| Well i prefer to watch something instead of reading it. I was always good with reading but after all this years i've spent reading books i lost the interest in them so i prefer to watch something if i want to enjoy it.. |

One said: This threads appears atleast 2 times a month tbh.2nd time seeing this type of thread.... - Because anime has colors - Because it moves and talks - Because not all people enjoy reading Is it so hard to understand? But simply because anime requires you to do less and is generally easier to understand. Just try reading a manga with lots of fights in it, at times you'll be confused about what the hell just happened. Then go watch the fight in anime verison (if possible) and you'll suddenly realize just what happened so easily. That and anime got colors, music and VA! Regardless of how shitty/rushed the story is, people will probably still prefer it more overall for those 3 factors. |

| i prefer manga to anime because good stories are always coming out from mangas. it's pretty rare for an anime with the original story to be very good. but i do want my favorite mangas to be animated so if the story is the same i would prefer the anime version, maybe. |
| These threads appears atleast 2 a month, to be up front about it. But simply because people are sometimes wrong...it's just life. |

| i ike watching tv more than reading books and I carried it over to manga/anime. :] |
 |
| Lol becuz i can't read for shit,i'm retarded |
| As far as enjoyment goes for me, (light) novels> manga> anime. MAL is just a place where most peoples thinking the exact contrary of the above are gathering. It's not like it's a general opinion on the matter. |
 |
| I'll try to provide an answer without repeating what others before me have already said. This is just a small part of a blog I've written about anime versus manga. The main reason why I prefer anime over manga as a medium is because of the pivotal role imagination plays in any work of art, especially fiction. This is the most important in books, where the reader is given a lot of information, but is free to imagine anything that's not specifically written. While reading you imagine the characters and the world they're living in inside of your head, even hearing the voices you might find to suit the characters best after reading about their personality. Anime are on the other end of the spectrum. The viewer doesn't get the chance to imagine much else about the characters or the world because anime is a medium that puts much more importance on the visuals. Even the sound makes it impossible for viewers to think of a voice for specific characters. While this might seem like a negative aspect from a certain standpoint, it does allow the creators to tell the story completely like they want. Books and anime are two very different kinds of entertainment which give both sides, audience and creators, the chance to use their imagination to the fullest. Manga fall somewhere right in between these two and thus never achieve the same level of imagination utilized from either side. Both creator and audience are only challenged to use about half of their own imagination, while the other side takes care of the remaining fifty percent. Granted, there exist doujinshi that allow the fans to expand on the main story and use their own imagination while writing. However, these are of mostly dubious quality and they account only for a small part of the actual fanbase. |
| http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1468095&show=150#post186 http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1091079&show=0#post23 because it's a moving picture(animation) obviously. it even has a sound. |
 |
| Anime has people moving around, sound, bright colors... it just helps more of your senses get involved. Manga is for the weak. |
  |
| Manga isn't addicting enough for me. :P And you don't got music in manga. |
| The thing with anime, it is much easier to be involved in that certain medium. With all the streaming website, and accessibility to whole series though buying one BD, it is to start and maintain a hobby. Manga is expensive, especially in the west. Of course there are streaming website and torrents for them, however its satisfaction can not be compared to owning physical copies. Also, it's just preference. It is much easier to sit back and watch than to manually read and made up the scene with your imagination. |
  |
| For me: Manga are Black and White, which I ignore very hard. The only comic I read in continuity was Civil war which was in colour so I could enjoy the gradients and shading more and since Anime isn't Black and White and doesn't always use Kanji for its Sound Effects and the Music and VA's give an emotion that comics/manga don't have. The only compromise for me is Light Novels but when I say Light Novels I think A-1 pictures and The asterisk war. But ignoring that plain text is better suited to challenging its adapted counterpart. Short version: OP's, ED's, OST's and VA's make anime better than Manga but a straight up book might give anime a run for its money |
"I have respect for those who have lived a full life." - Decim (Death Parade) "I want to deliver your eulogy." - Otshepagetse  |
| i am read manga more often that watch anime, but people prefer anime over manga is very understable... anime is supperior medium compare to manga after all... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Anime is just easier to view and more exciting (paced action plus audio for zero effort), but I wouldnt say I prefer it 100% of the time, as manga (-and novel [yay, spice and wolf]) translations are usually further ahead of the Anime, more story but also depth, in most cases details from manga are simplifiied or reduced when transfered to anime format - I think Boku no Hero Acedemia is a great anime because it cover a lot of the source material even if it (or because it) slows the pace of the story advancement per episode, per manga chapter. Source material is better in some ways but less....-robust(?) and accessible than anime. Side Note: ...I'd rather have a new manga chapter for Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu released before the next episode, but damn if its gonna be 25eps in this season of course I'd prefer the anime even if I'd rather have it that the manga was already translated, instead of chrological order we got 5 chapters of the next arc translated goddamit. - and another thing - whats with all these seperate arc's "Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu: Dai-1 Shou - Outo no Ichinichi-hen, Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu: Dai-2 Shou - Yashiki no Isshuukan-hen, Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu: Dai-3 Shou - Truth of Zero" WHY NOT JUST ONE! - its Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei all over again and like hell am I gonna navigate that s***. |

