Neutral

I usually read those manga which have slim possibility to receive an adaptation but along that I also watch anime and if I really like the series than I start the manga of that anime from where the adaptation ends. So, yeah, I think I am neutral in this case.

In another case, I started with anime and still I watch anime more than I read manga. So, I prefer anime over manga. But as statistics, it's kind of unreasonable. So, either way it neutral.

Anime for mainstream action shounen stuff because there is nothing like experiencing that animated when done right, the music, the emotion, the hype to the fights, you cannot experience that when reading it. As for manga when it comes down to the compelling stories that don't involve the kind of action shounen and more brutal seinen series may have I am all for manga and LNs. So all in all I am neutral, but it solely depends on the type that I will refuse to read and instead watch.

I like both for different reasons.

Anime adds many different components of "art" to a work. You have acting, animation, music, color, and many other vibrant additions which can be a great collective.

However, with so many aspects of quality, it's easier for individual weaknesses to impact the work as a whole. This is where I feel manga excels. You have fewer variables, so when a mangaka is very talented, you can have some truly jaw dropping panels. Sometimes the visuals are also more striking in the original mangaka's art style.

@TheDarkLordOtaku

vns have a lot more room for creativity and character development, developing a proper story and everything

making a big splash doesn't matter a ton, I kind of don't want the medium to be too popular since what's happened with manga and anime generally taming down a lot of source materials and all
some vns could never be in manga or anime form due to the contents but that's great hmmhmm

I spend more time on anime though. I do enjoy manga primarily for artwork when detailed and sometimes stories you wouldnt see often in anime but anime is more full package to me.

Anime and manga are both great and are ay they're best when they utilise their medium's capabilities, but I have to give the edge to manga since most modern anime are adaptations, and while good adaptations deserve high respect, I feel like I just have more respect to original stories, also there are just stories better fit to one medium, pmmm won't work as well as a manga and dead dead demon's anime while good can't compare to the manga (still great)

I consider myself an anime guy, because anime is my preferred medium, and there are very few manga that I've read before they got an anime adaptation.

I'm more of an anime guy. I did start reading manga way after I started watching anime, however I still prefer anime as the best way to consume a majority of stories.

@DoisacChopper I am really sad that I have hard time reading VNs since they truly sound like a very interesting and unique concept

I also started watching "Oshi no ko" S1 because of the huge popularity in social media (especially of the ep 1). ultimately, social media platforms are existed to influence our thinking.

300+ completed anime
15 manga

Though in fairness, I've definitely been reading more manga as of late than I've been watching anime, funnily enough. Mostly mangas that I watched the anime of and wanted to know how they ended, but also some that have had no anime adaptation just yet.

I'm a girl who is rather neutral since both the animation and graphic novel format that manga uses have their own strengths and weaknesses
This post is brought to you by your local transfem gamer goblin. Will not tolerate bigotry and will fight against "anti-woke" sentiment to make the anime community a safer place.

I used guy as a middle ground, but after ur comment it made me wonder- I shouldn't use just guy, but also gal.

Then the thread topic would be like anime guy/gal or manga guy/gal. lol

Definitely a manga guy and apparently the only one in this thread lol

My last anime update was over six months ago and I can't gather any motivation to watch any shows or movies on my own whether it's live-action or animated. Listening to music and reading has taken over that hobby completely for now. Although I'm also neutral in the sense that I don't think there's anything wrong with anime but it's a very strong personal preference.

I'm more of an anime guy myself. I do enjoy manga, I haven't read much though.

I'd really like to get into more LN's and manga. I just don't have the space for physical books at the moment so I'm holding off.

at the moment I'm roughly equal, going by my profile, but I think going forward I will gradually start to favor manga. It just feels like less of a commitment to read manga than watch anime, especially with longer series. I'm reeeeeeeal lazy when it comes to watching stuff, only just watched Breaking Bad last/this year, and it took me like 6 months or something crazy like that.

I can read 1-2 volumes on a typical day, more if I have more free time, and while it's not a race, it just kinda feels better for me to be able to read at my own pace. Not even bothered really by lack of color, maybe briefly as a kid, but I quickly got over it. Not to mention sometimes the changes made in an adaptation can be annoying, or some moments just don't hit as effectively as in the manga.

It must sound like I hate anime, but definitely not so xD I tend to favor source material first, but often I will do both, and sometimes anime first. And of course there are anime originals, some of my favorite series are those. And sometimes anime is better at eliciting emotional reactions, like I think I've cried at anime far more than manga, but then again hype is universal I think, lol.
