping and changing tons of stuff. And it's 2nd season seems to be entirely original story by the mangaka himself. That's kind of annoying, since reboot for such series won't happen, unless they are FMA-big. Terra Formars messed up the story moments, by showing lots of stuff as flashbacks, instead of show them in chronologically in the manga. And the anime story feels hard to follow and understand. They also failed to animate the action properly. I mean it's an action manga, if you insist on adapting it, you should know it will need lots of action sequences. Yet they made more face closeups and screenshots before and after an attack and that was their action. There is almost no action animation and the OVA is 10x better made than the TV. It kinda makes you wonder why studios adapt 12-26 anime with original/alternate story, but sometimes it's better than, than nothing (although if there is nothing, then there exist a small chance of someone doing it properly later...).

Yeah, spoiling the manga happens sometimes, mostly on long running anime or those with altered plot and/or original end. I think Zetman spoiled Zet's form. And I do remember that Reborn anime spoiled the boxer's animal ring being kangaroo, while the manga still didn't reveals it. I think I saw 1-2 other cases for other shows, but forgot which, it's usually small spoil, except for those who had original end and sometimes it requires to reveal something major to end the show.
