Laaleet said: I wanted to ask if I should watch the anime or read the manga. Because I don’t know if the anime adapted the story correct or sth is bad about it and therefore just reading the source material. The Anime of Monster is known as one of the few perfect adaptation of a work in the industry. It adapted almost all panels 1:1 without losing anything. So pick the media you like the most. However , the pacing is extremely slow in this work , so some prefer the Manga to move faster. |

Laaleet said: Which one has the bigger impact of the cat and mouse game in monster? Because I feel like it works well in movies or 2d animation and I’ve never experienced it manga before. I'd say the Anime , thanks to the OSTs and the voices. But it all comes down to which media you generally prefer. Since you never tried it in Manga , it may be the opportunity to do so. (Or reserve it for a Manga-only , like Ouroboros ?) Just choose one and see how it goes. |

| maybe watch like 3 episodes of the anime, and if you don't like the voices and animation, switch to the manga. Tenma's voice gets thicker after a timeskip somewhere around episode 8 though. |
Extremely minor ones tho. Also , this type of mention doesn't work. Quote the user , or type his username manually behind the @. |

What do you guys think Go with the anime for first time experience, the performances by Japanese cast are great and the ost is perfect. |
| seeing its monster watch/read both lmao, personally the manga is slightly better but the anime is still amazing. i agree with thread and start with anime first |

| Manga 100%. If you love it, then go for the anime. I did not love the anime's pacing. It was a grind for me to get through, and that ultimately left me annoyed with the finale — but the Manga was fine. |