| Because they like to read and watch manga pictures :3 |
"No matter what painful things happens, even when it looks like you'll lose... when no one else in the world believes in you... when you don't even believe in yourself... I will believe in you!" |
| I like both, but anime is just livelier with all the colors and actual movements. |
| In my case, I prefer anime because it gives movement, sound and color to the work, giving it life. Don't mean it's necessarily better than manga, however. |
 |
| Why would anyone prefer manga over anime ?! Manga = No colors, no movement, no voice. Just read bunch of texts with colorless drawing Anime = colors, movement, voice acting. When one punch man ended, I tried to read the manga but I stopped after few chapters. Anime is way more entertaining. Even if anime is badly adapted, it would be still more entertaining than reading manga. |
| Most manga are slower paced than the corresponding anime. Also, there's sound and color. But reading a physical copy is also nice. |
| I prefer anime because it simply has more to offer in nearly every aspect. |
| Cause you don't have to move your fingers watching anime(most of the time), and anime has sounds, colours and it's moving. By the way, sometimes original source does way better job. For examples, Berserk, One piece, Tokyo Ghoul and TLR. |
 |
| Watching anime is faster obviously and some people prefer watching than reading. Plus anime has music and sometimes awesome voice actors. |
| "It's not like I wanted a signature or anything...BAKA!" - A MAL user. |
| Because anime is simply better. Unlike books were imagination plays a huge role, manga already provides most visual material, so imagination plays a far lesser role. Anime therefore becomes an improvement on the ready-made visual material, adding colour, motion and sound. Actions are presented in better clarity, both voice acting and soundtrack make for greater emotional and comedic impact as well. In all those categories for enjoyment, anime is preferable. Till this day, the most I have seen anyone attempt to provide for why manga would be better are the ability to read faster, which is irrelevant for one taking their time to follow a series anyway. Also greater variety which is irrelevant because the comparison is between the same series in different formats. |

| I just think a lot more prefer watching than reading. Maybe not in Japan though. |
| Watching anime is much more entertaining than reading manga (well at least for me). That doesn't mean that I don't like reading manga. I love reading manga. The stories are usually better than the anime adaptation and they're usually ahead of the anime, which is why I like reading manga. However, with that being said, I like seeing the characters and the overall story come to life. I like hearing their voices, I like seeing the colors, the soundtracks, etc etc. Anime is much more entertaining than manga, but mangas are still satisfying as well. Usually with manga, I have to imagine the scenes, but with anime you don't really need to because they already show the scenes step by step. ya feel? RaginCajun said: Watching anime is faster obviously and some people prefer watching than reading. Umm I'm pretty sure reading the manga is much faster than watching anime :$ |
 ♔ caught in the wonder ♔ |
| Doujins > manga > anime So there you go. |
| it's like ask to a kid which he prefer of course he would pick anime which have good visual but i myself prefer read than watch |
| Well Duh... |
| Nowadays ...... Manga>>>>>>>>>>>>>Anime, cuz almost all the time anime adaptations sucks.... (Sousei no Omnyoji/ Tokyo Ghoul) |
 |
| Anime -Sound -Visualization -Fan-service -Requires less effort Manga -Faster than anime adaptions -More in-depth/detailed at times -Original source |
 |
| I think buying or reading manga, in comparison to anime, is a hassle. It may be prettier than anime, but manga is expensive and is harder to find for free online. |
 |
| aside from the fact the internet connection at my place is so fucking slow which makes it pretty unenjoyable to read mangas online, yea it's a lot harder for me to process what the characters were really doing in the manga, especially in shonen ones. I'm such a shitty imaginer. although there are times where reading the manga is better than watching the anime. |
| Because black and white static images are inferior to colored moving images with sound effects, voices, and and music. |
| "Laws exist only for those who cannot live without clinging onto them." -Souske Aizen "Bleach"  |
| Basically anime is an upgraded version of manga....so most of us prefer anime KEK |
 |
| Depends on preferences. for me, I prefer manga for story and characters and animee for actions scenes and soundtrack. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| i love manga but chapters come out once a month...whereas anime eps air once a week. like it took me over a year to finish one manga so that's pretty off-putting imo |
| I prefer manga over anime, i don't have any problem to imagine the voices and the sequence of an action manga if the panel disposition is good. Some manga like Vagabond, Blade of the Immortal, Sanctuary, Kokou no Hito ecc... have a really detailed art and without a really big budget they can't give justice to the source. Anyway it's my impression or we don't have any adaptation of a completed manga/LN recently, just ongoing manga/LN to improve the sales. |

| I don't. In fact it would be the opposite for me if I'd to be honest.. Action based stories are better off in Anime while almost all the other genres are more enjoyable/detailed in Manga but hey that's just me ^_^ |
