| How much experience do you have with anime and manga? Which one do you like better and most importantly why? I personally like anime more and I think the main reason for that is I feel like it sets an atmosphere and becomes engaging more easily to me, mainly because of the music, but I have small experience with manga and actually anime too. Please Discuss! :) |
| I've been watching anime for 6 years now and been reading manga since one. To me some manga can be really enjoyable, even more than watching anime since there are a lot of shows that suck. I like both so much. Sometimes I prefer to watch anime, but sometimes I can't get enough of manga. it really depends on my mood and what I'm up to Can't go without them in any way |
| When I'm fucked up that's the real me |
| Well I haven't read that much Manga but I find it being more effective when trying to pull in person into the series |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| Anime is definitely the superior medium. The thing is - many adaptations aren't that good which may give a false impression. But I will take anime original over manga original any day. |
 |
| Anime all the way, I like animation and sound... |
 |
| I like them both equally tbh |
| This is in the Anime discussion board so I'm not going to cry about the 10-0. |
 |
| I have been watching anime far longer than I have been reading manga and I enjoy anime more but the only reason for that is that I don't enjoy reading on my monitor or any kind of display thing. If I could buy manga in my country I would probably read more manga than watching anime. It's just matter of availability and convenience for me. |

| I've watched about 1950 anime and read 50 manga(near 100 if you count manga I'm reading that are pretty long) and I think anime is the best. It just appeals to our senses more and the top anime I've seen > the top manga I've read. Animation, color, soundtrack, voices, etc are all things that the anime has that the manga doesn't that improves the scenes greatly if done correctly. It's like comparing an orchestra with dozens of members to a soloist. Both at their best the orchestra is still better. |

| I watched more anime, than I read manga, but I prefer/think Manga is a lot better. There are many reasons I posted before, but I can't find right now, and can't be bothered to write them again. |
 |
| Anime has more creative potential but is currently being locked by the stagnant desires of narrow-minded otaku, censorship, and capitalism. Manga is better as of now because there's simply more artistic freedom in it. |
  |
| Anime by far. |
 |
| Personally I like both about the same but I have noticed that some anime base doff manga is nowhere near as good in places as the manga that they are based off and that the manga are better |
| According to my stats, anime dominates more. So yeah I prefer animation more. |
| Anime. I don't read much manga. |
| I prefer anime. Although there are many cases where the anime is inferior to it's manga counterpart. |
 |
| Prefer anime, I do liketo read a manga every now or then...but that's normally series i've already watched the anime of and enjoyed |
 |
| Anime, I'm not really into reading. Voted for Manga by mistake lol. |

| I like both. But if the anime is a manga adaptation, then your most of the time better of with the manga. |
| My order of preference is anime>VN>LN>manga. I don't like reading comics most of the time. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| Anime, I love seeing big boobs jiggle. |
 |
| I only read a few manga titles but I can say that Manga > Anime |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |
| even though my list suggests I pretty much just watch anime, I am finding due to life limiting my anime watching lately, I have found myself getting into and reading so much more manga, as I can pop it on my kindle and read while at work in breaks and dinners and such, and I can sit on the sofa with it when I get a spare minute.... but tbh if I had the time I probably would go back to animation! |
| I prefer watching animes over mangas, though I read a new manga every now and then but that's usually during school. |
 |
| For most of the time, i prefer anime than manga since anime are far more relaxing.. |
Reality is the lifeblood that makes a work pulse with energy. Reality itself is entertainment  |

| I've been trying to get into manga for a while, but I still find it a little bit exhausting to read for long periods of time, whereas marathoning anime is never a problem for me. So at the moment I definitely prefer anime but I imagine it might change in the future, when I finally get used to manga for real. Manga seems pretty interesting, with more mature and complex themes overall. |
| Anime is more fun when you get to watch the show! but i do like manga also ^^ |

| I prefer Anime but it's purely because I started with watching and tried avoiding Manga. Too lazy to read >< |

| They're about equal for me, I would say. |
| Manga has better quality art and isn't censored. Need that Baki and Claymore remake :( |
 |
| Anime for obvious reasons, though that's not to say that Manga do not have their merits, else I wouldn't read them. |
 |
| I love seiyuu so I take Anime but at time I would sit and read some Manga. |
| I voted for anime, but it truly depends on which I started. I prefer anime since most of the time I'll only watch the anime when the anime has a manga as well. However, I absolutely love shoujo manga as well. |
| Lol, if you look at my profile you can see which I prefer: anime: Time (Days) 98.5 Watching 19 Completed 236 On Hold 3 Dropped 0 Plan to Watch 122 Total Entries 380 Manga: Time (Days) 0.0 Reading 0 Completed 0 On Hold 0 Dropped 0 Plan to Read 0 Total Entries 0 |

| Honestly, I like both equally. I've been watching anime since I was a kid (yanno, Inuyasha, Akira, DBZ) but I didn't seriously get into it till I was around 13-14. I started reading manga about 2 years ago. Both has upsides and downsides. Sometimes the animations in animes are shit, but sometimes I can't get into the action in manga. |
 |
| Anime for short plots; Manga and LNs for long |
