Which do you perfer?

I like both the same. ^_^

I do like it better when animes that are adapted from manga stick to what happens and do not change the story.

I have never really had the attention span to sit down and actually read manga so it's definitely anime all the way for me.

I prefer manga but I hate reading it online and it's expensive so... I tend not to read it often anymore. D: I read much faster than I can watch an anime, though, so if I really need to know a story, I'd rather read it. Anime is great but I rarely have the attention span for it. I watch it on my computer so anytime I get an email or some notification, I tend to pause so I can check it right away and then I get more distracted and it just takes forever to finish an episode or two. And once I have, they've been watched so disjointedly that I don't enjoy it as much. XD;

I depends mostly on story and art style.

And example is Elfen Lied.
I love the anime and it's art style but when I tried to read the manga, it just didn't stick with me.
And then there's Trinity Blood where its the opposite of Elfen Lied. I'll only read the manga and not watch the anime.
Even Overlords need some fun

I like the original story. I've yet to see an anime just made as is, not being an adaption of any manga, book or eroge game. So with manga being the original format, or closer to the original format, I prefer it.
One can get through a lot of pages very quickly in manga too, in anime progression is considerably slower and still manages to omit or alter details.

And example is Elfen Lied.
I love the anime and it's art style but when I tried to read the manga, it just didn't stick with me.
The Elfen Lied manga is really badly drawn in a lot of parts... :x
Shame really.

I actually prefer anime. More colorful, story may not be as in-depth but you get some really good music (depending on the anime x.X) and it's always good to see the characters animate. However, I do wish some anime's would be more like their manga-counterpart. >.>

It depends on the series. For example, I prefer the manga versions of Ranma 1/2 and Love Hina over their anime adaptations. However, I prefer the Yu Yu Hakusho, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, and Steel Angel Kurumi anime adaptations over their manga counterparts (though I am bitter over the fact that the Kurama x Maya love story was left out of the Yu Yu Hakusho anime).

Anime is fun to watch, considering it is actual motion rather than reading panel by panel. Like right now, I'm keeping up with One Piece by watching the Anime just because the Manga's jokes and fights aren't as entertaining in the Manga as they are Anime. However, Manga is better to read if you want to get ahead in the series. I'm currently reading the Naruto Manga just because the Anime has been adding fillers in Shippuden. So I've gotten pretty bored of the Anime. So it depends for me.

Most of the time I go with the manga.Because most of the time the manga comes before the anime, and you love the manga and the anime ruins the manga version!But theres sometimes when the anime is better.So yeah.

Well Anime is fun. You can see them squabbling in your television screen with all these shenanigans and stuff. But, Manga is as equal. I can see the details clearer upon the book and often, manga gets turned into anime.:P Like xxxHolic!. I can even have a chance to draw them^_^"! I prefer both.

*snickers at manga +1 over anime in poll*

I prefer manga for almost every series I get into. The story's original and the art's in its raw form. Anime adaptions tend to ruin the aesthetic for me and sometimes it deviates from the plot altogether.

That said, I do enjoy most 4koma anime adaptions and original anime series.

^ What Phani said in a nutshell, except I don't understand 4koma. :D

I dunno though, it depends on the art. If the manga's art is cleaner and prettier, then I prefer the manga. If the anime's art is cleaner and prettier, then I prefer the anime.

But usually, I like my manga, because it stays true to the actual storyline. We don't get fillers. We don't get crappy animation every now and then.

But I love hearing voices, and I love seeing things in color. I guess it's a one-one thing, but I'd still say I like manga; mostly because I can name so many more manga I've read, then anime I've watched. :/

I would say manga just because anime keeps getting more and more kid-oriented, which makes it worse.

You gave the choice, I say Both! Manga and Anime really have pro's and con's. Manga's are Portable, While Anime makes it more "realistic" =P
