Opinions on manga reading

**AnimeJunky** · 07-23-2008, 06:29 AM

I personally can't stand reading manga.I tried reading a couple that I've already watched the anime on(i.e. Elfen Lied & Rosario + Vampire).Manga can't pull out the emotions or reactions like anime can.It has to be in motion with sound.Thats just me though.Whats your opinion?

i like both
cuz most of the time they are different stories
but i think i would rather read the manga then watch the anime
though i also enjoy watching anime
don't know y i like reading it so much

edit: rather the manga books than reading online

I like both, but prefer anime. The dowside to just the anime is that sometimes you miss alot of the story or the anime never finishes the story ie Air Gear and Tsubasa Chronicles

yeah thats one of the reasons y i like manga also
plus i enjoy watching the drawings better than putting pause
idk y though

Manga is alright. Good for a read, and I usually like reading sometimes. Plus the manga includes tons more than the show didn't.

Eh.

yeah thats a thing i don't like about the anime
still like it though
its like a totally different story with same characters

most of the anime come from the manga.. so no manga, no anime

Right
plus inthe most of the Mangas the Story goes on
Take Angel Sanctuary (the Anime ends around Volume 4)or Hunter X Hunter (the Anime ends after Greed Island)as example.

Meh...I believe that 99.9% of the time manga > anime. The author is able to present his vision of the work he created. Some times the pacing of anime adaptions seem so forced because they only have X amount of episodes to tell a story.
