Manga.

>>160456381
Depends, each media has benefits. Manga is typically more detailed in both story and image.
Anime is more of an experience with the audio visual aspect.

But to answer, I prefer anime. Anime goes through a tighter filtering process than manga, because it costs over 9000 times more than to feed just one mangaka. Manga is thus more often utter garbage. Of course there is a problem that an episode MUST have a length of 30 min. as that is the standard slot. But if the anime never catches up with the manga, there is no problem. Only if you really love the anime, or if the manga pleases your niches then the manga is worth read.

>>160456381
/manga/ when? Cant stand anime fags

>>160456381
I really wanted to like that manga purely for the beautiful art but the story and characters were just so fucking bland. Maybe I dropped it too early but they needed to focus more on war tactics and battles than old men in rooms talking politics while MC had various mental breakdowns.

>>160457337
You did the right thing. Just move on. When you boil it down. No hastily drawn manga ever has actual good looking art.

>>160459357
Remember when people actually got banned for starting big3 threads back in the day? Good times.

I don't really mind generals as long as they function as intended - keeping most of the autism contained. It has definitely degraded the overall level of discourse on the board though.

Wouldn't be opposed to a /manga/ specific board with a greatly expanded imagecount limit on threads though. The rampant shitposting from filthy seasonals and secondaries tends to fuck up decent conversation here.

The only time anime is remotely close to being as good as manga is when it's original. Adaptations are nine times out of ten worse than their source material. This of course goes for manga as well, as manga adaptations of original anime are usually trash.

Even then, when there's too many generals the quality still gets brought down. It becomes a lot harder to spot good threads when generals are all over the place.

>>160460112
I'm the opposite. In the time it takes to watch first episode you can cruise through a number of chapters.

The one with soundtracks, voice-acting, choreography, etc.

>>160460409
so you're a fan of theatre like myself, eh? capital!

>>160456381
i just cant enjoy manga as much as i can anime. manga is better, but i prefer anime so much more. the soundtrack and animation add so much to the experience for me.

i wish manga had soundtracks.

Manga follows a vision if a single creator. Anime is made by a huge disjointed band of misfits.

Therefore, I barely watch anime nowadays.

Manga is mostly just for hipsters, there's a reason why anime is a lot more popular. I tried a lot of those so called "best manga" and dropped them all out of boredom within the first two dozen chapters. Good manga is a myth.

>>160460898
I unironically agree. Not for the 'hipster' part but manga is just so dull in comparison to anime. I don't know why but taken the same dull one-dimensional characters and tropes and turn them into anime and suddenly I'm much more engaged in the story.

Retention/memory from both things you're trying to do goes to utter shit when you start multitasking, and you also aren't able to fully enjoy either one because you're constantly switching context. The human brain is not built to do that.

I thought about getting a nice tablet for months, under pretense of needing it for work. It's just that I get nauseous from reading on screen for extended periods of time, might have something to do with looking at static images and I'm not sure if a tablet would be better. An e-reader tired me as well.
Also, I find physical manga to be of higher quality than most scans (it really depends on how detailed is the artwork), not to mention questionable quality of many fan translations.

you can't fairly compare it to anything that's come out recently because it'll stomp over them without even trying

Well yeah but a YA novel with mature themes is a YA novel in all but name. Just look at the shit older women read, same sappy bullshit. I guess it's more accurate to say LN are poorly translated YA novels with more edgy/lewd themes.

>>160462706
