Anime or Manga v. 2
« on: April 09 2005, 07:02 am »
-^^- I started this in CCS board, but now I am asking in general. I'd have to say Manga. It is easier to buy, and you can take it anywhere. Plus, sometimes I think that they change too much from the manga.

ooooh, this is a toughie *thinks hard*

I'd have to say Anime, since it has music and colour and they're moving around. I like manga to, especially since an anime is always based on the manga. But then I would like manga more....I just confused my self >.<

I guess it depends what type of manga, and how good the anime interpertes it, I think that's the best answer ^_^

Manga. Why? Because it is more transportable. You can take it here there and everywhere. And sometimes anime is cut to fit in everything. Though sometimes I prefer anime. But I must say manga overall.

i think it really depends on which aniem or manga were talking about. if its an anime that thrives on great voice acting, music, story and cinematics then it can be truly rewarding. plus it can maybe take the element of excitment up a notch with atmosphere sights and sounds that we can actually hear, not read.
and yea manga is great because of the storylines (thats what its all come down to basically anyway, if it has a bad story you won't want anything to do with it right ?) and some manga has truly amazing artwork. the best things about manga is that if there is an anime counterpart, the manga is probably better (perfect example, Love Hina. Amazingly great and funny Manga. Anime wasn't as good)

So i think i'd Choose Manga... or am i hypocrit for putting more better things about anime ?
i guess to get anime is easier where i am. Manga is a hard thing to find in my town >.>

Ack... :confused:  Anime or manga...? I like them both, but I would have to go with manga because most anime are based on manga and the manga is the original :tongue:

While there are times where I prefer the anime version of a series over the manga version (like with CCS), in general I prefer manga over anime.  The stories, characters, artwork, and pacing are almost always better in the manga version.  Manga is very portable, so you can take it wherever you go and it's a lot cheaper than anime, too!  Most anime DVDs usually cost around $30, but you can buy manga for as low as $7 and that's a great deal if you ask me for such great series!  Also, with manga you don't have to deal with so much censorship or those dub vs. sub wars like you do with anime.
When her leathery, crow-footed face turned towards my raised hand and said, “Yes, the boy in the Sailor Mercury t-shirt,” I sprung into action. It took me a brief 20 seconds to acquire the bokken (wooden sword) I had secured to the underside of our chairs with duct tape the night previous. Shouting “Japan BANZAIII!” in the manner of those noble kamikaze pilots from the War of United States Aggression (so tactlessly referred to in your history books as “World War II”), I charged the stage, bringing down the bokken forcefully onto the plywood table in front of Tiffany Grant. It was a tragic mistake not to channel my ki correctly. The bokken splintered into a thousand pieces, leaving me with no other plan of attack besides shouting, “You’re no Asuka!” as two Ohayocon toughs escorted me out of the room-SomethingAwful.com

Have to go with the manga. They tend to be more informative with information and small details than their anime counterparts  :wink:
