Im a long time anime fan and i just started getting into manga, i like them both and cant decide wich one is better. The problem is after i read the manga, it ruins the anime, and when i watch the anime first, it ruins the manga. I want to know what u think is better, anime or manga. If u cant decide, which one should be seen first then?
in my opinion i think manga then anime the manga has "more" of the story and the anime sometimes has "blanks" and "jumps" in it and if you have read the manga first you'll have a better understanding of the story and etc.
ex: one piece manga started with the story of luffy's childhood and the reasoning for his pirate adventure but in the anime the drop yah right in a fight with fat alvida but dosn't explain luffy's childhood until ep 4 and it also leaves out how he got the scar on his face...
the mangas that i've read seem to be better paced when compared to the animes of them.
The only one so far thats better than the manga is Full Metal Alchemist, it's added some good things to it that help the plot, and dont just seem like fillers.
it depands, in some cases, the Manga is just so shallow and easy to understand, and then the anime just brings out those qualities, for example: Magic Knight Rayearth, Ranma (the parts of the manga they did animate), some of Rurouni Kenshin (expect the parts they tuned down the gore and the filler arc).
but in most cases, the plot is too deep or has too many talk scenes, then the manga is better, cuase it focuses you on the story and not on something else.
of course, it dependas on how good the Manga\Anime is..

Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Colorful, moving pictures, thats really what makes it better, the only one thing about manga that is better is the fact that it is the complete original ofcourse, but me loves anime so

Anime is better ofcourse...
but sometimes its really fun to read the manga! ^^ but I didnt try to read it from a real book.. just scanned manga.. I think its more fun to buy a real manga book XD lol..
what about both.. It's almost 2 different things. The manga is really nice to read and if you got like all the volumes then it can be really full of tension and not alot of flashbacks more straight to the point story wise. But it's also really nice to see a good manga turn into a anime aswell.. Especially if there are fighting or flying or whatever involved. But the anime sometimes gets some other stuff put in and some things taken away and so on. But it's mostly pretty damn good.
Anime indeed...
i think reading the manga is cooler cuz once u read it u just cant wait too see how the anime is gonna turn out.its real fun, when i read naruto and when i saw the anime i was drolling
so both are good
Hm.. kinda hard to say. The manga usually is more straight-forward and the anime is kinda 'filler' (sometimes a whole episode is just filled with talking/flashbacks, boring stuff usually). However, the manga itself can just be a little dull compared to the colors/sounds/ACTION in the anime. Soooo... I'd have to say ANIME. Manga's still cool, though.

anime is definitely better. the voices make it so much better.
I like reading manga alot but in the end I have to say I enjoy the anime just a tiny little bit more.
only a fool would enjoy anime more than manga. the simpleness and pure enjoyment of manga beats the crap out of anime. and the manga is always better than the animated series. i have never encountered a series thats worse in manga than anime. ill give you an example on why manga is better than anime. in the recent naruto episodes the art has been very poor. i dont know why but i imagine they are lazy and dont want too work hard enough on characters like Kurenai and Asuma for example.
