Manga or anime????????? - Page 2

tigeress02 · October 14th, 2010, 10:12 PM

Primarily anime for me, but if I really like the series, I'll probably check out the manga to see what kind of differences there are.

anime, since its a lot easier to watch via rental DVD or watch online.. Also, I just have always liked watching anime, plus I got tired of the kids at my school always saying how much better mangas were than the mangas.. mangas also get expensive or take forever to load one page at a time online.. plus if I'm reading I usually read a non-manga book since I have a ton that I own but havn't read..

Anime! Gotta love those moving pictures!

Anime unless it's done extremely poorly.

i prefer anime.
however if the anime left out a TON of stuff (berzerk/gantz/battle angel) then i will pick up the manga.

I prefer anime, but there are some poor anime adaptations where I prefer the original manga.

These days I find it easier to get into manga, as it's cheaper and faster to read through than anime. It's still not by a wide margin, however.

Anime right at the moment. It's harder to convince myself I can spend my spare time with a manga than it is to sit down to an anime. I can multi-task when I watch anime

Let my rephrase my earlier post, I usually prefer manga than anime but there is titles where I like the anime more.

Scandiadream · October 17th, 2010, 08:53 AM

Depends on the specific series. Usually, the manga comes first and is often better. But there are exceptions to both of these rules. For example, I like the Scrapped Princess anime better than the manga- and the anime came first. Ditto for Escaflowne- I love the anime but could not get into the manga. And while the Angelic Layer manga came first, I like the anime better as well. When it comes to my top favorite series, such as MKR, ROV, and SM, I do prefer the manga.

I prefer anime because it's in full color.

In general I like animeation more than comics.

DazzleKitty · October 17th, 2010, 09:12 PM

I can't pick just one. I like them both. And it really depends on the title.

It depends on whether I am in the mood to watch something or read something.

I prefer anime over manga mainly because I've always been much more of a visual person. I also like for characters to come to life in animation rather than still pictures in manga. Anime music is a plus for me too.

I also enjoy reading manga as more often than not the stories are better told over their anime counterparts. It's good to just pick up a manga and just read it to emerse myself into the story and use my imagination.
