I still prefer manga. Anime is getting better over years. Sometimes, some episode of anime is getting sloppy, sometimes they shring too many chapters of manga into one episode, sometimes it add stupid stories into the anime which never mentionned in manga. Japan will push the anime 2D art to the top while America will aiming all cartoon into 3D. It will be interesting to see the result of 2 different philosophy.

Hmm... i was skeptical bout mangas, not being a fan of comics really, but I had the anime of Love Hina, and i found the manga on this site, so i decided to check it out, since then, i've changed my opinion bout mangas, they absolutly rock! I recon manga's are better than anime's, since anime's usually cut a heck of a lot out!

Mangas are better! They go more in depth and provide a better understanding to the story. In anime sometimes they change things around so much that they actually distort the characters' personalities. They add stuff that never happened in the manga and leave out/change stuff that is just petty and wouldn't cost them anything to get their facts right. It upsets me...
