Do you prefer manga than anime?

Okay well One Piece is amazing obviously. But if you want something that you probably haven't heard of try Berserk, Tower of God, and Beelzebub. 3 phenomenal manga. Trust me.

Arighty! I'll give them a try. I think I've already seen a preview of Beelzebub (anime) since a friend of mine recommended it to me long time ago. Tower of God looks interesting with its visuals but I'm sensing yaoi with this one. (Am I right?) Hahaha. Not really into that stuff. I prefer yuri   :ahn: . Berserk on the other hand looks very interesting too, but I think I'd go with Beelzebub first.  :steve:

Thanks for the recommendations Guts! 😉

Berserk is unbelievable, it's one of the best out there. Tower of God isn't a yaoi... cmon man, I don't roll that way. It's actually a really good story. As for Beelzebub, I loved it. It was really hilarious, but I wouldn't rate this one as good as the other 2. Just a heads up 😃

For me, Shonen mangas like Bleach, One Piece, Beelzebub, Gintama, Toriko are better in the manga than in the anime because of the reasons I stated before: pacing, originality, artwork, cool factor. I think Shingeki no Kyojin anime is great though and since it is not a traditional shonen battle fantasy with moves and flashy attacks, the difference is not that visible compared to the series I mentioned.

Not all anime is based on manga 🙂 some are original, others based on games, or light novels, or visual novels, etc.

That said, I prefer anime in almost all cases. I like seeing things move, in color, I love the voice acting (Japanese original of course), and I uber love the music.

So for me, anime just is more "entertaining" 🙂

My list of manga I've read is definitely under 50 series - maybe even about half that maybe.

My list of anime series I've seen is getting darn close to 300 series.

Fully depends on the series, some take themselves better in manga than anime. To mention a great example, Fairy Tale (haven't watched a huge amount mind you) becomes too messy in the anime for my eyes, but in the manga, everything seems cleaner and easier to grasp. Another thing I prefer about manga is the lack of fillers and the much more violent imagery. (Looking at you Naruto and Tokyo Ghoul.. >_>)

I personally like Anime more. I did read manga some times but meh

I never tried to even read a manga but after being here and almost everyone recommending it. Well I have to now. I am a book worm but I am use to painting my own world that I never felt like reading a manga would catch my attention. I hope you guys will prove me wrong in the matter. 🙂

Sure enough this question dismisses anime series that don't have manga counterpart or based on games.

That aside, for sure I favor manga a little more. I like the art more. I could swipe through at my own pace. No filler episodes.

Otherwise, I nearly like anime about the same. But, manga I could take to bed with me and read under covers. Anime, not so much - because I can accidentally pull the headphones out and no longer incognito mode  :noship:

I have always been a anime watcher until recently I was introduced into the manga world. I will still have to decide whether I prefer one over the other. I guess I will have to finish the manga then watch the anime to give my true opinion on this topic. But so far I am enjoying the manga alot more than I usually do with anime.
