Death Note. The anime changed quite a bit of what was in the manga, making it worse. The last episode was just terrible, as they took out all the suspense with Ryuk's speech.

Hellsing: the anime just had a few similarities with the manga, and then it developed it's own story.

Inuyasha: because the whole story in the manga isn't present in the anime.

X maybe, too bad the manga isn't finished, but I think that the manga has a better character development.

Air Gear was a complete failure as an anime, and I see a lot of people who agree.

Midori no Hibi was better as a manga. I watched the anime first and then switched to the manga which had me laughing way more.

Kashimashi was better as a manga as well. At least they had a definate ending as to who Hazumu ended up with.

And... Tsukihime.

The manga is always better, but the most clear cases are:
Naruto, Nana, Zombie Loan, Vampire Knight, Full Moon Wo Sagashite, and especially
X.

By far Full Metal Alchemist! The manga is soooooooooo much better. I covers the story more indepth, and it introduces a lot a new characters. I know it's still publishing, but by my standards it is wayyyyyyyyyy better than the anime.

Also, so far for what I have read of it, Sailor Moon. Don't get me wrong I love the anime, but the manga is different enough that I am really enjoying it.

Completely agreed.

Berserk and One Piece are also vastly superior to their anime counterparts.

I haven't seen Berserk so I cannot say, I love the manga though. I got the impression the anime wasn't as good.

I'm not into the One Piece anime but I love the manga, the anime just didn't appeal to me.

Yu-gi-oh anime is nothing compared to the manga- but I only ever seen the dub.

The Yu Yu Hakusho anime looked okay, I found it subbed the other day but it didn't have the appeal of the manga. In fairness I am reading the manga again so I don't see the point in watching the anime at the same time, especially since I could watch a few 26 episode series in that time like Oh My Goddess!

Usually I find anime equivalents at best equal to the original manga, and most often nowhere near as good, especially when filler is added. The sole exception is Hunter X Hunter, for all I love the manga the anime is something I prefer, the action flows a little smoother.

I'm gonna keep an eye out in this thread in case someone has an interesting anime which surpasses the manga. I've found I generally perfer the originals, be the series originally an anime or a manga.

The only way anime can be better if it contains whole manga storyline. Thats only because I prefer watching and listening over watching and reading. I can't think of any though, since I don't read a lot of mangas that have animes.

One Piece. The manga clearly outdoes the anime, which is... OK, but that's about it. Fillers and some voices makes it a bit painful to watch, and the overall theme feels a bit different.

EDIT: Oh, and also Full Moon wo Sagashite. Only watched like three episodes but still.

True dat.

Also, Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, only because the anime was too short and didn't cover the latest arc of the manga. They should really make a second season.

Karin. The manga is much better than the anime. In fact, the anime doesn't even compare to the manga story, since they added extra characters into the anime which changed the story entirely.

What a coincidence, I was about to post about that as well. It's one of the best examples whereas the anime is a bad rip off of the manga. Besides, the video quality of the anime was very disappointing. It seems so old while there are other (older) series in which you cannot see it's an older series immediately.

Fruits Basket.
Manga is much much better than anime. They didn't even show all of the characters. I mean where was Kureno? They do like the first 6 volumes for the anime and then there done. Do you how much there is to the manga?! Its freakin amazing. Don't watch the anime first, if you have to watch it at all.

The manga was sooooooooo much better, much more passionate/erotic, whereas the anime was slow and boring without much heat at all. I recommend the manga, but don't watch the anime. Just don't, trust me.
