| I haven't read an awful lot of manga at all, but I have read the Death Note manga and am siding with those who say it was better than the anime. The manga went into more detail about many plot points, which in a series like Death Note that is chock full of Xanatos gambits from all the crazy smart detectives trying to outwit each other, becomes very important. Also, I felt like they tried too hard to overdramatise certain scenes in the anime, especially episode 25. I feel like the way they handled that part of the story in the manga was better suited to the overall atmosphere of the series. As for a manga series that has a better anime counterpart, I'm going to have to say Kuroko no Basket. Don't get me wrong, the manga is good and the art has improved considerably over time, but just comparing the part covered in the anime to its corresponding chapters in the manga, it is much more entertaining and heart-pounding to see every basketball match come to life in the animation. I think the same goes for many (but certainly not all) sports and action-oriented series, because it just makes sense that moving images and music will convey a more interesting story than still images. |

YorozuyaGinSan said: To add to the list Tonari no Kaibutsu Kun Sukitte Ii na yo Disagreed. Both were two short. Tonari wasn't interesting enough as an anime because it had not point to go to. Sukitte was butchered completely. |
| Easily Hunter x Hunter. The manga is such an information dump that it's hard to read sometimes. The sound track and extended action in the anime makes it so much better. |
 |
| The only one I can think of (since I've only read a limited number of titles) is Gintama. This is kinda debateable among fans but I find that most fans prefer the anime. I highly suggest, it's an incredible watch. |
| I doubt that those claiming that the anime for HxH is better than the manga actually even read the manga. |
 |
| Hunter x Hunter because dat manga art. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I'm tempted to say Bleach. Also, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Normally when Anime beats Manga, it's because of the music and if any, fight scenes. That's how it is for me. |

| I'd say K-On! and Lucky Star, I don't really like 4 koma much |

| most shows kyoani have based off a manga. (k-on, lucky star) infact, kyoani tends to take average mangas and make smash hits. azumanga daioh was equally as good as the manga, and some scenes were far better animated. aria was essentially everything that made the manga good, but animated, beautifully, with an amazing soundtrack and visuals. |

| FMA, the first anime. The story may be shorter and less complex, but the anime is slow paced and is way darker. HxH, the first anime. The OSTs are so fucking relaxing ( especially the instrumentals of Ohayou ), and it stops right when the manga start being shit. Gintama, because of Sugita. Death note, because of Kira's laugh. |
 |
| Not that I've read it but apparently the Shoujo Kakumei Utena manga pales in comparison to the anime. |

| The World God Only Knows.... Easily better than the manga. Manga drags out like fuck, putting in pointless arcs lol. |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| Railgun and Railgun S They flawlessly and very loyally adapt the source material while adding heap tons of content that doesn't mess with the canon, the characters, or the chronology at all. It's like getting a free update to a video game that adds weeks worth of additional story and character development. The directing - especially in S, is some of the best I've seen in any anime and everything from the lighting to the scene composition is on par with a high budget Hollywood film, so that aspect also helps make it much better than the manga which is just your typical frame work. |
