thats why i prefer the manga, better art, better screenplay, the voice acting all depends on your imagination, sorry but out of the manga and anime i've seen i just prefer any manga over any anime. I read 3-4 volumes of dbz manga when i first got into dbz, cudnt put it down, i watched a few episodes of the anime and was disappointed with every episode. With naruto however... its slightly different, the fight scenes arent as well thought out in the manga, and harder to follow, due to many things, particularly detailed backgrounds distracting the eye in fight scenes and kanji as sound effects make it a little harder to illustrate the action correctly. Apart from that i still like the manga more (in particular the shonen jump ones i own). However i cant be too sure that reading ahead may have effected my enjoyment of the anime, but in the past i'd read the entire frieza saga of the dbz manga, then the first episode of dbz i watched was buu saga and i was still disappointed with every episode. I will be getting 125, just because i think it'll be more entertaining than 124.
