What do you guys think?
Manga > Anime

While I haven't finished the anime, I think the manga is much better. Sven is horrible in the anime! He drives me nuts... and here he is my favorite in the manga. *sighs* I DO like Train in the anime, though. Of course, that may be partly because his voice actor is beyond amazing.

Oh, yeah. Eve isn't nearly as cute in the anime. D:

The manga, I feel, has a better grip on both the story and the characters. The anime isn't bad, per se, but... it just falls way, way short IMO.

Perhaps I should read the manga. When watching the anime I was wondering If I had perhaps accidently skipped an episode since there was so much content missed out between events I wasn't too sure what the hell was happening at the end.

Would have been nice to have some further explanation of things than what the anime provided.

Manga.
I won't even start on how they messed up the relationships between the characters, chara's desing it's awful and the WTF with the plot. Hated the anime, loved to end the manga.

Sven was the only character I liked from this show, but he was portayed as kind of useless. I should probably check out the manga.

Alucard and Seras

I prefer the manga. Not only was the storyline more complete, the whole impression is better. Also, the animation in the anime seems rushed and done with half spirit, or heart or whatever you could call it.
Manga, I say, even though the anime had its moments!

I prefer the manga because there's more storyline going on, and I felt the anime screwed up by making Train change so suddenly from his assassin-self to his new sweeper-self (the change was very dramatic and in the matter of a night).

Definitely the manga, it's way better. Can't wait for volume 15 to come out :D.

Edit: I have already read volume 15, I'm now waiting for tomorrow to come around so I can buy volume 16.

It's times like this that I wish that bookstores were open 24/7 and that there was one in every single plaza area.

I've only read the manga, but I have to say it is quite probably the epitome, the perfect representation, the dictionary definition, of the word: Generic.

Maybe I should have wasted my time with the anime, would have looked prettier. Faithful adaptation anyone?

I've just finished the anime, and that was horrible.
I'll give the manga a try.

I agree with all of this

mmm they are both equal to my opinion,
the manga has more but the anime wasn't bad either
no episodes were boring and they were funny as well
so both!

I absolutely loved the manga and I thought that the anime was alright, that is until the Eden arc. Yeah, we're just not going to go there.

However, I do like the way things were wrapped up in the anime better than how they were in the manga. I know, it sounds weird to me too.
