i technially prefer the manga except for the whole fact its not in color but its funnier. the anime tv series are edited before put on the telivision so you are actually missing about 5-7 minutes of an episode...i prefer the manga...u?

That would just REALLY have to depend on the manga/anime. I like them both honestly. anime because you can get warped into the feelings, the music, the actions, and manga because you get the story, but you don't have to carry the GD tv and dvd with you into the cafe or place where a TV isn't accessable

hmm...manga or anime...both i guess...most anime are based on mangas only they are shortened are change a bit...but sometimes the manga is better since it gives more depth to the story and character...anime gives you the "thrill" of the story (with all those dramatic music and actions and all) without one turning pages...so yea i guess its even for me...

For the most part, manga. Usually, if there is an anime based off of a manga, the manga is better storywise.

Plus, if there are bad dubs for the anime, I don't need to put up with them when reading the manga.

Manga is also a bit more affordable than anime, also.

I love them alike........
As was stated before.....
But sometimes anime tend to twist manga and add or delete characters so they deviate......how arethey going to get over fma i wonder? the story is already separate......

i think your question is to broud for instance some manga series are realy good but when it comes to anime they skrew it up and the other way around but if i had to choose between manga and anime it would be manga at the moment because i havnt been watching all that much anime but my opinion may change if/when i find a good anime series to watch.

Beresrk manga > Berserk anime by far. And Dark Horse screwed up vol 5, so it's around 3 weeks late coming to me...

I like Anime more than Manga, because i don't like to read.
Sometimes the story in the Manga is better than the story in the Anime, because in the Manga are more details.

I notice that sometimes it can make a difference. For example, I think the Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne anime was better than the manga, although the manga explained some really important things. However, the Magic Knight Rayearth manga was DEFINATLY better than the anime, which kinda ruined it.

I guess it all depends on how you like your story told. The manga generally is shorter and has less filler than the anime. HOwever, often the anime is done before the manga is finished, and sometimes the manga-ka won't tell the animators what's going on so they have to make stuff up.

Sometimes TV shows are edited, but all the anime I watch is stuff I buy on dvd which usually isn't edited. But still they always say that the book is better than the movie, so I will have to say the Manga. Although I have more anime series on DVD!
