Tired of every kid out there claiming manga is better even though im 100% positive the only manga he/she reads is the jump. For example nobody knew what the fuck Berserk or Attack on Titan was until the Anime came out!! Get real son you kids are just as bad as the dub haters.

Anime:
- Contains countless images
- Includes Voice
- Animation


Manga:
- 20~30 Images per chapter
- No voice just reading
- No Animation


Anime is the evolution of Manga, of course it would be better.

Anime ~ 20% of material and story, most likely stuck with story falling over since it needs to wait for a new season.

Manga ~ Entire story and side stories to actually understand the entire plot, add more character development, and enjoy the ending.


Argument is as dumb as comparing movies to books.

Edit*

Side note, why not make another stupid poll between english dubs or subs.

Dubs >

who raised this kid from the dead smh thought I buried him under my verbals

I guess this pretty much, but still in comparison i kinda prefer manga over anime due to its convenience. I mean hell its just so much easier to get through the story and actually understand it while reading it, rather than watching the same shit happen in slow-mo for 15-25 minutes with all the recaps/stupid openings etc.

+ so so so much more content for readers if you know what you're looking for

e- but yeah sure i agree some stuff you just have to see animated to get the maximum kicks off it

It is up to a persons preference but I will say that not knowing about a manga before an anime adaptation isn't that bad. The anime for the most part increases a manga popularity and that is why they often make anime to get people into the books and sell more books. Seinen for the most part get horrible anime adaptation so it is way better to check out the manga.

In the end it matters up to preference if they decide to get animation, color, voice acting, etc but end up losing a good a better pacing and being able to read ahead and other stuff then that is their choice.

This is nothing compared to the dub haters btw.

edit: I will say 1 thing about those that mostly follow anime and then when a new show starts and it has a lot of chapters that they can't wait and then they catch up overnight or over a few sittings and then afterwards complain about nothing happening in the newest chapter coming out days/weeks later and saying how it has horrible pacing. All the new Attack on Titan manga fans are probably people that started reading it after the anime came out that would mean since they caught up 2-3 months ago that means they have had to wait 1 month per each of those chapters. They have not had to wait for months and months of wait and get used to the pacing the manga actually is and other stuff and then they start complaining about how nothing is happening, how the chapter is a waste, etc. Those people's opinion don't really matter to me since they just marathoned 4-5 years worth of content in around a day. Not saying everyone is that way but yea......w/e

So yea Anime adaptations of manga/lightnovels are made to get people into the manga/lightnovel so they can sell more. I voted for manga but whatever came out first is most of the time better than the adaptation doesn't matter if that was anime, manga, or a lightnovel.

Manga is better end of topic.

The weekly jump only has 2-4 good mangas now days. All the good one's come from the Dragon Jump which is (using ur examples) where Berserk or Attack on Titan come from. Everyone who reads manga know this. You are either new to Anime/Manga or don't know shit.

i just prefer watching it.
sometimes they have great opening intro music

Well... anime is better for me. I prefer to watch moving image and listen to amazing music and quite often end up crying at certain scenes because of the atmosphere anime can create.

Hope that sums it up for people.
