I always preferred to watch anime but now I'm trying to read more manga. I like both, they are special by their own.

I agree with SaikoKlein

If there is an anime adaptation I'll prefer to watch that but if I find that the manga is better then I'll read and watch both

I prefer to watch anime because it's in colour and there is music or voice overs and if there is a fight scene or some sort of action I would prefer to watch it animated rather than see it in the manga because I always find it hard to follow.

I do like manga too, but I would normally only read manga if the anime was really good and made me want to read more.
As it turns out, living was a punishment...

Wow, none of you prefer manga? Well :3 I for 1, adore manga. I started with watching anime but one day I just got over it and started loving manga more XD I think I drained anime too much an got sick of it :P but I still like both although manga in my opinion IS better in well, all ways... except sound of course, that doesn't apply :P

I like anime the most because the medium makes it easier to understand what is happening, and when the voices, music, art, and animation come together then it sounds great and I believe might be able to surpass the manga in enjoyment.

Though I do want to start reading manga, as soon as I get done watching the show I am watching right now and a few others then I will start reading manga seriously.

I like watching anime more than I like reading, the main reason being that often find it hard to read (I get distracted, and dislike touching paper for too long. I don't really like reading from a computer screen either.. this is the only reason why I want a tablet).
I'm also an extreme multi-tasker, so watching anime while also doing something else, fx. drawing is easier, than reading manga and doing something else.

Also, if it's an action or battle manga/anime, I often find it difficult depicting what they're actually doing by just looking at the drawings. Also, if the actions scenes are well done in animation, they can look amazing!

However, my opinion often changes if the manga is better.
For example, I love Bakuman, and the anime is good, but as it's about making manga, it seems to fit better to read it. Also, it has a pretty laid back approach, so it's hard to watch it in animation and be extremely fascinated. In the manga however, Obata Takeshi tackles that by adding dynamic scenes and funny extreme expressions, which also adds humor.

I like watching anime better, for now. But I don't think it will change xD It's just so nice, from watching a gut-wrenching gore fest, to being a moe zombie at 3am, Anime just has the moving picture aspect which I don't think manga can keep up with :/

I've recently started reading Manga (Yesterday xD) and I really love it. I read it by downloading it, converting it from images to a pdf and then I read it on my phone, because I spend about an hour and a half on the bus a day :3
If people don't know how, I might make a tutorial on how to put manga into a .pdf?

Watching, since I don't like reading, which is ironic since I prefer subs.

I have to say that recently I've enjoyed them evenly. I love watching anime and enjoying the audio/visual experience. I love hearing voices, music, and watching animation. You can't get that with manga. But manga is more dialogue driven and you can get inside the characters heads more.

So I prefer them both. ^_^

Manga’s better for me. Anime often differs from the manga if it’s an adaptation and not in a good way. Of course I like them both but if there’s manga and anime of the same title I would most likely try to find out which of them is an original and start with that one. If I like one of them then it wouldn’t hurt to try them both though :) But still I prefer manga :)

Mostly mangas are deeper story-wise, but I still prefer to watch everything animated and narrated by japanese voice actors.

Despite the fact that I've watched so much anime, I enjoy them pretty evenly. In fact, there are some manga and doujinshi that probably won't get an adaptation and are simply epic.

I love reading manga more then watching anime. The story goes farther in the manga then the anime would ever go, and the manga isn't full of fillers. This is all just my opinion tho (‐^▽^‐)
