ow..... i think im gonna cry....... oh well, yeah well, i dont really like anime that much so yeah i prefer the manga...... i suppose its like book vs film, but manga are a half way point between a book and a tv program, i dunno, its just imo, the original is always better, as everything corresponds to the original creators ideas. I think Alea said somewhere that the anime looks better than the manga..... i could draw pics anc colour them probably that would look like i'd taken them straight outta the anime and to be honest its pretty damn easy, remember they are churned out in factories like clock work, but i couldnt recreate the manga look, because it is so accurate, and when your only working with black and white you can give a really good impact, because the contrast between tones is so high, but this also makes it harder to work with, and the consistancy of the manga is awesome, every character always looks absolutely brilliant.
Of course you can say the manga has no voice actors or fluid animation, but it all depends on your imagination, to me when i read a manga, i dont realise that its actually what im doing, i read it and get completely absorbed, just like watching TV, so to me it makes no difference. Alea also mentioned sumwhere that i should be watching the story and not switching off the episode because of the animation being bad, i didnt say that, i said it was because the anime just has little tension behind it and it just doesnt captivate me..... i dunno the manga just somehow gives such a cool vibe, i luv it, but like i said before whatever floats your boat is fine with me.
