Manga puzzle train for no reason

My favorite series is Ranma ½ . The perfect mix of action, romance and comedy with every character being amazing, hilarious and unique. My preference will depend on the series, but generally the original work tends to be much better from my experience, which tends to be the Manga version.

For Ranma, I love both. The anime has the animation style, voice actors and opening/ending music that I love. But the plots and characterization are much better in the Manga.

edit: Solved!

Usually the original series, manga or anime, is better.

Dragon Head!

Dunno. Sometimes the animation is killer (e.g. Mob Psycho), the soundtracks (anything by Hiroyuki Sawano, Initial D for the meme), or the show gets carried by VA. But then there's stuff like Vagabond... and the art in that is just crazy beautiful, so... it's a coin toss.

Not sure if it's just me, but I also notice a lot more cliches in anime compared to manga. Corporatism sure is scary.

Anyway, thanks for the train! A couple of the older series took me a while :S

I'm not a fan of manga, but I was reading All You Need Is Kill, and it was fun to see how the same story can be told in manga and in action movie.

I read like 50 manga for every anime I watch so it's kinda obvious which of the two I prefer (although I didn't know what #8 was). My favorite manga's nobody ever heard of is probably Yako and Poko, but good luck finding it in English.

I usually always love the manga more. In some rare cases, when animation is well done and the plot is not changed, i enjoy the anime as well

The last manga I finished was Bleach. My all time favorite is still Kenshin. I need to read more manga. Just haven't had the time.

My favorite manga is currently 20th Century Boys, altough it's a tough choice between that or Oyasumi Punpun.
Also solved, and thank you for the givs!

tfw when you know the publisher but cannot figure out the answer.

Solved..
I like both..

The puzzle is solvable without any hint, even for people who haven't read most of them (like me). I started reading manga late (around 10 years ago), so while I have heard of those series before, I haven't read most of them.

I enjoy both anime and manga, but which I like more depends on the series. In most cases, both are great, but there are some cases where I don't like either of them (for example, From The New World anime successfully adapts the mystery part of the original novel, while the manga turns into a fan service one).

I'm not sure about your definition of "lesser known", but Yasashii Sekai no Tsukurikata is one series that I particularly like.

Bump :)

Solved. Bump.

Bump. Manage to get 2 answers right before using google.
I prefer manga to anime because i like the story more and anime sometimes shorten the story . on the other hand, with slice of life series, music series or such i may prefer anime more.
