An_Ace_Of_Hearts Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I usually prefer manga because I like to read, and it's just easier for me to process what's going on .3. What do you guys prefer? Link to post Share on other sites
ColeHW34 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Both 😂 Link to post Share on other sites
Karoushi Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 both, but lately I've had more time to read manga than watch anime. Although, if it's a more action based manga, then it would probably be more enjoyable animated. Link to post Share on other sites
Pramana Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I would have to flip a coin to answer this question. Until I joined AVEN I actually didn't even know that there was a difference between anime and manga. Now I consider it essential knowledge for those involved in aro/ace community organizing.

RoseGoesToYale Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Manga for me as well. It's easier to go back and reread things. Plus, I like the drawings more, they're more detailed. Link to post Share on other sites
AmorphousBlob Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Depends on whether I want nice pictures or nice sound. Link to post Share on other sites
Gloomy Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Both for me too. I’ve been reading the Attack on Titan manga because I don’t wanna wait til the next season to find out what happens. Link to post Share on other sites

Karst Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I prefer reading manga, although I don't read as much of it now as I used to. There are a few series I still really enjoy, though. Link to post Share on other sites
TomieRub Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Just like other people said I think both have their qualities, but I think I have a soft spot for anime because of my passion for animation Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Anime or manga? Why must I choose? *starts pulling hair out* They both have so many good points (except for the English dubbing; yikes!), that it's hard to choose... Hmm, I do love reading, so I guess that I would go with manga. It's great for reading on the bus! Link to post Share on other sites

DuskFire Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 There's a few dubs that are pretty good actually like Fullmetal Alchemist and some Studio GHIBLI movies. I like both anime and manga but if I had to pick I'd pick anime. I'm a sucker for music! It can add so much to a story. But manga is wonderful to. I just wish there were manga cafes here in America so it was easier to read them...☹️ Link to post Share on other sites
ColeHW34 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 So far I have read manga such as: Neko ramen, tactics, .hack. And anime like: Sailor moon, death note, seven of seven, nichijou, full metal alchemist and full metal alchemist brotherhood. Then webcomics: I'm pretty sure most of you have heard already. And one visual novel called Lucky penny. Link to post Share on other sites
Ldlelee Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 At this point, probably manga. I haven't been watching much anime lately, as I don't really feel like it, but I still want to read manga. It's strange. Link to post Share on other sites
Fluffy Femme Guy Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Anime. It engages more of my senses. I'm a big music lover too. Link to post Share on other sites
CallaWolf Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Manga, all the way. I've read far more manga than I've seen anime. That's not to say I don't like anime, I have a few anime films that I would probably place in my top 10 favorite films list, no doubt. Saying that, I prefer manga far more, because I like filling in certain gaps (such as character voices and little mannerisms) myself. Plus I like gawking over individual drawn panels that I can take my time with. I love music, like Fluffy Femme stated above, but that's why I have head phones. My iPod and manga tend to work in tandem. Link to post Share on other sites
OtakuAce2004 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I personally read manga a lot more often as it’s a lot more accessible for me. But then I also love anime! Can anyone recommend any good manga as I’m stuck on what to read next? I’m currently into time travel manga, romcom and I’m also a big fan of demon/exorcist based manga! Any ideas?

Enne Kristin Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Both... but no ecchi Link to post Share on other sites

Three Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Why not both! Well, it depends on which one we're talking about, like Tokyo Ghoul manga is a million times better than the anime, but I liked anime Attack on Titan better than the manga Link to post Share on other sites

Madao Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I have always been a manga person. Unless the manga is action-oriented, I don't really watch anime. Link to post Share on other sites
words are futile devices Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I've never read any manga.... well I take that back. There has been one (Spirit Circle). So by default I gotta go with anime. Really want/need to start reading manga, though. Any suggestions on what to read first? 😁 Link to post Share on other sites

pH.bacon Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Both! when I want to learn about hearing English, I watch anime with English dub. Link to post Share on other sites
Spotastic Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I like both, but I generally prefer to read manga. I get more out of the story and can follow things easier by reading and looking at the panels in manga. Although when I do watch anime, I prefer subbed because I watch TV with subtitles anyway, again so I can follow things easier by reading. People always think it's weird that I watch shows with subtitles, though... not that I generally put much stock in what other people think. Link to post Share on other sites
