and why?

 

[NEETAndTidy]

I prefer manga because I really enjoy reading.

 

[acnescarcel]

whats light/visual novels?

 

[Deleted member 8353]

Anime, although VNs are alright. When I muster up the ambition to read I don't do it only for a distraction, I try to learn something as well. I only read history, philosophy, and theology.

 

[orchis]

I prefer anime if it's done properly (good animation and faithful to source material).

I mostly watch anime because I love it to hear voice actors . However I will read more novels after I started my Japanese studies and when I am advanced enough to read them

whats light/visual novels?

light novels = japanese short novels with pictures

visual novels = japenese story games usually consisting of multiple routes

 

[Deleted member 8499]

I only watch anime

I prefer anime because it's low effort, high action. I only read the manga of stories I'm really dedicated to, and I'm far more willing to give an anime a shot than a manga (unless I already know enough about it).

I prefer anime because it's low effort

how so?

 

[Deleted member 8353]

how so?

I think because it takes more effort to read as opposed to watch something.

Overall I prefer manga since it goes by faster than the others. Vn's are especially time consuming. That being said I really like them all aside from light novels, I've never read one.

complete opposite for me i have to concentrate when watching on visuals and subtitles when i read it's just images and a few words

Pretty much. The action is literally drawn out for you, you don't have to make inferences or keep postures in mind when flipping pages, you don't have to imagine or figure out how they got from x fighting position to y fighting position, and I think it goes without saying that watching something is a more passive activity than reading something. You also read faster and more "naturally" when the text is presented to you in 1 line fragments than it is in page-like format. However, for manga like Death Note I think it does make sense to read it over watching it, as it is more about thinking and less about action, so to be able to stop (without pressing pause) and think about what was just said is a welcome option.

It's a tie for anime and manga.

 

[Deleted member 3291]

then again I only read action manga

Anime because it's easy to access
