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...
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.
