Which is more efficient when it comes to story telling?

[Sierra G719]

Manga or Anime?

Manga: latest chapter as it releases in Japan. Requires reading obviously so you have to pay attention to little details.
Stuff can get off screened

Anime: behind the manga, but you get to watch events unfold in real time. Covers numerous chapters. Off screened events may become fillers (7NSM filler)

Which is more efficient in your opinion?

 

[Punk Hazard]

Manga for story, anime for action. That's how it is for me.

 

[Narutohokage7]

Manga for story, anime for action. That's how it is for me.

This.

 

[HashiramaDescendant]

The manga (Naruto) explains things better.

 

[chad062388]

Manga for me, more depth imo.

 

[Yusuke Urameshi]

Manga for story, anime for action. That's how it is for me.

Said perfectly.

 

[SonictheHedgehog]

Mostly better art in the manga, but the anime is bringing it to life. Plus like the other guy said theres sometimes small details and sometimes you can't tell what's happening.

[Aertes]

Manga for story, anime for action. That's how it is for me.

Agreed.

 

[Sir Blades]

manga is more efficient for me, the animation sucks for naruto.

 

[two fates]

I prefer manga

 

[MizukiIsTobi]

The anime is automatically better at telling the story since it uses animation instead of pictures. I admit some of Kishi's taijutsu fights in the manga are hard to comprehend.

Buuuuuttt the anime sucks. I'd rather just read the manga.

 

[Retsu]

Manga for story, anime for action. That's how it is for me.

This pretty much explains it all

 

[Wood Release]

Manga for story, anime for action. That's how it is for me.

This

 

[Melanee]

Manga, it's like when you read a novel and then it becomes a movie, things are left out, changed or sometimes rushed.

 

[CrimsonFire]

I prefer manga because of story and it's more entertaining to me. The anime ether censor some material from the manga or fillers. Everyone has their preference so it depends really.
