Manga or Anime?

Blue Exorcist, Vol. 1

Sun, 11 Mar 2012 10:21:17 GMT

Manga Status: Publishing Anime Status: Finished Airing

Number of volumes: 7

Number of chapters: 38

Number of episodes: 25

Kami-chan's opinion: I prefer the manga.
Mainly because the style is continuously great to look at, the story is more logical, detailed and coherent than the anime's. Although I love the cast of seiyuu in the anime it's just too weird and rushed near the end.

Black Butler, Volume 1

Number of volumes: 13

Number of chapters: 66

Number of episodes: 36

Kami-chan's opinion: I prefer the manga. (a lot!)
Since I really cannot get to like the anime's OOC'ness.
Its plot walks a completely different path which makes no sense and is ridiculous and stupid. The graphics in the manga end up to look better than the animated version and the character development is brilliant as opposed to the anime. The seíyuu in the show are nice but that's about it.

Bleach, Volume 01

Manga Status: Publishing Anime Status: Airing

Number of volumes: 54

Number of chapters: 484

Number of episodes: 363

Kami-chan's opinion: I prefer the manga.
The fights in the anime surely are nice to watch in animation but it is even longery than the manga because half of it consists of filler arcs. Although the anime is entertaining most of the time the manga has the advantage that it never gets boring and that the graphics are better in the long run.

Kami-chan's opinion: I prefer the manga.
Even though the anime is actually not that bad it remains inferior because it's too short and too rushed and too cheesy.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, Vol. 1 (Manga) (Code Geass : Lelouch of the Rebellion) (v. 1)

Number of volumes: 8

Number of chapters: 26

Number of episodes: 50

Kami-chan's opinion: I prefer the anime.
I really came to like the design/style in the anime and I think it looks better than the manga's because that way the characters look older and more mature. The cast of seiyuu is beautiful as well as the background music.

Death Note, Volume 1

Number of volumes: 12

Number of chapters: 108

Kami-chan's opinion: I prefer the anime.
Only a tiny teeny bit more. I also love the manga. But the anime just looks so good and has Mamo-chan voicing Light which equals perfection.

D. Gray-Man volume 1

Manga Status: Publishing Anime Status: Finished Airing

Number of volumes: 22

Number of chapters: 212

Number of episodes: 103

Kami-chan's opinion: I like both equally much.
The anime and manga are basically the same (with obvious differences like sound and movement of course) and I enjoyed them the same way, strangely enough. I just wish the anime would continue so that the latest events from the manga could be animated as well.

Number of volumes: 12

Number of chapters: 59

Kami-chan's opinion: I prefer the manga.
I think it is way darker, more serious and f'ed up than the anime. Although I prefer the look of the anime it doesn't give me as much chill as the manga.

Hetalia: Axis Powers, Vol. 1

Manga Status: Publishing Anime Status: Finished Airing

Number of volumes: 4

Number of chapters: 6-7 (?)

Number of episodes: 103

Kami-chan's opinion: I prefer the anime.
The sytle is much better, the fact that the characters are voiced and that is music makes it more entertaining and it just is so much more in progress.

JUNJO ROMANTICA Volume 1: (Yaoi)

Number of volumes: 15

Number of chapters: 67

Number of episodes: 24

Kami-chan's opinion: I prefer the anime.
Although the manga offers more plot the series looks so very beautiful and is -although it abandons the smut- impressing with its emotionality as well as humour that brought across even better by seiyuu.

Kyo Kara Maoh, Volume 1

Manga Status: Publishing Anime Status: Finished Airing

Number of volumes: 13

Number of chapters: ?

Number of episodes: 117

Kami-chan's opinion: I prefer the manga.
At some point I lost interest in watching the series because there is too much input (also too many fillers). The manga is more collected and well structured. And in my opinion it also looks a lot better.

Loveless, Volume 1

Manga Status: Publishing Anime Status: Finished Airing

Number of volumes: 10

Number of chapters: ?

Number of episodes: 12

Kami-chan's opinion: I prefer the manga.
Mainly because the anime decided to end abruptly and without making very much sense. Watching the series felt like nothing special. The manga is the exact opposite: Reading it feels magical and is fun as as well is touching. And the drawings are so much more beautiful than in the anime.

Kami-chan's opinion: I prefer the manga.
The anime isn't bad but the drewn version is more detailed and keeps up the thrill and and anticipation to the occuring events.

Naruto, Volume 1

Number of volumes: 61

Number of chapters: 577

Kami-chan's opinion: I prefer the manga.
The anime had its good phase but it is long over. Reading Naruto is always enerttaing or thrilling and provides so many creative ideas. The series' animation got weaker as the countless seasons increased and it also has a massive amount of filler arcs that are ungodly stupid and boring.

Neon Genesis Evangelion, Volume 1

Number of volumes: 13

Number of episodes: 26

Kami-chan's opinion: I like both equally much.
It's way too hard to choose one over the other. The manga has more Kaworu and a few different plot twists that I find more interesting. But the anime has the animated kick-ass EVAs, the seiyuu and the even greater mindf**k atmosphere.

Ouran High School Host Club, Volume 1

Number of volumes: 18

Number of chapters: 87

Number of episodes: 26

Kami-chan's opinion: I prefer the anime.
The main reason is the cast of seiyuu and their ability to make the humourous scenes even more humourous. And that the design looks much better. I hate that it is so (way too) short!

Pandora Hearts, Volume 1

Manga Status: Publishing Anime Status: Finished Airing

Number of volumes: 17

Number of chapters: 70

Number of episodes: 25

Kami-chan's opinion: I prefer the manga.
Because it doesn't have a weird plot twist that destoys the beautifully built up story in an instant. And it looks more beautiful most of the time. In the manga messages and the atmosphere are conveyed much clearer.

Reborn! volume 1

Manga Status: Publishing Anime Status: Finished Airing

Number of volumes: 37

Number of chapters: 375

Number of episodes: 203

Kami-chan's opinion: I like both equally much, because they are kind of the same and when there are fillers in the anime they are at least somewhat logical and entertaining.

Sekaiichi Hatsukoi 01: A Boys Love Story

Manga Status: Publishing Anime Status: Finished Airing

Number of volumes: 7

Number of chapters: ?

Number of episodes: 24

Kami-chan's opinion: I like both equally much. The anime looks beautiful and includes wonderful seiyuu but there's more story in the manga and its look isn't too bad at all.

Soul Eater, Volume 1

Tue, 21 Feb 2012 07:02:44 GMT

Manga Status: Publishing Anime Status: Finished Airing

Number of volumes: 21

Number of chapters: 95

Number of episodes: 51

Kami-chan's opinion: I like both equally much. The anime's strength is its awesome design and the fact it's well animated. But the manga does continue and that's crucial for a plot like in SE.

Kami-chan's opinion: I prefer the manga. The anime is too short and the characters behave a bit ooc near the end. I just wish the manga would finally continue being published...

The World God Only Knows, Volume 01

Manga Status: Publishing Anime Status: Finished Airing

Number of volumes: 15

Number of chapters: 180

Kami-chan's opinion: I prefer the anime. Again just a slight bit because Keima's seiyuu seems to fit him perfectly and the design is better.
