Mrvuk64 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Anime first if it interests me i will usually star reading the manga because i cant stand filler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leorui Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Anime first, because I feel it's easier to catch a glimpse of the characters and story in 20 minutes than it is in 20 pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Manga is a lot easier for me to digest in a quicker span of time than anime series, so I tend to go with that medium most of the time, but I don't overwhelmingly lean toward manga or anime first since it can depend on the series. For example, I saw all of FMA 2003 years before I read the manga, which in turn I decided to read before watching Brotherhood due to the latter's rushed pacing and inferior comedic timing.

MeteorD Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 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).

Enigma Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I used to read manga long ago before the animes came out. Sometimes I saw an anime and checked out the manga later. Now I stick to the anime, occasionally checking wiki entries to see what I'm missing from the mangas. That is if I care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumby Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) I prefer to stay surprised while watching anime so I will never read the manga first. To me it's like being spoiled if I were to watch the anime after reading the manga. I do usually read older mangas that have ended that are not likely going to get animated.

Grundy Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Anime first and if I liked it sometimes I buy the manga series . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanis Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Sometimes I find out about the anime first, sometimes I find out about the manga first. I usually try and read the manga first. If I like the manga, I'll usually like the anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanzor Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I Watch the Anime first if it is full-fledged and complete (not like TG). I read the Manga first otherwise. Else I look for content in the Anime but not in the Manga, Vice versa, then read/watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeLover Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I find that reading the manga has much more context than the anime and i watch the anime for the flued developement of the story.. But either way, i enjoy them both for their merits.. i always watch the anime 1st though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
