And watching every bit of Fullmetal Alchemist I can. Yup.
Day 10: Anime vs. manga?
Okay so I have mixed feelings about this. I mean I got into Sailor Moon back in the before time in the long, long ago. So before there was tumblr or any of the bajillionty sites that you can find manga on. So getting the original manga would've been near impossible for me, if I had even know WHAT THE FUCK IT WAS!
So I mean, the anime is what introduced to me to Sailor Moon.... not just the anime but the flipping DiC dub. Which at the time I was young and stupid and didn't know better so it was FREAKING AWESOME OKAY!? GIRL POWER YEAH!
Looking at the dub now makes me cringe in so many ways. But without the anime I wouldn't know Sailor Moon, unless I was maybe just now being introduced to it through all the art I see on tumblr (which would be so weird).
The manga I read later, and only in weird scans here and there with questionable translations and out of order. It's not just now that I'm actually reading the manga all in order online. And it's amazing (of course).
So while I want to say the manga is better (because it is) I wouldn't be the looney person I am if not for the anime and I hold a certain affection for it.
