I would say anime, but some anime doesn't really touch the themes that manga has. I mean it's good with the dramatic effects, but just not the same. So therefore manga XD

Im definitely a huge fan of manga however they are so short i can read them in less than an hour then i have to go buy or find the next.....i prefer anime mainly cuz its easier to find online

You can find mangas just as easily online and they're easier to download. ^__^

PM me if you want sites.

Bow down to the all knowing Phoenix.

Yeah, that'll be the first thing that I would do

i prefer anime (considering the fact that i've never read a manga).

but, i do love subbed anime more. the only dubbed anime that i like is Full Metal Alchemist and maybe Bleach.

i think they did a good job dubbing FMA. i think it was better than the subbed version.

Yuske, read a manga. It's good for your eyes

I agree with the easier to find mangas. *nods*

Though I agree with the FMA being well dubbed. I thought Fruits Basket was as well, except Momiji should've had a German accent. They are rare that I actually prefer the dubbed, but a few exist!

Blood+ had terrible dubbs and the accents made my ears bleed.

yeah, they ruined a perfect anime, didn't Salomon have the same voice as Kakashi, the same guy, be original a bit...

US dubbing uses a lot of the same voice actors. I can usually recognize Chris Sabat, Crispin Freeman, Greg Ayres...the list goes on. Some are very adept at changing their voice enough that it isn't immediately noticable, but they often have a set of voice actors for each company has their standard veterans.

I prefer anime simply because I like the motion and don't think manga can always get things like fight scenes across as well. I also like to hear the characters voices instead of constantly having to wonder what they sound like, though it is fun to do that with manga sometimes. It's a hard question to answer though since I enjoy both.

I really love Manga but I chose Anime cause I've watched a lot more of them than I've read manga.

Ever read Battle Angel Alita or Domu or Akira? Those mangas are action-packed with some of the best panel work I've ever seen. Not to mention some of the best fighting moves I've every enjoyed. Especially B.A.A.

I continue to enjoy manga greatly over anime. The art is better, the storylines have less fillings, I can imagine the voices, and I like how I can enjoy it anywhere I go. Comics and books in general will always be a bigger alternative for me. I enjoy the richer beauty of graphic novels usually and usually determine what to pick based on the storyline AND the artistic style... I look to comics for inspiration.

I will have to say I like the manga better... just because of story lines being in fuller details, and the art... sometimes that is what gets me into a story..

But every once in a while watching anime is good too..
