I'm used to be 50:50 anime:manga. But since 5 month ago i'm upgrade my manga portion so its like 75manga:25anime. I still finish some anime in summer 2021, and i keep reading manga, check out some new story, i found so many good story out there. Its feels like i can find a new manga or the old one from everywhere, Import(amazon&rightstuff),local bookstores, and second hand seller.

So i watch some anime in summer 2022, doesn't even finish anything. Even The show that i love like Kageki shoujo, i ended up buy its manga. And like yesterday i want to rewatch Kaiji, i love kaiji, but i just can finish 1/2 episode. Watching anime its feels weird to me right now.

manga is just easier, it's easier to consume/appreciate and it's way less time consuming than anime

I think every anime comes to an age where the consumption of anime just gets lesser and lesser and the more manga they read.

Happens. As long as you are enjoying yourself engaging with whatever medium then you're good.

I too prefer manga because of ease of use. All popular shows that people watch, i read the manga instead.

I'm hella envious.
If I had to choose, I rather read manga than watch anime but personally, anime feels so much easier to consume.

It's just totally normal, like you can finish off a whole season in just one day which is not possible with anime and it might be only me but i think reading manga is far better as you are enjoying it in it's original form, sure there is animation which looks and feels cool but you need to wait if it's seasonal worse if it's long series then you need to wait a lot till it gets to that part.

Also for arguments that manga feels lifeless then surely you all reading manga wrong or your brains fails to put any thought into that and it might be because you have not being in habit of reading as it comes with reading and imagination. (Not an insult please don't get triggered)

Enjoy whatever medium you like.

Funny, because I find reading manga to feel like a chore. And I need complete silence whenever I read manga, so if it's noisy outside, I just won't be able to concentrate on reading manga. While I can watch an anime even if it's noisy outside.

Same. I just can't read manga unless I'm in a mood and even then the mood doesn't last long.

I am very proud of you for inventing time travel just so you could jump a year ahead and complain about how you dislike 2022's summer season.

Either way, in manga form, the reader has more to do with their imagination, thus something that you don't necessarily like could seem fun and interesting with the right mindset and the way you imagine it. In anime format, most if not everything about the creation is set in stone, thus you can either like the way its being presented or not.

I use to watch anime a lot more when I was younger, but now it’s mainly manga. If I enjoy the manga a lot that’s when I tend to watch the anime too.

I understand you. I don't really have the time to devote to watching hours of anime anymore. Manga is easier to digest and more accessible.

I'm kind of dead with both recently except with seasonals/manga updates, but I will say, manga is much more easier to binge through if you have the options compared to an anime. Did manage to actually catch up to a manga today in full (Dandadan) after so long.

I kinda feel that.

I prefer to read romance than to watch it cause there is a variety of manga/manhwa/manhua. It's harder to find good romance josei, shoujo, girl's love, etc...most good romances don't get an adaptation sadly.


On the other hand, I don't like to read action as much because I like to see it animated. So in that case I'd prefer anime over manga

Don't worry, he kinda replies like that.

I'd say, if you want to go back to anime, watch some AMVs associated with the manga you are reading. Try something very different to watch for a while. Pick well praised anime from the bottom of the popularity barrel. Try new genres, older short anime, etc. Keep doing this for a while to get back your appetite.

It has been a month since I completed my latest anime. I haven't attempted to watch any other show since then. I am not craving any anime at all. Now, I'm just reading the Berserk and it is a god damn masterpiece. Sometimes, you get burnout and it doesn't go away immediately. That's a pretty normal thing to experience.

I have just the opposite the problem. I have trouble reading manga these days because it feels so dry compared to anime. I can only read a few pages without getting sleepy which is a shame considering I have loads of manga on my shelf that I need to finish. Hopefully I get into the mood for it again soon, but its all anime for me right now.

It's honestly ok, listen to your own instincts and go with what you want to consume. Maybe one day you'll come back to anime but there's no need to force it.

Manga has better storytelling ability because you get unfiltered canonic content
