I LIK3 TH@N BOTH 3QUAL $OM3 TIM3$ I W@T

I like both, but the TV series doesn't tell all of the original story, like Sailor Moon for example, ALOT was chopped from the original. I was blown away when I got the manga O_O

i think i will go 4 manga... sumtimes anime dint tell da original storyline eg. fruits basket...

manga is better because it tells you all of the story but anime is good aswell

It's very hard to say, manga you have the whole story...but in anime you can see the chraters move and speak...just like both ^_^

I like both very much, but I'd prefer manga.. if I could afford it. Manga at least gets the whole storey in while anime just skips over some important details.

i say if you a true fan of anime...you'd like both....besides didnt you guys know that manga is just the name for comic in japanese so its no diff to anime sept a bit different in view..(Chaz gives everyone the look that saukes has...)

I like both. It is good to see it animated but they always cut a lot of stuff that is on the manga.

Yeah, much like the ill fated comic book, much of the back story or sub-plots get excluded from the anime version.
And if you live in the States much of it's mature content gets censored as well. Which explains why so many here (in the States) views them as cartoons.

Funny story about my experience with manga.
Before I knew what the word "No" was translated, I thought the caractors were just yelling for some random reson.

i like manga better cuz it comes out faster most of the time.

well i guess i like manga since it's usually the original and plus when they make the anime, they change stuff sometimes ( ex. FMA ) and also they make the art look all different and weird O.o ( ex. Full moon wo sagashite )

manga. probably only because im a comic nerd and cant resist any kind of drawing, but manga, defenitely.

I like both but usually the anime doesn't tell the background story and cuts out so much of the original story( f.ex Mirage of Blaze)
On the brigt side the anime usually offers a nicer drawing style ( f.ex Get Backers) and it's usualy the best way to get someone into the anime/manga world.( I'm sure of that many girls world wide got introduced to anime by watching Sailor Moon on tv as kids)
Most of the time the producers use the anime as a teaser to get more fans to read the manga.

I can't really choose, because they're both just so awesome. sometimes i like anime cuz u can actually hear them talk and manga cuz it's the actual story

i say manga cause i understand things more clearly when reading but i like anime better because the graphics are better.

I'd probablly say manga coz not only does it cost less but its easier to draw n the hair colours make more sense. i like anime 2 tho. spesh da movies.

What IS the difference?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Never mind

both are good it depends on what you like to what u choose

You really have to liek both, because there usually diffrent stories.

And just so everyone knows, usually cause they have restriction like a number of episodes. In the case of FMA, the story is mostly the same up till half, then it completely separates caus ethe anime was ahead of the manga, way ahead. I have to say, they did a great job in the anime.


..also, I did not know this, but in anime, they draw the anime first then they record the voices. You'd think they do it the other way around.

i like manga better but i do like both. ^_^

I like both in equal measure it ust depends on my mood to whether i`ll watch something or read or even both

i like anime and manga the same

Im probably the only one, but this confuses me to no end. Probably because Manga is also the name of a film company that releases anime; Perfect Blue, Devil Man, etc. I am assuming, when everyone talks about Manga, they are talking about animated books. So, I will say I like anime better because you can get information so much faster from movies than a book. Then again you retain more information you read than you see. However, U can read a book once and that's it, anime has so much more long term value.
