Anime or manga? (2 Viewers)

[blueberries]

Do you prefer to watch anime or read manga?

I think I have seen quite few manga lovers here, but personally I just watch anime lot more than I read manga and I just prefer watching stuff over reading- even if I think lot of animes are actually better as mangas like One Piece. Weird how that works.

[Yseki]

Anime

 

[Soleski]

Anime all the way! I simply love the animation, the japanese dub and the songs as well

I only read manga when they don't continue the anime (like Akatsuki no yona, Kuroshitsuji)

and I read Berserk because a lot of people said that the anime sucks

can someone please continue akatsuki no yona

 

[Darkyoda47]

Depends on the genre tbh.
For example, I like to watch action/thriller/mystery anime. But, I like to read romance/slice of life manga.

 

[baekk]

I like mangas, I'm probably the only one that does like them

 

[kodoku]

I like both but to me anime is like manga come alive... the beautiful voice acting and music really bring out the emotion

 

[Mangoey]

If I can get a physical copy, I read the manga because there's more content and the anime usually changes things.

I don't usually go out of my way to get physical copies though and I hate reading things electronically, so typically, I just stick to anime.

Animation can really add to series when it's done well, you get the voice acting, fight scenes have fluid movement, great OSTs.. Not that mangas aren't great, but anime can really bring out best of manga.

Mostly same for me, like I have been reading Akayona too since I couldn't wait until next season that is still not announced and I heard the manga goes lot further in the story- and it does I think the anime is only like 50 first chapters and manga is now over 150. And the story has only gotten better. I would really love the anime to continue though, to see some of my fav plot points animated :llama_noooo:

I also feel like I need to pick up Houseki no Kuni manga soon too, since there hasn't yet been any announcement of second season and I have heard lot of plottwist and shocking stuff happens in the manga, i feel like I'm missing out..

Anime for catching up on series with 250+ episodes
Manga to stay up to date, see translation notes, & experience stories as they were intentionally written.

Full offense, the Akagami no Shirayukihime anime is DISGUSTING. Skip Beat's anime also doesn't bring justice to the manga.

i love anime for the music and how it brings the story to life, but i prefer manga for some reason? idk

[Emanresu]

Anime.

I prefer stories being told through audio/visual formats (film/animation) or the written word (novels).

While I appreciate the artistry of still artwork combined with limited wording (comics/mangas) to tell a story... It just doesn't hold the same magic for me personally that film or anime mediums provide.

 

[Emanresu]

and I read Berserk because a lot of people said that the anime sucks

The 1997 Bersker anime is one of my favorite pieces of art of any medium.

Despite it's rough animation and peculiarities.

It aspires to be so much more than mere brutal action anime.

The score in particular ascends.

I think it's a masterpiece.



I'd recommend giving it a chance.

I like both, but I prefer to watch anime. I prefer to watch things rather than reading them (if that even makes sense).

Both

Anime. There's something amazing about seeing your show live in color and in motion. With sports, you get more drawn into it. With romance, their are nuances with the voices and facial and body movements that convey more in motion. Horror, Action, Slice of Life -- letting it unfold before you is very pleasurable.

Manga. There are many manga that don't get converted to anime (i.e., Cesare, Vinland Saga). Also, many times the anime adaptation is not true to form with the manga (i.e., The Morose Mononokean, Kuroshitsuji). Depending on the series, the manga may offer "more" (whereas by contrast, many times the "extras" in anime are humorous filler episodes). Again, depending on the series. I've seen some anime that have gone more into character development in their "filler/humorous" episodes, which fanfiction lovers like myself enjoy. Also, THE MANGA IS USUALLY WAY AHEAD OF THE ANIME SO YEAH THAT'S A PREFERENCE. I just started watching The Rise of the Shield Hero upon your recommendation and IMMEDIATELY RAN TO THE MANGA when I ran out of episodes (because I want to kill a specific character and you know exactly who I mean).

So I like both for different reasons... Typically with sports, horror, and music-centered genres, I like to watch anime. I like to consume both anime and manga when it comes to romance, high action shounen, and slice-of-life shows. For historical dramas and shows that aren't fully fleshed out in the anime version, I prefer manga.

Good anime adaption can be superior to manga, but yep there is many that aren't that good or make too big changes. And for me, lot of my preferance of anime just comes cause I like to watch stuff more than read ^^;

Lol I actually got spoiled about that before too, and I know who you are meaning xd I'm sure that's not only one who would deserve it ^^;
