What is more interesting and exciting: anime or manga? Asking this question is like comparing a book and a movie based on this book.
Japanese culture is gaining more and more fans in Russia. Interior items in a traditional Japanese style, architectural motifs of gazebos in country houses, rock gardens, trips to sushi bars and, of course, watching Japanese animation - anime and reading Japanese comics - manga. Many anime are based on popular manga. Both anime and manga have their own strengths.
Idea and storyline
Anime does not always accurately convey the author's idea. The plot may differ in both minor details and dramatically. Some scenes in the manga may not be included in the anime's airtime. Also, not all anime "grew" out of manga. The idea of the story can be taken from a computer game or be original.
Drawing characters and entourage
Manga is an author's work, there may be assistants who are engaged in painting large details or backgrounds, but the basis is the author's hand. The anime is essentially a copy of the original (if the original was a manga). Not all details can be reflected identically to the manga, and, therefore, are no longer presented as the author intended. The exception is full-length films, in which both the idea is original and the author's drawing. Manga is released in black and white, leaving room for imagination, while anime is pleasing to the eye with colors and details of the environment.
Audio design
An indisputable plus of anime is musical themes. These are the opening and ending screensavers, as well as background sounds. As a rule, the music is written for a specific anime, which helps to feel the atmosphere of the story while watching. Voices are given to the characters by voice acting specialists - seiyu, they also often participate in the recording of songs for anime. When reading a manga, you can only rely on your imagination to choose the tone of voice for the hero.
Completeness of the story
It happens that only part of the story is screened, while manga can tell much more about the life of the heroes you love. There are frequent cases when series about heroes that are not related to the main plot - fillers are added to an anime series, this is done due to the fact that the author of the manga does not have time to release new chapters. In the anime, only a few of the author's stories are filmed, while the stunning in depth of experience, the relevance of the topic, the intrigue and ideological nature of the story, and exist exclusively in the manga format.
There is no unequivocal answer to the question of what is more interesting than manga or anime. Manga and anime organically complement each other, these are sides of the same medal - part of the world of Japanese culture. After watching anime, it is interesting to get acquainted with the original - manga, note for yourself the author's details, consider the features of drawing. And vice versa. After enjoying the story in the manga - admire the revived game of the heroes, plunge into the world of colors and sounds of anime. Both manga and anime are fascinating. What to choose, everyone decides for himself.
