漫画とアニメ

well if its only the First Volume then its pretty ok ...

but when you go beyond that ..yeah thats spoilage XD

It depends on the series really. Bleach and Naruto for example, I'm too impatient to wait for the anime to catch up, especially when there are fillers. Then later I enjoy seeing what I already read animated. And a lot of the time, the anime is completly different (Mai MiME, FMA, Death Note's ending).

It really depends on the series in question. Some things work better in animation, some don't. Sometimes the animated version just sucks, and sometimes the animated versions are totally different to the point that comparing it to the original is silly (Excel Saga, Pani Poni Dash)

for me yes, like Naruto and D.Gray Man... but although it is spoil but when (re)watch in anime, quite interesting because got movement + music and etc...

I try not to read the manga for the anime I'm currently following, unless the anime progress too slowly (hint naruto, bleach). Or if the anime ends halfway, like claymore.

Actually, I prefer manga over anime (in most cases). So, I would read it first.

It depends, I read Bleach and Naruto and later watch the animation to see what its like in colour or so. I don't think its spoiling it for me because I've read it (because its my main choice).

Now, Choice, depending in what is the 'main'. If its animation then do not look at the manga (if the animation is a adaptation of a manga).

Sometimes its the other way round, Manga adaptation of the animation such as Eureka Seven.

I normally choose the first come, so I don't have that thing. Unless otherwise.

I usually see both the anime and the manga version. Both sometimes have parts that are present only in their respective version. Moreover, I actually didn't mind spoiler at all.

p/s: in the manga version, the circumstances where Makoto have to hold buckets with both hands (seen in the opening) is actually different from the OP

Well, I don't think is spoils the anime... It actually strengthens your understanding and love for the anime... I'm a die-hard fan of anime, I usually read the manga first before watching the anime, cuz' I can show off to my friends and be the spoiler machine...

i remember we have a similar discussion 1 or 2 months ago about manga vs anime.

personally i prefer manga more. i'm used to reading the manga first then watch the anime. it doesn't bothers me at all nor spoils the fun knowing he storyline beforehand.

adding on, manga is definitely way ahead of the anime. if i just watch the anime, i'll be very left behind.

one exception is claymore, i watched the anime first before i started on the manga.

in some situations i think that reading the manga can spoil the anime in some respects but not all. Take, for example, claymore, I found it just as entertaining when watching it after reading some parts in advance. Primarily because it's just different enough when you watch all the fights animated.
Shows like Hayate no Gotoku and genshiken fare far less well as the anime doesn't really add anything more than what the manga has already shown you (except for that really really homo ep) so it does get a little tedious.

I prefer reading the manga first, since the anime is usually an adaptation...

Better to watch the anime first, that way your not as disappointed when its not as detailed.

manga is better than anime most of the time. so, it is better to watch the anime first. If not, you'll be disappointed with the anime since it is not as good as the manga.

Though I'm not too crazy about anime as I used to be, my undying love for manga stays the same. (go figure. O.o) So I would only watch a series in its animation adaptation if I *REALLY* like the comic enough. (such as death note & claymore) And even with those animes I eventually get tired of and immediately just revert back to the books... -.-"

I watched Akira (my intro to real japanese anime), and then years later read the Manga. I think because I did it in this order I wasnt annoyed by the huge amount of content left out of the movie. I had no advance expectations. I didnt already have ideas of how their voices should sound, or their facial expressions. Instead, it made me appreciate the storyline of the manga and just mearly notate the missing content in the movie without being frustrated. Plus, the anime score was epic.

@LostandFound, I hate guys like you! Ruiner! Lol. The best way to solve someone doing this is a lot of laxatives.

I like manga better than anime.(Manga is cheaper, you get more story for your money, it may be in black and white in most cases but its so darn cute it hardly matters!!! Who's with me?) So it never spoils it for me. The anime always seems to be a let down... At least thats the case with all the manga-to-anime things I've seen. E.g, CCSakura manga is WAAAAY better than the anime in my oppinion, only thats not the best example, Fruits Basket, the anime was no where near as good...

Some are pretty much the same, like Genshiken, there are no massive changes to that, and no story-gaps/jumps. The Gals! Manga goes in a slightly different order to the original Manga, but I saw the anime 1st, so I think of that as right.

