 Post subject: Manga or Anime
PostPosted: February 19th, 2008, 9:49 am 


I didn't know whwre to fit this, but I think that....here it will be fine..if not, I'm sorry ToT It was too hard to schose!!
Anyways getting onto the main thing...I wanted to know for all those anime and manga lovers out there, which one was their fav, whether they liked anime or manga etter, or if maybe, they liked the manga but not the anime or backwards. Get me?
I think that the manga is always better becauuse in the anime they always change stuff around or maybe the animation it self or art isnt as good as it should be. >_>;;

For me it's Anime. Purely on the basis I can't afford to buy all the Mangas, but I can watch fansubs and later buy the dvd(s). I tried reading Manga online, but I found it quite awkward and prefer to have something in my hands when reading books/comics ect.

My fave anime definetly goes to Bleach.
Other series I loved: Cowboy Bebop, Monster, Death Note, Ergo Proxy, Samurai Champloo, Neon Genesis Evangelion...to name just a few.

I'm ignorant... very ignorant.. if you can bear with me you might even be so kind to answer this tedious question:
What's the difference bewteen anime and manga?
The difference between books and movie or the style?

Anime is an animated show. Manga is a comic book, 99% of the time the Anime are based on Manga.

The look of Manga is for the most part copied directly to the Anime.
Anime tends to make a lot of changes to the stories, rather than the artwork.

It's a toss up... I like them both alot... but i'd have to say I like anime better. Like Phoenix said, mangas are so exspensive to buy the whole set, I'd be broke if I did!

You're welcome.
There's such a wide variety of styles, I'm sure there'll be something you'll enjoy.

I've never bought any of it. I got interested in Sailor Moon several years ago, I think when some friends introduced me to it.

I prefer the Manga- or rather, the Manga artwork. It's absolutely beautiful. Anime is a cartoon.

I like both. I don't buy manga, because as the others mentioned, it's too costly. I prefer to read it online. And then, there's the anime, I either buy dvds or watch the episodes online.

I mainly read/watch:
Bleach, Naruto, Sailor Moon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Fruits Basket, Samurai X.
