It really depends: I personally like manga better for various reasons: 1) I prefer 'still' pictures 2) Drawing manga is easier than creating anime 3) Reading manga is far quicker than watching anime, so I waste less time 4) Many anime titles are derived from manga, so I'd rather read the original stuff than to read it the 'butchered' anime version (i.e fillers, not-so-great artworks).

On the other hand, I like the anime for the following: 1) Great action scenes and music score with it accompanied with it 2) Anime that originally started with the 'anime' version (e.g. Cowboy Bebop) 3) Beautiful animated artwork

Of course, what I've stated is just "in general" and just my opinion. ^_^

Hmmm this is tough!
I really like manga cause you get to read and re read and get to see the images in still and to see the artwork close up, and the stories are great too. i like anime cause if the story and animation are good you get realy into it. I think they are both really good and when, in the same anime, you have a slight change in the storyline then it makes it even better and they compliment eachother so you get a better idea of things!

Anime. Manga requires reading (which I don't like lol).

But honestly I never gave it any thought to pick up a manga and read it. Hmm...

It really depends on anime / manga, but usually I choose manga.

Like harina said, it depends on the series in question. ^_^ I like both, so if it's something I really liked, I'll buy the anime and the manga. But, anime is expensive, so my manga collection is way bigger than my anime collection.


The choice has been made. There's no looking back. I won't let up, back up, give up, or shut up. My focus clear. My path is straight. My God, reliable. I'm a disciple of Christ.

Gods plan is like the sun. its too big and bright to look at directly, and sometimes the rain clouds cover it, but sometimes the plan dapples through the clouds and we can see beautiful glimpses of what he has in store for us.

It totally depnds on who you are and what you like. I personally like manga more for many reasons. 1) Cheaper. I don't have 25 bucks to fork over for 4 episodes of a drawn out anime. 2) I have younger siblings who are around, and I have more freedom in what I read because they wont' read it. When I'm watching something, they are pretty much hanging around. If I buy anime, it has to be something a nine year old could see, but as far as manga goes-- it's really just restricted by what I myself feel I can read. 3) I can look through a manga in a book store to decide if I want to buy it. I can't do this with anime. Also, there are some mangas I would never buy, but I would read in a book store. Since our Blockbuster only stocks the "you need an I.D. to rent this title" anime-- I don't have the option to watch anime I'm not willing to buy.

That's why manga is just more practical for me.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

My job requires a great deal of reading so when I get home I would rather put the DVD in and watch. True, if I do watch an anime in subtitled format I have to read, but I do a lot of dub watching.

Manga! manga! Manga!

Anime comes close.

With anime their are time constraints
With manga you give your imagination time to percolate...

i like anime better... this isn't always the case, but in general it seems like the anime is more detailed than manga... but not always

I like both. What I don't like is when they botch an anime and make it completely different from the manga. I really like anime for the action sequences, if it has worthwhile art, music, and you can hear the people talk! xD

Manga, I can see it in my head. I like manga because it comes straight from the creator. Not other people. *cough*rurounikenshin*cough* I like the artwork in it. *sigh*

I like both. Is that allowable? o.o