I suppose it all depends which you see first, the anime or the manga? It's kinda like the chicken or the egg. Fufufufufufufufu Which came first and which tastes better? lol

@Coffee-san: Here-here!! I started watching the Deathnote anime and it just didnt keep my attention at all... probably because I've already read it and its cuter in the manga lol. Same with alot of manga. Although I must read Ouran to see what the differences are.

I do the same most of the time, only watch anime I've read as manga before. Although that restricts me somewhat, so now I've got Broadband finally, I can download stuff just to see if its any good, and if I like, I continue. Like with Ouran and Sky Girls.

Generally, I find that an anime series I have read the manga for feels less exciting as I would have thought. Prime examples are Bleach and D.Gray-Man

Although I generally enjoy manga more, scanlation is sometimes far and few between, so I sometimes can only see more of it through anime.

Some manga and anime are done spectacularly in spite of each other, like Eureka Seven.

I like also like manga a tad bit better than anime.(Manga is cheaper no matter which way you look at it, and you do get more story for your money. The anime always seems have an integral twist in the end.

for me it spoils the anime especially if the currently airing episodes are filler.. What i do is read the manga as soon as the anime season is over. In that way it's like reading the script of the movie

for me, manga is more true to original story the mangaka wants to tell, whereas anime can contain many fillers that i find annoying (take naruto for example). i think anime adaptations brings double the enjoyment to the original story. in some ways, the manga does spoil the anime, but i think if you enjoy an anime, you should read its manga counterpart too.

I go both ways!
Wait, that came out wrong.

Sometimes I like the Anime more, some times the Manga... some times I like both equally. Like Azumanga Daioh.

I am kinda sensitive to spoilers, but it's been a long time I read/watch stuff that could be spoiled.

Like now I'm watching only Lucky Star... there's not much to spoil there.

But I usually pick only one.. Manga or Anime. And them I'll probably wait a while before getting the other version. So when I do it, it's kinda like remembering how the story went... which is nice.

I also have the memory of a chicken, so it's not that much a problem.

In many cases, is not that manga spoils fun, is that the manga IS more fun. Other times, see the anime version gives you other way to enjoy a history,characters or other stuffs. Ah, and don`t forget fan service :)

It depends on the series. for Bleach and Naruto I rather read manga, anime has too many fillers, sometimes there are 2-3 episodehas nothing but endless conversations.

As others have said, for many stories the manga is actually a lot more interesting - shonen stories like Naruto and Death Note being case in point.

Story pacing and shot composition is often better in manga, and it doesn't deteriorate as noticeably under a low budget.

generally i always prefer the manga version so i always read the manga first

The only Manga I bough and read was Negima, and other series that I have not watch before. I usually buy Manga just cause I read it on the way to work or school and have no time to watch the Animated series. Other than that, the Anime's I watch, I never read the Manga from it.

I go back and forth on this one. I only recently started reading manga, but I've been watching anime for a LONG time. Sometimes, I feel like a certain scene was spoiled, but I have noticed the manga is usually better (and this is coming from a die-hard anime fanatic). In the end, I just try to keep saying to myself that it's only an adaptation. I guess it's just a case-by-case situation for me.

sometimes i watch the anime to catch up if ive missed a big chunk in the manga.

I think reading manga does spoils the anime. When I read it, I'll know what to expect and I lose interest in the anime over the manga.

I am a manga-ha, than an anime-ha...
But they both have their uniqueness... For instance, there are cases in the anime of 名探偵コナン which is not in the manga... The manga of ハガレン definitely is different (in terms of story and character development) than the anime. I recently picked up the スケブ４コマ, and I absolutely adore it. I mean, there are same material as the first few episode, but it was still enjoying to read it.

In essence, I believe that holding an actual book is much different experience from watching the anime. Therefore, I don't feel as though they are spoiling each other...

i don't think it will spoil the fun.
cuz there are differences in anime version and the manga version. i do both cuz i want to know the differences on both version. too bad in indonesia. u have to wait for a lone time (usually 1-3 years) for manga to be licensed...

Yeah reading manga often ruins the anime for me since I'll know what happens and when there are fillers I cringe. Thus I only read the One Piece manga now, no more anime for that series.

Also I find myself picking at the parts in the anime that were not originally in the manga and parts that they omitted. T__T"

Somewhat yes, unless you've read the manga first, and watched the anime later.

