Should I watch the Anime?

[Green Hood]

Is there anything I'm missing from not watching the Anime that I'm not getting from reading the Manga?

Besides fillers.

 

[Ryuu..]

LOL you don't watch the anime? It just shows the action better IMO.

 

[gutSy Sage]

ya epic fights in color

I think you should just to give you some naruto in between the manga! :3 I would recomend watching the Japanese version and look up an episode guide so you can bypass the fillers!

Anime brings Manga to life, it's a must......There's many moment in Bleach while reading I was like "That was sick"......Then watching I was like "WHAT THE F*****".......Seriously, it was so awesome I forgot how to spell words I can't say on this forum.....

 

[~MC117~]

Yeah but skip the fillers, but the manga overall is better though

 

[OWanime]

the manga is where the facts are but the anime is just more exciting to watch fights in xd

And I love the soundtrack

Lets say the manga is alcohol, and the anime is a chaser. The anime holds back some content in the anime. Like when shikamaru beat hidan, he smoked a cigarette and blew him up with it, in the anime he pulled out a lighter, failed to light it, cried, the blew up hidan

As a fan of animation, i watch the anime just to see the animation, shich is why im usually bitching at how they can do much better every now and then, but as long as i know what really went down by reading the manga, the anime is merely so that i can be entertained and see what the animation team can come up with

Thank you all for your input I'll be sure to start watching Shippuden instead of just reading it

It depends on what you read the manga for. If you're in it for action, the anime has more of it. If you want plot development, it's easier to just read the manga.

Yes indeed before shippuden the jokes r hilarious.....the fights r insane, it's just as great as the manga

 

[D3A]

Thank you all for your input I'll be sure to start watching Shippuden instead of just reading it

not instead, ALONG WITH. If you dont read the manga and just watch the anime, you'll lose interest the second they start pulling bullshit

 

[Thefairytailwizard]

Just read the manga. The anime is just too slow and too much filler. I haven't seen filler this bad since DBZ (but DBZ's filler was awesome)

 

[The Rogue Ninja]

Yeah, the anime is awesome, well besides the fillers... You get more comedy and action imo.

I've read the Manga before the anime was ever released and I always look forward to seeing an anime episode of what I already read. I mean.. people watch movies based on books they've read all the time so anime is no different (other than following it better usually).
I also absolutely love canon fillers, like Pain's fight and the little brawl at the end of Konan's fight.

Just don't watch the dub, you'll miss out on all the sexy voices, like Kisame's amazing voice actor. c.c
