Hello everyone!
My post for you is anime vs. manga. Which is better and why? Does it depend on the show? Can't wait for your answers! heart

I prefer manga because many stories that I like in manga form would never get an anime, or probably even an OVA. There is a lot more out there for both quantity and quality. Also, it's how the author originally has the story before the anime studio could mess it up (Like the original FMA).

it depends on the show, usually (but not always) whichever version is the original is better. but then there are cases where whichever came first was more of a prototype and the next one a more polished product. there's also cases where there's an anime and a manga but the original was neither of those, but instead a novel or game or something; in a case like that the anime adaption or manga adaption, or even both, could wind up pretty crappy.

I like both, but for story wise I usually get the manga.

xxxxDepends on the series. But about 90% of the time I like manga better.

Nobuta-San

you do realize in some cases when a manga gets an anime adaption before it's done it's not uncommon for the mangaka to have a say in how the adaption goes once it deviates from the manga plot. sometimes they're even involved in writing the episodes after it deviates, too. also, since not every anime is based on a manga it's not fair to phrase it as if all anime comes from a manga. heck, sometimes not even the manga is the original.

Anime. Because when the anime is based off the Manga it is just as epic besides you actually hear the characters and see them move. Not just a different pose each pic. Also you get to see them in color haha. And I can understand there personalities better when I hear them instead of reading.

Manga most of the time. I have a preference for reading more than watching.

manga. because some situations in manga arent shown in anime. more like its the original.
anime. because there's some extra parts not shown in manga.
