| I agree with your picks. I would also add saiki |
 ManWild |
| Ousama Ranking is the joke answer Agree with Demon Slayer Maybe a controversial but Jojo, I think Araki's art is really cluttered in B&W and action scenes are hard to follow |
No watch list sig cuz "You watch anime in 3 days or 3 months! Such is the proper way!" |
| I agree with most of your picks. Demon slayer manga was pretty good but damn the difference between manga and anime's quality is huge. I mean even if the manga did not have any adaptation, I would still say the manga is solid but the anime just made it clear how good Ufotable are. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Though demon slayer manga is my favourite but ya gotta agree with you here |
 For your Information: |
| As long as they follow the manga faithfully (or close enough) and they adapt a sizeable portion of the manga, I generally find most anime to be better than their manga counterparts Now, to that end, R.O.D THE TV, one of my favorite anime ever made, is completely different from the READ OR DREAM manga. But all the R.O.D anime, light novels and manga were written by the same person, so it still captures the cast and setting well enough to best the manga I think Yozakura Quartet is the only manga I've read that's better than the anime. The anime not being in chronological order, skipping arcs, being an incomplete adaptation and having a completely non-canon season didn't do it any favors |
My greatest contribution to this website:  |
| K-On. KyoAni's top tier animation quality and actually being able to hear the music in a story about music easily makes the anime superior to the manga. |
 |
| I agree with your pick there, especially Demon slayer I will add Interspecies reviewer (usually in ecchi adaptation, they will tone down some ecchi scene but here they added more) |
 |
| AOT and Violet evergarden (better than the light novel) |
  . |
| Obviously K-On!, because in anime everything is better. |

| Planetes the anime is much more interesting than the manga. I found the manga to be on the boring side in places. |
| Usagi drop doesn't have a manga, literally doesn't exist, so that's a weird inclusion. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| Vinland Saga Mugen no Juunin: Immortal That's it I guess. |
 |
| Definitely Hunter x Hunter and JoJo, despite being a fan of those two anime I can't bring myself to read their manga it's too chaotic for my eyes |

| fma 2003 takes a better direction for the story than the manga imo |
| Candy Candy, Fate Stay Night UBW, Gintama, JoJo. |
 |
| May be a little controversial but I think that the original ghost in the shell movie is way better than the manga. If it wasn't for Oshii and his addition of philosophical stuff, the manga would be just another sci fi work with nothing special at all (and it took me months to finish it because it doesn't follow the "show, don't tell" rule most of the time, at least I'm thankful that 1.5 and 2 are much shorter to a standard manga tankoubon). |

You should see some of the manga creators artbooks, have you seen Dominion Tank Police? What do you think of his art style? With dominion so far I only watched the original ova series and it was a 7/10 for me, just in case, the original Appleseed ova was also a 7/10 and black magic was 6/10. I want to continue the first 2 but most stuff under 8/10 in general i don't put their next anime to watch on my PTW due to priorities. To me, shirow is one of my favorite mangaka in terms of art and aesthetics, i personally like his digital art more than his traditional art. This is one of the reasons why I bought 1.5 and 2, the other one is because I already liked GitS as an anime and the original movie is one of my favorite anime. |

AwokenStroken said: At the risk of "explaining the joke"... apparently some choose to deny the existence of the Bunny Drop manga, due to dissatisfaction with story developments later on, beyond the point that the anime adapts. It's similar to the belief back in the 2000s that there was no Tsukihime anime.huh wuh wait what are you talkin' about lol yeah [Bunny Drop] does [have a manga]?? |
LostSpectre said: Usagi drop doesn't have a manga, literally doesn't exist, so that's a weird inclusion. I second this! What is this Usagi Drop manga thing? Hmm... must be a Mandela effect or something. |
 |
| Candy Candy, Fushigi Yuugi, Gintama. |
|
| Definitely JoJo. The manga had inaccurate coloring issues, hard to follow fight scenes (B&W ver) and some pacing issues. The anime pretty much smooths them out |
Yumerei said: AOT and Violet evergarden (better than the light novel) True. Violet Evergarden is honestly the first time that I liked major changes to a story Well and ghost in the shell maybe. Idk the manga had to much drugs and lesbian parties for this kind of story |

The anime not being in chronological order, skipping arcs, being an incomplete adaptation and having a completely non-canon season didn't do it any favors Same though. If an anime is faithful to the source it's essentially just the manga+ animation+music+great voice acting Faithful adaptations are usually better then the original because they are just an enhanced version of the original . |
| Since I read manga less than I watch anime, from only the shows that I can comment on, I'd add Horimiya, One Punch Man S1 and Fumetsu no Anata e. |
 |
| Easyyyyyyyyyy! Usagi Drop the animation is pretty much way better than the original content. I mean, not that I hate Usagi's manga, just that the animated show is much more pleasing overall. |

| This is kind of an unknown one, but the OVA series Tsubasa: Tokyo Revelations (which covers the Tokyo Arc of Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE) was basically a perfect adaptation and really helped me understand everything going on, since the manga can be confusing at times. It's also made by production I.G. so the animation and art are really good. |
