What caught your eye at the start, the manga comics or the anime series? What's keeping you glued now?

At first I liked anime better, but than I started to read manga. I think that manga is better because there are more details and it tells everything that happened. Also, there is not very much fillers in manga, and I strongly dislike fillers.

hmmm. I confuse ^^. But I Ithink anime is better because i can hear a character voice and can "feel" a expression of a character.

Of course, the most immediate media would be television so I could say that I was first caught with the anime that they get to show on tv. However, I find that some details are either left from the manga and some details are further added or slightly altered in the anime. So far, I've prefer mangas than animes ^_^

At first, I like the anime before the manga became popular. I am too lazy to read the comics and to browse from one page to another. I use to net to read manga by the way. Also, the anime is more thrilling and more action-packed than the manga series simply because it is animated. Though, some parts of the manga can't be found in the anime series, the animation still brings up the story more. I sometimes read manga nowadays but not the ones that I expect or my favorite anime. The manga is a huge spoiler! It is more exciting to just wait for the anime to release than to read ahead in the manga. The ones I read are those which does not have an animation yet. Hope they'll soon be animated so I can just watch.

Definately the anime. I'm way too far behind with the manga. But I'd probably check it out during summer vacation. .lol.

Well, in the beginning, it was the anime, and pretty much only the anime. I saw Vampire Hunter D when I was fairly young, and a few other movies and such. When I was 13, I started watching Pokemon and Sailor Moon (we all have sins in our past). About 17 or so, I got really into anime again. But now, it's all about the manga. I love buying each volume, reading it all the way through, then trying to figure out how long I should wait before reading it again (my record for one volume is 7 times in 2 days).

normally the anime first...then the manga because they're normally a little different and of course they go into more detail and sometimes extend the storyline past what the anime shows.

honestly both are keeping me glued because both are going in a slow pace.....i juz wish they would make it faster and lessen those flashbacks in the anime..i cant wait what happens next especially in manga..things are getting interesting and tiresome at the same time..interesting because many things are already revealed...tiresome because of the long wait.... :(

Ive read the manga but i dindt like it so much, then i watched the Anime and got hooked. One thing that i don't like is that they miss alot of stuff in the manga, besides that the real action is the Anime. I can't watch anything action on a piece of paper, it has to be anime otherwise it gets boring immediately.

To me, it was anime first. Yeah, I'm one of those anime fans born under blessing of Pokemon =D But nowadays, I usually like manga more than anime, really
