Reading Mangas usually needs more imagination to comprehend, but they don't contain fillers *cough* Naruto/BLEACH *cough* like the Anime Series do...

Which do you prefer? Vote on the poll!

definitely manga..... it contains more details int he story where an anime leaves out some things. but i gotta say.... anime has much better drawings

Actually that depends.. stuff that are like 3 million episodes long like Bleach and Naruto have DRASTIC changes in their art from time to time...

Ah, but the anime does have the background music and awesome soundtracks.. I don't know many that could a have a different tune in their head for each character/manga.

Depends, really. With the Manga, the author can go all out and throw in as much detail as he/she wants to flesh out the story. Where as with an anime series, it's usually 24 episodes and that's it, unless you can snag a second season or two.

One example is the Le Chevalier D'Eon manga/anime. The manga takes on a much more gothic tone (Marilyn Manson cameos at one point), and is much more bloodier and violent than the series. Much of the political exposition that the anime dives into is rejected in the manga series, and instead we get mutant lizard/humans, Lia crucified on a cross, and as noted above, much more violence than the anime ever went near.

As for the anime itself, it feels more as a "What if?" in which it explores the root causes of the French Revolution, and throws in the Poets and Psalms as a way to explain the down fall of the French Monarchy. This in turn, changes Chevalier into a totally different beast, one that more geared towards the political exposes of the 18th century, than the bloody, gothic violence of the manga.

Since I started reading the manga, it's sorta made me wonder if converting the manga to anime would have been a better choice. It probably would of certainly gotten more fans interested in the show. I guess it's one of those things we can only speculate about.

wow. that is so detailed. well explained!

you need to post your emoicons phoenix!!


EDIT: nevermind XD if you go to preview, it's there XD


Do Not Double Post - Phoenix

I pefer the anime...Only because It's easier to get an idea of a drool-worthy guy looks like... Now that long message drives me away...

soari if you click POST REPLY rather than using the Quick Reply box, you'll see the emoticons, amongst other options...

PLEASE DO NOT DOUBLE POST. EDIT YOUR LAST POST INSTEAD.


Ah another thing with anime - younger audiences are more attracted to watching than reading sadly...

He did a double? O_o Didn't notice. *puts on dunce hat and sits in corner* TT_____TT


It's not that I dislike reading it's that I dont have time to go to a bookestore and read/buy it. My laptop rejects downloading manga too...

WRONG. Japan has been sending its complaints to America to somehow stop these fansubbers from destroying their industry. If this keeps up, we'll be depending on the UK to fansub...

Personally I think their sales come in merchandise but what would I know...?

I like both..but theres no voteing option for that now is there master? *slumps down in chair and pouts* and you would know because your like a bussines person or something....*thinks what phoenix would look like in a suit*....*drools* rofl

What's business have to do with this?

And where does your mind wander off to young man?

You study bussines correct? So sales involve bussines right? And my minds wanders into what I call my "happy place" and sometimes it wanders into the deepest pits of hell and teenage hormones..

Dude can you at least think gross about people your own age? I don't think of guys in their 20's unless they are from an anime or someone like Gackt, from the GazettE,ect

ya im pro anime...mostly cuz i cant get my hands on any good manga ....but im sure if i could anctuly get some good manga then i might change my mind .
