| I'm curious to know which version of the story seems more enjoyable for you. I'm looking more specifically for people who have read the manga. It's not too serious of a poll, but I'm just curious. Some people are turned off by Shaft's style, but I found it to make the story more enjoyable. I know there's only one episode, hence the "so far" in the title. |
| It's been ages since I've read the first chapters of Nisekoi but so far, I like the anime only a slightly better because of Shaft's style. I was actually surprised it would be Shaft to produce this as I originally thought JC Staff or another studio would handle it~ I personally like Shaft's style and most of their works so this is definitely something...I'll look forward each week. Hell, weekends are going to be fun now this season. I'll probably vote half way into the series though. |

| the anime solely for DAT shaft animation . Been loving that style since bakemonogatari |

| Right from when they added that scene with Raku cooking, I was already finding this more enjoyable than the manga. I even reread the first chapter just to get refresher on things that happened, and I have to say that I like they way Shaft did some of the scenes such as when Raku yelled at Chitoge with the rain pouring down afterwards. I always enjoyed Shaft's style, I wasn't sure what to expect with Nisekoi, but from this first episode, it was pretty awesome. |
 |
| Considering I'm not reading the manga I will say the anime. |
 |
| First few minutes and it sucks, too "Shafty" |
 |
| It's funny how people dare to answer that anime is better, while stating that they didn't even try the manga. This is just weird. |

Frontalbrise said: It's funny how people dare to answer that anime is better, while stating that they didn't even try the manga. This is just weird. I have to say to people who enjoy the manga better (this is my opinion so you can ignore it if you want.) It was refreshing to see an adaptation that wasn't directly by the book (or manga in this case). The manga has its charm, but I was pleasantly surprised how the anime version was different but also at the same time the same story. Its really hard to pull of an adaptation that isn't exactly like the manga but not manage to piss off half of the original fanbase. Usually it ends up in a disaster (for example Aku no Hana and its rotoscoping) but I believe it worked really well for Nisekoi which was surprising to see it being so different from your average romcom. |
Urek said: Not at all. As I said, I just dislike if people choose one, while not even look at the other. It's something that happens awfully often in anime discussion.Frontalbrise said: It's funny how people dare to answer that anime is better, while stating that they didn't even try the manga.

I hate it. |
| The manga's art is nothing special, so it's Shaft for me. I'm not really sure how much the story will keep me around though ... |
| Seeing as I'm a Shaft fanboy, the choice is an obvious one for me. Anime all the way. Loving the vivid colours, camera angels, head tilts, etc.. |
| Everything is great so far but HanaKana voicing Onodera somehow puts me off. Don't get me wrong, I love her voice but it doesn't really suite Onodera, in my opinion. |

| the manga ofcourse because I dont like the animation in this anime |
| I think Nisekoi is entertaining for me because of it's cliche romcom/harem tone that it has. Someone else said something like this in the episode 1 discussion too. Not that I completely dislike what Shaft has done with Nisekoi, it's actually quite entertaining since it's like seeing Nisekoi from a different perspective, but I still prefer manga over anime. |
| Most of those who voted for Anime probably haven't read much of the manga at all. Like I mentioned in the episode thread, its all about fit. Shafting Nisekoi was totally unexpected, and given its a romcom, a bit needless. Would have totally preferred the Oreimo or ToraDora treatment over this, and am betting most manga readers would as well. Manga all the way. Given the material to work with, each episode could have been one chapter of the manga (three at most), but seeing as its been shafted, I'm guessing they're probably going to skip around and omit much of the fun stuff. |

| I generally prefer manga version. After one episode I think it's a little early to call though. And it's not as if I haven't seen good (or better) adaptations. kaimax said: Eh, not really. I mean, it's like saying you watch a Spielberg movie because it's got Speilberg's name on it. Insincere? Nah. They're as much a fan of Shaft as you are of Komi-sensei.I find it more jarring that some would watch this "just because" its shaft. It just comes out as insincere to me. Like you're being friends with someone just because they're rich. Anyway, this seems like a better fit for the other topic than this one, so I'll leave it at that. |

kaimax said: I find it more jarring that some would watch this "just because" its shaft. It just comes out as insincere to me. Like you're being friends with someone just because they're rich. I like Shaft's animation style. I dislike most romcoms and harems. The fact that this anime is being animated by Shaft has piqued my interest. Why should I require a "better" reason to watch something? |
| Personally I don't like mangas as much as I love animes. I don't enjoy comic books either. But if animes had novels I could've enjoy them. It's totally my personal opinion though! |
  |
| I prefer the manga. It's just that they left out a lot of things that could have added to the humor in the anime. Plus episode 2 seems rushed to me. They squeezed 3 chapters in one episode. |
 |
| Both are shit. I read it because I like Shoe, Ruri, reaction faces, sometimes jokes are funny. Not even Shaft with their overused style can make it good. It's Love Hina of this decade but even more plotless. Chitoge - Naru Onodera - Shinobu Tsugumi - Motoko Marika - Mutsumi Imoutoshit of Onadera - Imoutoshit of Keitaro |
|
| I prefer the anime. Manga was fun to read but the way SHAFT animates makes it even better ^w^ |
 |
| Merged two similar topics. |

