why?

like i get it. this is just a motion manga and is barely animated. but why would you read the manga, over the same manga but with voice acting, music and some motion.

you may say the art is better, but honestly, in a comedy music and voice acting are much more important than art.

so even though i agree that this adaptation is not "great". it's still, not bad, compared to the manga. like as an anime yes, it's barely animated, but if we are comparing it to the manga i don't see how it's a downgrade.

i finished this cour, and i was laughing my ass of the whole way through, so i really want to know, what makes the manga worth reading over watching the "anime"?

Ignore them, they just want attention and think their opinions are superior. Just do whatever you want.

Tbh, I like the anime of this much better. When I read the manga after watching the anime, the manga felt bland tbh. Anime brings it to life, at least that's what i think

Both the manga and anime(motion manga) are fine imo. Both have specific things to them that make them stand out on their own.

For me personally, the manga is just better because I can read it at my own pace. The anime is just way too fast for me, it jumps from scene to scene so that it almost made me sick.
Also, this half-baked animation is too repugnant to me. I don't care if it's an "intentional style" or if the mangaka wanted it that way. For me it's just lazy and animating a bike that doesn't even move the wheels and just wiggles around is just one of the many times where this "animation style" absolutely annoyed and triggered me.
Conclusion: The mixture of these scenes jumping back and forth way too fast, which are paired with "minimalistic animated stills", lead to an overall work that just screams: "It could have been really good, but it's not!"
The only thing that was done right is the synchro cast. Don't get me wrong, I intrinsically love the work, which is why I myself gave the anime 7 points, but that's only because of the basic story and characters. So I recommend everyone to simply read the manga but if you think the motion manga is more enjoyable, than that‘s fine, it‘s just my personal opinion.

I definitely prefer the manga, but the anime is great as well imo. Like you said, the style of the show works fine for the vibe they're going for.

They're people who work with the internet hive mind. They won't be able to explain their "opinions".

You can enjoy both manga and anime at the same time though.

This was so funny that I hardly noticed the poor animation, the VAs are perfect too.

Agreed. I actually loved this. It felt fresh and unique. I was LMAO too...

Anime fandoms are so toxic, and people feel it's their responsibility to make sure others see things through the same negative lens.

I read the manga and watched the anime and i enjoyed every minute of the anime, i think those people who are disappointed of the Anime did expect to much of it, its a Comedy/ slap stick anime/manga which you read/watch if you cant sleep and thats it.

I started off as a manga reader and honestly the manga makes me laugh a lot, probs more than the anime for some reason maybe because with the anime it’s the same joke twice so i know what to expect? Idk i mean i laugh when i rewatch something like kaguya and i did laugh watching the anime for this but not as much i suppose?

But I stopped reading at around vol 5 and if they continue to make more seasons, i believe most of the jokes will be new to me. I probs will continue watching it as an anime for now.

I think the anime is a great option for those not wanting to spend on the manga.

I am a manga reader, and when i saw this animated i found that the anime honestly just "brightens" the whole thing up, with the colours, the slight comedic animation, etc. Oh, also the beautiful voice acting by tsudaken, hosoyan and the others.

Honestly coming from someone who hasn’t read the manga I still feel the animation is something people complain about too much. The animation and the storylines work really well with each other.