Minamike, I only watch it when I'm terribly bored, although its actually worth watching and entertaining, love em' sisters.

I think it depends on what came first. If it's something from novel->manga->anime, you could lose a lot going from novel (see: Zero no Tsukaima). One reason I didn't touch the either ZnT anime after a few episodes... I think manga would spoil anime if it is more fleshed out, because then the anime would just feel like a rehash of significant events with sometimes insignificant/irrelevant padding between; whereas if only the anime for the series was watched it might be perfectly enjoyable by itself.

Well I'm very slowly making my way through the Death Note manga, hopefully I'll be done by the time the series comes out in the UK all lovely, dubbed and judging by how long I'm taking a heck of a lot cheaper.

I'm not sure if I chose rightly now, I hear the anime is even better, hope I haven't ruined it.

I have to say the Nausicaa anime pales in comparisson to the manga which is amazeringlyfantabulous, so the manga did kind of ruin the anime by being just too darn good, wish i'd seen it first now.

@ Danny I've started compiling a definitive list and how to guide on DS homebrew apps on my blog if you're interested.^^

I like reading the manga first since it's the actual storyline and anime only follows to a certain point and mostly ends with an anime original...so it's not really spoiling much IMO...plus it's fun to see how they animate certain scenes...

Nothing beats Anime Soundtracks, so even if I'd read the Manga, the Anime is still exciting!

No i dun think so!
I think the anime spoils the original manga!

Most of the animation i watch which was converted from manga to anime usually end up with the anime version having crappy story or not as good as the manga!

I watch the anime first because it comes out before the manga here in the US. But I do find some manga I tend to pick up first and don't mind knowing how it goes before watching the anime as I compare and contrast the two.

Sometimes there are spoilers, but the best part is when both sides starts taking original only parts. (Like in Keroro Gunso where the whole storyline, if any, takes a different turn than the manga).
So like they, Anything Goes.

You know...It really depends on the person's ponit of view don't you tjink...-_-

Depends on what manga and anime. Some of them like Kodomo no Jikan, the anime is crap compared to the manga. If you're like me and have read the manga you wouldn't feel like watching the anime.

Whereas some of the anime like Naruto are actually quite good compared to the manga.

Not really, but it depends. For me I don't really feel that way except for Midori Days; manga offered more in-depth stuff than the anime. I mean, how much stuff can the producers squeeze into 13 episodes.

I think what you just did there Danny was rude because the artest who made that manga work hard & did such a great job. In some ways the manga is a bit better then the anime, though the anime is doing a great job right now. Go back an buy the manga!

as i mentioned earlier, i preferred manga more but one exception is deathnote. i actually prefer deathnote anime over the manga cos the manga is simply too wordy! >_<

it took me a lot of time to read 1 book! that's why i'm glad the anime only show the important dialogues and left out the not so important ones.

one more thing, since anime is shown on national tv and watched by children, it tend to be more toned down compared to manga, like nudity and violence.

take for example in deathnote manga when misa first met kira at his house, we can see her pantsu while she walks up the stairs. we didn't see this in the anime! >_

I try not to get too far ahead of a series via manga if I'm really into it.

And vice versa. My manga vs anime is really dependant on the show. For example, I probably would NEVER have read the Ouran manga had I not seen the series and saw just how the characters were.

(And still grooving to Hatsune Miku sings "Ievan Polkka" - Going on 15 minutes)

what i do is read up to where the anime is up to. An episode comes out, watch it, then read the manga up to where the episode finished. This is only for series that you would like to watch twice in a row.

Anime was finished? Check out reviews and see if there are comments like "this is so bad compared to the manga".

Anime is going to be released in the future? Can you wait a year or two? If it's going to be good, I would wait. If it's unknown, I would read all the manga because manga and anime are generally similar.

