@ienzyx
well the psycho pass anime is almost universally (out of the opinions I've heard and read) better than the manga, however, the Anime came first.
also, I preferred the OHSHC Anime to the manga, the ending of the manga was a pretty weird turn to me and I almost don't like how basically everything was resolved. I think the Anime ended really well to be honest. I'm really tired so there may be more, idk. I just think that you shouldn't blindly say that the manga is always better because when you get down to it, it's a matter of opinion n.n

I think there are really good and extremely bad german dubs.
I agree with you, most Ghibli movies have great german dub.
When it comes to other anime,.... arrgh...

I'll just say: I usually watch anime in english, even if there actually is a german version.
I just can't accept the fact that they have the same voices as actors for shows that are for the age group of first graders.
I just can't.

I prefer jap dub over eng. If not ger dub than mostly jap dub with ger sub or eng sub if I can't find the other. I often have problems to understand eng dub without sub so I rather avoid that.
Love Gerrit Schmidt-Foß, Helmut Krauss, Till Hagen and Oliver Rohrbeck and those other that I can't remember that well. Many anime only get german dub after I already finished them so I didn't watch many with it and ger dub is harder to find on the internet, but I like the german dub of Detective Conan, Death Note (as far as I watched it), Guardian of the Spirit, Yugioh, Inuyasha, Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne, Pretty Cure, Nadia and the Secret of Blue Water, most anime movies I watched...
There are cases of pretty bad ger dub, but I find it a bit sad, that people think that all ger dub is bad because of that and don't even try it anymore. It's sad for those really good voice actors and I guess the dub won't get better if nobody watches it anyway. Though I think many of the better ones also rather do movies, games or audio dramas (maybe because they get more money for it).

@Userwithaname
That may be true in some cases, but sometimes the Anime is better than the Manga, I wouldn't generalize that Manga is always better. Plus, some people can't really read mangas, I can never get used to reading from right to left so i hardly read mangas xnx

do you have any anime you'd call better than the original manga? i can't think of any, but then again i'm a pretty big manga fan so i might be a bit biased haha.
in manga, the story is a lot less rushed since there isn't as much worry about a 23 minute limit. it's also easier for me to connect to the characters, though i've noticed some characters are more likable when animated

Somehow I read lots of mangas, but not those from which I also saw the anime. Though I think there are many animes from which I would say, that they are as good as the manga and it just feels nice to see the characters moving. Action manga just get more speed animated, though some manga manage to portray very exciting fights (sometimes I also get suprised about how well a fight gets described in a novel). Also comedy sometimes gains something from being animated and stories can also get another atmosphere with music.
Fullmoon wo Sagashite, Mermaid Melody and Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne seem to have more content (didn't read the manga, just judging from the number of chapters the mangas have), but don't change much of the story. You can like the changes or not, but I would say some in Fullmoon were good changes.
I tried reading Vampire Night, but the story just went to crazy for me so I would say the anime is better than the manga.

I also think the Blue Exorcist anime is better, I stopped reading the manga because one of the characters joined the Illuminati and it just seemed really out of character and strange, and the manga took a weird turn after that. As much as I dislike the ending of BE, it's better than the Manga.

I own both the movie and the manga to wolf children. The art in the manga looks amazing but I think if you havent seen the movie to it then you would get lost in the manga

[nightbeat]

ahh i see, i see. i haven't seen those animes so i wouldn't know haha. things like karneval, tokyo ghoul, and kagerou project had a far better manga then anime, though those were mangas (aside from kagepro) to begin with. i guess the adaption to anything tends to suck more than the original heheh

@darkside Really? I thought the manga came first for psycho-pass???

@Naala just a PSA lol "jap" is actually kind of derogatory term, if you want to abbreviate "Japanese" you should use "JPN" C:

And as for art in the manga vs art in the anime, I feel the same way about Psycho-pass and Death Note in that the art is fantastic in the manga, it has a sensitivity that you can't get with the quality of animation that companies are currently puttingn out.

That said, Psycho-Pass and Death Note are also similar in that the anime is easier to watch than the manga is to read. (Esp Death Note) Because it is written with so much dialogue as if it is a novel- it is a much more natural experience to hear all the words spoken rather than taking hours to read them yourself.

@Akami-chan
I think that the Manga was based off of the Anime, if I'm not mistaken. I agree on the art sensitivity part though. I think the action scenes are just better in the Anime, they capture the emotion and fast-pace of the scenes more effectively imo.

It's hard to think of all possible meaning of a word, jap dub is understandable and the first three letters like ger and eng, since I'm also not referring to people.
I only watched Death Note and only half of it, but I would say that there are some scenes that look a bit cooler with the music and animated (like the one with Light writing fast in the Death Note). Just hearing voices in dark scenes or seeing them in colour changes the atmosphere.

@Naala, It is widely seen as a derogatory term, and JPN is safer to use, just wanted to let you know so you don't accidentally upset people C:
