Which is better; Manga or Anime?
Saturday, May 10, 2014
The main theme of this blog is anything consisting in Japan which also considers Manga and Anime. However, for the people who rarely or not watch anime or read manga at all, may think; What's so good about watching or reading this stuff. Personally, I think anime and manga are like tv shows and comics but in differnt style. Therefore to answer this question you should ask yourself why people watch tv or read ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Enough! So what is the main difference? Anime is animated videos and you can watch it on screen whereas Manga is black-and-white still drawings in sequence that make up a story. It's drawn on page but people scan for internet to make it available online. Do you know how many times did I had to say this definition in reality? People always ask me "Do you watch manga?" ._. It had to be done.
Manga: It's more detailed when comes to the plot and doesn't contain fillers (usually). It always concentrates on the main parts of the story. Through reading from the first chapter to the latest you can see that the author's style is improving and is more beautiful. After many released chapters authors can decide to allow to make an anime based on the story. This usually happens when manga is getting more fans, but not always as some of my mangas that I read hasn't released an anime even though they have lots of chapters.
Anime: The best thing is that you can see your characters moving and see the action which is not in manga. In addition, it is colourful, has background music and the most important thing for me an Opening. I wish every time I read a new chapter of my favourite manga I would see the opening XD. Yet, that's not how it works. However worse drawbacks are the fillers or missed parts of the story which haven't been included in anime but only in manga. In other words less detail in the plot.
I only read manga if the plot is good as I'm the laziest person as I cannot force myself to read >_< So I'm very picky when comes to pick something to read, yet I watch whatever anime people say is good :/ In my opinion, I think that you should do both. If you liked the anime, you will like the manga! However, it may not go the other way as sometimes anime are shitty whereas manga is really good :)
