Read the first chapter, watch the first episode, see which one suits you best. There's no objective answer, I love Tatsuki Fujimoto's art style, and Mappa's is completely different.

I'd say read the manga first, because then you don't have to wait for new episodes. Plus, don't matter how good the anime turns out to be, I doubt it's gonna surpass the manga.

You gave Vinland Saga a 6 and 86 a 3, your opinion is immediately invalidated…

For now pick whichever one you want.Though I will say that there will be panels that won't translate well to the anime because Fujimoto is built different. Not spoiling anything but there are moments when devils and their powers literally interact with the panels and imagery in a way that the anime probably won't capture.

Either works. But for full emersive experience you need to try plain bread with various toppings, like jam or butter or other stuff. Trust me!

I am up to date with the manga btw. It's unique all i can say.

just based off the first episode the manga has more emotion in it. i’d also recommend just reading it bc it is very very easy to get spoiled and that would suck

I’m not sure what exactly you mean by “has more emotion in it” but I feel like the advantage that anime has over manga is the emotion. The anime has a much more depressing feeling because you can actually see the characters moving, talking, etc and it just hits harder.

I don't think any studio could tbh. There's just something about Fujidick Cockimoto...

yeah i’d usually agree with that statement. it’s just specifically for this i felt that denjis va didn’t really do denji justice. there was that once scene with him screaming which was phenomenal but aside from that it felt like his personality just changed. it was like he was narrating his life instead of actually living it. idk how to explain but looking forward to the next episodes regardless

If you wanted to, you could read it in one sitting. So it really just depends on you. If you have the time, it couldn’t hurt.

If you want to understand the characters more I would say read the manga so you become more accustomed to their personalities. I would wait for the season to end and go from there

I think it’s just a matter of the va’s settling into their roles. Like Makima for instance, I like the the va’s soothing voice. It suits her character well but I know a lot of people don’t agree with that. It’s very unassuming.

yo I don't care about you hating on these animes (your opinion after all) but a mean score of 5.2 is sad. Learn to enjoy the things you are choosing to watch, and don't watch them if you don't enjoy them at all.

When I first read chainsaw man I thought if it gets anime adaptation the studio will have to use alot of cgi cuz there is something special about manga and fujimoto sensei's style that is really hard to replicate.
If you read chainsaw man you will understand what I mean but after watching first episode of anime I was blown away by how good it was. Sure it's not perfect and we all have our complaints but according to me it's mappa's best work so far except for jjk movie.
So please be happy that it got an adaptation and a quality one at that.

I wouldn’t say having a low mean score is bad personally, its probably more realistic, something that is a 5 or 6 can still be insanely enjoyable. The more you watch the more you realise having high ratings for everything doesn’t seem right as they are not at the same level. For a random example if i watched demon slayer and thought it was the best thing ever and gave it a ten but then watched something like death note and thought it was better I would give death note a 10 and lower demon slayer since you have a wider scope, doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t enjoy to lower rated shows.

To be fair, I do the same thing. If I find a series I like more I might lower some other shows I didn't enjoy as much. But I wouldn't lower them to something like a 5 or 6 because I would rate it based on how I felt a bit after I finished it. Otherwise a 5 or 6 wouldn't show how you truly felt about the show.
