Hmm, I got up on my soap box with this thread last time, and it looks like I get to do it again. Hooray!
I prefer... manga! Why, you ask? Well, as an artist, I can appriciate the time, blood, sweat and tears put onto a single page of a manga; if you haven't noticed, they take a horrendously long time to do if you're going to do them with the best craftsmanship you can muster. A single page of an action manga like Naruto, in all of its artistic glory, beats the hell out of any crappy CG-fillers that we have become accustomed to in anime. Plus, I like to read, if that really counts for anything.
Bottom line? Manga rules.

(insert what chakrabat said here, just maybe with not as much passion) XD
Hehe, actually, I really do prefer manga for the most part, because the drawings are just amazing. I admire these artists who break their backs trying to make a good manga. And besides, manga are portable. ^-^
Though there are some animes I prefer to watch rather than read.

I prefer Anime, because I like hearing and seeing, instead of just reading. Also I don't really like non-moving fight scenes, there is only so much that you can put on paper for fighting.

o_o I myself is also an Anime kind of person.
I tried reading some manga, the only one I actually finished was Love Hina Manga...but I think my eyes will get tired while reading, I do enough reading at school and stuff lol, I think it's because I am lazy that I don't watch Manga

Manga shows you what will happen in the next episodes.
Anime gives u details about fights.

Manga, it's the original...nothing added, nothing taken away, it's plain, simple, black and white (most of the time)

You can really appreciate the story if it's animated with effects, etc.

Deffinetly Manga; easy to carry, cheaper, and no people trying to peek at your laptop to see what are you watching

. Plus, I'm a readaholic, so manga's the stuff for me.

I would argee with chakrabat. I takes hard work to make manga, and I appreciate kishimoto for that. Plus I'm not that good at downloading anime. I takes too long. I need something to speed it up. Got any ideas. I have java installed but I dont know how to use it.

I like both evenly. In the anime, you get to watch the story play out, and with manga, you get the full heads up way before the anime.

I like both. Just depends on the anime/manga.
Hellsing, I like the Manga better.
Utena I like Anime better.
Naruto both are even.

anime for me because it's easier to store anime. but i love manga, because it's just so classic. for me, both.

Manga is superior to anime. I personally like to fill in the voices and even the actions with my own imagination. Furthermore, you can experience so much more manga than you can anime in one half-hour sitting.

May 23 2005, 05:22 PM
both are ok for me

but manga shows more originality though

its what you say,the root of the anime,because it all starts from the papers isnt it?though if i can only choose one,i would pick manga

Well I like them both, each for different reasons.
I like anime because like everyone else you can see what's going on. I like manga because there the original thing and most of the time the anime has to change or leave parts out, so in those cases I don't mind reading the mangas.

sound (off course) and complete action (in manga we wont see all action we just see some) for anime

I choose anime. Manga has some images that can be just amazing and could never be captured in an anime. But anime has music and that can make all the difference. For instance I love the soundtrack of Samurai Champloo, it just makes the anime even better. It feels like the series doesn't have as much emotion when I'm reading the silent manga.

Well I like manga better because it has better story usually more detailed and also is less "censored" than the anime, But I must say being able to see the Naruto vs. Sasuke fight in the anime was just incredible ^^

Jun 24 2005, 03:01 PM
i prefer manga because its just amazing how well drawn some pages are and its easy to stare at those pages in awe and say wow also its cheaper and usually the original story but i like to go back and see it animated as well to see what its like
Hyato
Jun 24 2005, 07:45 PM
Both...but I would choose manga because I find more blood is in the manga than anime...and more cursing...