Ok, I'm going to have to throw in my two cents here. First off, I do believe that reading a manga spoils the anime. I am of course, a much bigger anime fan than I am of manga. However, I personally feel it's much harder to make bad manga than bad anime. I mean, if you feel something is dragging out too long in a manga, you can just read faster. If you want to absorb the story at a certain point, you can stop and think about it, let your imagination go. Plus, considering the multitudes of people out their, with their various ideas of what is good. The freedom inherent in manga lets THEM decide the particulars of a given battle or love scene. They can imagine the minor details as they see fit, creating a more enjoyable environment overall. However, with anime you're more constricted with how you must view the given piece. If the director decides to spend 30 minutes letting Goku charge up, you're forced to watch for 30 minutes. I mean, sure you can fast-forward if you're not watching it on TV, but it's not quite the same as reading a manga faster. Yes, a rather long rant and I havn't even really made my point yet. Basically, I think that an anime is less enjoyable when you already know the story, because people tend to get impatient and feel like too much time is devoted to what they feel is an insignificant event. So reading manga before watching anime is a big No-no in my book. However, the converse isn't necessarily bad. After having watched the anime of a series. Going through the manga at a faster pace is very enjoyable and allows readers to catch things that might not have been in the anime series. Also, it's much easier to skip ahead in manga if you know what happens than it is to skip ahead in anime. Yea, sorry for the long rant.

Actually I'm quite used to read the manga first and then watch the anime. It does spoil some of the fun since you already know the story (ex. when I watch Minami-ke, since I already read the manga so I already know most of the story and it make me kind of boring watching it). But I don't really mind, since manga & anime has it own feel for me.

Absolutely agreed to NeonCloud's comment.

Reading manga spoils the anime.

you know what... Just because I can, I am going to argue against my dear friend neoncloud:

True, that some anime follow the EXACT plot of the manga (Haruhi is a GREAT example of this. And I am pretty sure, for those who read the novel or the manga of haruhi are going to some what figure out what is going to happen in the second season).

However, there are also anime out there that does not follow the manga entirely.

some examples of this are:
-the big Naruto fillers (when you are probably FORCED to read the manga to figure out what happens)

-Rurouni Kenshin (honestly, the Enishi ark is not even present in the anime)

-Full Metal Alchemist (they follow a completely different path to the end, while the manga still lingers on about the whole truth of Alchemy)

-Detective Conan (there are cases in the anime that aren't present in the manga, or in essence, fillers. But it is done in a way that is rather enjoyable, rather than naruto who did filler after filler)

Even if I read the manga first, and figured out what will happen in the anime, I still don't think it "ruins" it (because you know the story), but rather enhances the experience because now you are watching the manga in action.

of course not!! well for example Love Hina i first read the manga and then watched the anime version and to be honest i didn't really like the anime version. the manga is way better than the anime cuz is funnier

it depends...

sometimes reading the manga doesn't spoil the anime and vice versa. there are times that the manga is differently told ^^

Nope - it doesn't spoil or ruin it for me in the slightest. I prefer to read the manga first, as I can't really get a hold of the anime easily (or cheap), so I tend to buy the manga first.

I kind of get tired of people always complaining about manga -> anime, game -> manga, etc adaptations. ~_~ (not here but in general)

Why are you torturing yourself if it's that bad? If you are that bored, go and read some more manga or play another game instead.

Well that's my 2 cents on the matter. ^_^;

I read the manga first then watch the anime.

I think for a lot of people, if they've seen the anime the manga may be too slow paced for them and they might not read it. Personally, I don't care which order I go in, or even both at once, im hard to bore, lol

I like both manga and anime. After I read the manga I wonder how they would put the story together in the anime version.

mostly, but sometimes the manga gives even better clues and hints to later happenings than the anime counterparts

Manga is good to read if you are following a anime you enjoy.
I love when the anime follows the manga close to a "t"

I think so. but then again, as holds true with all else, between written and television, there will ALWAYS be some difference, no matter how insignificant or subtle. i prefer to stick with one medium until the end before moving to the other.

It actually depends…on the production itself
There times that the manga (the original story) is better told than the anime script, such as Naruto, Love Hina, Chobits. Even so, if the anime some times is a little different from the manga (well...it is an adaptation after all) is still fun to watch. What really stand out, is the visual and above all the voice production and sound effects that only anime can provide. A good example of that is Evangelion, Furi Kuri, Saint Seiya and even the above citation…come on, there is Not anything cuter that Chii saying Pantsu!!!!!!!

After reading the manga, the anime based of it, just (in some cases) disappoints me.

yeah, it really depends. I've got a fair share of surprises and disappointments :D

If the manga is ecchi, prolly better to pick up manga since censorship is pwning anime nowadays. (This is always the right choice ^^)

If not, I prefer the characters speaking and moving. (Thats the usual case, exceptions do exist.)

