Lios Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I mean, a episode took about 15 - 45 mins or so while manga is much faster and I enjoy reading more than watching, plus chips and music... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midknight Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 It's hard to read a Manga while washing dishes or cooking. By contrast, I can load up an Anime and it involves minimal further effort on my part. I especially like re-watching series I've already seen for this purpose so I know generally what's happening without needing to focus on the subtitles.

MrGrim Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Confession #8368 I have actually never read a manga. Blasphemy! I personally don't watch more anime than reading manga's since I find that some anime draw the story out a ton whereas with a manga I can read 5-6 chapters or more quicker than 5-6 episodes and the fillers I can skip. Though some animes without mangas, like bebop or champloo to name a couple, I enjoy the most because it feels the guy making it geared all his attention to making an anime rather than trying to fit 1 chapter of a manga into a 30 minute episode and watching it feels more organic.

K, but one episode always got out way too long, some took 2 months while manga is like 1 week ;_; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midknight Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 How many DBZ characters does it take to change a lightbulb? Just one. But it takes 6 episodes. MrGrim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midknight Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Also, there are some situations where it's only an Anime. For example, the Disgaea Anime is based on the first Disgaea game rather than a Manga and I haven't found a Manga associated with Stella Jogakuin Koutou ka C3-bu. Then there are also re-telling/reboot anime such as with Tenchi Muyo having three separate continuities. Mahou Sensei Negima and Fullmetal Alchemist each have two and it was the second FMA, Brotherhood, that actually followed the Manga while both Negima series diverged from the Manga plot (actually a pretty common thing, since many Anime get produced before the source Manga is done so they either out-pace and come up with their own continuity or enter filler-hell such as with Naruto or Bleach). And Then anime inevitably gives rise to abridged parody series like DBZ Abridged or Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged. And if you haven't seen those yet, why are you still here... go watch them... now... GO!
