Anime or manga?

[gr1mfnadng0]

So out of interest sake what medium of one piece do people on this forum follow it on? Do you watch the anime or read the manga?

At the moment om watching the anime and i just caught up to the last episode (586) and I am very tempted to keep reading the manga instead.

What do the rest of you do?

I only watch the anime. Started as a kid when it was on Toonami, but after it got cancelled on w.e, i forgot all about it. Last summer it just popped in my head, and I remembered the baroque works arc and i wanted to watch it, so I started from the very beginning and spent most of my summer catching up. Currently on the latest episode, watching ever saturday. Im also tempted to read the manga, because of all the alliance talk and so on that I keep hearing about, but I just think One Piece is something I have to watch rather than read, because its alot of movement and fighting and its too intense for manga to me. Naruto and Bleach, yea I read manga

I watch the anime, then read the manga after the fact. I'm not very far though. I'm only on Skypiea in the anime, and I only own the first three volumes.

What can I say, I'm an anime guy. I only just started reading manga itself recently, mostly for the anime that I've watched that just end in a really crappy way while the manga goes on to explore new heights. One Piece I'm not planning on readin' unless that unholy event comes to pass, which may be unlikely, but hey, it happened with both Bleach and Fairy Tail, both of which were also pretty mainstream, so...

[rocko52 (Drago)]

Well Fairy Tail is getting picked back up, and Bleach is severely declining in popularity...

And seeing as One Piece is by the far THE BEST SEELLING MANGA OF ALL TIME and because it's like a cultural icon in Japan now, I can day that I'm 99.999999999% sure they'll never cancel the anime (till it's done).

I prefer anime to manga mostly because of the colors, movement, and most importantly, the music and VA's. Whenever I read the manga, I always have parts of the OST playing in my mind's music player. (Haha) Though it is odd trying to picture the VA's speaking English, so I usually just imagine the Funi dub actors. (I've been watching both Japanese and Fun Dub from time to time)

Manga all day!

Well thanks to Christmas and my sister, I now own Volumes 4-5 of One Piece as well. I quickly ate them up, I love One Piece!
