Naruto Shippūden: Anime vs. Manga

[Uchiha Slayer]

I just wanted to know which one is better to the naruto fans out there. The anime or the manga. This is a never ending discussion as long as naruto shippuden is alive

As the anime series keep coming along post your opinions on which one is better the anime or manga.

Post away!!!



****What I'm going to do is refresh the POLL every 5 Shippuden episodes, so that if anybody minds changes as the anime progress with the manga they'll have the option of changing their answer to the poll question every 5 Shippuden episodes.Thanks!****

1st post wohoooot!!


Ok Right now I started reading the manga after the spoilers began. Cuz my naruto introduction was way after the anime started. So i'm towards the anime cuz thats what I saw first. Besides I loved the intro. I think it was the shit!!!!!!

It really gets the viewers into it!!!

second post........ u know the manga has it's goods and bads same as the anime...... but I prefer the manga ...... that's my opinion

of course the manga has the story in advance. But personally, I think the anime did it justice, and elevated the experience to a higher level.

Because if it was a comparison of the naruto anime and manga in general, that would be totally different.

I actually liked the Manga version of the beginning of part two more. It just had a bigger impact on me, it was more emotional and felt fresh. At least that is how i remember it anyway. Don't get me wrong the anime was good too but I think they gave away one of the greatest spoiler moments in part two. That knocked it down a peg or two for me.

[rokudai(ME)]

i believe the manga is better cuz thats where it all started...but the animation is great on naruto shippuden its just like the movies...well i still pick the manga over the anime on part one but now i love them both...

[4thHokage]

as a manga reader i feel like the anime did good, however from a thirds perspective they should held back the reappearance of sasuke... why? because around the time sasuke reaapeared in the manga there was a huge buzz on the sasuke reapearance.... i dont know i just like the chronological order on how the manga progresed.
The akatsuki theme is awsome!

however abit off topic if they do make flashbacks of kg...itl just murder the story

You know, it's to early to judge, it Shippuden is better than manga part 2.. it was only one episode now (double :x). If it would mean for that between first chapter manga part 2 and 1 episode Shippuden, I would choose SHippuden. Great animation, graphic, and awesome music. But in overall, I like manga better ;p Anime is just another plus to manga ^^ So yeah, I vote for manga xD

[pjoto]

I actually, for the first time, I'm gonna vote for the anime.
The new music and drawings impressed me beyond words.
Now it feels like, how should I put it. It's like, when I read the manga, It kinda feels like I'm just reading a script, and I'm just waiting to see how it unfolds on my TV later on. How it's edited, animated and played out.

The pacing in the new anime series is painfully slow.

Other than that, the studio seems to still love making Naruto's eyes independant of each other. Cross-eyed Naruto was a problem during the Forest of Death Arc but by now they should've learned their lesson...

the manga wins, it contained Kakashi Gaiden. shippuden did not. when that changes i will consider to maybe reconsider my opinion.

[godofthesunn]

so far the manga is better but the anime is great though. a new feel and it looks fantastic.

I kinda wish that i had never read past the gaiden now because it would be soo much more intresting.

I just hope that the stop deviating from the story line and do the story justice.

[Jammin]

Manga for me. The anime would be better if they weren't being intentionally slow.

If the anime was all like the first five minutes of the shippuden then i would like the anime better by quite a margin.

[_ATMA]

for me its a combination of both x.x the manga can explain stuff but the anime can make things flow a bit better but its sometimes cool when they add filler to the episode to spruse it up from the manga but sometimes it can suck but i prefear the manga since its there first XD lol