I'm thinking of pickin up Minamike manga. Since theres only one season of it. Thats right, season 2 and 3 is just a nightmare guys. It never existed.

Majority of the anime studios who create series based on manga tend to rewrite certain parts.
So overall it's a really different matter if you talk about anime and manga.

Yeah, i read Hellsing manga before watching the anime, so i was very excited about what special effects and amazing drawing i were going to watch, but then i feel very dissapointed. The anime version not full my willings, so i prefer to keep the idea of Hellsing about what i read in the manga, wich is so good.

It depends on how much faithful the creators of the anime have been to the manga. If they have ignored the original work a lot, you can even enjoy the Manga and the Anime as if they were indepentent series.

it has happened to me a couple of times

I never think that reading manga first would spoil the ending of the anime. Besides, they often don't even finish those animes I watch or would like to watch. And in most cases manga, which is original, is far better compared to anime produced later. Of course that's not the case always. A good example is Evangelion. First they made anime series, which is great, and now Sadamoto is doing the manga. But they're quite different stories, like to people telling the same legend as they see it. It's impossible to know, how the manga version is going to end. Then there are those new movies. That's the third version of the story. I've enjoyed all of them, so now spoiling there at all.

I'm quite the opposite. I don't watch anime because I've read the manga. Not because it usually comes out earlier but because I like more reading, and I feel it has a more personal touch than anime.

It depends on the series. When it is good, there is not any big loss in entertainment I think. But you know what will happen next and that means you might enjoy it less. But it works in the opposite way too.

Does anime spoil the manga,
or does manga spoil the anime?

also first comment since 15 months.

well, it aint really spoiling. it is just another way of enjoying the story. it depends on how u look at it.

Where I come from, Anime and Manga are quite rare to find but manga has started to become quite popular. So I would say it's better to read manga first then to watch anime.

I beg to differ, sometimes the animes don't follow manga plot(Full metal Alchemist for instance), so it doesn't really spoil at times.

well i prefer manga than anime in some circumstances but the fact that reading manga spoils the anime is true but i mean i find it that it doesn't spoil it in a bad way (like the quality of the anime or story isnt worse than the manga) its just that these days you can read the whole series witout the slow pace of anime and like people before me said fillers and such....

I'd read manga over watching anime since I don't think it'd spoil the plot. Rather, it makes you interested in how it will be animated or if the anime decides to take another approach to it since many adaptations don't follow the manga.

IMO, if you read the manga, don't watch the anime unless if it is like FMA (the first one) where the story changes. The only one IMO that seems memorable is any anime that have battle scenes that can't be represented with just frames on manga such as Soul Eater and Gundam

I used to watch and read Bleach, I didn't think it was that much of a problem.

Quite ironically, I find Fate/Stay Night manga to be lack-lustre, but probably because I've played the game first and hence my expectations are too great.

Yeah, I think it does spoil the anime... Maybe just because I am a Manga Elitist idiot.

This is a very situational question I think.

In some ways the manga can hype me up for anime. Like current one piece manga arc, I am looking very much forward to seeing animated.

In other instances I have criticized animes because of how they strayed from the manga, ala Air Gear.

Then there is just the part were I don't enjoy the anime as much if I know whats already happened/going to happen., which is the more common.

Yes it does. It makes you realize how bad the anime is. After reading Kuroshitsuji and watching the first episode, I was turned off because the episode took too long (even though I understand you have to do that).

Generally, I read manga more than I watch anime. This is because manga gives me more flexibility than anime. You can read manga anywhere suitable. Anime requires an electronic device.

Oh. The question. Does reading the manga spoil the fun of watching its anime counterpart later? Uh, yes and no.

Big "yes" example? "Love Hina". Thankfully, I did it the other way around because if I read the manga first, I would have thought that the anime is just eh at best, not okay. I would stomp on the anime as if there's no tomorrow. (Side note: "Love Hina" is the anime in which I started my love-hate relationship with Iwasaki-san.)

Big "no" example? "Marmalade Boy". For some reason, I get more interest in watching its anime more than reading the manga.

Well obviously reading the manga will spoil the anime but if your only reading the manga...well then your just reading!

I personally watch anime despite the slowness and lack of detail compared to manga.
But watching is easier than reading...

