anime or manga?

[Andromeda18_]

Yeh it does depend... Usually on what order they were made in. If the anime came first I would probably just watch the anime unless I really loved the series but seeing as most anime start out as manga, the manga is usually better and more detailed or has less filler. The Evangelion manga is offering up a 'different perspective' on the anime aswell so you almost get to see a series from all angles when you see both. I also use manga as a way of checking if I like a series before I buy the anime. Series that I love, I buy both... I'm buying all the Maison Ikkoku Editors Choice editions to replace all my old comic style versions, my favorite manga EVER!

I agree with Gubi-gubi, it really depends. But in a general way I like manga better than anime but that's because I really like reading. There are quite a few anime series I like better than the manga, like Ranma 1/2.
