Anime VS Manga

Anime and Manga have their own weaknesses and strong points.

Anime is great because it brings the picture to life. No matter how good a Manga series is, you'll never expirence it as well as you can if you're watching the anime. Also, anime adds a little colour to every scene (both literarly and mentally) and it shows the scenes simply and effectivley in a way that the majority can easily understand.

Manga, however, has the advantage of no edits. This can come in useful when you want to know the story as the author intended and not as an animator sees best fit. Manga also never has any filler, which currently airing anime has a bad knack of constantly showing. Manga is also easier to obtain from shops (at least in my case) and normally comes with free goodies (Naruto bookmarks FTW XD).
 
Manga. Anime's tend to either cut/edit content, add unnecessary plot (fillers) or do both at the same time. Though sometimes I prefer being able to see events in action, some elements in Manga are hard to discern.
 
Anime, since I can focus more. Though, I would resort to Manga if I really want to.
