Regarding big animes like naruto, one piece, bleach or dragon ball, i always get the idea that people prefer the anime more because it usually follows the manga plot pretty closely with the exception of some filler here and there.

 

But on other smaller series, from what ive read, they always cut the good stuff, get some filler stories in the middle that don't have jack to do with the main story and usually just soften up everything so the kids don't go crying to their moms or something. Mangas are usually more harsh in various ways IMO, and i thing that's a good thing.

Whilst ignoring the obvious advantages animation has over single frame pictures...... :-/ In Naruto for example it's sometimes really quite hard to work out what Kishimoto intended to be going on. Anime (usually) clears this up.

 

Oh and one of the most important things imo that watching anime brings is music/sound which I think enhances the atmosphere too much to miss out on really. =P

 

It's similar to those who prefere books over movies.... There is no real right or wrong imo.

 

Oh and people who prefere manga tend to prefere manga when it comes to big series as well.. Anime draws stuff out a lot and a lot of people generally prefere the art in manga.....

I found that to be the case with for a lot of my mates who hadn't seen the anime, for those who had we had to explain what was going on. The whole music point you made is another reason that anime's tend to have a bit more atmosphere at least over the manga.

 

Also on a side note just wanted to see if anyone knew or heard when the next Tales of Symphonia episode is out.

I agree with you wholly :) Although probably even more so on your first point, because I actually find manga quite hard to follow. One of the worst I've had for that was the battles in Trigun. I honestly couldn't follow it most of the time.

 

A lot of the time people just stick with what they started on. If you start a series on the manga some people get a bit elitist and think they're better than the anime fans.

 

As for music/sfx, definitely with you on that point. Most shonen wouldn't be the same without their epic soundtracks. Voices too! Using Bleach as an example, I didn't get the same chilling feeling from "BAN KAI" without a voice behind it :)

The first paragraph I agree with. I read the FLCL manga and it was really hard to follow. It was just a load of lines and such. It looked good but half the time it was so hard to see what was happening.

It actually has some story in there.

But the manga is VERY different from the anime, they're not exactly the same story.

 

I know the manga has a story, infact I've read the first volume. But what I tried to imply was that the story is so incoherent that it wouldn't matter whether you got it or not.

That's my point. It's not incoherent. It's certainly not the best story ever, the focus is comedy, but it does has a story.
