What's the most important for a manga/anime?
What's the thing that makes you feel keen on reading a manga or watching an anime?

As for me, I think it's a combination of all the above.

What about you?

I would say the best characters are the most important thing for an anime. I always love associating myself with the characters, and if there isn't one that I love in an anime, then I tend to... not watch it.

A good manga and anime must have all of those or it won't be very good so therefore I say it needs all of them.

A good Anime has amazing art, interesting characters, and a easy to grasp story line. That makes it easier for a person to get into the Anime.

It has to be the plot, its the most crucial part to me, and without it the entire thing would seem !"$$£%£%" to me.
But characters, voice actors etc are all good bonus's.

I would say a mixture of them all. I absolutely hate seeing stereotypical artwork, characters, plot, and without nothing special that it adds to the genre. In a way originality prevails but it is nothing without a solid set of characters behind it and I HATES seeing the prototypical archetypes in a manga/anime. 

I believe in order for a manga to be good it needs to have all subjects stated because if you leave one of the subjects out it feels as though the manga is missing something

It needs pretty much everything stated above. Without having a well made storyline, plot, characters, and artwork, the anime just isn't quite as interesting as it should be. And it would not be able to live up to its full potential.

For me it is all of the above, but it has to be an original all of the above. I do not like it if it has good un-original art. That turns me off to the manga or the anime.

Manga: Decent art Good story Original Good character line up
Anime: Decent art Good story Original Good character line up + Great animation. People say it's not about the animation, it's about the story but if the animation is bad or practically non-existent (I.E most episodes of naruto. freeze frames [ )Then there's no point in it being and animation. It may as well just be a manga.

DeltaEdge : You have a good point about the animation. I also agree that a bad animation is kind of annoying
If this poll was for anime only, I would add this option too, since you've mentioned it. But it's both for manga and anime, so I'll just leave it as it is.

That's a tough call.

Generally it's good to have a strong balance of traits, and having one particularly strong strand may make up for a weakness in another department.

For example, one manga I read I started reading for a single character alone. The character is fantastic, though the plot is somewhat lacking.

Other times, the characters are sub par and unremarkable, but the plot is so gripping that despite the lack of care for the characters, I can't put the book / remote down until I figure out what happens.

Art style is highly subjective, and it can definitely be a turn off even if the story is top notch, but it can also be the thing that first grabs your attention. However, art style for me isn't what keeps me reading, so I don't hold it as high as the other two.

A masterpiece manga/anime will have fantastic everything, though just because it doesn't have it all doesn't mean it isn't worth reading or watching.

I think the most important thing in an anime or manga is the story and its characters. The story has to be simple and innovative, but not complex and the characters have to be unique in different ways (looks, attitude, etc) and a little humor is also good too

I'd say both the characters and the plot. Art has something to do with it, but it doesn't make an overall difference though. Take code geass for example, the plot was amazing; if Lelouch was a bunny rabbit though, then the whole thing would be an epic fail. XD

A good anime or manga needs all of the above, good art would be nice, interesting characters with personality, a good plot that actually goes somewhere with the story, and it needs its own idea, or originality, nobody wants to see a spinoff of another anime only with slightly different appearances.

Well I picked all for anime. I'm a bit picky when it comes to me being drawn into a particular anime. This may sound close-minded but if an anime has a really good story, but sub par animation, then I won't watch it. I'm sorry but I can't take an anime seriously if the artwork is crappy. The characters have to be interesting and not annoying. The story has to be at least good (it doesn't have to be at a best-seller novel level). The plot can't be too confusing to the point where it makes me go "Wtf" and I'm forced to go online to find out exactly what's going on.
