Episode 1
Quite different from the novel. At the moment, it'd be simpler to say that only about four scenes/concepts were kept from the novel. The dialogue itself changed. My initial impression of the episode was "Whoa. This feels different, yet somewhat similar."
Overall, I feel the general characteristics of that characters were kept (with one big exception, but I'm not spoiling that in an anime thread). Everyone sounds as I expected them to. Would've liked more Nibutani (and one scene specifically), but what can I say? I enjoyed it, though I'd have to re-watch it once it becomes more comfortable and natural to me to offer a better opinion.
This is definitely a KyoAni original series. Outside of characteristics, it's original to Ishihara/Hanada in my eyes.
