Which is better: Anime or Manga?

Shinta · 08-08-2007, 10:10 AM

Which do you prefer: Anime or Manga? If you can mention the reason please do. I'll start: I prefer anime because it's more alive, and I get more of a feeling of actually being there.

I like reading manga, but I have only read a couple mangas. =p So I have to go with anime since I have watched far more anime series.

mlavx · 08-08-2007, 11:47 AM

well, there are stories where I REALLY prefer reading the manga over the watching the anime such as Ichigo100% and Love Hina as examples
but on the other side, there are anime, which are really good, but that doesn't have a manga

but if I would have to choose between manga and anime in general, I would go for manga. Probably because I like sitting with a book or something like that

I prefer anime like you said it's more alive and I think fight scenes are more exciting when its animated as well as romance being more passionate

anime got my vote cause i'm an anime fan,i read some mangas but i never finished them and i don't have the time ...

bee-happee · 08-08-2007, 03:43 PM

well, i'm the first person who thought they're equally good...
reason why manga's good: cause sometimes the anime doesn't explain things properly while the manga does. +also there's no fillers.
reason why anime's good: cause you can hear their voices and the pictures are moving instead... and it's also better in action cases. =)

i preffer animes, because you could see all the action and fighting not only stale pics like the manga try to illustrate.

I said equally good because I honestly can't decide.

On one hand, I like a lot of manga series better than their anime adaptations, but watching anime is fun as well (as evident by the fact that I've got so much of it on my computer that it's slowing down...lol). I like to read the manga and then see how they adapted it into an anime. Sometimes that leads to disappointment, but sometimes I love it. :3

I think that both are amazing because they have their own good and bad side. And sometime manga show more thing than the anime does.
