Which is better? Post legit reasons why you believe it to be the case.

It looks like someone beet me to making this ^_^

Anyways, I would say manga, because it doesn't have fillers, it's not as time consuming, and in my opinion, it's more entertaining.

I voted Manga, for the same reasons above.. even though I tend to watch anime more.

lol manga 100%

manga is almost always better for me personally because the art is better usually, and sometimes the story is just captured so well...

manga is more original, anime came from manga remember? (when ppl didnt have classical animation skills or photoshop)

Manga imo--when it comes to pacing and the overall quality of how the art presents itself. However, there are some exceptions as to when the anime version is better than the manga version. (i.e. Code Geass, Aria, MSLN, etc.) But in general, manga is usually better.

I'm going to agree with Vizard, while generally specking manga is a whole lot better there are some exceptions.

I always liked anime more, to be honest ^_^; I've been watching anime all my life but I only started reading manga 2 years ago. I like manga more than I did before now, but anime is still number one for me. I like the colors, the animation, the music, the voice acting, etc. Manga doesn't have those.

That's true :D
Colorful moving pictures are better than still black and white images.

i perfer anime but unless the anime continues in the magna ill read it!!!

For me, it depends on the series. I liked the Shugo Chara! manga much, much more than the anime. I like the Code Geass anime much more than any of the manga. It just depends.

I prefer manga over anime...

I'm still fuming over the fact that the Tsubasa anime sucked so much. It honestly makes me want to cry...Bee Train COMPLETELY failed to capture the emotional, psychological, and tragic beauty of Tsubasa. They turned it into some f'in kids' show. It sucked so much that CLAMP had to interfere and cancel the third season. And after Episode 42, it started to randomly spin off into some innocent plot that didn't follow the story at all. Hell, even the OVA's are better. Production I.G. should have obtained the rights to do the anime from the beginning ;__; *mourns over the ruination of Tsubasa*

Anime is FAR superior to manga. Anime is not only a visual presentation, but the music and voices are much more engaging than reading static text on paper. Manga is just another step in the creation of an anime. The original creator comes out with manga, which gets made into a (usually supeior) anime adaptation. I don't care what anyone says, the Bleach anime is light-years ahead of the manga, and as if that wasn't enough to infuriate most people, I watch it dubbed.

Anime is obviously better. This is not even a comparison. Anime has sound, movement, color and it just feels more lively! Manga is too bland. Anime wins hands down; doesn't even compare.
