I can't choose at all, I like actually seeing the anime more because it is more detailed than manga but manga's are usually further ahead then the anime and how some originate, amazing ones like Naruto, the manga came out before the anime and is much further ahead than the anime. But this doesn't apply to all animes.

REALLY hard to choose! But, I decided to pick anime. It was REALLY hard deciding though!

Well, if this question came up about 5-6 years ago, I would've gone for anime myself.
Since I've been in Japan for a while now, I've become more of a "manga" person. In a lot of ways, you can get a better idea of the manga creator's true sense of the characters, motivations and the story. To be fair, whenever a popular manga is turned into an anime series, some of that sense is lost.

Another thing is that sometimes an anime series ends when there is still more story to be covered. For example, in Japan the Inuyasha TV series ended last September. This is around volume 36 of the manga, yet the comic is still continuing the story (right now it is around volume 40). The final episode was a disappointment because there were still things that were left unresolved.

I like Inuyasha. that was a good tv series. I also liked Tenshi Muyo.

Overall I like Anime more. Just because it has Dragonball/z/gt i love all the Dragonball z, gt, and dragonball episodes. I love the fight scenes and all the plots the story brings.

Aw what a hard question. I guess I would have to go with Manga. I like watching the animes but the end too quickly. And it really annoyed me when they changed Sailor moons voice to this annoying voice that sounds like she gargles all the time. Manga is expensive though sad.gif

Hmm... a Japanese comic book or a 30minute episode in color and high-performance art. Anime, not a hard choice at all tongue.gif Well, for me, anyways.

A hard choice for an anime/manga fanatic. But gotta stick to the foundation so I chose "manga"!

I've read so many manga and watched too many animes. But I would live with just ink and paper. Manga Forever. hehehehe.

As much as I enjoy Manga and wish some titles were adapted into Anime, I'm picking Anime. Reason? I like watching the very characters come to life in animation. Also, music, voice acting and everything else that complements Anime makes it a visually-enhanced experience.

Manga is much more accessible though. Also, in most cases, Anime tends to divert away from its original Manga counterpart.

That really is a hard one to choose from. At first... I really loved anime... and I still do as well, but after enjoying the anime series' so much, I decided to go and find the books that the shows were based on, and I completely fell in love with those. Now I probably have around 60 manga books here that I've bought. (Plus I love the store that I've been buying them from, because I can get them for the American cover price instead of paying the Canadian prices now, so I've been saving a lot of money from that.)

Though I own a bunch of anime series, I own many more manga books. Even of shows that I haven't even bought. (At first I was just buying the books to my favorite shows that I already owned, but I've gotten many others now as well - some that I haven't even watched the anime of yet lol.)

I also finding myself reading the manga books a lot more than actually watching the anime shows. Probably mostly because I find it more convenient to just pick up a book and start reading than I do to go and find an episode, load up the dvd, skip through all the menus and so on.

I do watch (and actually read a bit too) of my anime/manga online... Though I typically read more of it from actual books since I can take them anywhere, and when I'm watching shows online now, I tend to turn on the Japanese drama live action series rather than the anime, but I think a lot of that is because I'd already seen so much of the anime's out there that interested me, so I needed something new and fresh to look at.

So anyway, it's a tough call, but I'd have to say I like manga better, but just a teeny bit more wink.gif
