Anime, I don't think I've ever read any anime. I just find the anime easier and more visually appealing I guess :P

LOL.

I prefer reading manga.

It's much easier to follow.

Anime is more appealing but I'm always stuck on the books.

I prefer manga, you can go at it in your own pace, and they keep everything while the anime sometimes leaves things out.

Plus it's less time consuming when you can finish like 3 chapters(Each episode is 1-2 chapters) by the time you finish 1 anime episode.

I prefer anime, the mix of music and stunning visuals just beats manga hands down for me. I do agree about anime missing things out though.

i don't know.. depends :\
before i started reading manga i would have definitely told you how i prefer anime but now it depends on the series and genre
i like funny and action filled anime but if it's something more dark then i prefer manga.
but then again, i also prefer yaoi manga over anime which is always lovey-dovey-silly

hmmm am a complicated being, i cant explain myself

Yeah those are some good points. I should probably try looking into getting some manga and try it out =]

If it's something like a action/martial art anime, I'd watch it over the manga only if it's more visually appealing. Like Sword Art Online, Guilty Crown, etc~

I completely agree with you on this.
If the animation is better, then I'll go for the Anime variant for that series.
And vice-verse.
