I don't really read much manga, but the only manga I collect is One Piece.. It's way more better in manga than in anime. Also I have read Death Note and I liked it very much, don't know what it's like in anime so can't really say if it's better that way. Naruto is also better in manga, you don't have to hear those annoying opening themes and some bad voice actors. Dragon ball series are good no matter if you read them or watch them so I don't have anything bad to say about them. Guess that's all. Bye.

Majority of the time I love the manga more than the anime.  Like Ouran, Yami no Matsuei, Pet Shop of Horrors, and Black Butler.  One though I like the anime better than the manga is King of Bandits Jing.  In the anime Jing is swave and kind also there is postino.  The manga Jing is a real jerk and there is no postino!! *Sob*  One though I like both the anime and manga which is Slayers both versions have wonderful things to offer.

I enjoy reading manga more than watching anime about 80% of the time. Most anime is just a show version of the manga. Because of this they have to change some of the content of the manga. Just like movies based on books. An example is censorship, blood, gestures and dismembered limbs.

The manga are what the creator wants to tell their audience. Anime still does a good job of telling what the author's story, but some of the magic is lost. Filler for example. The main reason for fillers are for the manga to get further ahead. Granted some filler do enhance the story but most of the time, it really doesn't. It is also interesting to see the hand drawn pictures, even if they were drawn on a computer. The amount of detail can be amazing.

Anime does have its advantages. It's animated. Its not just still pictures with word bubbles. With manga you need to change every page but with anime all you need to do is press play. Its colored, most manga are not in color because of printing cost.

I generally like the anime more, but there are some series such as Eyeshiled 21 where I prefer the manga. Both sides have their own pros and cons, but it depends on the series to determine which has more effect.

I like both of them but for a reason usally the anime adaption is not meant to follow the manga so its almost two seperate thing all together. So that really doesn't make them that bad 

I honestly do not read enough Manga to know if I prefer one or the other, though my general sentiment is that I prefer the Anime adaptations over the original material. From what I have seen, it usually has been drawn directly from the Manga and has not strayed very far from the source (I hope/Have no idea what I am talking about here). As for Elfen Lied, I still have to read the Manga, and I loved the Anime, not sure what to expect, though I did hear that it was better, and covered up the end of the Anime (which seemed like they really should have continued the Anime from there). I'm not really sure overall, though it feels like I am immersed and truly feel the characters when I can see them moving and acting on the screen, and with a voice. Not having a voice takes a lot of the feeling out of each character, I feel. So I suppose that I lean more towards Anime, but don't get me wrong, I still enjoy Manga.
