Yes, the manga is good (I own Vol 1, 3-6) but the anime is not. This is based on story, plot & characters.

Or maybe it is the manga is too good compared to the anime adaptation.

I'll admit it. Proud owner of tanks 1-7 (Because buying them in Japan is much cheaper than buying in the states... This was one of those series that I would have read earlier it it wasn't for the fact that it is so pricey.)

I have had nothing but fun with the manga. The pacing, art, plot, characters are great fun. It is also set for a certain number of tanks and will not be dragged out like so much other manga that becomes popular. It will end this year. So says the author anyway at the end of tank 7.

As for the anime I watched the first few episodes and in that time they were able to turn this series into another FMP Season 1 where there are good points but you can't help but sit back and scratch the back of your head going "They could have done half the work and made it better..."

The anime pacing spoils the fun of the plot and the surprises just don't seem as well timed as the anime which seemed (To me anyway) to end up falling over its own feet trying to get everything out in the open in the first 5-6 episodes.

I never did watch past epsode 5-6 and I honestly don't feel like I am missing the end of the world or anything either.

Verdict - Manga proves that it tastes great and is less filling than the anime.

:O u wanna translate the manga~~~?

hahah, the group that's doing it says it needs a translator...:O

and vol 4 just left off on a cliff hanger. i wanna readdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd more!!

i guess i'll just lay off the anime then... seems like anime adaption of manga/novels/etc don't usually turn out too well huh?

Most adaptations don't turn out well.

But in my opinion Fullmetal Alchemist does it well. However they have another 20+ episodes to prove me wrong Razz

feh stupid american manga companies. it costs an arm and a leg just to get a volume when u can get it for 2-3 bucks in japan. -_-. *ponders chinese versions*

oh and about rosette's brother, how can he use the horns if he's not a demon? it kind of just magically sticks to his head and he turns evil. Confused
