I've been drawn into more manga than I have Anime.
Letting the stories have an open amount of time and less interferance from sponsors lets manga creators remain more true to the original idea.
When anime is done right, I can't ask for more. Unfortunately, so much anime leaves so much to be desired.
For titles that have made the transition between mediums here's my opinions on the one's I've seen
Area 88 - Fantastic manga / hollow anime
Lone Wolf & Cub - Incredible manga / decent movies
Golgo 13 - close call between the manga and anime
Crying Freeman - Excellent manga / first episode rocked then big downhill
Nausicaa - Amazing manga / Great movie but not as deep as the manga
Memories - Decent manga / Amazing Movie
Berserk - Wonderful manga / Great anime but not enough of the story
Sanctuary - One of the best manga ever written / weak and shallow anime
Overall, I'd rather read the manga.
If it can be done right and finish the story, I'd rather see the anime.
The other thing is manga is way more portable, doesn't need power, less expensive, and has a greater variety than anime.