It's not insincere at all. If someone happens to enjoy Shaft's style or unique take on things why shouldn't they want to watch their shows? Personally, I hate Nisekoi's story because it's generic crap, but I like Shinbou's style, so I like the art, pacing and ridiculous little flourishes he adds. Not to mention that Kana Hanazawa and Kana Asumi are main characters. I'll watch practically anything with them in it as long as it isn't a show for children. |

| I've read the manga since day one I gotta be real frank, I'm really disappointed with the voices actors, Chitoge's voice I kinda got used to since episode 2 and started to accept it and love her voice but the rest I don't think they fit like I imagined from the manga. It's really hard to accept because I don't "feel" it at all. Each time I watch it, even though the view (art, graphics, background and facial expression, etc.) is gorgeous... I can't "feel" the love... I can't really enjoy it like I normally would enjoy an anime... It's really disappointing. The fucking voices don't fit. I might get used to it like the other past experiences I've had but honestly this feels like a whole new level, and I wouldn't be surprised if I don't enjoy it all the way through... |

Whaaaaat? considering Onodera's personality, she's right up Kana Hanazawa's alley. After all Kana also voiced a gazillion characters that's just like Onodera (Manaka, Shiemi, Shiori). As for the anime, I'm actually glad that Shaft is producing it Bakemonogatari style. I don't know why people complain about it but I think it gives a new dimension to the story. The manga is of course very entertaining in its own right but the anime also stands out from the manga thanks to the animation style. It's really too bad they won't be able to adapt a good portion of the manga. As far as romcom anime goes, Nisekoi is good but not great... yet. It has only been 2 episodes so it wouldn't be fair to judge. Imo so far it hasn't been as entertaining as say, Lovely Complex or Kimi ni Todoke, but it may reach that level with further viewing. No, I'm sure it will be right up there once Tsugumi appears ^_^ |

| I prefer manga. SHAFT's animation style doesn't work that well with Nisekoi's theme imo. |

They squeezed 3 chapters in one episode. From someone who made Chitoge, the anime version, an avatar... -.- I think they did an amazing job though by connecting all 3 chapters instead of making fillers which would be very very bad. The anime is better I made the anime version of Chitoge as my avatar because I like her and making a character from a manga as an avatar would look pretty lifeless. And I just said I prefer the manga. Doesn't mean that I don't like the anime. I like both but for me the manga is more enjoyable |

| hmm its so difficult!!! haha :3 shaft has done a great job with the adaptation buy not really detail like the manga.. but the manga really love it.. ah yes I will say this.. I will prefer the adaptation.. .. IF! |

I prefer the manga because Shaft's style didn't give the same impression as the mangaka's style. It disturbed me at the beginning but I'm getting used to it. But it's not because I like the manga better that I don't enjoy the anime at all. It's actually one of the shows I'm looking forward the most each week. (but still, its score is 8.06. That's just my opinion but I think it's a tiny bit too high) |

| I appreciate that Shaft's style is fresh and creative which makes Nisekoi stand out from the massive collections of romcoms and harems out there. Problem with this, I find, is that Shaft's style has a more sophisticated and intelligent (as in more thought provoking) feel which does not match Nisekoi's lightheartedness. Makes me feel that the anime is trying to be more than your run of the mill romcom which is not true. Nisekoi is the average romcom but that's its charm. By trying to make it appear more, the anime comes off as fake. Say as you like, I just can't help but constantly think why is this scene being more dramatic than it needs to be or why waste so much time emphasizing a spoken phrase when it doesn't hold much meaning, when it comes down to it? |
| I was not going to watch the anime because I am reading the manga, but I am liking the anime. I'm enjoying the animation style although it always reminds me of Monogatari and I really hope that there is an original anime episode. As to which one I like better, I guess I will have to wait till the end, but if they anime the chapters with Kirisaki's mom, I think I will go with the anime! |

I know the different between the manga and the adaptation.. they are completely different.. but for me.. both are cool.. I love them both :3 .. *because shaft's style is really interesting.. and I love it :p* but yes.. I know why some preferring the manga than the adaptation... both style are completely different.. some like "normal" style like the manga.. and some like "weird" style like the adaptation that shaft made, that some of them like it because they really like it or just dont really mind with it.. :3 so I can understand it hoho :3 CMIIW hmm original ending? I think shaft cant do that.. because in the manga the true girl still unknown.. if shaft do that, then I wonder what will happen with the manga.. :/ my prediction is they will adapt it until the arc where they are having school trip together.. hmm.. but the onsen scene I wonder how its gonna be XD just cant get enough until I see tsugumi XD *sorry for bad language.. really not good in english >< (())* |
| alltho i like the story of manga better i find it relaxing to watch anime so i tend to do a lot of both. well i am starting to read more manga. |
| anime with cute girls is my thing. |

I still think its not gonna be good.. because even in the manga.. the true girl still unknown yet.. they just know 1 piece of memory... but well if you think its gonna be great then so be it.. :3 |
