i'm so stupid

[Junichiro]

i feel so stupid. i started out with the anime, and like the anime better then the manga. a few weeks ago i read up to last finnished volume. i now know what will happen and it seems like it is taking forever to get to where i stopped. it also makes watching the anime less interesting since i know what will happen. the only thing i will tell everyione is that if you like the anime better never read the manga since it further along. now thast i know how far ahead the manga is from the anime a can pedict that there will be around 2 fillers in the next 6 episodes.

[japanaman]

that is the main reason i dont read the manga, it ruins the anime, but both my roomates do so i do catch bits and peices of the manga. Grrrrr....

[Aeon]

Well you just reassured me that I'm never reading the manga.

[Mongoose]

There aren't any "fillers", because the anime is following the manga faithfully. There haven't been any episodes that went into side stories or anything; this is almost exactly how the manga plays out. The manga doesn't always move fast, though, and there's not always a lot of action in every chapter, so I suppose people get antsy. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Even though I know what's going to happen, it's still fun to see the story with actual moving pictures and color, but yes, if you read the manga, you'll be anticipating the next chapter for stories that the anime won't get to for a year, at least. Does take away the suspense of the episodes.

the manga is 300 times better than the anime, its great to read the manga, for all those that are uncertain about the manga read up to the point the anime is now around chapter 155 or so and you will notice that the manga is 300 times better.

[kilzo]

Yeah, around 155 and up is where it really gets intense, which would be maybe around 4-5 episodes from now?

IMO reading the manga then knowing whats going to happen in the anime doesnt stop me from wanting to see the anime bad, im more excited in seeing whats going to happen in the next few episodes because it going to be good for the animation and how he brings it all together. Reading the manga, i believe, doesnt ruin the story or anime one bit. (BTW: i cant wait for whats happening in the manga, but the anime's going to have some sick stuff coming up.)

reading manga is 300 times better than anime? i really don't think so. i'd rather watch characters move, have voice actors and music than reading a comic. music is the biggest factor. example, the 3rd's death. the music made that episode pretty sad but if i read it i doubt i'd have the same feeling. manga might be your preference but it definately isn't mine and probably a lot of other peoples'

[PSJ]

its much more sad reading it, since he was dying for 10 eps it really took the sadness away. the manga is more emotional than the anime to me. and besides if you got some kind of imagination you can almost hear the characters say the things you read. also you dont need to sit through the god damn fuckin filler shit. things like that takes most emotions out of the anime. but i guess thats what its there for since the anime is originally for kids who cant read the manga...

[Mongoose]

Eh, I enjoy the anime just as much. It drags on sometimes because the stuff that gets glossed over in the manga on a single page has to be played out, but the manga's got nothing on the anime for the fight scenes.

[z0diac]

I havent read the manga and i dont plan to, but i doubt its 300 times better, maybe 183 times better. Yeah thats more like it ^_^

btw, the anime kicks the manga's ass if only because... THE MUSIC KICKS ASS [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
I cant imagine the fight scenes or the intense moments in Naruto without certain toons. The music just makes it all so much better.

[PSJ]

the only thing the anime is better at is fight scenes, the other things is much better in the manga you cant argue about this cause the manga is better, if you dont think so you are wrong.

[Mut]

reading the manga beforehand makes watching the anime so much more fun. i don't know what you're talking about.

Uh, yeah, who am I to dispute a rock-solid argument like that? [img]i/expressions/rolleye.gif[/img]

[Masamune]

i have to agree with (hakuna?) mut@t@, having read the manga i enjoy the anime even more

yea its the best arguement ever [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] no seriously the manga got so much more feel to it. i like manga more than anime in general, to me the manga is always better than the anime. i thought this was rather common but i guess i was wrong.

[Pyron]

no one is right or wrong...its all preference. you like manga? fine...i like anime...fine. there's no real right answer...
whichever form of Naruto you like you might as well stick with it

[PSJ]

yea i know i wa just goofing around since i didnt have anythign to do.

[L8r]

but the best part off reading the manga is when you go to the anime section and they ask some shit and you know the answer.... and they all start to guess what gonna happen next [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
i just find that funny [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

and if you read the manga and watch the anime you just have 2 diffrent naruto things to look forward to [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

but like Pyron said

whichever form of Naruto you like you might as well stick with it

[tensai]

im not a manga reader, but i have read the first volume of naruto when i was at a book store
it was pretty cool
i just like reading it afterwards to see the similarities and differences/ what they added in the anime and changed, thats all
i dont want to spoil myself by reading the parts that the anime havent reached yet because i would just be watchin the anime to see the animation

but, theres always that temptation

(comparison) in a sense, its like lord of the rings, people whove read it want to see how it would look like, and people whove watched the movie went out and bought the books

[DeluxSkillz]

the manga is better even the fight scenes, though not in motion the detail put into the drawings of the manga far surpasses the drawings in the anime a lot of eps the characters just look wrong, the original is always best and since almost every anime is animated from the "blueprint"(manga) it's obvious which is better but just watching it all animated gives a good feeling so i'd say read the manga it'll do you good you will not have to wait months to finally know what's actually going on right now, take your chance the naruto manga is so easy to download pick it up and read it the coming arc is action packed and i pity the people who only watch the anime and have to wait for what's coming
