All the manga I've read either have no anime adaptation or I watched the anime before reading the manga. I didn't plan for this to happen, it just did.

If this forum was posted several months from now, many will give the example of Chainsaw Man. Since it's already finished and by that time I could've already read all of its chapters. So yeah I will watch the anime after I finished a completed manga.

I watch the anime first, read the manga (and the novels), and if I love the series, I'll rewatch the anime.

I am an anime purist.I don't read manga unless the anime is hot mess of an adaptation like Berserk (2016).

The only manga which I read in advance was AoT and clearly MAPPA is cutting important scenes.And I'm not enjoying it.

Look at me I am becoming the source material purist, the very thing which I hate.

If I liked the manga and I think that the anime is going to be good, Yes.

Yes and vice versa. Though more often for the vice versa since I lean more towards manga superiority,

Who cares for what I do because I think most anime enthusiasts are the source's readers. You can check episode discussions of manga adaptations in MAL, they are full with manga's readers. Fuck them (lol).

Yes, if I liked it enough. It's cool to see the story you loved come to life in animation, or to find out what it was originally like before changes were made for the adaptation.

I generally read the manga and LNs of anime I try, there is so much manga compared to anime and a lot of manga doesnt get translated until a popular anime comes out to make it worth while money wise. I have a bunch on the go but translations are slow for many of them especially LNs.

If the adaptation is any good...yes I do.

Yes and vice versa. I usually read manga first, but I had watched Sailor Moon long before I learned of the manga in my middle school years and read it.

I usually watch the anime first if there's already an adaptation so I don't think I've ever been in this situation.

But when I catch up to the berserk manga I'll definitely check out the 1997 berserk anime since I really like the manga

No. I'll probably check out the first few episodes to see the characters move and speak, but that's it, I don't watch the entirety of it.

However, vice versa, I do pick up some manga after I finished watching the anime.

I usually go anime first, then if it was good or if it has a cliffhanger and no more episodes I will move to the manga. Though this is limited because I prefer reading finished manga and if it is still ongoing it will just be left on the back burner.

Might. I have read some manga but for some I might and for some I won't. For example I love Eyeshield 21 and Slam Dunk but I wouldn't watch the anime. I have tried watching eyeshield but it kinda sucked. But I read some shounen Jump titles so I have seen the anime for them such as One Piece and Dr. Stone.

Yes. I do watch for the character comes to life and how they put the VA cast portray certain emotional or the action part of the chapter.

The best example is the show airing right now - ''Shingeki no kyojin''. It's something u read with passion and can't wait for it to be animated ^^.

I mostly would say no, because most of the manga I've read didn't have an anime adaptation (probably cause they are unpopular) or maybe cause the adaptation was shitty (I don't really remember an example though)

Yeah, I don't see the reason why not? If I enjoyed the manga I'd mostly likely watch the anime too.
