Interesting that you decided to search the interwebs looking for a site crawling with otakus to troll then, huh? ¦)

I love both myself. I've found that anime is more censored compared to manga(the anime is usually based off the manga anyway though so eh). Usually the anime is shorter and doesn't cover all of the material(assuming that once again the manga came first) but I enjoy both myself. I enjoy reading and watching the anime and noticing the differences between the two. That being said I do think there are some series where its more enjoyable to watch or read one before the other, i.e. watch Rosario Vampire before reading it for example. RV because of how differently the anime was handled, enjoyable all the same but harder not to nitpick after having read it (in my opinion).

Overall manga in most cases will usually be better due to art skill and the amount of stories you receive. There are more mangas than anime, and a much broader selection of stories. There are many great manga that don't get animes because they're maybe to adult, or just to different. Some added benifits include Lower file space No buffering No annoying voices No terrible music The ability to read faster or slower at your own discretion And a higher chance of the story finishing.

@Dalton_Dark Prince While I do agree with some of what your saying I'm not sure about some of it and others is more of a personal opinion of sorts(granted this whole topic is about our opinions of it anyway). Lower file space? Do you mean as less space taken on one's shelf for manga vs anime? Whether I look at it that way or in a computer sense I still don't quite understand it as a benefit really, comparatively speaking. No buffering, yeah that's better, though I guess you only have that problem if your always streaming. The "annoying voices" are more of a personal opinion. Some may like the voices, some may not and some may only prefer English or Japanese voices. Music.....eh again personal, honestly I probably don't notice it half the time myself, at least on the first go through lol. The reading part, yeah, definitely not have to press rewind like twenty times if you want to see that one part but can hear/understand/catch it is much better not having to do that and just being able to read at your own pace. The last part true and also technicality...depending. True, if the story started as a manga then if the whole "manga" part is not shown then it isn't finished though some anime shows leave it with a good ending without one thinking "may there be more?" even though the manga shows there is.

The manga usually makes it more dramatic the anime, always has some sort of filler or more things to add into words. That is the first common logic in Anime vs. Manga. :)
