What's an anime that was better than the manga?

[SSJ2]

If you can think of one.

 

[Mystic]

I haven't read the mangos of either but I'd certainly prefer to watch NGE and FMA over their respective mangas I think

 

[Fantastische Hure]

IIRC from what I heard Ghost in the Shell in anime format is much superior to its manga form.

Yeah, ghost in the shell sucked in manga format. Actually read it.

Welcome to the NHK!

Possibly Gintama.

Ghost in the shell was good aside from half of the anime being filler episodes.

 

[Papasmurf]

Ghost in the Shell, Yu Yu Hakusho, the post-Lust parts of FMA/B, Vinland Saga, Planetes and anything with Gundam in it basically. There are also OVAs and movies that improve upon the source material, but I can't be fucked to list em all.

 

[Yoshi]

Yu Yu Hakusho, Hunter X Hunter.

 

[Symbiote]

HxH for sure. How the fuck you gonna animate pages of just text.

 

[SSJ2]

Man I was thinking of watching HxH until I saw the first arc was like 30 episodes long

 

[Warmmedown]

I enjoyed the first arc more on rewatch.