If you watch the read an old managa you could say that the anime is a spoiler lol 'ergo' it depends on which you prefer but doing both will cause one of them to be worse or ruined.

Hmmmm, not entirely sure.

I know that because i have seen the Nodame Paris Dorama the anime version is just rotting unseen on my drive... i mean, i know the story... and thats why i watch the stuff.
(Besides Tamaki Hiroshi in the Dorama just beats the drawn version by far kyaaaa *^^*)

But in case of manga... i don't really read mangas, i love to see the things animated with lovely music and so on.

I must say that Kemeko DX however puts me in a desperate need for the manga since the story doesn't really advance fast enough... for me...
I mean i really wanna know whyyyy it is all as hoowwwww it is...
And then they made this... anime... Oo;;
It's like a gigantic cliffhanger! ><

Anyways, i think i'm maybe a bit special in that case... or not... hmmmm, not entirely sure!

Reading fills in the gap that the show doesn't. But mostly, I try not to read too far ahead. Then everything is kinda expected and it does become slightly dull when it happens.

Most of the time i wtach anime first then read manga(or at the same time)
For me no....
i have Rozen maiden mannga
And currently reading toradora borrowed from friend,
Rozen maiden has a diffrent storyline between the manga and the anime...
Toradora is much more detailed in the mannga...

i don't think manga spoils anime viewing.
besides, i prefer manga to anime actually as it's the original stuff.
and even if the anime is following the manga's plot i still get excited watching it as i want to see it in action with SFX and talking as compared to manga where we read it and are left to our imagination because they can't draw every single frame.

Really works both ways for me, one is always going to spoil the other a little. But it doesn't really bug me either way, I usually read and manga and watch the anime in whatever order I discover them.

Well i think manga is better than anime because they usually make changes to the anime if its based off of something else first such as visual novel, manga, etc., some have little changes while others have major changes. When i read the manga first + if there will be an anime adaptation i usually would rather see the manga plot lines being animated instead of a whole new approach which most of the time is not as good as the manga, etc...

Honestly, not really. Partly, I don't get manga very often, so I usually see the entire series first, but even when I don't, there's always differences, even if they closely follow the manga.

I personally think that it doesn't spoil the fun when reading manga first, instead it makes me more curious on how the anime will end up.

Eh for Minami-ke, I don't feel there's too much spoilage, since as slice of life stuff there's nothing wrong with expectations. Sure I know what's going to happen, but its different enough with voices and animation that its completely new.
That said, I saw the anime first, so the manga just added more content to it.
And I never caught that second series, Okawari.

In my case Gantz anime spoiled Gantz manga. Personally, I think that the worst version is the one who spoils the other.

For me reading manga usually doesn't spoil the anime because I watch the anime first and then when it is ended read the manga. At least this is how it has been lately. And I like it this way because the manga is usually more detailed and so still interesting to read after watching anime. Of cause there are exceptions to this like xxxHolic.

Not really because, its always nice to see how they do the anime to the manga. And a lot of time, to make episodes longer they add filler parts which, if executed well, can enhance the experience. It's cool to see your favourite manga scenes in full motion. Feels like I'm watching it for the first time sometimes.

Like many have said already, it depends on the series. A personal experience with the manga version of a series is Dragonball Z...I got into the anime pretty good, but by the time I went ahead in the manga, it spoiled it for me. It took me a while after DBZ ended to fully enjoy the manga.

The newer series like Naruto and Bleach: I'm further ahead of the manga for Naruto than the anime, and I'm further ahead in the anime with Bleach. Fullmetal Alchemist didn't matter for me since it doesn't end evenly with the anime. =P

Manga is normally the original version where the story comes from, so I generally prefer manga over anime.

With the exception of a few anime where it is nicely done, and that the manga is too messy to read.

I think reading the manga gives you any idea of what to expect in the anime, also there are some anime that do not even follow the manga all the way

Actually for me normally the anime spoils the manga... although I personally enjoy reading manga a little bit more than watching anime. But I really love them both.

Here's how I see it:
If it's a short series with a set episode count for each season, I'd suggest that you don't read. If the anime has mad fillers, then that means it's probably going to be really long. In this case, go ahead and read on.

I wouldn't read Minami-ke. It's relatively short and you can easily catch up with the anime.
