page 1 of 3

If this has been done or is up now let me know.
I was thinking how I like the Chobits manga more than the anime,but I like the DBZ anime alot more than the manga,so what series is this like for you?

ooo yea i prefer most anime to manga,

some reason i cant get into manga's too much effort to read lmao :P

yea...i like it when theres an anime for a series...but its only if it follows the manga (Fushigi Yugi) and doesn't have bad artwork (Fruits Basket)

I usually like better the original one (CCS manga, Rah-Xephon anime, Naruto manga..), one of the exception being Fruits Basket.

No I mean for a certain series do you really prefer one to the other.

Tough call. For example the Animes for Spriggan & Guyver are excellent but the Mangas are far more involved. I say it all depends on the series.

I usually like the manga over the anime version because its usually has a more thought out story (with more sharacter development). Plus for some its more extreme like Ikkitousen and Tenjho Tenge.

Very hard to say, and comparing the two, you must consider which one you read/watched first. If i watch the anime first and then read the manga, the two are on the same level. However, if i read the manga first and then watch it, i would always be uncomfortable at how many parts were left out. So to improve my views towards both, i would watch the anime and then read it, if it is possible at the time.

Yes but it's not always possible,plus there is always at least one or to ep. that are not in the manga.But on a similar note some anime or manga for that matter are nothing like the other,like FMP they pretty much split that in to two anime series FMP and Fumofu.

i don't prefer either one over the other. i like watching a series and reading the manga or vice versa because its cool to see how they put the story onto the TV or what was left out from the series when you read the manga.

Quote by NinjaCloudNo I mean for a certain series do you really prefer one to the other.

... I have read more than 200 different manga series and watched more than 50 series... a bit hard to remember them all.

Oh another one that I like better the anime version is Saint Seya, especially the Asgard part.

Chobits : manga (anime is a little too boring with two recaps eps)

some of this and some of that its debond on the story or anime/manga about :)

Depends on what I'm dealing with, in the case of movies such as Akira, the Manga hands-down. Although examples such as Tenchi Muyo require extended reading into the anime series, the True Tenchi Novels, and the Manga for the full experience.

It depends on which anime or manga.
Also depends on the art.
I like the Pita-Ten manga better then da anime.
So, it reall all depends on what kind of like that stuff....

Cya!!~

I usually prefer the manga to the anime. But for some series like Cowboy Bebop where the anime came first, then I prefer the anime.

Both XD

I prefer mangas because the story is oten better thank the one in the anime^^!

Usually, I like the manga better. Most of the time, the manga came first, and when they get converted into the anime, it usually gets heavily edited for the worse. (ex. Pita-Ten) Not to mention, the pics are usually better drawn in the manga.

I prefer original format the most, if the anime follows the manga then I don’t have any problems with it. If not it would be like the Dragon ball and Naruto series where they are padded with so much lame fullers that I ended up disliking the series.

Anime suffer storyline wise and visually compared to their manga counterparts, so generally I prefer the manga. Of course, there are exceptions like Ai Yori Aoshi looking a lot better in anime format then manga but these are few and far between. Story telling suffers due to heavy filler, flashbacks, recap episodes, and other stupid ways of dragging out a series that kills the pacing. That, and shows that catch up to the manga and then end up having original episodes created that are far inferior to anything the mangaka comes up with.

i prefer anime to manga

Not long ago I picked up both the anime and manga for Midori No Hibi,and I must say they are both pretty good.I'm not sure yet if I like one more than the other though.I mean how can you judge a series as a whole by only viewing one volume of either vesion.

Both prefer most anime to mang

I would say that most anime series that I watched that are based on the manga are always not as good as the source material.

A lot of times it because the manga itself is a work-in-progress which is not completed and hence you end up with a series that is filled with recaps and fillers like the above-mentioned Naruto or worse unfinished like Tenjo Tenge.

Sometimes a lot of things need to be left out from the anime for the purpose of ratings and censorship and the like. Prime example is City Hunter where Ryo's erection was a constant source of ROTFL moments but was taken out from the anime completely for obvious reason.

The only anime that I can think of that was better than the original source material is Patlabor. The manga was an average series but it really roxs with the TV series, the OVA and the movies (all 3 of them!) And apart from the Grieffon story arc, a lot of what eventually went into the anime did not come from manga. So adapations (when done properly) can work.

As for anime-turn-manga, thats a different thing. If you enjoyed tha anime, then chances are you will like the manga cos the creator will usually add more info into the manga. eg Evangelion and the gundam series of mangas.

But the trend I see now is a multi-media approach, where you see the manga, the games, the animes and the novels released almost simultaneously. Eg. Full Metal Alchemist.
