Which do you like better, Anime or Manga?

I personally like manga better since it is more slow paced and understandable. Anime is alright, but can get really repetative and many times annoying. EX: Salior moon, all there powers are repeated over and over again, but in the manga, they change it around here and there. Another example, digimon, same as salior moon.
Manga is better and it also develops reading skils.

I prefer anime, because it's actually easier on the wallet and I don't have to wait for years for a series to finish.

Heh, don't you think that's too broad a question? Unless you just have a preference for the format itself, for a specific series - it really depends. I mean, I'll be the first to say Love Hina is way the heck more sensible in the manga, or that KareKano is better in manga format by virtue of continuing the series properly, but I can't extend that generalization to all anime/manga pairs (and, well, I couldn't think of an example where the anime for a series was better than the manga, but that is purely coincidental!)

i agree, although i if it were me, i wouldn't choose. there are time where you read the manga first, and you realize theres an anime too! you really look foreward to seeing the manga characters move, for example, bleach, i read the manga and then watched the anime. there were certain fight scenes i just couldn't wait to see animated!

I'd have to say Fullmetal Alchemist is better as an anime than a manga. However, that's really one of the only instances that I can say I prefer the anime. I almost always prefer the comics, mainly because they delve more into the characters and storylines than the animes do.

in terms the manga has alot more story and delopment in it. but the anime is easier to understand if there was like a fight sceen in it. manga can be confusing when there is a fight.Manga has a lot more blood and action that the anime cant place in, so I think that they are both equal, but sometimes the manga is better than the anime.

Why is it that a favorite must be made? Is thier realy any point choosing between two good things when you can easily have ample amounts of both?

In terms of the action, I think anime is waaaaaaaay better because you can see everything thats going on and you dont get confused. In manga however, man, I just finished the second volume of Wolf's Rain (i DID NOT get that ending by the way) which has a lot of fighting and a lot of blood, and I was confused as hell!!

I couldnt tell what was going on!! So I think anime is better on that topic. As for the story, I like how the anime plays everything out because It's easier to understand, but yes the manga does have more story line in it, the "original" story, but sometimes the anime makes it better, take InuYasha for an example, yea Rumiko Takahashi isant finished with the series, but shes just cool like that ^_~ I really think the anime helped a lot. All in all, I like anime better ^_^
