| If I'm interested to see the continuation, I'll read the manga after finishing the anime. Depending on people's opinion about the adaptation (good or bad), I read from ch 1 if needed. Recently my 'currently reading' list got bigger, and it's hard to follow many manga, so I put some on my 'plan to read' list so I won't forgot what series I should read. |
| rarely manga.. I tend to watch anime solely |
 |
| If I really feel the necessity of reading a manga , I usually do it BEFORE watching the anime |
 |
| I usually watch the anime first. If it's going to have a second season not aired yet, I'll watch the already finished one and then try to catch up with the manga before its release date. |
| Well, I often do. Either if I like an anime a lot and want to find out how the original compares. Or I dislike the anime, but think the concept is interesting and want to find out if the original handled it better. Or an anime is good but done primarily to sell the manga. It usually ends after one season and oftentimes on a cliffhanger so I want to know what happens next. |

I have no interest in reading any. If I don't like a medium of entertainment I'm not going to enjoy it. It's a very simple concept. The quality of the manga is irrelevant, I don't like the medium. Don't need to be a 'genius' to understand this very simple concept. |
| 95% of the times I read the manga before watching the anime. Or it's more like I end up watching adaptations of manga I've already been reading for a long time... Anyway, I'm the "original first" type. |
| Well, since I just only started reading manga. I'm only reading 3 manga with anime adaptations. Though, it may increase in the next couple of months or years. |
| YEs i always watch....................................... |
 |
| I'll read the manga if: 1. I REALLY liked the show and want to see it again in another format 2. The show didn't cover the entire manga and I want to know what happens next 3. Someone recommends the manga to me when they hear I've seen the show |
| Rarely. I just read it if the anime was over the top quality and not getting S2. |
| With long running things ie long Shounen shows like one piece I caught up on anime then read Manga from start to compare how close it was to anime. Not often do I do that but occasionally I do |
| Only if I liked the anime a lot and don't have the patience to wait for a second season(even more so if there won't be a second season). |

Nice try taking the lol "moral high road" I can like whatever I like is equivalent to Eric Cartman saying: "Screw you guys I'm going home". If I don't like the medium hahahahaha that funny no really it is, I'm saying you're a genius because you live by the saying ignorance is bliss the reason I'm calling you an idiot is because you're so close-minded to this idea to the point if I ever saw your post again In another forum I would disregard it because there's no point having an argument with someone (not a fun one anyways) who can't be bothered to see that there are some mantas out there that have such impressive characters, setti, themes , you name it with so much more depth and sometimes realism in them to the point that their stories far surpass at least 70 % of the animes I've seen in terms of their overall quality. I believe this type of ignorance is unforgivable because it doesn't take much effort to read a manga but don't hide behind your bullshit do called tastes, just own up to the fact that you're too lazy to bother to read manga.If I don't like a medium of entertainment I'm not going to enjoy it. It's a very simple concept. The quality of the manga is irrelevant, I don't like the medium. Don't need to be a 'genius' to understand this very simple concept. I enjoy light novels, I do not enjoy manga. I enjoy books, I do not enjoy comics. I'm not close minded, I know what I like and understand different people have different preferences towards entertainment mediums. This is apparently difficult for you to comprehend, so I will not be replying anymore. I never said anything towards the nature of ignorance is bliss, I've read manga. I did not enjoy it. I would not say i don't like the medium if I did not try the medium. |

| Never. If the anime delivers poor closure it turns me off the franchise, and if the anime ended on a good note I don't want to ruin it by reading further. When I pick up an anime that's the only chance the franchise has with me. I will watch a visual novel adaptation if it's a good VN, but never read a VN after watching its anime first. I don't know yet if I'd watch an anime that was adapted from a manga I already read, as I haven't been in that situation yet. But probably if it's a good manga. |
 |
| I do as doing it the other way around might ruin the experience but if you watch the anime first then read the manga than you enjoy the anime then get to enjoy more about the world/s they're apart of. I do this for Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings etc as well :) |

| So far I've only read 1 manga, Deadman Wonderland, because I was so curious of what was supposed to happened after the last episode of the anime. Whenever I feel like reading manga of some unfinished anime, I feel that there's a whole lot of others I still need to watch, so I end up watching anime. |
A retard is trying to prove his point, thanks. |
| I plan to read the manga if I enjoyed the anime and if it wasn't a complete adaptation. However, the number of times I tend to actually follow through on this? Very rare, lol. Most of the manga I read is original stuff that hasn't been adapted into anything. |
::End of Transmission:: What have I been watching? Click here and find out on my viewing blog, "Vigorous Viewing" |
| I actually recently began doing this. I mainly grab the manga for long trips, as visiting my parents takes me nearly 7hrs from my place to theirs. So I began buying mangas of my favourite animes and started reading them. It's a nice change from my 3ds and sudoku. |
 |
| If the anime proves to be good, them I immediately add the novel/manga/light novel in my PTR list, so that I dont forget to check it out |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| If I find the universe very interesting, yes. Happened to Tokyo Ghoul and Hunter x Hunter |
| It still hasn't become a habitual pattern but lately I feel inclined to check it after completing the anime although there are certain condition to be matched before, first I should deem the anime worthy enough to check and indulge at its original source/manga and if possible the source is a completed and not too long one. |

| It really depends on what anime I watch. But most of the time, I just wait for a second season of the anime to come out. |

| Only once. Only once. And you know exactly which one it was, too. Fuckin' eclipse. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| Well I've done it once, with Nisekoi, but even so, instead of starting from the beginning, I picked up where the anime left off so I've never really done it before I guess. Normally what I do is, for an anime with a manga series that goes beyond what the anime covers, than I'd finish the manga and then read. I'm probably weird for doing that. |

| At some point? Its backwards for me because until the past few years I usually mostly read manga and not watched the adaptations of the shows. Now I watch adaptations of what I read, and watch shows as previews to decide whether or not something is worth reading. I read a lot so I have a lot on hold and a lot I need to get around to and catch up on so its a good way to see if new things are interesting or catch up if I say haven't read something in a few years and just refresh my memory. |
MochaMongoose said: It's reversed for me. I usually just read manga that were originally manga (like Shonen Jump manga) And if I happen to like the manga enough, I watch (part of) the anime to see how it gets adapted; its just interesting to see how it would look animated. Conversely, I don't have much motivation to read manga of original anime. I'm the same and I agree wholeheartedly. I found that 95% of the time the source material to be better for both anime and manga. |
| Yes I'm reading the Gintama manga because the anime hasn't animated the rest of the story yet. |
| “Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth. But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete..." -Alphonse Elric "Then and now, what I protect has never changed!" -Sakata Gintoki I'll take anything like The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. Anything as good as that. |
Me too. Otherwise I don't really worry about the Manga since most Anime are usually LN's anyway. And to be honest, I feel a lot of LN"s are just Fanfiction that people pay for. Some of the words in them feel like something ripped straight out of fanfiction.net |
| I play video games. You should play a video game because you read my signature. |

"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| No. I am not interested in manga. I want it animated, voiced, and all that jazz … |
| *darn, using my right hand is off-limits for a while. Typing with my left hand only is ... eww.* |
| Yes, if i really like the anime or if I feel like the story would be better in the manga, I'll totally give it a try, tbh. Anime normally doesn't go as deep as manga. |
| Don't like manga as a medium but just started doing this for some lns, starting from the start. Will soon start checking out lns I haven't watched the anime of before, just getting back into reading after a 2-3 year break, used to read 1-2 novels a week. |
