Depends on the series, but usually the Manga is always better, so I would have to go with it.

Just started my first manga.

Definitely has a different feel to it, and while enjoyable, I still prefer anime.

*Compares both of my lists* I prefer watching anime, I guess. Except for anime based on shonen manga, which are infinitely better in manga format.

I'd choose death, lol.

Can't decide... Both have their good and bad points and both are equally important. Anyway...

Manga. Their stories are usually more thought-provoking than anime's.

I prefer to read manga because I can carry it around with me more easily. Though with the MP3 players these days anime is portable too.

Anime, mainly because I like pretty colors :P

Anime > Manga IMO

I do read Mangas from time to time but I usually stop in the middle and never finish them.

I enjoy watching the anime, its entertainment quality is much higher than manga for me because of the greater amount of effort and collaboration that goes into making it.

I prefer anime, especially since I like good background music (I often get myself the OSTs), but when I get the feeling that the anime is incomplete I start reading the Manga... that's seldom though

Well, if I had access to all the manga I want, I would choose "Read Manga", otherwise I would choose "Watch Anime."
So, being realistic and knowing I do not have access to all the manga I want, I chose, "Watch Anime".

Anime all the way. I prefer books without illustration, so I can use my imagination. Manga loses to Anime in terms of sound, colors and motion.

I believe having no anime of certain manga is more often the case.

I'd choose to read manga.

First few pages of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle made me really sad. No anime drama can do that in the first few seconds =/ Always many episodes of build up ; ;

Anime, without a doubt.
I love manga as well, but I would rather actually watch and hear the series I love.

Well Manga normally as far as im concerned has better quality to it but just what i like more is still anime since well manga is motionless and anime by moving moves the "story" and manga comes in chapters that makes it feels like the story stops moving forward;7

If the series was equally awesome in anime form than manga, then I would watch anime; but USUALLY I see that the anime is not as good as the manga.
Bleed for me.
