Which do you prefer anime or manga version?

I like wichever came first. So if I read Bleach, I'd like it better than the anime, because there're no fillers XD

but for Code Geass and a few others, the anime came first, so no fillers, meaning I like it better.

i prefer anime, though i read manga i still want to see the real action and how the creator portray the exact movements of the character... unlike in manga you cannot appreciate the movements that much. but in terms of the story indeed manga has a detailed story, and you can surely make understand the plot...
actually both have advantages and disadvantages to make their products a best selling. what do you think if anime has all the good feature, will the manga would be salable? i don't think so.... hehehe

If the series has more actions involved, I guess I have to see it animated. For story wise, I really prefer the manga. I mean, there are just some things that mangas can present unlike the animation which often runs into alterations, prohibitions due to conforming for general consumption of viewers, but, those are the case when the anime comes from the manga. Vandread is an example of a series which started with the anime and later on followed with a manga counterpart.

The manga counter part of Vandread explores more things that the anime series didn't show, even though the animation was the first thing between the two.

I guess I still have to stick to manga, either way who ever started the series, be manga based anime or anime based manga. Some things just get more shown on manga than in the animated version which often goes with alterations with multiple reason.

if it's completeness of the story, i'll choose the manga version. it's great actualy to watch anime because you can see the manga characters come to life.

i'm not an avid fan of manga so i prefer anime because i love to watch them come to life rather than just reading them

I like both as they reinforce one another. Although,I tend to watch anime than read the manga (more to add to the list of my unread items).:D I agree with you on Fruits Basket (Akito Sohma is my favourite character, so I like her ending in the manga better).

Most of the time I like manga better, because you can imagine your own voices for the characters. xD
But sometimes I like anime better for it's music and the comedy in it.

Hi kylie,well both have advantages and drawbacks
i prefer the manga version because it is the "official "manga(written by the mangaka).Plus it is a lot faster to follow and read than the anime version
i only consider the anime version as a plus.Everything you need to know about the manga serie is in the manga version.Anime is only for people who like to watch videos,or want to see the manga in colour.
Furthermore,some anime can really be annoying with their fillers such as naruto(i completely stopped watching the anime because of them) and others don't follow the storyline at all!like samurai deeper kyo or full metal alchemist....
Well,i hope that answers your question:)
see ya.

i wil go 4 manga
