Ask Anime Question of the Week:
It sometimes goes like Anime first then get interested in the manga. But for manga readers, what's the first show you already knew about from the source material?
Rules:
- Comment your answer to the weekly question to this post as an entry.
- Must be in English but you can attach a section for a different language too as long as there is an English section that conveys the same thought.
- Response must not be AI generated. While this can sometimes be a challenge to detect and prove, it's not worth trying because you're being asked to share in your own words.
There are quite a lot, but to name a few, there's Blue Lock, Ao Ashi, Windbreaker, Boukyaku Battery, Blue Box, Undead Unlock and so on. They're mostly sports comics or something from Shonen JUMP. XD There are also some BL comics that were made into anime later on like Love Stage, Super Lovers, Dakaichi, Tadaima Okaeri, etc... ^^
And ohh.. there are some Webtoons, too... though I never really watched the anime version like Noblesse, ORV, Lookism, etc. :)
Wow, that's pretty impressive and cool. I've read only three mangas, and one of them is a manhwa.
I love both manga and anime... I do it the other way, too... Anime first, then couldn't wait, so I read the manga...
That's what I did with Naruto. I started watching the anime and then I followed the manga.
hahaha... Never watched the anime version of Naruto. I just read the manga. :D
The anime is a masterpiece. You just need to take out the fillers (with some exceptions) and you'll watch one of the best animes ever.
The manga is enough for me... I don't know why... maybe I'm more of a One Piece fan when it comes to the big three...
Noblesse! I've finished watching the anime, but I really felt lacking—like medg bitin ako...is this completed? I'm really curious about their lore because I feel that there's something more than what's shown in the anime.
Noblesse is completed na, pero I need to re-read from the beginning coz I forgot where I stopped. Kana ganing ongoing pa ba, nya imo sa padaghanon ang chapters. hahaha Pero when the anime was released, ongoing pa ang WebToon ato... :D
Awww ahahahha relate gud ko ani kay maglibog na gud ko once mudaghan na ang updates—nya mapugos na lang gud ka nga ireread kay mamix up na nimo ang plot niya sa mga current reads nimo ahahhaha... bitaw okiii it's nice na completed na siya, will try binge-reading it once done na ko sa mga last reportings hehe
Dba?? Happens every time... XD
Cgiii... Good luck sa reporting!!! 😸
Geee thanks :D
Gantz, that was recommended to me in college haha, I saw some pages and I liked the costumes and the theme, then I borrowed a cd to watch the anime, is one of the few Mangas that I could see complete, I was waiting for the premieres to see them online week by week, then I will talk about Gantz because I did not remember it for a long time haha 😂
A friend of an ex-partner of mine lent me a bag full of mangas and the first one I read was DNA2. Then I saw the anime and there I realized how many details are omitted and I started to be more interested in the manga to appreciate those details that are omitted in the anime 😂
I'm not a manga reader, but I read Naruto, although I was watching the anime at the same time, so I think I doesn't count.
The manga I first read before watching the anime was Tokyo Ghoul and then Solo Leveling, although it isn't a manga but a manhwa.
Actually, there's a lot of anime that I first knew in the manga, then I decided to wait and try the adaptation...SpyxFamily, Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun, Nanatsu no Taizai (I tried watching the anime, but manga had set my standard high so I kinda dropped it along the way and just got contented with finishing the manga), Four Knights of Apocalypse, Dandadan (I haven't finished the anime!), Bleach (I read the manga first then tried the anime), Dress up Darling, Kaiju no. 8, Chainsaw Man, Ao no Exorcist, Kusuriya no Hirogoto, Yakuza Fiance and many more. I more like a manga fanatic way back then, so I tend to read the manga (preferably completed or with many chaps) first then try the anime.
