I wouldn't really pick between an Anime and a Manga. As noted anime are produced slower than a manga but I would say that its wort the wait. but some anime in my opinion are just best read as a manga.

Personally, I would like to watch anime. That’s my personal preference. I read manga when the series does not have any action episodes. I feel one can truly enjoy action sequences in anime rather than manga. But manga is way better in terms of progression of the story and takes less time to finish the scenes. The anime version usually prolongs a simple scene as well. They stretch the scene for many episodes. Also, one has to deal with a lot of fillers in between. The fillers sometimes come during the most intense moments in the plot. Some anime series have way too many filler episodes. Example: Naruto. Though One piece has way too many episodes, they have less fillers in comparison to Naruto, but then they stretch the plot for way too many episodes.

Both have unique charms. Anime brings stories to life with visuals and sound, while manga allows for a more intimate connection with the narrative. It's like choosing between two different yet equally captivating art forms.

It may seem paradoxical, but I’m not too fond of manga. My love for books does not extend to manga. In this area specifically, I prefer watching anime’s than reading manga.

I would say that I think I love both. It's hard for me to decide because the quality varies, but if I had to pick, I'd go for the latter.

That's a tuff question. I love anime because I can physically see what is going on, but Manga usually holds more details and can last longer than the anime series.

I enjoy anime more because the animation is better and easier go understand.But i have found recently that I can focus better while reading a manga than watching anime.

I love both, and it's hard to choose. But I love the fact that manga opens my mind in a different way, as you read some of the original ones from right to left instead of the standard left to right. Just forces you to pay more attention!

I enjoy both Anime and manga but I Started reading manga way before I started anime, so if I'm watching any new anime and find its manga adaptation I'm likely to finish the manga more than the anime. I don't have patience so if I know any anime is adapted from manga I will read the whole manga before watching the anime.

Personally I prefer watching anime as I usually tend to put them on while I'm doing something else and it'll play in the background where as if I wanna read manga I'll have to make time for it. :eusa-think:

I enjoy both equally. I think its good to look at the original work because the anime sometimes cuts out a lot of the details. I also get impatient waiting for the next episode if it's real good so I just go right to the manga.
