Depends on whether it's airing or not. If it's finished already, then I usually prefer reading the manga first, and then coming back to the anime if I feel that it's worth it.
When it's airing however, I'd rather just participate in the threads. That is unless every episode ends in an obnoxious cliffhanger that pushes me over the edge to start reading the manga.
Usually it's worth reading the manga of an adaption at some point, I think the only cases in which I can say the anime was better than the manga would be in Genshiken and Gintama (not counting LN adaptations that got a manga after).
do you read manga or watch the anime first?
