Day Sixteen: Manga VS Anime.

 

Guess who finished "Love Stage!"?

It's a lovely BL-anime (BL, for all the anime novices, stands for boy love or boys love) filled with sparkles, moe, and nose bleeds. It end's in a semi-cliffhanger. You could end the series on that note or you could continue on in the manga.

That got me thinking about the pros and cons of anime vs manga. The argument goes much like the old books vs film. It is said that when you adapt, you lose detail and often have more filler. While this is true for the long running anime (such as Naruto or Bleach.) I'm not too sure that it is true for short run anime like Love Stage!

So I present to you, in spirit of anime day,

ANIME

PROs: 

• Pretty colors!
• Movement!
• Voice actors bringing life to the character (Talking about you octopimp. Freaking love Thugisa...)
• Fun Music
• Anyone can watch

CONs:

• Leaves out detail!
• Often doesn't finish a story
• Bad animation??
• Bad Dubs (Looking at you 90's era Sailor Moon)
• CENSORSHIP

MANGA

PROs:

• Less filler!
• More character development and story
• Back stories
• Fun minor characters
• Collection value

CONs: 

• No color (in most cases)
• Hard to follow for newcomers ("What do you mean its read from right to left??")
• More solitary experience
• Hard to grasp fight scenes
• CENSORSHIP

Like anything, anime and manga is it's own can of worms. But you better believe that I will love all of it for a long time..

Have Fun and Be Awesome!
